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. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS9245 descr: Route set advertised to AS9560 by Compass Communications - AS9245 members: 203.152.96.0/19^19-29, 203.96.0.0/20^20-29, 203.96.32.0/20^20-29, 202.36.121.0/24^24-29, 202.36.157.0/24^24-29, 202.37.112.0/24^24-29, 202.37.234.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: dquigan(a)compass.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060810 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS9245 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Compass Communications - AS9245 members: 203.152.96.0/19^19-29, 203.96.0.0/20^20-29, 203.96.32.0/20^20-29, 117.104.176.0/21^21-29, 202.36.121.0/24^24-29, 202.36.157.0/24^24-29, 202.37.112.0/24^24-29, 202.37.234.0/24^24-29, 203.171.4.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: davey.goode(a)compass.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070813 source: NZRR

Can you help me

Operators, I've been asked by our friends at TVNZ to assist with a minor issue. For various reasons some folks at TVC would appreciate it if you could flush the information you have in your recursive/caching nameservers for the zone images.tvnz.co.nz That would help clear up some TTL badness. cheers jamie

Sysadmin Miniconf at NZNOG 08
by Simon Lyall 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

A reminder that we are looking for talks for the Sysadmin Miniconf at NZNOG 2008 in January ( see http://nznog.miniconf.org/ ) . Last year we had quite a good turnout and talks presented ( http://nznog.miniconf.org/2007.html ) We are really keen to get a good programme for 2008. As such we would be very interested in suggestions both from potential speakers and also from people who might want to hear about particular topics or technologies . On thing we are doing this year is encouraging people to give a talk about their site, what technologies, hardware, software, methods, policies they may use etc. The idea is to give others an idea about what other people use in the "real world" . It could be wide ranging or just about one thing like how you handle logs or documentation. We'd really like to encourage people to give these sort of talks. Anyway if you have an idea either for yourself or someone else (or suggestions on who we could approach) then please send an email to the team at talks08 @ nznog.miniconf.org Full details on the website: http://nznog.miniconf.org/ -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.

global-gateway.net.nz and possible MTU problems
by Scott Howard 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

We've got a client in Thailand who is having having trouble with traffic from a number of sites - all of which go through global-gateway.net.nz. Based on the symptoms I'm guessing it may be an MTU issue (along with the other end blocking ICMP) - anyone seen this with global-gateway.net.nz before? If anyone here is responsible for that network I'd appreciate it if you could contact me off-list. Thanks, Scott.

29 Peering Points
by Philip D'Ath 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Just thinking about all these Telecom peering points. Assuming that Telecom allocate IP addresses as they are requested by incoming broadband connections, as opposed to by geographic peering point, then there will be no way to summarise addresses at these peering points. So this will imply that those ISP which do peer at these points will have to listen to a good 100k odd /32 announcements (at the larger peering points). I could easily see the routing table having to contain 200k to 300k additional /32 routes if you want to allow least cost routing to work its best. If there are redundant paths then this could increase a lot more. Then consider the case when a /32 appears to be from Dunedin, and then the next second it appears to be from Wellington (because the Dunedin broadband user lost their session, and a new Wellington use just acquired their dynamic IP address). Then consider all the places these routes could be redistributed to within different ISPs, and potentially outside of their own AS. Then consider [non telecom] peering points that only accept a /24 or bigger. Not that anything is wrong with asymmetric routing, but doing it almost to the customer edge is going to make solving connectivity issues much more difficult (I can access this web site, but not that web site ...). I can see a lot of potential for route flapping, and for frequent routing updates to occur. I can also see the potential for short term route loops occurring. I see route stability issues arising in NZ's future, or have I missed something?
