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?

Async Routing across ape to pipe return via vocus & Internode speedtest
by Barry Murphy 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hey Guys, I just saw Glen Eustace's post which reminded me of an issue we have seen of late with regards to 'my internet seems slow'. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this similar issue since PIPE joined the APE, then again it's not just PIPE, but a mixture of Oz providers accepting traffic over the APE and then returning the transit via international links such as Vocus. I have a few customers that buy dedicated international and dedicated domestic bandwidth. These customers have a stub address that resides in the Domestic VRF & another stub in the International VRF. Since PIPE came on-board we have noticed that customers trying to do a whois (whois.apnic.net) using their router that connects the stubs, that the traffic goes out thinking its Domestic, but then gets no response because it attempts to return in via the International (Transit) VRF to which has no access to stubs in the Domestic VRF. Another issue we see where 'slow' comes into play is internode have recently been added to speedtest.net as a NZ speedtest server in Auckland. While tracing to this node it does appear to go across APE, the return path is via Vocus. When a customer attempts a speed test and they see they are only able to obtain say 30mbps rather than the 100mbps they would expect from a "NZ" server they start thinking something is broken, when actually it's because the server is International and they are in a pool of bandwidth. I've tried to contact internode & so has a colleague of mine but with no luck. We've tried to pre-pend AS's to the vocus communities but again this hasnt helped at all. Just wondering if anyone else has seen issues arise since ASYNC routing between Oz & NZ, to do with either STUBs getting no internet due to VRF nature, or these 'slow' speeds being reported. thanks Barry

Cisco ISC v 6.2
by Alex White-Robinson 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hello All, Recommend not upgrading to 6.2 if you use ISC. Found that once upgraded, ISC will take out all lines of 'switchport trunk allowed vlan' except the first when deploying new services. Ex, when trying to add vlan 3000 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3, 6-8, 78-82 99-199 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1125,1129-1335,2025 becomes switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3, 6-8, 78-82 99-199,3000 Somewhat disquieting. Already rolled back to 6.1.4 as that could happily take out a core network. Regards, Alex.

Objective assessment of 'the Internet is slow' complaints
by Glen Eustace 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

In my role at Massey University, I am often asked to investigate complaints from our Help Desk of a 'the Internet is slow' nature. We are finding this increasingly difficult to do in any meaningful way. Massey is peered at WIX, PNIX and APE we have two Internet peers and have multiple paths to them and they both have multiple upstream providers. Simply ping testing for latency/connectivity doesn't really provide much of an insight, traceroute tells us where outbound packets went and which hops are 'slow' but doesn't indicate the return path. Most of our customers equate Website == Internet, so the responsiveness of a destination seems to also be an important consideration. I am assuming that most ISPs have Help Desk calls of a similar nature. How does one substantiate or refute such complaints, pro-actively identify 'slowness/congestion' ? Evidence collected by 'tools' needs to be defensible when responding to our 'customers'. Any pointers to how I can do this better would be appreciated. Glen Massey University.

I meant for a "sky tower hosted Akamai". The implication is that it is proposed to be provider independent, is that not the case? My understanding is that Akamai push some stuff, and some stuff is pulled on demand. Does that answer your question?
