Notification of NZRR Database changes

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the APE and/or WIX route servers so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers, you will maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of APE and/or WIX routes.

Well, I've never met Bruce, and I do read Aardvark most days, but I think it would be good to get someone that really _knows_ what the impact of reducing the line speed on latency will be. We have a few dslams here for testing but they're been used for real work right now. Anyone _know_ what the effect will be?

ADSL Rate Limiting on the line.
by Craig Spiers 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi guys, Reading todays article on http://www.aardvark.co.nz/ he raves on about 'increased latency' Would I be right in saying the latency would only increase on lower speed jetstream plans - as it takes longer for the packets to pass over a smaller pipe. Why is he talking about it increasing latency on full rate jetstream plans? Cheers

The question will be "Free" for how much longer? I have heard rumors that Citylink may have some new tricks up their sleeve (free to comment, open for blasting) to try and maintain free peering exchanges but it will ultimately come down to all the "other" isp's ensuring that they continue to peer at the exchanges. (note: MCI/Voyager just completing their own peering hub and peering arrangements are now being "reviewed") TCNZ are reviewing. TCL have already made their intentions clear.
