TVNZ On Demand
by Barry Murphy 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hey guys, wondering if anyone from TVNZ On Demand is on this list and wouldn't mind contacting me offlist regarding problems streaming if a user has an IPv6 address. The helpdesk doesn't appear to know what ipv6 is so thought I'd try an alternative. Many thanks Barry

3G in the South
by Bevan McNaughton 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Down here it seems that Vodafone is the fastest and ha good reliability (little overloading and good consistency), however doesn't have the best coverage. Telecom XT has better coverage but speed and reliability isn't as good. Vodafone may be your best bet. It deems to be consistent enough throughout Qtown, Dunedin & Invercargill (am doing work from those centres with Vodafone on and off often). Regards, -- Bevan McNaughton SouthLoop Invercargill

DNS format error: their fault or mine?
by Richard Hector 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Sorry if this is off topic. I'm seeing a bunch of this (and have been for ages) in my bind logs: http://pastebin.com/ydL0RhG4 (sample line for archives, when paste goes away: Nov 28 23:14:58 jet named[28427]: DNS format error from 120.204.202.200#53 resolving ns-os1.qq.com/AAAA: invalid response ) My understanding is qq.com is a Chinese IM service (which my flatmate uses).

by Ian Batterbee 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

Hi all, I posted on this list in August, and do appreciate the replies I got then, however being still without a job, I'm forced to ask again if anyone knows of any senior network or sysadmin roles in Auckland (preferably CBD area). I have a number years of experience with Cisco kit, Linux scripting/automation/sysadmin, in both education (13 years) and ISP (5 years) environments. Please contact me off list if you know of anything. Thanks

youth outreach?
by Sean Linton 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Recently Vikram Kumar Chief Executive at InternetNZ highlighted some of the youth outreach initiatives that InternetNZ is involved with. For example work with NetSafe, the 2020 Communications trust, and ICT-Connect. I think its timely activity. I have a question to anyone who is interested. How has the NZNOG community previously ensured that when a few key people decide to do something else the organisation doesn't get into trouble, so new blood keeps coming through? - Sean

Just a small advisory. I bought 1.5km of fiber for NetHui this week and it was stolen from the supplier (Corys/Mastertrade) before I got there to collect it. Its 12 core D-series, single mode LSZH cable cut as 2x750m. The CCTV footage shows it stolen from the loading bay. So if you get offered some cheap fiber, I'm sure Corys would be very pleased to hear from you. Replacement fiber arrived friday pm in one length.

Speaking of Wet Fibre to Sydney...
by Jed Laundry 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Greetings, I've just noticed that there's a new AWS region available today: Asia Pacific (Sydney). I would imagine we're going to start to see a trickle of commercial offerings shortly, followed by a rapid increase of data. Before I start probing an instance to find out where/who's connected, does anyone have inside clue about how well connected NZ networks are to this new region? Probing commences after beer. Jed.

Hey guys, Guess while we're on the topic of international pipes, I've made a new capture map for http://www.ispmap.co.nz It's noticeable that Pacnet is nearly finished with NZ with only 1 ISP still using them... I guess this will soon go away when the contract expires. Here are the stats comparing to beginning of 05 July 2012 Telstra +2 Telecom -1 Pacnet -4 Vocus +1 Odyssey -1 As per usual, if anything needs updating email me offlist. Cheers Barry Murphy

Andy Linton is now an OpenFlow expert
by Josh Bailey 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

It took 2h. About 30m to make an OpenFlow controller PC out of bunch of trash, and boot my controller DVD. "ed" wasn't available on my controlled DVD so I made Andy use nano to configure it. That slowed us down quite a bit. 90m to put OpenFlow firmware on a 3780 switch, including walking up and down the hill to VUW get 1G SFPs. So if you have any questions about whether OpenFlow/SDN works/forwards packets in hardware - ask Andy. He knows. And has a live CD controller.
