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?

Anyone interested in donating space / connectivity / kit for a proper NZ Debian mirror?
by Michael Fincham 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

Hi everyone, Citylink's official Debian mirror (ftp.nz.debian.org) is apparently again broken (not even listening on port 80 from where I'm sitting). Would anyone be seriously interested in donating rack space, national transit, or hardware to the cause of another official Debian mirror for NZ? Having reliable and cheap access to free software projects like Debian is critically important, and having a second official mirror seems like a no-brainer to me. I am very happy to donate my time to admin and monitor any equipment provided for this, and to liase with the Debian project as required. Perhaps Citylink could give us some insight in to the traffic levels their existing mirrors see? -- Michael Fincham

AS paths from NZIX route servers
by Lincoln Reid 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hi All, Currently ( all? ) the NZIX route servers insert the exchange ASN into routes that are advertised to the route servers. The exchanges that we peer with overseas such as Any2 in LA, Equinix Sydney and NSW-IX plus the new AKL-IX exchange do not insert the exchange ASN into advertisements, so all else being equal the paths from those exchanges are shorter than routes from APE and WIX by one AS hop. There are other NZ networks like us that peer at APE and/or WIX and also peer at overseas exchanges and to have optimal traffic flows with them, we put in one off hacks per network. The least ugly ways of doing this for us work fine but create per peer config that must be maintained. Ideally we can put bilateral peering up at APE and WIX so that the extra AS hop goes away but sometimes bilateral peering is impractical due to the other networks peering policy. I can't think of a reason why putting the exchange ASN in the path helps anyone. Is this just a hangover from the old days? Or is there some legitimate reason that it should be like this? Cheers, -- Lincoln Reid Head of Networks ACSData - AS18119 lincoln(a)acsdata.co.nz Phone: +64 4 939 2200 Fax: +64 4 939 2201

Fwd: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks
by Mark Prior 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

In case people are interested in heading across the ditch for AusNOG in September. Mark. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:29:24 +0930 From: Mark Prior <mrp(a)mrp.net> To: ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net <ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net> Hello, The AusNOG web site has now been updated with the AusNOG 2016 programme. See <http://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2016> for more details on the programme and abstracts for most of the presentations. As you will notice this year we will again be having a short lightning talk session. Anyone registered to attend AusNOG is welcome to submit a proposal to <organisers(a)ausnog.net> by 29 August 2016. A lightning talk is a short presentation on topics that are either too short, too timely or too preliminary to include on the general agenda, or even just something to stir up some discussion. There is no requirement for slides. As we tried to cram in as many presentations as possible this year time for lightning talks is limited and so we may need to restrict them to 5 minutes (or just run late :-) The organisers would like to especially encourage people who haven't spoken at an AusNOG before to consider having a go. Kind Regards, Mark Prior (For the AusNOG Board) _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list AusNOG(a)lists.ausnog.net http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog

Re: [nznog] Perth to Singapore link cut

Would affect traffic to the Microsoft datacenters in Singapore and Hong Kong, think we have some bw on that leg. Alternate routes via JPN or Guam are much slower ☹ Sent from my Windows 10 phone From: Don Stokes<mailto:don(a)daedalus.co.nz> Sent: Friday, 22 July 2016 5:05 PM To: NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz<mailto:NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> Subject: [nznog] Perth to Singapore link cut I just got a note from Vocus indicating a failure in the Perth to Singapore link. Hasn't had too much impact - the Japan based M.root-servers.net is showing a longish RTT routing via California (going from ~205ms to ~265ms). Not sure if it affects anyone in NZ other than Vocus-connected sites. Looks like the cut occurred around 14:53 today (NZST). -- don _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz https://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog

Trying to locate a cell device of the coast of Otago
by Travis Baird 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi everyone. I am posting here as a last resort and this isn't really relevant to to this group, but more than anything I am hoping someone here may have some more knowledge about cellular technology than me. I have a customer that has lost a fairly expensive Buoy off the cost of Otago and it's GPS has stopped working. Vodafone have confirmed they are still seeing it connected to their cell tower (2G only) but the Vodafone helpdesk people aren't particularly helpful when we start asking them about options for finding a rough location at sea so we have an idea where to look for it. Does anyone know if it's possible to triangulate a location of a cellular device these days? Is there a cutoff distance from the tower that the device will no longer be able to connect (e.g. if there is this helps narrow the search area at least)? Does anyone have an contact details for someone at VF that might be able to help? If anyone has any info that might help, please contact me off list. Thanks in advance.
