Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

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 various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) 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 at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: aut-num: AS17663 as-name: NZRR-AS17663 descr: Housing New Zealand Corporation descr: WIX peering at '202.7.0.149' descr: see Citylink RT job #8222 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR import: from AS9439 accept ANY AND NOT fltr-bogons export: to AS9439 announce AS17663 notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: ns(a)hnzc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070208 source: NZRR --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS17663 descr: Route set advertised to AS9439 by Housing New Zealand Corporation - AS17663 members: 192.173.17.0/24^24-29, 202.37.197.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: ns(a)hnzc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070208 source: NZRR

A new policy proposal "IPv4 countdown policy proposal" - APNIC 23
by Miwa Fujii 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi All, Thanks for the NZNOG 2007 committee's efforts to make successful NZNOG 2007. Thanks also for NZNOG community pple's warm hospitality to us. I very much enjoyed technical presentations, the panel discussion and both formal/informal social events. As we discussed in the panel discussion "Where to spend the money, IPv6, or somewhere else?", there were quite a few dimensions to discuss this topic. As NZNOG is a technical community, naturally, the discussion was drawn into technical details of IPv6. However, we briefly discussed about the relationship between IPv4 address exhaustion and IPv6. There is a policy proposal for the upcoming APNIC 23 in Bali, titled "IPv4 countdown policy proposal" http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-046-v001.html I think having a wider community's input to this proposal would be good. If you have any comment, please feel free to post it to the APNIC sig-policy mailing list. You can subscribe the mailing list from: http://www.apnic.net/community/lists/index.html Looking forward to hearing your view. miwa

Thursday night curry in Hamilton?
by Ian McDonald 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Jayne and I have thought about this and decided that it's really time Hamilton got their act together on this one. Various people/groups have talked about this but no-one has done this yet (that I'm aware of) and we'd like to see this kick off. Since many of you from Hamilton probably met each other at NZNOG (shame I couldn't make it) I thought it'd be a good time to mention it while you still remember each other. If you're interested please email me off list. Also can whoever looks after the domain/server (Jamie Baddeley?) contact me to see how we can put Hamilton on. NB I'm not going to make token reference to beer as think networking (in the social sense) is quite a relevant topic. And more than token amount of beer might get consumed anyway!

elevated icmp last couple of days?
by Anton Smith 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed elevated ICMP levels. I'm seeing a lot of what looks like ICMP from infected machines, both coming into our network and leaving it. Always with the same sequence number and going to and from many different machines: e.g. 13:41:45.682360 IP 196.211.95.177 > 202.65.160.195: icmp 72: echo request seq 20041 13:41:45.682395 IP 196.211.95.177 > 202.65.160.195: icmp 72: echo request seq 20041 13:41:45.684098 IP 196.211.95.177 > 202.65.160.195: icmp 72: echo request seq 20041 13:41:45.684185 IP 196.211.95.177 > 202.65.160.195: icmp 72: echo request seq 20041 and 13:45:23.759952 IP 203.110.28.211 > 24.149.23.167: icmp 41: echo request seq 39506 13:45:23.764000 IP 203.110.28.211 > 24.149.63.81: icmp 41: echo request seq 39762 13:45:23.764046 IP 203.110.28.211 > 24.149.20.160: icmp 41: echo request seq 40018 13:45:23.764426 IP 203.110.28.211 > 24.149.134.141: icmp 41: echo request seq 40274 13:45:23.766189 IP 203.110.28.211 > 24.149.81.135: icmp 41: echo request seq 40530 Seems to be the same sequence number for the same destination host. There are hundreds/thousands of these every second and seems to be ongoing. Just wondering if it is just us. Regards, Anton

Could the mail admin for blakjak.net contact me off list?
by Juha Saarinen 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<@nzoss.org.nz>: host mx.blakjak.net [202.50.176.75]: 554 Service unavailable; Client host [NZ IP address] blocked using rbl.blakjak.net; Mail from China and Korea is not welcome here due to high SPAM volumes. Visit rbl.blakjak.net for information. It seems the Blakjak RBL needs tweaking if the NZOSS is to accept email from certain parts of the NZ Intarweb. Thanks. -- Juha Saarinen www.geekzone.co.nz/juha | Skype: juha_saarinen blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/techsploder www.computerworld.co.nz | MSN: juha_saarinen(a)msn.com Voice: +64 9 950 3023 Subtle recursive jokes in .sigs are not funny.
