Question on Extreme VMAN
by Jodi Thomson 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi All Currently we have a Cisco ME3400 handing the qinq for our fibre connection. However it only has 2xGig ports so have to uplink to a separate switch in the core to keep everything at a gig. Before purchasing new kit we have a couple of Extreme X450e switches. Their qinq implementation VMAN is supposedly compatible, providing Ethertype is set correctly. However documentation is a little light on details regarding configuration so I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with it. Current Cisco config below - can it be duplicated using VMAN? Off list replies are fine interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description Connects to Core port-type nni switchport mode trunk switchport vlan mapping 12,101,1200-1202 dot1q-tunnel 503 switchport vlan mapping 600-649 dot1q-tunnel 501 switchport vlan mapping 650-700 dot1q-tunnel 502 switchport vlan mapping default drop ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 description Connects to Fibre port-type nni switchport mode trunk media-type sfp Thanks in advance, beer Cheers Jodi

Vodafone New Zealand - access to recursive resolvers
by David Robb 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

To all members, Vodafone New Zealand will start blocking external access to the recursive DNS servers of the former TelstraClear network to non-customers as of July 3rd 2014. Some of our former customers or other users with Vodafone modems may have the IP addresses of our DNS servers set up on their devices. With that in mind, we'd like to notify you that from midnight 01 July 2014 we will stop providing DNS resolution for external non-Vodafone users, resulting in such customers being unable to browse the internet. The affected DNS servers are at the following IP addresses: 203.97.33.14 203.97.37.14 203.97.78.43 203.97.78.44 Vodafone customers who need help with this change can contact the Vodafone Technical Contact Centre on 0800 438 448. Regards David Robb Transport Design Engineer, Vodafone New Zealand

Transit Questions (IPv6, MTU, EDNS)
by Alexander Neilson 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi All I am looking to see what others experiences are with transit providers. Mainly I am wondering about IPv6 Support and MTU Sizes >From talking to my upstream providers it appears that 1500MTU is the limit I have access to, and one of my two upstreams doesn’t provide IPv6 for transit. This leads my to a few logical questions: * How many transit providers provide MTU above 1500 Bytes? * How many transit providers do not provide IPv6 transit? * How do others handle EDNS? I was doing some looking around our systems a while back and I found a default setting in the Bind9 version we were running that set EDNS to 4096 Bytes. Now all of our transit is limited it seems to 1500 Bytes, so I set the config to limit the announced support down into the usable range by us and saw a reduction in the need for DNS retries. Do other people just have better handling of fragmentation? Do you find any issues having EDNS announcing support for sizes above your transit? do you just have transit that supports MTU over 1500 Bytes? And a big issue in my opinion is the lack of IPv6 support from transit providers. I am not sure about other providers but it will be one deciding factor when purchasing transit going forward. Happy to receive information off list if people don’t want to name on here. Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Limited alexander(a)neilson.net.nz 021 329 681 022 456 2326

by Simon Lyall 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

=== linux.conf.au Call For Proposals === The call for proposals for linux.conf.au 2015 is now open! The conference is a meeting place for the free and open source software communities. It will be held in Auckland at the University of Auckland Business School from Monday 12 to Friday 16 January, 2015, and provides a unique opportunity for open source developers, students, users and hackers to come together, share new ideas and collaborate. === Important Dates === * Call for Proposals opens 9 June 2014 * Call for Proposals closes 13 July 2014 * Email acceptances start September 2014 * Early bird registrations open 23 September 2014 * Conference dates: Monday 12 January to Friday 16 January, 2015 === Information on Proposals === The linux.conf.au 2015 papers committee is looking for a broad range of proposals, and will consider submissions on anything from programming and software, to desktop, mobile, gaming, userspace, community, government, space, and education. There is only one rule: *Your proposal must be related to open source* This year, the papers committee is going to be focused on open source in education as well as our usual focus on deep technical content. The conference is to a large extent what the speakers make it: if we receive heaps of excellent submissions on a topic, then itâ€™s sure to be represented at the conference. Hereâ€™s a few ideas to get you started: * Clouds, data centers and scalability. * Community challenges; legal threats; education and outreach. * Documentation for open source projects. * HTML5; multimedia codecs. * Kernel developments; new architectures. * Open hardware; embedded systems; wearable computing. * Security; privacy; anonymity. * Networking; Software defined networking; bufferbloat; network function virtualization. * Software development; programming languages. * Sysadmin and automation. linux.conf.au is known for presentations and tutorials that are strongly technical in nature, but proposals for presentations on other aspects of free software and open culture, such as educational and cultural applications of open source, are welcome. === Code of Conduct === linux.conf.au welcomes first-time and seasoned speakers from all free and open communities: people of all ages, genders, nationalities, ethnicities, backgrounds, religions, abilities, and walks of life. We respect and encourage diversity at our conference.

These form the bulk of the available conference slots. _Tutorials_ Tutorials are 100 minutes long, and are generally presented in a classroom format. They should be interactive or hands-on in nature. Tutorials are expected to have a specific learning outcome for attendees. _Mini conferences_ Miniconfs are one or two day long sessions on a specific topic. A separate CFP form will be used to propose and select miniconfs, and is available at http://lca2015.linux.org.au/miniconf-cfp === Speaker Information === In recognition of the value that speakers bring to our conference, once a proposal is accepted a speaker is entitled to: * Free registration, which holds all of the benefits of a Professional Delegate Ticket * Exclusive tickets to the Speakers' Dinner for the speaker and their immediate family * One free family ticket to the Partners' Programme If your proposal includes more than one speaker, these additional speakers are not entitled to free registration or to any extra benefits. linux.conf.au does not and will not pay speakers to present at the conference. linux.conf.au is able to provide limited financial assistance for some speakers, for instance, where the cost of flights or accommodation might prohibit a speaker from attending. Please note, however, that there is a limited budget for travel assistance and that asking for assistance could affect your chances of acceptance. === Recording and Licensing === To increase the number of people that can view your presentation,linux.conf.au might record your talk and make it publicly available after the event.

Re: [nznog] Power event in Sky tower
by Martin Spencer 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi Everyone. I am Martin Spencer, the owner of The Data Centre at 220 Queen Street. I have been following the thread on the Auckland Peering Exchange and thought it would be useful to bring you up to date with some recent changes in my data centre. We now have two generators and have just completed construction of our own sub-station to service the whole building instead of Vector's old one. We have never had a complete power outage, though in the early days we did experience an outage on one UPS. I then had all the UPSs modified to try and ensure it wouldn't happen again. I would like to confirm that we do not charge monthly cross-connect fees. The only charge is for setting up the connection and that is based on what it costs to run the cable. Since I do not and never will supply bandwidth I am carrier neutral and have always hoped that I could encourage people to peer in my facility. If a formal peering exchange were to be set up here I would not want to be involved in the administration. I would do all I could to support and encourage it but would continue with my current philosophy of concentrating on making the physical infrastructure (aircon, power, security) as robust and reliable as possible. If one or a group of you would like to meet with me to discuss how we can improve our facilities and make them more transparent and available to you, please contact me.
