Month: September 2024

So, when we connect project members to our networks, we enroll the interface on our side into our NMS for accounting. Every project member or end user can make use of up to 600GB of transit each month before being placed into a lower QoS bucket. Or so that it how things are supposed to work.

Our NMS applied its updates on its own daily not needing any real oversight from our team until about four days ago. An update failed to apply correctly which resulted in a complete failure of accounting and a mix up of interface names not matching with their respective subnets. So, in a nutshell, there was zero traffic accounting for about four days because none of the data that was accounted was correct.

This has been sorted out as of this morning and everyone’s monthly usage was reset.

Marbled Fennec Networks has gone through the interview process, vetting and getting to know a new volunteer who has passed all of our checks and is being setup to work alongside our teams. Aurora is a Florida fur who will be going through training with our network volunteers to begin their role as the secondary tech for our networking stack. Once everything is in place for them, they will be responsible for things like firmware upgrades, managing a Minecraft instance and helping with the support desk.

We have been working with the LIR on setting up PTR for our ‘2602:f992:f3::/48’ network and this feature is now working correctly. Lookups will be answered by our name servers, meaning our default and member set records will now be returned. If you have a service on your subnet or a machine that needs reverse DNS name set, reach out to our support desk and let them know.
