by Skeeve Stevens 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Hey all, I need someone for some onsite work in Albany on Thursday from about 4pm NZ time. Also, the SAME resources should be able to return back there on Friday morning for any user related issues. It is basically moving desktops from domain to another... about 11 desktops, making sure printing works, etc. One guy should be enough, but I'd like an option for two if required. Someone please get back to me ASAP so I can lock this in. Respond by email with skills/costs/etc. Someone with recommendations from someone I know and trust in the community would help :) ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.co.nz ; www.eintellegonetworks.co.nz Phone: +612 8014 7398; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering

BGP Session flapping with Vodafone Blue (Telstra Clear)
by Alexander Neilson 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Has anyone else been seeing their Vodafone Blue (Telstra Clear) BGP sessions expiring hold timers / flapping this evening? We were experiencing the sessions timing out and dropping then coming back from about 6:50pm NZ till about 9:15pm NZ and looking at BGPlay I can’t see any withdrawals from when the sessions dropped so outbound traffic seemed to re route however inbound was at least partially black holed. I tried to ring the faults team and got no answer, I have sent in a fault via email nearly an hour ago and no response yet so was looking to try and isolate who / where people experienced this and try nut out what is happening.

Change to Telecom's email service
by Glen Eustace 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

We have had enquiries from several of our customers in the last couple of days regarding an email they have received from Telecom. It relates to a change in Telecom's email service that I find interesting. These customers use Telecom as their ISP, and have a mailbox on Telecom's Yahoo/Xtra service but they use their own domain when sending messages, we are their MX host and we redirect their mail to their xtra.co.nz address. Apparently from the end of September Telecom are going to prevent their customers from using their SMTP servers unless the From address on outbound email is an Xtra one (or I presume a domain that they manage). Up until now, we have always instructed customers to use the SMTP servers belonging to their ISP (i.e. the ISP providing their Internet service), that advice now goes out the window and we are going to have to work with Telecom's customers to help them setup authenticated SMTP to our servers. I am not impressed that Telecom are effectively going to break their email service (for their own customers) and are relying on others (e.g. us) to fix their customers email for them, when in my opinion, the customers email isn't currently broken. Glen.

Does anyone sell upload favorable international transit in NZ?

>From what I understand, most bandwidth purchased from the Southern Cross access cables is purchased in symmetrical quantities. ie 1gbps in both ways.

Linux.conf.au 2015 - Call for proposals closes soon
by Simon Lyall 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

A reminder that the Call for Proposals for Linux.conf.au 2015 in Auckland closes in a couple of days. If you want to submit a proposal for a talk, tutorial or a Miniconf you need to do it right away. Some advice on getting your talk accepted is here: http://www.linux.conf.au/cfp/gettingyourproposal === 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 it's sure to be represented at the conference. Here'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. By agreeing to present at or attend the conference, you are agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions (http://lca2015.linux.org.au/cor/terms_and_conditions) We also expect all speakers and delegates to have read and understood our Code of Conduct (http://lca2015.linux.org.au/cor/code_of_conduct) === Format === There are three different ways that you can present your content: * Presentations * Tutorials * Mini conferences _Presentations_ Presentations are 45 minute slots that are generally presented in lecture format. 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. When submitting your proposal you will be asked to release materials relating to your presentation under a Creative Commons ShareAlike License.

Juniper MX with inline-jflow and full tables
by Ewen McNeill 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Is anyone running a Juniper MX-80 type platform (MX5/10/40/80) and using inline-jflow (which runs in the TFEB) on the same router as full IPv4 BGP tables? Either with the current JTAC recommended release (12.3R6.6) or some other software release. I have a client that has been trying this, and found that moving to 12.3R6.6 and being _very_ careful about what goes into the TFEB[0] has made it _better_ than it was with previous software releases. But still not exactly rock solid, run forever. If anyone has experiences they'd be willing to share, either positive or negative, I'd be interested. Either on list or off list. (I'm happy to summarise back to the list if anything useful gets turned up.) Ewen +64-21-916-965 [0] To avoid running out of memory -- inline-jflow seems inclined to use about 1/3rd of the TFEB memory when it is turned on, and of course full v4 tables require a bunch of TFEB memory too.

Re: [nznog] POSTing problems.
by Pete Mundy 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

(copied back to NZNOG as it is semi-operational and others may be able to chip in) Sorry Criggie, not certain as I don't know enough about CGN to say. I had just assumed CGNs would would handle non-80/443 TCP traffic! Otherwise you can't get your lulz catz emails without webmail?! If you're ring-fenced behind http then yeah that's somewhat restrictive. For what I'm using them for (quick remote tool for 1 person), I just use SSH outbound over a high TCP port into a (free :) EC2 instance that I reactivate when needed. The TCP session is kept alive with a minimal trickle of data until I'm ready to log in over it (Pi just keeps trying periodically if server is down because EC2 instance is paused). So if they (cell carrier) only pass TCP/80 & 443 (and then probably transparently proxied & sanity-checked for HTTP compliance etc too?!), then no, I think maybe my wee boxes probably wouldn't work behind that. I do trigger a periodic 'call home with stats' poll over https as well, and that would probably get through, but the tunnel itself needs that high TCP port to operate. I did set them up for IPv6 tunnels concurrent to the v4 ones though, and that can can actually sometimes be quite useful as sometimes one can get in via v6 when one's v4 is down! I don't suppose there is any chance your cell provider does IPv6? If not then I guess tunnelling over DNS or maybe over HTTP or HTTPS might be the only option to get through that; and if they're mucking with the POSTs then maybe even that couldn't get through!

Thoughts about IP Transit
by Skeeve Stevens 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hey all, There was a discussion recently on Ausnog about Transit, so I was inspired to make a video about some of my thoughts on the subject. I've done this video as my ISP Guy thing, and I thought I would share it as you might find it useful or interesting. It isn't meant to stir up people, but I am sure it may, especially those selling transit in a certain way. This video is more about educating people about the value of transit in certain kinds of ways. It is about 14 mins long, but I'd like to know what you thought if you have time to watch it. http://theispguy.com/thoughts-about-transit/ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpq_jOMEmdM The pricing I mention in the video is mostly relevant to Australia and I realise pricing is somewhat different in NZ. That brings up a question... what is the pricing of transit in NZ and what ways are people selling it? Are terms 6, 12, 18, 24 months? What is the average price you are seeing? Does pricing drop much at scale? Who are the key providers of quality transit? Is there a demand for 1:1 in NZ? or is a little contention ok? Just a few questions so I can understand the NZ market a bit more and in future perhaps include that in my commentary. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.co.nz ; www.eintellegonetworks.co.nz Phone: +612 8014 7398; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering

POSTing problems.
by Steve Holdoway 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Sorry, small fry here looking for guidance. I have a couple of websites running on separate VPSes at Optus in Sydney, and they are showing exactly the same symptoms: they seem to be working fine if routing from NZ via Voda or TC / Vocus, but if using Telecom, they can't POST anything at all - can view webstes no bother, but logging in, filling in forms, forget it. Any ideas? I set up both sites so may have done something weird ( I'm on voda! ) and not noticed. Quote from forum user - pretty succinct: "At work - no problems - we use a Telstra/Voda link to Oz then out to the world through corporate IT there. Works like a dream. Response times are <1ms. On mobile 3/4G via Vodafone it works okay, no performance or login issues that I can tell. At home, my old man's place, and the in-laws place, all Telecom (and Wi-Fi onto my iDevices) it is okay to browse without being logged in but as soon as you log in it either 1.) logs you straight out of whatever page your on when you navigate to another page, or 2.) it runs like arse and won't let you post, then logs you out. Basically unusable." Is this a known problem with a simple fix, or have I stuffed up???

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

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.
