Peering exchange in the Wairarapa?
by Blair Harrison 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi Guys, I'm just wondering if there is any interest at all in having a peering exchange of some kind in the Wairarapa. I know I've been thinking about such a beast for a while, but at the moment there's only a couple of ISP-like entities (that I know of) who might possibly be interested. WISE Net would be happy to house such a beast if it could be shown that there was sufficient interest, although I'm not sure we're exactly what you might call neutral territory :) So really what I'm asking is, is there anyone else out there? Do you want to peer with us? With others? Have you got a network you want to connect to others with in the Wairarapa at a central place? Raise your hands now, or forever shall your cat5 be under-utilised :) Cheers, Blair Harrison Systems Administrator WISE Net | http://wise.net.nz

I-Root Server avaiable at the WIX
by Andy Linton 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

There is now an instance of an anycast I-Root name server attached to the WIX. Those peering with the WIX route servers should be seeing an announcment for 192.36.148.0/24. From Wellington I'm seeing RTTs like this: $ ping 192.36.148.17 PING 192.36.148.17 (192.36.148.17) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=3.90 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=1.12 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=1.73 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=4 ttl=252 time=2.07 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=5 ttl=252 time=1.18 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=6 ttl=252 time=1.62 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=7 ttl=252 time=1.80 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=8 ttl=252 time=1.92 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=9 ttl=252 time=1.43 ms --- 192.36.148.17 ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 9 received, 0% packet loss, time 8080ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.125/1.867/3.905/0.782 ms and from a host in Auckland which doesn't see the announcement I see: $ ping 192.36.148.17 PING 192.36.148.17 (192.36.148.17): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=257.7 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=255.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=255.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=256.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=256.2 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=5 ttl=55 time=257.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=6 ttl=55 time=259.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=7 ttl=55 time=256.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=8 ttl=55 time=257.2 ms --- 192.36.148.17 ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 9 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 255.9/257.0/259.5 ms Thanks to InternetNZ who funded this and to Packet Clearing House and Autonomica for making it happen.

RE: [nznog] I-Root Server avaiable at the WIX
by Matt Mariu 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I sort of came along late in the 'news' game when the Major Telco's decided to de-peer.. To that effect, Does anyone out there have a solid explanation from them as to why they chose to do what they Did ? Joe, You used to work @ Clear.. Surely you have inside knowledge :) Sorry if this is old news, if theres a link, post it please. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Davidson [mailto:keith(a)wise.net.nz] Sent: Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:19 To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] I-Root Server avaiable at the WIX Hmmm, so the aberrant nature of peering in NZ rears its ugly head... Seems strange that the telcos would prefer to route offshore at a financial and a performance cost, rather than peer in NZ and give their users faster speeds and cost reductions... Keith Davidson

>But it still says on Paradises website: > >Citylink Traffic is calculated in the same way as JetStart Traffic, with the >exception of traffic delivered through the Wellington Internet Exchange >(WIX), which is completely free! And there's nothing inaccurate about that is there? They just don't send any more traffic over WIX - but if they did - it would be free. :-) Anyway, good to see they aren't letting elegant solutions get in the way of MORE MONEY!!! Cheers - N.

IPV6, Cisco
by Philip D'Ath 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

After much torment this weekend I have managed to get IPv6 running nicely on a low end Cisco DSL router (Cisco 837). If anyone wants an IPv6 connection at home (and a /48 block of real world IPv6 address space) to experiment with, say yourself some grief and start with this. http://www.ifm.net.nz/cookbooks/ipv6configwizard.html Now if we can just get a critical mass of users we might be able to tempt an ISP to offer native connections ... and actually use Joe's IPv6 F root server.
