IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry updated
by Selina Harrington 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hi, ICANN has updated the IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry according to the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA. The policy states that in each IPv4 allocation period, each RIR will receive a single IPv4 allocation unit from ICANN. An IPv4 allocation period is defined as a 6-month period following 1 March or 1 September in each year. The address space selection software can be downloaded from: https://github.com/icann/ The list of allocations can be found at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-recovered-address-space/ipv4-recovere… Regards, Selina Harrington ******************************************* Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094 Phone: +1 310 301 5800 Fax: +1-310-823-8649 *******************************************

"The GCSB’s brake on innovation"
by Michael Fincham 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

<http://techliberty.org.nz/the-gcsbs-brake-on-innovation/> Excerpt: Trying to do the same in NZ, but govt's TICSA legislation makes deploying SDN/NFV in backbone networks challenging http://t.co/91MUpxfOnw — Steve Cotter (@SteveCotter) February 22, 2015 [...] So this is a statement by the CEO of a government owned company whose purpose is to "establish and operate the Advanced Network in order to promote education, research and innovation for the benefit of New Zealand" saying that they can't do the research and development work they need to do because the bureaucrats in the NCSC at the GCSB are holding them back. -- Michael

openwrt on mikrotiks (rb750, rb951) with openvswitch
by Sam Russell 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

After getting carried away coding at the SDN workshop this week I've gone and flashed an RB750 with the latest openwrt (chaos calmer), and discovered that the package/dependency management lacks the finesse of something like debian/ubuntu: root(a)OpenWrt:~# opkg install openvswitch Installing openvswitch (2.3.1-0dfed4ba9c8a16a1f316d709b7831a4e139472d4) to root... Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/mikrotik/packages/packa…. Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for openvswitch: * kmod-udptunnel4 * kmod-udptunnel6 * * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package openvswitch. digging deeper, it appears that kmod-udptunnel is built for ar71xx/nand (https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/nand/packages/base/) but not for the mikrotik fork (https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/mikrotik/packages/base/) questions: - has anyone got this running? im going to build kmod-udptunnel from source and then opkg install openvswitch, but was hoping i wouldn't have to - does anyone have a preference for ar71xx-mikrotik over ar71xx-nand? i know Dean has deployed ovs from source on older mikrotiks running attitude adjustment, who else is playing in this space? cheers sam

Loading of IRD.govt.nz taking 30-50 seconds of late
by Barry Murphy 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Morning all, Wondering if anyone else is noticing that the ird website is taking quite some time to load, has been happening since late last week or earlier this week judging from reports. Tested from our network and also on 4G from Spark, same issue. Looking at a debug of the page, we get a 301 after 25 seconds, then we get a 24 second delay for a 200 OK then things start loading a bit later out of a cache from the looks. If anyone that looks after the IRD infrastructure is on the list, feel free to reply offlist. Many thanks -- Kind regards, Barry Murphy / Chief Operating Officer

increasing number of blacklisted NZ public IP addresses
by Daniel Christie 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello all, I'm working for a small web/mail hosting company. I've recently noticed a lot of blacklisted IP addresses from NZ based ISPs being dished out, part of our intrusion prevention methods involve denying connections from these addresses. How do these blacklisted IP addresses get unlisted? Is it the responsibility of the customers of these ISPs or it is the responsibility of the ISP? Daniel Christie

ATS Switch for 1-3 Devices
by Mark Foster 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hiya folks, Looking for a cost-effective solution to automatically switch a non-redundantly-powered device between redundant power supplies. For example running a single switch between a UPS-backed power supply and a direct-mains power supply, so that I have some tolerance should the mains supply to the UPS fail (or the UPS itself). Essentially something like this: http://www.cdlnz.com/index.html?do=viewproduct&p=NR605&code=RP-ATS But i'm looking for something relatively small and for a relatively low number of devices (say anywhere from 1 to 3). I'm also not necessarily looking for >10A 240V; the gear that'll be being run, is quite low current. Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks Mark.

Bi-lateral peering sessions
by Tim Hoffman 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Kind folk of New Zealand, A while ago, when I was at Citylink, we had some very interesting discussions on what the community believed the role of the route server infrastructure was in our exchanges. At the time, Citylink had announced that they were no longer going to require every operator to submit prefix lists to them for enforcement. In my opinion, Citylink moved to the correct way of acting; not providing a level of route filtering for the community, but instead putting it onto each ISP to enforce their own BGP security. It was interesting to me how much people had placed a reliance on the route servers and their enforcing a route policy on behalf of them, rather than taking responsibility for this themselves. I recall that in this discussion on the list Dean Pemberton, Michael Fincham, and Andy Linton made some excellent points about this. One of the interesting things about New Zealand and IXs is the lack of bi-lats or routing control used across the peering exchanges. In many IXs worldwide, the route servers are only considered to be the initial stage of setting up on an IX (if you used them at all). An ISP or content provider would reach out to all the peers that they did any level of traffic to and request a bi-lateral BGP session, which they would enforce their own route policies on, and filter routes in both directions on this session to appropriately manipulate traffic. In light of the issues this afternoon on APE, I wonder all of us putting some effort into bi-lats with our major peers is worthy of discussion? Also interesting is the attached graph of aggregate traffic on AKL-IX, showing the value of having multiple IXs in Auckland for resiliency. Cheers, Hoff [image: Inline image 2]

Hi, I am wearing my Massey Uni hat and we are struggling with an intermittent number (though its growing) of random SIP telephone call failures from the PSTN. I realise that this isn’t a telephony support line but with the proliferation of VoIP I am hoping some of the people on the list might be able to help. We are getting call failures to completely random Massey DDI’s, Spark have traced the calls and are confident they leave their network and Vodafone are doing the same and do not believe the calls enter theirs. The call’s terminate on a system which plays the following voice prompt twice and then ends the call. “Your alternative network call is unable to proceed at this time, please try again later”. The voice is a pleasant Kiwi (though I’m not a linguist so might not be) female. If anyone can put their hand up and say, "yes that’s one of ours" or anyone has heard or know where this recording might be coming from it might help. The calls are definitely going somewhere and if we, Massey/Spark/Vodafone can work out the where it might help pinpoint the how. I know this is a long shot but we are running out of ideas.

The SDN Workshop - 18 & 19 February 2015 in Wellington
by Dean Pemberton 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

Given that the SDN tutorial at NZNOG was packed, I thought this might be of interest to people. There are a few seats left and on Friday it's being opened up to students. If you're interested then get in touch via the email below. ---------- http://ecs.victoria.ac.nz/Events/SDNWorkshop Future generation networking systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are networked, organised, configured, optimized, and recovered automatically based on their operating situation. With the emergence of Software Defined Networks (SDN), context awareness and dynamic adaptive services and application are gaining much attention since they allow automatic configuration of devices and their parameters, systems, services, and applications to user's context change. In addition, context awareness, with the help of software defined and cognitive systems, allows customisation of operating parameters of devices, users, applications, and networks based on the current context. This first workshop intends to introduce software defined networking concepts and practice for people new to the field. The workshop will also be a forum for practitioners from industry, academia and government to exchange ideas, present new results and provide future vision on these topics. The morning sessions will consist of talks, while the afternoon sessions will be more hands-on. To make the most of the afternoon sessions, you should have some basic programming experience (we will be using Python) and you need to bring a laptop. ________________________________ Date: 18th and 19th February 2015 Venue : Room 413, Railway building, Pipitea Campus, 1 Bunny Street, Wellington. Time: 9a.m - 5p.m (both days). Registration cost: NZD 50.00 per participant. Refreshments will be provided.

I've created a survey to gauge the community's interest in prpl Foundation organizing an OpenWrt conference. Since CeroWrt is based on OpenWrt, I think folks in the CeroWrt community might also be interested in an OpenWrt conference. As background, prpl participates in the OpenWrt community through our members directly as well as our working group, prplwrt. Organizing an OpenWrt conference is one more way in which we can support and strengthen the OpenWrt community. We'd like to know if there's support in the community for a conference dedicated to OpenWrt. Topics at a conference could include: * How to develop your own flavor of OpenWrt (like CeroWrt) * Securing OpenWrt * Question and answer with the core OpenWrt team We're excited at the prospect of organizing a conference for the community. If you have any interest in an OpenWrt conference, please complete the survey at your earliest convenience. The survey is at http://bit.ly/1BWKWFP Thanks for your time and your commitment to CeroWrt. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Re: [nznog] Suggestions for router with 3G external antenna for remote site comms

Afternoon, If you want something rock stable then i recommend the Cisco 88Xg series. They are fixed interface devices with either xDSL/HSNS/Ethernet WAN ports and inbuilt dual SIM 3G. They have dual antennas with N-Type connecters for low loss external antennas if needed. We have deployed these in the past for 3G failover on xDSL connections and they have always been extremely reliable. -Laurence Bullivant laurence(a)bullivant.co.nz On Sat, Jan 31, 2015 at 3:34 PM, Darren Moss <Darren.Moss(a)webhostnz.co.nz> wrote: > Hi All, > > We have a bunch of regional sites (weather probes) that run some > equipment, 2 PCs and are connected to the internet. > > At the moment it's dongle city which I would like to change over to > something a little better :) > > I am looking for suggestions on a decent (business grade) router with 3G > capability an external antenna connection. > > At each site, the equipment sits in a rack, inside a hut and signal > strength is reasonable (3/5). > > My thinking is to deploy a basic Cisco router with a 3G WIC then an > external antenna on the same mast where we collect weather data. > > Happy to hear suggestions and input. > > Many thanks > > > > Darren. > > _______________________________________________ > NZNOG mailing list > NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog > >
