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

NZIX OpenFlow adventures phase 2
by Dean Pemberton 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi Everyone, So the OpenFlow router has been up for a wee white now so it seemed about time to let you all poke at it. Phase 2 of the project is to: Deploy an OF switch on an exchange point which can function as a route server. This switch should be able to BGP peer with any peers which currently use the exchange and allow for the exchange of IPv4 prefixes as required. I've used the information on the WIX Peer list webpage (http://wix.nzix.net/peers.html) to pre-configure passive[1] BGP peering sessions for all existing WIX participants. So feel free to use your existing WIX IP addresses and AS numbers to connect to IP: 202.7.0.119 Aut-num: 9483 Things to look for: 1) It should pass you the routes that it learns from the route servers with the Flatnet AS in the path but with the original next hops. This longer path should mean that you won't explicitly prefer the routes from me. Bit of safety there. 2) It will pass you any other routes that people pass me directly. As I mentioned before we've got a few more plans. The next phase will start to take us a bit beyond what the current exchanges offer. In the new year we are going to deploy a similar switch at the APE. This hardware will become part of the single SDN controlled switch that we currently have in Wellington. When you peer with the OpenFlow switch at the WIX you'll get APE prefixes as well. Peer at the APE, you'll get WIX prefixes. Once we can get some traffic on the fabric and a presence at multiple places then we can really start to innovate. . BGP prefix communities based on the millisecond difference between your peering port and the prefix next hop . BGP aware RPF on the exchange (solves the pointing default problem) Got any other ideas. Throw them in the mix and we'll see what we can do. Have a Merry Christmas everyone. Regards, Dean [1] Passive means that I'll never reach out and initiate a session with you. You need to initiate the session with me. Just safer incase people think that I'm TCP Port 179 hax0r-ing them.

connection issues to ftp.nz.debian.org
by Hugh Davenport 27 Dec '12

Hey, On two of my servers running with different ISP's I've noticed connection issues in the last few days to ftp.nz.debian.org. I can ping it, but can't connect via HTTP or FTP. This is both on my flat server (Snap) and my parents server (Slingshot). When I try from work, which is connected to the WIX, it works fine. hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ ping -c 1 ftp.nz.debian.org PING ftp.citylink.co.nz (202.7.6.9) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ftp.citylink.co.nz (202.7.6.9): icmp_req=1 ttl=60 time=13.7 ms --- ftp.citylink.co.nz ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 13.792/13.792/13.792/0.000 ms hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ telnet ftp.nz.debian.org 80 Trying 202.7.6.9... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ telnet ftp.nz.debian.org 21 Trying 202.7.6.9... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ On an interesting note, I tried using debian.ihug.co.nz/debian which is listed as a secondary server on http://www.debian.org/mirror/list.

TV3 Ondemand Contact
by Ray | Taylor Communications 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Would there be any list members inside Media works by any chance, or would someone have a contact who I can speak to? I seem to be having an issue with TV3 ondemand on our network - the preroll plays but the programme itself does not. Anyone that replies when I click "report issue" doesn't seem to be of any help. We have our own ip assignments from apnic. Maxmind and other such geolocation databases are indeed showing Napier as the location though this took 3 months when we got them a year ago. I was thinking it could possibly be an issue inside our main router with the RTMP protocol but I have proved it isnt. - When I go to http://nzcontent.mediaworks.co.nz I can play the http demo stream, but not the rtmp stream - When I go to http://www.etvlive.gov.et/ I can play both the http and the rtmp stream. This is just some overseas organisation who has a web facing adobe media server similar to tv3's So next I thought there could possibly be a firewall or protocol block of some sort - I can telnet into nzcontent.mediaworks.co.nz on port 1935 without an issue. Its been bugging me since we changed over to our own block of ip addresses with the occasional subscriber complaint about the tv3 service. So anyone you can refer me to inside TV3/mediaworks that can help (beyond the tier1 helpdesk monkeys) would be much appreciated.

My Experiences with 3G (aka 2Degrees are pathetic)
by Skeeve Stevens 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hey all, So I arrive in Queenstown, go to Dick Smith, and pick up 2 TelecomXT Sims and a 2Degrees Sim. Also bought $270 worth of recharge vouchers. Telecom XT wasn't too much of a problem... ring up a number and recharge the sims.... worked fine. 2Degres. Useless bloody idiots who if I had the time I would lodge a complaint with whatever authority there was in NZ for doing do. So, got their Nano Sim, put it in the iPad Mini... and nothing. Says it sees the 2Degrees towers... but nothing. Won't activate. Call them, they say I need to put it in a phone with Nano slot (iPhone5) to activate... I didn't bother bringing the 5 because I had the Mini. Called last night, they took details, said to call back in the morning. I called this morning, waited an hour for these idiots to figure out why I or they couldn't activate it... and even got the comment when I said that if they are selling these for iPad Mini's and there is no way to activated they said 'Seems a bit stupid doesnt it'. They said someone would call me back... they didnt. I called back tonight, chick read through all the notes... says she couldn't do anything and the escalation meant I would receive a call back by the 21st of December. WTF?! These people are totally useless. Now the chick is telling me that Dick Smith 'should have' known.... really? Dick Smith said they have no idea and get no training whatsoever from 2Degrees, or any of the sims they sell. So my two Telecom XT work fine, but still needed a call to activate then... but 2Degrees is the biggest joke ever. They have no details, instructions or ANYTHING at all about activating sims on iPad's or iPad Mini's. They had the nerve to say I should go back to Dick Smith and get them to activate it... but didn't want to pay the $60 in taxi fare. If anyone knows anyone up there, feel free to forward them my email to them. This is the worst customer experience ever and I will be telling everyone I know not to use them. *frustrated* * * *Skeeve Stevens, CEO - *eintellego Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellego.net ; www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco – IBM - Brocade - Cloud ----- Check out our Juniper promotion website! eintellego.mx Free Apple products during this promotion!!!

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

"Pathetic" is a good description of the major carriers. Telecom do a 4GByte plan and in December seem to do a 2 for 1 deal. We get 8GB per stick from them Vodafone seem to think 4Gbyte is awesome. We carry a "reverse cell-site" that has sicks on both carriers. It uses external aerials to get that little bit extra. I used it in Wanaka in Jan just before NZNOG and Telecom wasn't too bad. Vodafone looked like it had good download, but it was only in short burst stuff. Sustained thru put was mediocre. We used satellite for the job. The 3G rig was just for us at the motel FYI - identical USB sticks sitting side by side have different performance figures. They're really made for metro areas with "immersive" coverage and in areas with less coverage performance is a struggle. For the Wanaka job, the producer is talking about using a bonded 3G rig to replace microwave link from chopper. It will be interesting.
