NZNOG-People, I have just finished migrating all of the mailing lists held at The University of Waikato from one server to another. I don't have any reason to believe that anything's gone wrong, but please bear with me for today if it turns out that something has. - Donald Neal -- Donald Neal | Q: How many Aucklanders does it take to change Systems Programmer/Analyst | a light bulb?

Charging for IPv6
by Philip D'Ath 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Initially those transit providers and ISPs that do offer IPv6 transit will be able to charge for this service as it will be a premium value add. However I can't see this business model being able to last for more than 6 years (through to 2012), and possibly only three years. After this point in time I expect IPv6 deployment will be standard, and will no longer be a premium service offering - it will be the standard offering, like IPv4 is today. Once IPv4 has become exhausted and you can't actually give a customer an IPv4 address then you definitely wont be able to charge more for IPv6 - otherwise the customer will walk. So do providers start implementing slowly now, and recoup some of their investment while they can, or wait till they are forced to do the upgrades and are not able to recoup any of their "new" investment. Rhetorical question.

The Choice: IPv4 Exhaustion or Transition to IPv6
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi all, I've published a document trying to analyze the IPv4 exhaustion problem and what is ahead of us, considering among others, changes in policies. http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=news/newsroom&id=3004 I guess this could be useful in order to understand possible implications of modifying existing policies, or setting up new ones, or even just to create some debate about those changes. The document was completed last April, but didn't had the time to tidy up until a few days ago.

SixXS tunnel broker pop in .nz
by Lincoln Reid 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi, Thanks to the post forwarded onto the list by Andy Linton I have been inspired to get in touch with the SixXS guys and arange a local SixXS pop within New Zealand. The nzwlg01 pop runs within the ACSData network ( still known in places as LinuxNet or ACSOnline ). We run our ipv6 network on the same routers, switches and circuits as our IPv4 network, we v6 peer at WIX and APE and use the same international transit provider as for our ipv4 network. It would be great if some people would sign up and make some use of it, if there are any network issues ( or you want a peering session etc. ) feel free to get in touch directly with me or noc(a)acsdata.co.nz. http://www.sixxs.net/signup/ Cheers, -- Lincoln Reid Systems Engineer ACSData - AS18119 lincoln(a)acsdata.co.nz Phone: +64 4 939 2200 Fax: +64 4 939 2201

116.0.0.0/8 allocations
by Gerard Creamer 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi all, Through our own stupidity we were inadvertently blocking a recent allocation from APNIC and thought I'd mention it here. We had a bogon list with 112.0.0.0/5 in it and misread it as /8 several times before growing a brain and sorting it out. Just thought I'd mention it so folks can recheck their bogon lists to ensure that the following aren't being stopped by a larger aggregation. 116/8 APNIC 117/8 APNIC 118/8 APNIC 119/8 APNIC 120/8 APNIC Cheers, Gerard -- Netspace Services Limited http://www.netspace.net.nz Phone +64 4 917 8098 Mobile +64 21 246 2266 Level One, 220 Thorndon Quay, Thorndon PO Box 12-082, Thorndon, Wellington 6004, New Zealand

6to4 and Teredo relays deployment
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Some weeks ago I started to work in documenting how to setup 6to4 and Teredo relays/servers in several platforms for the afripv6-discuss mailing list. There are many 6to4 relays already, but it becomes even more important to have them where the bandwidth is more expensive, because it avoids traffic going thru upstream links. The first message on this is here: https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2007/000061.html More information about 6to4 also available at: http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=using/connectivity/6to4 Similarly for Teredo: https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2007/000080.html And more info about Teredo at: http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=using/connectivity/teredo Regards, Jordi ********************************************** The IPv6 Portal: http://www.ipv6tf.org Bye 6Bone.

Broadband Measurement in NZ - Analysis Skills Required
by Michael Cranna 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hi All As you may have read in the papers in the last few days or so, Epitiro has launched a service in NZ which measures the broadband performance of NZ's 5 largest DSL ISPs in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch ie Xtra, TCL, Callplus, ihug and Orcon. Our methodology is quite comprehensive; we connect up to the premium service of each ISP and then run tests every 15 minutes, to measure, among other things, connection speed, time to connect, DNS response times, cached and un-cached http traffic performance, ping times etc etc. The data provides an interesting look at the performance of the ISPs' service; from DSLAM to peering exchange and beyond. All major ISPs in the UK use our service. What we are keen to do - once we have about a month or so of data - is to conduct analysis on this data, to help us understand what the various combinations of variable fluctuations mean in the NZ context. While we have a lot of experience in the UK, the NZ network topography is very different, so we are looking for some local expertise to help us. Anyone interested? For the few months or so it's probably going to be more love than money, although I am hoping to create a position in the near future, or at least have some budget to pay for casual contracting. This is a unique opportunity to see data of this nature in NZ for the first time. However, the potentially controversial nature of the data means any involvement in this project will have to be strictly governed by confidentiality agreements, threats of immolation etc. If you're interested, drop me an email, and we could either catch up for a coffee if you are in Auckland, or have a chat on the phone if you are elsewhere. If you want more information about us, check out the URL below.
