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?

6to4 on the APE
by Jasper Bryant-Greene 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

As those of you who read the NZRR database notifications (or am I the only one?) will have noticed, we've updated filters with the intent to advertise the 6to4 prefix (192.88.99.0/24) on the APE shortly. This will put the closest 6to4 server for NZers on peering ISPs in Auckland, as opposed to Chicago (the current closest in all the tests I did, anyway). I'm sure many people will be interested in the level of traffic we receive, and the nature of that traffic, so I will be doing some analysis and will post details after it's been live a while. At this stage it looks like we will be announcing the prefix some time between now and Wednesday. Cheers, -- Jasper Bryant-Greene Network Engineer, Unleash p: +64 21 129 9458 e: jasper(a)unleash.co.nz w: http://www.unleash.co.nz/

NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3.

Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. 10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to be immediately announced to the list. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/ . Any message sent to the list will be archived and made available on the web automatically.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. 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. Diagnostic output: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS38477 descr: Route set advertised to AS9560 by Unleash Connection 1 - AS38477 members: 116.90.128.0/21^21-29, 202.6.116.0/23^23-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: jasper(a)unleash.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20080428 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS38477 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Unleash - AS38477 members: 116.90.128.0/21^21-29, 202.6.116.0/23^23-29, 192.88.99.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: jasper(a)unleash.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20080901 source: NZRR ------------------------------------------------------------

Xtra and port 110
by Don Stokes 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

We just had a customer on the phone unable to connect to our POP3 server from an Xtra DSL address; pop3s (995) and SMTP submission (587) worked fine, but no port 110 packets arrived at all. A quick squiz at the logs suggest that there has been rather less port 110 activity from Telecom DSL addresses than I would expect, but I don't have a lot of data. Is something going on? -- don
