Akamai at APE
by Scott Pettit 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hoping someone knows/can share more info about the Akamai APE peer. It's been there a couple of months now but I can't find any announcement or info in regards to what those caches are serving. I'm seeing a small amount of largely corporate-ish content coming off it (e.g. Cisco.com content seems to come from there) but wondered whether it also provides media content like iTunes movies? Does anyone have detail on how large it is and what it's there for? -Scott

Multicast traffic replication issue
by Ben Cornish 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Hi All, Curious if anyone has seen this issue previously or could offer any advice on the issue: We have a VLL/EOMPLS with Pipe from Sydney to NZ which then utilises a City Link QinQ service across town in Auckland. We've had an issue ongoing for some time and it only relates to multicast traffic traversing the path. Essentially this issue started when we couldn't establish a OSPF session over the link - yet all other traffic flows as expected. When we broke this link down to basics (laptop either end) we send one multicast packet in the Sydney end - we then receive that same packet 97 times out the Auckland end. (Over the Pipe and City link path) We see this issue when we ping 224.0.0.5 over the link and get that same exact packet 97 times on the other end. We've seen this when doing WireShark captures on the port. The captures show the exact same packet 97 times (ie same payload/sequence number). Pipe seem to be running out of ideas to track the issue. Being a EoMPLS circuit I doubt the issue is on the Pipe side but more on the City Link side. When CityLink were engaged in the issue they did what they referred to as an RFC test - as I understand it, unicast testing only and never engaged further. This issue only seems to effect link local multicast traffic - ie 224.0.0.x/24 All other traffic appears to flow normally/as expected. Obviously we are chasing pipe to test each side individually to work out who is doing the packet replication - however I am curious if anyone has had issues forming OSPF sessions over a City link service ?? Or if anyone can offer advice or seen a similar issue ? My brain boggles thinking how this is even possible or what would cause it.

Re: [nznog] New IXs in NZ - discussion
by Stu Fleming 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Coming very late to the party on this, but I wanted to wait until announcements (both press and BGP) were out there: On 11 November 13:18, Tim Hoffman <tim(a)hoffman.net.nz> >We've had some interesting announcements of Megaport and IX Australia building internet >exchanges into NZ over the last week or so. I've been a bit surprised at how little chatter there >has been around this on the list. I've just completed standing up our (WICNZ AS38437) peering with APE and hope to complete megaport IX peering in the next couple of days. We're peering IPv4 and IPv6 on both. Our peering record is at http://www.peeringdb.com/view.php?asn=38437 NOC contact: Stu 021 993 125 stewart(a)wic.co.nz I've noted with interest the migration away from Sky Tower to 220 Queen St in particular and the healthy participation by a large number of operators on APE. See below for how you can help me :-) >It's interesting looking at the differences between the 3 IXs we're about to have. >Citylink, who have the critical mass of all the peers, are in the most locations, and are the most >expensive. They've also got a product set around metro ethernet, dark fibre, and have a CDN >running. And they're doing some interesting things around a "SDN driven IX". An announcement in the last few days which seems to have been overlooked on NOG is the relaunch of the Dunedin Peering Exchange: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU1412/S00637/citylink-tech-boost-for-dunedi… As you will probably all know (to varying degrees of snark), Dunedin won the Chorus Gigatown competition, providing gigabit speeds on UFB at the retail level. As such, we're expecting higher than normal traffic volumes and hopefully an associated increase in exchanges between providers. I would strongly encourage any operator with a presence in Dunedin to connect to the Dunedin Exchange when it becomes available. We're committed to peering there and hope to see others connecting! Regards, Stu

We (vorco.net) do support IPv6 on all connections and it's on by default. All customers are assigned a static /56 via DHCPv6 PD, so all that's required is enabling it on the CPE and it is a "production" feature. We officially test and support it on Cisco 867VAE, all 880's, 890's and anything upwards of that and provide template config for these. We have also tested and know it works with Netcomm NF4V (on firmware RB017 and RB019) but don't provide support for those. We've gone to great lengths to pester anyone we connect to with broken IPv6 and as at right now are not aware of any outstanding issues. -Scott

Let's change that awareness then! :) http://www.sinch.co.nz/support-centre.html Very first question on their list: "Can I get IPv6?" Answer: "I'm so glad you asked, yes all our plans are IPv6 enabled." That statement makes me think they seem pretty supportive. *disclaimer - I am not a customer of Sinch, nor have I ever used their products. I simply had their service pointed out to me recently, and I think I maybe I'll get a test circuit from them sometime next year. Pete

AKL-IX and domestic vs. international
by Dave Mill 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi all (Note, I'm not trying to place blame at any party here. Just interested in people's thoughts on this situation) We, Inspire/AS17705, recently peered at AKL-IX. I was interested in using this peering exchange as much as possible so we have tended to prefer AKL-IX routes over any other peering exchange (though we still prefer bi-lats, private interconnects, etc, over AKL-IX). Simple stuff.. We learnt a lot of routes off AKL-IX. We started sending traffic out via. AKL-IX. Cue customer complaints. In general, we were sending all traffic to AS4826/Vocus out via AKL-IX. I believe if another ISP had Vocus as an international provider the traffic would ingress that ISP via their international pipe. This led to one customer having packet loss over a VPN (I'd assume the far end had congested international) and another customer getting billed for this traffic as international. We ceased learning Vocus routes from the AKL-IX. Problem solved... Except, this doesn't really sound ideal to me. If Vocus are announcing routes to AKL-IX (their choice) I would like to be free to use them. What should we be doing in a situation like this? What should Vocus be doing? Am I just making a mountain out of a molehill here and should I just shut-up and leave my current fix in place? Cheers Dave

The copyright is held by R2 (2011) Ltd and all rights are reserved. We use that statement whenever a client fails to advise what rights they would like to assert. This is to protect the client's interests despite their ignorance - if that makes sense. We have only 2 clients who (usually) advise what rights to assert and they are usually a form of CC. On the funny side - even Creative Commons NZ don't advise, even after 7 years of waiting, so we hold the rights on their launch in NZ ! http://www.r2.co.nz/20071027/
