National Vs International Traffic

Hello All I'm sure this question has been asked a number of times before but a quick search through the list and a Google pretty much draws a blank. I'm working for a service provider (Mothership) and we're trying to differentiate between national and international traffic. Any pointers?

Re: [nznog] Speaking of IPv6
by Brad Cowie 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello, I don't run the machine that hosts the list, but figure I should chime in since I can provide the most up to date information. Waikato has a fully working IPv6 upstream and our own prefix (2001:df0:4::/48) we at Wand make good use of v6. The downside is that I haven't seen any other departments on campus adopt IPv6 yet, apart from our HPC group and Music group. list.waikato.ac.nz is a campus-wide service run by our ITS division, I haven't heard much about ITS's IPv6 deployment plans, but I'm not sure that will help much in this case considering our email vendor (postini in this case) doesn't have IPv6 support. I'm pretty sure we'll have to move off postini soon considering Google is planning to close that service down at some point. Hopefully our new email vendor has IPv6 support? Feel free to flick me any other questions on or off list and I'll attempt to provide answers.

"What's the hourly price for a /24?"
by Dean Pemberton 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi All, The subject line is a question I posed to Geoff Huston years ago in response to us both musing what the price to purchase address space would be. I suggested that if it really got that bad, people would be asking about leasing by the hour rather than buying outright. That time looks to be upon us. While not explicitly allowed, nor disallowed by APNIC policy, IP address leasing is becoming a hot topic of discussion on relevant APNIC lists. Should it be allowed? Should it be disallowed? It it were disallowed would that actually stop it? What mechanisms need to be in place to keep it sane? A 'whowas' server for eg Should someone be able to be allocated addresses under a needs based policy just so they can make money leasing them? Does leasing addresses mean that you no longer need them? Should you be required to return the ? These and many more issues are questions I'd like you all to give me feed back on. This topic will come up in APRICOT 2014 in Thailand. I'd like to know a lot more about what you all think about it before I take the mic.

Our IPv6 works great with Orcon but having serious issues getting delegation back to our nameservers setup. I have been told a few times that everything is setup on their end but I don't think it is. Our IP space: 2400:4800:4017::/48 is meant to be sent to ns1.power-business.co.nz and ns2.power-business.co.nz. However it doesn't seem to.

IPSec vendor interoperability war stories
by Mark Goldfinch 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi everyone, I have a business need to support IPSEC tunnels with many different vendors as we don't get to select our partner's equipment vendors. We've had some recent problems with our existing equipment. At the moment we're look at whether whether software upgrades will help our current situation. While we're doing that we're also looking at what other options exist. I'd appreciate anyone's operational experiences between different IPSec vendors, either on-list or to me directly if you want to protect the identities of the not so innocent :-) Beer for those who can offer their experiences! Thanks, -- * *Mark Goldfinch | Systems Team Leader MODICA GROUP nz: +64 4 498 6000

Vodafone RBI Tower Cosite
by Jonathan Brewer 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi Folks, Anyone want to share their experiences co-siting on one of Vodafone's new RBI funded towers? As I understand there are fixed prices for co-site, backhaul from Chorus, etc.. It should be a pretty sweet deal. If there's anyone from Vodafone listening, I'd appreciate a pointer to a location list, rate card, and application form. I can't find them online. Cheers, Jon

Fwd: [PAG] Fwd: [isoc-advisory-council] STATEMENT: Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology
by Dean Pemberton 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Given that protocols and standards effect NZ network operators, this seems to be on topic. Seeing how IETF handles these issues and rebuilds trust will be interesting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alicia Jackson <jackson(a)isoc.org> Date: 10 September 2013 08:03 Subject: [isoc-advisory-council] STATEMENT: Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology To: "isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org" <isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org> Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology The Internet Society is alarmed by continuing reports alleging systematic United States government efforts to circumvent Internet security mechanisms. The Internet Society President and CEO, Lynn St. Amour, said, “If true, these reports describe government programmes that undermine the technical foundations of the Internet and are a fundamental threat to the Internet’s economic, innovative, and social potential. Any systematic, state-level attack on Internet security and privacy is a rejection of the global, collaborative fabric that has enabled the Internet's growth to extend beyond the interests of any one country.” The Internet Society believes that global interoperability and openness of the Internet are pre-requisites for confidence in online interaction, they unlock the Internet as a forum for economic and social progress, and they are founded on basic assumptions of trust. We are deeply concerned that these principles are being eroded and that users' legitimate expectations of online security are being treated with contempt. As the institutional home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), we believe that open and transparent processes are essential for security standardization, and result in better outcomes than any alternative approach. For example, protocols developed by the IETF are open for all to see, inspect, and verify, as are the open and inclusive processes by which they are specified. IETF Chairman Jari Arkko has strongly reiterated the IETF’s commitment to improving security in the Internet, and to seeking ways of improving security protocols in light of these new revelations and security threats. “The IETF has a long-standing commitment to openness and transparency in developing security protocols for the Internet, and sees this as critical to confidence in their use and implementation.” To read more, visit: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2013/09/security-and-pervasive-monitoring/. However, the open development of robust technical specifications is just one link in the chain. Security standards must be properly implemented and used. This is a wake-up call for technology developers and adopters alike, to reexamine what we can do to ensure that all links in the chain are equally strong. This is key to helping restore public trust and confidence in the Internet. The Internet has tremendous potential for economic and social good, but unless all stakeholders trust the Internet as a safe place for business, social interaction, academic enquiry, and self-expression, those economic and social benefits are put at risk. To fulfill its potential, the Internet must be underpinned by the right combination of technology, operational processes, legislation, policy, and governance. The recent reports suggest that U.S. Government programmes have systematically undermined some or all of those measures, and that is why we view the revelations with such grave concern. With this mind, we issue these calls to action for the global community: • To every citizen of the Internet: let your government representatives know that, even in matters of national security, you expect privacy, rule of law, and due process in any handling of your data. Security is a collective responsibility that involves multiple stakeholders. In this regard, we call on: •Those involved in technology research and development: use the openness of standards processes like the IETF to challenge assumptions about security specifications. •Those who implement the technology and standards for Internet security: uphold that responsibility in your work, and be mindful of the damage caused by loss of trust. •Those who develop products and services that depend on a trusted Internet: secure your own services, and be intolerant of insecurity in the infrastructure on which you depend. •To every Internet user: ensure you are well informed about good practice in online security, and act on that information. Take responsibility for your own security. At the Internet Society, we remain committed to advancing work in areas such as browser security, privacy settings, and digital footprint awareness in order to help users understand and manage their privacy and security. The citizens of the Internet deserve a global and open platform for communication built on solid foundations of security and privacy. _______________________________________________ Isoc-advisory-council mailing list Isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/isoc-advisory-council
