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

please keep an eye out

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. After a lot of winding and splicing, the van is all loaded ready to roll tomorrow. I was suspicious that the folks mad keen on cable laying through the roaring 40's to South America, had nicked it as a part of their project. Richard

Speaking of Wet Fibre to Sydney...
by Jed Laundry 13 Nov '12

13 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.

ISPMap topology update
by Barry Murphy 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

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

Spotted this earlier: http://blog.cloudflare.com/deep-inside-a-dns-amplification-ddos-attack "NZ Attack Sources: 167 AU Attack Sources: 1237" Are the local open resolvers seen as a problem?
