Acceptable levels of packet loss
by Matthew Poole 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Been running SmokePing for a little while now, building up a statistical sample, and wondering what's an acceptable level of loss to be seeing through the provider's core, both to targets foreign and domestic and also from the premises to the first hop in the provider's network. Obviously I'm seeing a non-zero level (averages are in the zero-point-something range, but some of the maximums are above 0), so want to know what people consider to be the point where I go from "unreasonable … [View More]

IPv4 Brokering and Availability Announcements
by Skeeve Stevens 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hi all, I will keep this brief. After many comments to us where people have had to deal with US companies to acquire IPv4, eintellego Networks has decided formalise a service offering IP Brokering. After facilitating and consulting for over a dozen transactions in different countries (including NZ) under the APNIC region - including NZ, we thought it would be good to have a service available locally by someone you know.

Do you stream video?
by Dean Pemberton 14 Jan '14

Hi Everyone, Due to unforeseen circumstances our usual video streaming company of choice (R2) is unable to stream NZNOG live this year. They are able to record the session and have it available for streaming later on, It's just the live streaming they can't provide. Is there anyone in the community who does this sort of thing and wants to step forward and have a go? Just email krystal(a)internetnz.net.nz and let her know. The provisio is that it has to be drama free and this isn't an … [View More]

Plea for help - Ethernet cables.
by Dean Pemberton 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

So it turns out that the SDN OpenFlow tutorial has turned into a bit if a thing. While it was going to use mainly VMs and simulators, Citylink has supplied 20 mikrotik routerboards for the class to actually configure into an openflow controlled data plane. On ya guys, much appreciated, great NZNOG and SDN supporters as always. What I'm after now however is the around 60 Ethernet cables to hook it all together. If anyone could help me out so that I don't need to buy them that would be awesome.… [View More]
