Hi all,
NAU is currently fighting repeated blocks from Sony on our residence hall n=
etwork IP addresses. There are a number of PAT'd devices behind these IPs, =
and Sony has so far only provided us with timestamps (no port information f=
or us to do a PAT lookup). Each time, we get a notification to our abuse@na=
u.edu inbox, and when we ask them to remove the block they have done so (so=
far). Sony claims they are seeing "account hacking" activity coming from t=
he blocked IPs, but we're starting to believe it may just be a large number=
of devices behind a few IPs.
This is the first semester we've seen this issue, but it's getting frustrat=
ing as students are unable to use their PlayStations on ResNet when the blo=
cks are in place. Has anyone else had this experience? Any tips or tricks i=
n identifying the issue or working with Sony to raise the "allowed traffic"=
from NAT/PAT Pools?
Thanks in advance!
Bryan
