Do you feel like a second class Internet citizen?
by Dean Pemberton 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi all, apologies for cross-posting. With the recent launch of FYX and their "Global Mode" it's made me think about a number of points. I'd like to get your view on them, there are questions at the end so lets get started. Now I know that not all marketing is to be believed, but lets have a look at some of the recent statements made by FYX: "We need to say very specifically that we are providing a service that gives much greater access to the internet." http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=138&topicid=101761&page_no=1#6… "We have enabled a technology we like to call "Global Mode" which creates freedom for New Zealand internet users that doesn't exist elsewhere." "So we decided to FYX the internet by removing some of the barriers that were getting in the way of great choice." "... we just do our hardest to give you the access and freedom that you deserve. Ultimately, we are about access and openness for Kiwi's." http://www.fyx.co.nz/what-is-fyx.html So with my InternetNZ IP technical policy hat on, it got me thinking... Are people using a "New Zealand IP Address"[1] to access the internet having their freedom impacted by not being treated the same as someone using a "US IP Address"[2] ? Has Internet Citizenship got anything to do with where you are physically located any more? Or does it purely come down to where a content provider believes your IP address is originating from? If that's the case then there will be times when having an IP address from a certain country is an advantage, as well as a liability. Just like different passports really. FYX would have us believe that they are providing their users greater access to the Internet and allowing Kiwi's [sic] to enjoy the freedom of a better internet experience. So here are my questions for people. 1) Is this claimed lack of freedom something real? Do New Zealanders feel that they are being somehow restricted by having their internet traffic originate from a "New Zealand IP Address" 2) If it is real, given that one of InternetNZs objectives is "To promote easily available access to the Internet for New Zealanders". Is there anything that InternetNZ could be doing at a policy/advocacy level to address this restriction on freedom. 3) Again, if it is real, do you think that just having FYX offering this service will encourage other providers to follow suit, and therefore solve the problem? Or is some other action required? Thanks for that, look forward to the responses. Regards, Dean [1] However you define that [2] However you define THAT

Theres an interesting corollary to this. As a content producer, an increasing percentage of our audience is based outside of NZ and an NZ based CDN is no longer good enough Even a US based CDN is inadequate. (ie SFO or LAX) We now have to use CDNs with a very good global footprint, or use a federation of CDNs. We no longer use NZ CDNs. As an example NZNOG-2012 - only 37% of the audience was in NZ and viewers came from 96 countries. This occurs for pretty well all events we cover now, maybe not to such an extent, but to the point that we have had to change CDNs. Even on-demand material has a global reach and so we need to serve into Europe, central Europe, Asia, Africa (got a POP in Botswana ?). Richard

Nah - it would work with anything which did a DNS request. It would just depend on what sort of proxy system they have deployed. The implication is that they somewhere have a list of services which they will Globalify (there's a new word for you) and allow the rest to carry on directly. I wonder if they would be willing to post that list anywhere? =) Dean On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Simon Blake <simon(a)katipo.co.nz> wrote: > So the implication is that it is HTTP only?

Hosting suggestion
by Matthew Poole 10 May '12

10 May '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all Some of you may be familiar with transportblog.co.nz, which is probably the most significant NZ-centric transport blog. They're presently hosted in the US, but want to come on-shore because they're getting serious capacity constraints trying to serve a local audience from a foreign server. I've suggested that they want the usual suspects for hosing quality (APE connectivity since Auckland is their primary audience, a VPS rather than shared hosting, ideally a provider that discounts domestic traffic since the lion's share of their audience is within NZ), and they've asked if I have any suggestions. I don't, but figure this community will have their collective finger on the pulse of local hosting offerings. So, if anyone who has a suggestion could please contact me off-list (or go to the site and contact the admins) that'd be most appreciated. I will now leave you to your contemplation of beer and packets.

Fwd: [ECS Seminars] Seminar by Foh Chuan Heng

This may interest some of you. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ECS Seminar Notification <seminar-admin(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz> Date: Thu, May 10, 2012 at 10:56 AM Subject: [ECS Seminars] Seminar by Foh Chuan Heng To: ecs-seminars(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz Date: Wednesday 16th May 2012 Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Location: Cotton Club, Cotton 350 Foh Chuan Heng is scheduled to present a seminar about: Data Traffic Management in Data Center Networks School of Engineering and Computer Science Seminar Abstract: The emerging of cloud computing has triggered the demand for large data centers. One of the key building blocks of data centers is the network component. Data center networks have received considerable attention in research in recent years with efforts focusing on transforming the existing Ethernet technology to support data center networks. One key missing feature in Ethernet for data center networks is the support of lossless transmission. To address this shortcoming, a comprehensive data traffic management is needed for Ethernet to operate in a data center, and this need has prompted the creation of a number of standards including IEEE 802.1Qbb for priority flow control, IEEE 802.1Qaz for enhanced transmission selection, and also IEEE 802.1Qau for Ethernet congestion management. This talk presents our recent works on data traffic management in data center networks. We first introduce two layer-2 solutions to combat traffic congestion in data center networks. The first solution uses multipathing technique to balance traffic and prevent congestion at local links. When the offered load exceeds the network capacity, our second solution offers controlling of traffic flows based on their priority to avoid network-wide congestion. In layer-3, we introduce multiple congestion points TCP specifically design for data center environment. We show the significant performance benefit when multiple congestion points can be detected in a data path. The talk concludes with sharing of some ongoing works and preliminary results.

Greetings, It may be of interest to someone out there that rack 20-2 on Level 48 of the Sky Tower has an orange flashing light visible through the door and is emitting a beeping sound. The rack has a label on it reading "Mercury Tele". Cheers, Tim

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 08 May '12

08 May '12

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.
