ISSUE TYPE

Bug Report

VERSION

all (between 5.7.0 and 6.3.0)

CONFIGURATION

relevant:

IDENTITY_BIGLOGO="//www.ixpmanager.org/images/logos/ixp-manager.png"
SUMMARY

The IXP Manager (biglogo) on the login page does not load. By default, it's loaded from https://www.ixpmanager.org/images/logos/ixp-manager.png. This points to:

www.ixpmanager.org has IPv6 address 2001:7f8:18:2::183

The address is inside the INEX peering LAN and therefore not routed on the internet, so the server can't be reached.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Open any IXP Manager login page that uses the default logo.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The beautiful IXP Manager logo :)

ACTUAL RESULTS

Connection timeout.

IMPORTANCE

We just replaced the logo, but fixing the AAAA record for the default URL would still be worth it :)

RELEVANT LOGS

N/A

Thanks for all your work on the IXP Manager!

Hi @9er

This looks like a local issue to you or a more generic v6 routing issue - checked from multiple v6 sources via:

$ wget -6 -O /dev/null https://www.ixpmanager.org/images/logos/ixp-manager.png

The address is inside the INEX peering LAN and therefore not routed on the internet, so the server can't be reached.

No, this address isn't a peering address, it's a routed network.

I'm going to close this as it's not an IXP Manager issue but we'll note it to INEX Ops team and have them check deeper re external routing.
