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?

I control my outbound and inbound routing. People only send packets via routes I advertise and I can show a contractual relationship between me and my upstream or peer, my upstream and theirs or their peer and then to the far end etc. With using 6to4 the downside is that whilst I may have my own gateway, the FAR end could be using a 3rd party 6to4 gateway. This means that the return packets traverse links for which I have no contractual relationship. I guess in some way I'm agreeing with Joe that everyone SHOULD run their own, especially if they offer up content over IPv6. (I wonder if Google do with ipv6.google.com?).

Vocus to build Aus-NZ Exchange
by Simon Lyall 19 May '11

19 May '11

via Ausnog: "Wholesale internet transit provider Vocus will create an internet peering exchange to greatly cut latency between Sydney and Auckland. The PacificIX exchange would go live "by the end of the year", Vocus (ASX: VOC) chief executive officer James Spenceley (pictured) told iTnews today. It would run out of the Equinix and Global Switch data centres in Sydney and from the Auckland Sky Tower and a "second [undisclosed] node" elsewhere in the NZ city." http://www.itnews.com.au/News/232330,vocus-to-cut-sydney-auckland-latency.a… -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.

NZNOG 2011 - Call for Participation and Papers
by Neil Fenemor 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

[Apologies for duplicates...] NZNOG 2011 - Call for Participation and Papers The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Wellington, New Zealand between 26 January and 28 January 2011. Our host is Vodafone New Zealand. 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 2011 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 November 2010 Deadline for speaker submissions: 1 December 2010 Responses to speaker submissions: 7 December 2010 Draft program published: 15 December 2010 Final program published: 15 January 2011 NZNOG 2011 Conference: 26 - 29 January 2011 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 2011 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 - How to build a router in these tough and difficult economic times - Current Internet research in NZ - Wireless networking - QOS over carrier networks - Content distribution networks and media streaming - Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments - Lawful Interception - Designing networks for High Availability - ISP scenarios for IPv6 deployment - Monkeying around on the APE Some ideas for this year also include the following: - IPv6, been there done that - DNS Security - Routing Security - Review of 2010 - IPSec - Internet Filtering - How Cloud Computing has impacted Network Design 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 15 January 2011. Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 15 December 2010, 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 2011 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)nznog.org for more information Contact ------- General Enquiries * info(a)nznog.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.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

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.
