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?

NZNOG 09 - Call for Participation and Papers
by Neil Fenemor 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

NZNOG 09 - Call for Participation and Papers The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Auckland, New Zealand between 26 January and 30 January 2009. Our host is FX Networks. NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand. The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from New Zealand Internet orientated companies. Conference Overview ------------------- NZNOG 2009 will consist of up to three days of workshops and tutorials followed by two days of conference presentations. There will also be opportunity for more informal and small lightening talks. These are typically around five minutes long and are organised closer to the actual conference. Important Dates --------------- Call for Papers opens: 1 September 2008 Deadline for speaker submissions: 30 September 2008 Responses to speaker submissions: 7 November 2008 Draft program published: 7 November 2008 Final program published: 1 December 2008 NZNOG 2009 Conference: 26 - 30 January 2009 SIG / Miniconf / Tutorials / Workshops -------------------------------------- In previous years we have had a single day of workshops and tutorials, this year however we are looking at having up to three days of workshops and tutorials, if we can get the submissions. Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'. Conference Presentations ------------------------ The main conference program for 2009 will be made up of two days with a single stream where possible. Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length. NZNOG conferences have traditionally spanned the entire operational spectrum, and then some. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for virtually any topic with a degree of relevance to the NZNOG community. Past years' talks have included the following: - Internet exchange operations - Global anycast networks and the building thereof - Peering, peering, and peering - Network security - 10GB ethernet operations - Advanced networks in NZ - Current Internet research in NZ - Wireless networking - QOS over carrier networks - Content distribution networks and media streaming - How we paid the construction guys 18 pints of beer and they gave us a free metro fibre network in Palmy North - Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments - Lawful Interception Some ideas for this year also include the following: - IPv6, been there done that. - DNS Security - Routing Security - LLU? Does anyone care? - P2P content delivery - Review of 2008 - IPSec If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions at then end of this document and submit them to http://submission.nznog.org Alternatively, you can and email them to talks(a)nznog.org Submission Guidelines --------------------- When considering a presentation or SIG, remember that the NZNOG audience is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in the SIGs and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators in the conference sessions. The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals is not compulsory but each will help us determine the quality of your proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted. Final slides are to be provided by 16 January 2009. Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 30 September 2008, a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance. The NZNOG conference is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial content is NOT allowed within the program. The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard of NZNOG conferences, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The audience is extremely technical and unforgiving, and expects that the speakers are themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions, so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver insightful and technically deep responses. Funding and Support ------------------- NZNOG conferences are community run and funded events that try to keep the cost to attendees as low as possible so generally we are unable to pay the travel costs of speakers. There is a limited amount of funding available to international speakers. Conference presenters will not have to pay any registration fee for the day they are presenting. Discounts for SIG and lightning talk presenters may be available but are not automatic. Lightning talks --------------- Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than 10 minutes. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a full talk. At NZNOG 2009 it is planned that there will be at least one hour long lightning talk session. Sponsors -------- There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various aspects of the NZNOG meeting. Please contact sponsorship(a)n<http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog> znog.org for more information Contact ------- General Enquiries * info(a)n <http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog>znog.org Talks and Papers * http://submission.nznog.org * talks(a)nznog.org Talk Proposals -------------- Please submit all talk proposals (including lightning talks) via http://submission.nznog.org or email talks(a)nznog.org along with the requested information. Questions regarding talks can be sent to the same address. Sponsorship may be available for a limited number of overseas speakers to attend the conference, please indicate if you require assistance with travel and/or accommodation. Author's Full Name: Author's Email Address: Author's affiliation: Author's short biography: Title of Talk: Abstract: Length of talk: Please provide details if a version of this talk has previously been given: Will travel and accommodation assistance be required:

IPv6 Transit, POPs and all that ...
by James Spenceley 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hello NZNog, We (Vocus) are just in the final stages of getting approval to build our Vocus POP into Auckland. One of the questions asked by our board was if there was interest in a native IPv6 service delivered at Sky Tower. Would anyone who would likely be interested in a $500/month few mbps of native IPv6 type product contact me to express such interest :-) Of course anyone interested in IPv4 transit contact also feel free to email, that itself would clinch the business case :-) Cheers, -- James

IPv6 Penetration Survey final reminder
by Elly Tawhai 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi NZNOG Community, ________________________________________________________________________ IPv6 Penetration Survey final reminder ________________________________________________________________________ Almost seven hundred organizations have responded thus far to the IPv6 Penetration Survey. Sponsored by ARIN, in cooperation with the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA), this survey is gathering data regarding current and future use of IPv6 around the world. We cordially invite and encourage all organizations in the AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and RIPE NCC regions to participate in the survey so we can establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey opened on 8 September and remains available until 17:00 EDT on 1 October 2008. The results of the survey will be presented and discussed at the ARIN XXII Public Policy and Members Meeting to be held in Los Angeles, CA 15-17 October 2008. Additionally, the summary results will be shared with all the RIRs for further distribution within their respective regions. The survey data will support ongoing research. The survey is composed of 22 questions that can be answered in a few minutes. This is a secure survey, and all data will be presented in summary form only and kept confidential between ARIN and CAIDA. When you complete the survey, you will be entered in a drawing for prizes: one raffle per RIR region. You must provide your contact information to win. Please take a few moments to complete the survey located at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=loMM8qu18yFoKyi0rTUpQg_3d_3d We encourage all organizations in the APNIC region to participate. If you don't have IPv6 resources at the moment we would like to know why and you will only need to answer a few questions to tell us so. Questions regarding the survey should be directed to info(a)arin.net. Kind regards, Elly ________________________________________________________________________ Elly Tawhai email: hostmaster(a)apnic.net Senior Internet Resource Analyst, APNIC sip: hostmaster(a)voip.apnic.net http://www.apnic.net/helpdesk phone: +61 7 3858 3188 fax: +61 7 3858 3199 ________________________________________________________________________

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.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '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:AS45177 descr: Route set advertised to AS9560 by Vibe Communications - AS45177 members: 120.136.0.0/21^21-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: status(a)vibecommunications.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20080821 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS45177 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Vibe Communications - AS45177 members: 120.136.0.0/21^21-29, 202.37.194.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: sam(a)vibecommunications.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20080930 source: NZRR ------------------------------------------------------------

CISCO Advise sought.
by Chris Hodgetts 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hello, We are having some issues with our very basic Cisco configuration, that we cant seem to track down. (Random disconnections to only one host) I am not sure if this is the right forum, so if you believe it's not please stop reading. If you notice something obviously wrong with the config snippet at the bottom, please advise, and a beer is on offer. If you need more information than what was is provided below, and you would be keen to give up some of your valuable time for beer, please contact me off list. If you are still reading then you clearly do think this might be an appropriate place for questions of this nature, here goes the config snippet. All comments off list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently we have the following: ip nat pool ST_NAT_POOL 192.168.202.74 192.168.202.74 prefix-length 24 ip nat inside source route-map ST_NAT_MAP pool ST_NAT_POOL overload access-list 164 remark Some Telco (NAT) access-list 164 permit ip 192.168.254.0 0.0.0.255 1.2.3.0 0.0.0.255 access-list 164 permit ip 123.12.123.0 0.0.0.224 1.2.3.0 0.0.0.255 route-map ST_NAT_MAP permit 100 match ip address 164 We do some NAT on packets heading to some telco that go out our default route, and our ISP does some magic.. more info if needed. We had the following line in and the problem was still there however Cisco said it was bad, so we removed it and replaced it with the above explicit hosts, but the problem still appears. access-list 164 permit ip any 1.2.3.0 0.0.255 Basically we get random disconnections, but only to this Some Telco we have other connections to other telco's that are OK, these are natted, but are talking direct to a public IP, or are VPN'ed. This configuration is on a replacement Cisco, the old Cisco, with a very similar config, works fine, but has other issues which is why we need to replace it. Thanks and any comments please off list.
