infrastructure focused interviews
by Mehmet Akcin 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Good morning A few weeks ago I've started hosting a youtube/twitch/twitter live video show (simultaneous stream) hosting key people who are involved in the exec/operations/engineering of internet infrastructure companies either as consumer or service providers. my idea is to create a platform where questions/concerns can be asked directly to executives/key decision-makers and hopefully get answers. Very similar to Reddit AMA but with focus on telecom/datacenter/infrastructure/DNS/etc. For example, I will have execs from zayo, Windstream, aqua comms, packet fabric this week as my guests where you will be able to ask questions directly. There is also a 1-1 discussion with APNIC's Chief Scientist Geoff Houston about internet growth during lockdowns, and more. I am now working on adding more international speakers to give a global view of internet infrastructure. you can watch the shows live, ask questions, and be part of the conversation from all these platforms. example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEoZNDMDnww in few minutes Geoff will be live here! do you have questions? join us! twitter https://twitter.com/mhm7kcn also available on twitch, and Facebook. if you have a recommendation on speakers you want to see, ask questions, you can contact me offlist. I thought I would share this here, I am sorry if this is off-topic and also sorry for cross-posting in few lists you may be a member of. Mehmet

Do ISPs monitor abuse@?
by Scott Newton 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hi Been getting some bans on my web server where the source is in the local NZ range. Was wondering if it was worth forwarding these on to the the abuse@ addresses or do most ISPs just ignore them due to high volume of spam they get? Thanks -- Regards Scott Newton

NZ Eyeball ISP Top Talkers
by Jonathan Brewer 14 May '20

14 May '20

Hi Folks, I'm trying to help out a customer in the Pacific understand what a developed market traffic profile looks like. In particular I'm looking for a list of your top 20 ASNs by traffic volume. Big bonus if you can attach percentages to those ASNs. If any of you can share any rough detail it would be much appreciated. Anything's fine - attributable, non-attributable, fallen off the back of a truck, apocryphal tales from a late night whisky session, whatever. Thanks, Jon

Free Software Mirror Group's fourth birthday
by Michael Fincham 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi all, Just a quick note to say that yesterday was The Free Software Mirror Group's fourth birthday (we think). Which is quite incredible. I've said it before but I'd like to say it again: thank you to all the support and aroha we've received from the NZ operator community to facilitate the work we've been doing. In particular our sponsors: - REANNZ, who provide us with power, colo and a fat series of tubes - Insomnia Security, Catalyst, Advantage Computers, who contributed heartily towards hardware - and WAND group for letting Brad spend so much time on FSMG stuff :) And thanks to everyone else who's offered hardware, compute time or other resources. I'd also like to personally thank the two volunteers who've done huge amounts of work on the project: - Brad Cowie - James Forman I couldn't have kept things running as smoothly without you guys! Here are some highlights of our work in the last four years: - Upgraded our PoPs to 10 gig connections to REANNZ (Wellington on hold due to pandemic) - Official NZ mirrors for: - http://ftp.nz.debian.org - http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com - https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/archlinux/ - https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/debian-cd/ - https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/kali/ - https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/pub/OpenBSD/ - https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/raspbian/ - Unofficial mirrors for a variety of other things, check out https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/ for a list - Presented at LCA on our mirroring infrastructure - Built Ansible playbooks and numerous pieces of in-house tooling to automate and improve the process of running software mirrors (which we still want to open source!) If you're interested in seeing some stats on what we mirror, how much bandwidth we're using etc, you can find it on our dashboards for each site: https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/.fsmg/nodes/hlzmel/ https://mirror.fsmg.org.nz/.fsmg/nodes/wlglam/ Our goal for 2020 and beyond is still to upgrade the hardware we're using and to open source our infrastructure tooling. We're not sure what this is going to look like yet but we'll keep folks in the loop :) Cheers again and if you have any questions or want to chat, we're in #fsmg on freenode. -- Michael Fincham

NZ Working From Home Traffic Profile
by ahmad.saeed＠huawei.com 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

With lots of New Zealanders and other countries citizens are working from home and the jump in residential Broadband traffic, I am interested in the NZ operators observations. There are few published charts in the NZ Herald article from Chorus and UFF showing phenomenal increase in traffic. In my opinion this is an event that we should document and learn from. I have few questions 1) The jump in residential day time peak ~2PM , is it equal to a drop in business daytime peak ? 2) How do you explain the jump in night time peak (probably people are not going out and are now streaming at home?

Chorus lab tour - Auckland - March 11
by Nathan Ward 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Hi all, Our friends at Chorus have put together a tour of their Auckland lab for the NZNOG community. Details are below. Any questions, please drop either myself or Brent Marquis a line. If you haven’t been to the Chorus lab, it’s certainly an interesting place to check out, and will be a good chance to ask questions and see how some cool technologies work. Note that you do not need to be a Chorus customer to attend - but per below you do need to be a network operator of some description so we can keep it technical and conversation free flowing. -- The NZNOG Chorus Lab Tour Off the back of a couple of talks at the NZNOG 2020 conference, Chorus would like to keep the NZNOG community engagement running. We would like to offer a tour of the Chorus fibre lab, hosted by Brent and Kurt. This will certainly have a Chorus Network Technology and innovation focus, not sales and marketing :) We will provide a guided tour of the lab - showcasing new innovations like Hyperfibre and WiFi ONTs alongside a view of the physical network deployment and a demo of air blown fibre. It will be an open session where you can ask the hosts questions as we go. To top it off, will put on some nibbles and drinks after the tour. There are a couple of important points… This session is anticipated to be attended by the trusted NZ network operator community, and we encourage attendees to be open and forthcoming with their questions and discussion As such, this is not open to the public outside the trusted NZ network operator community. The NZNOG community traditionally comprises RSPs, LFCs, NZ telcos, and those operate a sizeable IT network or other critical infrastructure. We collect some information at registration to assist with this. That information will not be retained or used for any purpose other than verifying attendee eligibility. If the event gets too big, we reserve the right to cancel registrations. Be aware this is on a weekday! The Fibre lab is located in Auckland (on Kyber Pass Road) – you’ll need to make your own way there. We do have some parking available, although, note the ‘drinks’ bit below. The finer details: Wednesday 11th March, 3pm. Nibbles and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages supplied) at conclusion of the tour. Registrations are open: https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/nznog-chorus-lab-tour-registration-951135802… <https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/nznog-chorus-lab-tour-registration-951135802…> -- Nathan Ward

When faced with loneliness and solitude, sometimes it is comforting to read materials on this topic that echo with our own feelings and perhaps offer a new perspective. In this article the most inspiring 20 lonely quotes from world literature are selected, aimed to help us take a better look at this phenomenon. Nobody likes being alone that much.I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all.It just leads to disappointment. “Where are the people?” Resumed the little prince at last. “It's a little lonely in the desert…” “It is lonely when you're among people, too,” said the snake. https://cwordsworth.com/lonely-quotes/

Fwd: RIP: Bill Manning
by Mark Foster 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Not sure how many of you read NANOG. We hosted Bill at NZNOG 2009 in Auckland, and Dunedin 2008. May he rest in peace. -------- Original Message -------- From: Brett Watson <brett(a)the-watsons.org> Sent: 28 January 2020 9:34:44 AM NZDT To: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: RIP: Bill Manning I was saddened to see this yesterday, that Bill Manning had passed. I was surprised this morning that it hadn’t hit NANOG yet but thought I’d post something because I have a ton of respect for Bill as I’m sure many here do. I met Bill as a very young, thought-I-knew-everything network engineer around ’92 when I was starting my internet life at a small ISP in Houston. Bill was visiting Stan Barber @ Sesquinet, which was my upstream provider at the time via T1, if I remember it all correctly. I was young, fresh out of college with a CS degree, and learning this “internet thing.” I met with Bill on campus at Rice University to discuss networking/routing, and Bill taught me CIDR, which I had no f-ing idea at that time what it was. Bill was always gracious and willing to share/teach. We always chatted and stayed in touch at NANOG and IETF conferences and through his relationship with Los Nettos over the years. Most notable, to me, was 2007 when my youngest daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and I believe Bill’s wife had (or previously battled) cancer as well. I hadn’t seen Bill for a few years, but he immediately reached out, shared his positive thoughts/prayers, and kept in touch during the battle we went through. Bill cared about people, and as noted below, he was smart as hell, and always had a crazy idea for how to solve a problem. Also as noted in Rod’s note below, Bill had a wealth of music knowledge and could always recommend something new and interesting to listen to. I’ll definitely miss Bill, and his passing makes me feel the years, and the mileage, but in a good way. -b >> This morning I talked to Julie Manning, Bill's wife. Bill died early >> Saturday morning, at home in Oregon. Most of you know Bill was >> waiting for a new heart. He would perhaps have gotten one next >> month. I guess the old one just wouldn't hold out long enough. >> >> I first met Bill in about 1995, when I returned to ISI after my first >> stint in Japan.

He came by the look honestly: growing up in the Bay Area, >> he had actually snuck into Grateful Dead rehearsals held in a barn, >> and had traveled as a deadhead for a while. >> >> At ISI, we called Bill "the bad idea fairy". He always brought a >> slightly-off-kilter view of technical problems, which triggered >> endless discussions of fascinating, if usually implausible, >> alternatives. >> >> He had the most broad-ranging musical tastes of anyone I knew, and >> would eat almost anything (though, like me, he didn't drink alcohol). >> I was often envious of his eating and musical experiences. He >> certainly lived life to its fullest. >> >> On one occasion, I recall, we were eating lunch in a Thai restaurant >> for the first time.
