Always willing to help, and without him – LibreQoS (and the other QoE solutions out there) wouldn’t exist. Dave was an inspiration, and we all miss him. We’re reaching out to family and close friends to see if there’s anything we can do to help. Dave was an inspiration to us. Dave’s contributions to Linux, FQ-CoDel, and CAKE improved internet connectivity around the world for millions of people. Because of him, millions of people now have access to reliable video calls – and in turn, access to loved ones, healthcare, and community. One of Robert’s ISP customers is a kind paraplegic woman who lives in a far-flung rural Colonia around El Paso, Texas. Her reliable access to her doctors through telemedicine, and to her family through FaceTime, was only made possible because of his algorithms. There are millions of cases like hers, where Dave’s contributions have silently enabled human connection and safety. Everything Dave contributed to the world of technology was free and open source, for the betterment of humanity. Dave is the reason that Starlink was able to tackle its latency issues – enabling a generation of young entrepreneurs across the developing world, such as these young folks pictured in the Phillipines, to start their own ISPs to expand internet access to their communities. Dave started work on FQ-CoDel in part because of his own journey working to expand internet access in Nicaragua, so we know he saw that his work had come full-circle and helped so many. We’re incredibly grateful to have Dave as our friend, mentor, and as someone who continuously inspired us – showing us that we could do better for each other in the world, and leverage technology to make that happen. He will be dearly missed. *PS: *Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our routers and...in production! *https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684 <https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684>* All the best, Frank Frantisek (Frank) Borsik https://www.linkedin.com/in/frantisekborsik Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp: +421919416714 iMessage, mobile: +420775230885 Skype: casioa5302ca frantisek.borsik(a)gmail.com -- Geoff.Goodfellow(a)iconia.com living as The Truth is True -- Internet-history mailing list Internet-history(a)elists.isoc.org https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-history

DNSSEC Root Key Signing Key (KSK) for the Domain Name System
by Christopher Hawker 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Hello Everyone, As many of you may know, one of the functions of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the global coordination of the DNS Root Zone. One of the core components to DNS is DNSSEC. The Root Key Signing Key (KSK) acts as the trust anchor for DNSSEC for the Domain Name System, and this trust anchor is configured in DNSSEC-aware resolvers to facilitate validation of DNS data. This is how your DNS servers are able to cryptographically validate the authenticity of DNS records they receive and serve. For more information pertaining to DNSSEC, how it operates, the KSK and the relevant policies and procedures, I recommend visiting https://www.iana.org/dnssec for more info. In order to ensure the security of the KSK, IANA utilises Hardware Security Modules (HSM) to generate the KSK pair of public and private keys, which in turn are used to sign the Zone Signing Key (ZSK), that itself is used to sign DNS records (RRsets) within a DNS zone. As it currently stands, both of these HSMs currently reside in high-security Key Management Facilities (KMFs) in the USA, with one facility located in Culpeper VA, and the other in El Segundo CA. Now, while the locations of these HSMs are highly secure, both of them are located on US soil. As most people who are familiar with redundancy, this is not a good idea for a number of reasons (which I won't go into detail here as it's outside the scope of this email). What we as a community MUST DO, is look at the relocation of one of these HSMs to an alternate country such as Singapore or Switzerland (regarded as two safe countries) to ensure the continued integrity of the Root KSK. Unfortunately, section 4.2(b) of the IANA Naming Function Contract (https://pti.cdn.icann.org/resources/151/IANA_Naming_Function_Contract.pdf) between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) that govern how IANA performs its functions prohibits the operation of functions outside of the US. Given that the Internet is one of the most critical pieces of global (and not just US-based) infrastructure, I feel that this section of the contract must be reviewed (and deleted or modified to allow for PTI to perform the functions from Singapore, Switzerland or another safe jurisdiction) to maintain the integrity of the Domain Name System. The Second IANA Naming Function Review Team (IFRT2) have released an initial draft report of its analysis, issues and recommendations which also incorporates a review of the Contract between ICANN and PTI. The IFRT2 have opened a public call for comments on the draft report, before they submit their Final Report to ICANN's Board of Directors which they expect to do before June this year. The Public Comment period closes for submissions on 28 April 2025 at 23:59hrs UTC, and I strongly encourage everyone to read the report and provide input regarding support to relocating one of the Key Management Facilities across the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans. To view the report and submit a comment, please go to https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/second-iana-naming-funct…. In order to submit a comment on the report, you will need an account on https://account.icann.org/. In closing, I cannot stress one thing enough - this is in no way speaks to the professionalism of ICANN's staff. The team at ICANN perform some of the hardest work out there, ensuring the integrity and stability of the Internet as we know it today and for that they cannot be thanked enough. This recommendation to move one of the KMFs overseas is simply to help protect it from potential political instability, bias, and to encourage neutralism. We're already doing it with the operation of the DNS Root Zone, let's take it one step further and strengthen the security of DNSSEC and the Root KSK. If you have any questions, please do feel free to ask, either on-list or off-list. Regards, Christopher Hawker

Internet pioneer David Dix has passd away
by Richard Haakma 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hi all. New Zealand Internet pioneer David Dix has passed away today, the 22nd of February 2025. David was the founder and owner of the KCBBS bulletin board system and KC Internet Company in the late 1980s. KC stands for Kappa Crucis, which is the tenth brightest object in the Southern Cross constellation, actually a star cluster also called the "Jewel Box" and came from David's other hobby, astronomy. David was involved with the Auckland Observatory and could get you a good deal on a telescope. KCBBS was built on 386BSD Unix which was a natural choice as the Unix operating system already had drivers for serial ports and multitasking which meant that it could support more than one user simultaneously. This was at a time when conventional BBS's running on MS-DOS supported one user only. Later the BBS was upgraded to a Sun workstation running SunOS. David wrote the BBS code himself in the C computer language. Unfortunately I believe the code was lost some years ago. The early Internet came to New Zealand via Waikato University and made its way to Auckland University, where KC first got a connection at 2400 bps. This was soon upgraded to 9600bps when David and friends discovered how to modify an asynchronous PC serial port to work on a synchronous data circuit. Curious KCBBS users could start to use email, but this was before hypertext and HTTP websites came in to use. Upgrades in speed and the change to actual router hardware, which was DEC hardware using licensed Cisco firmware, meant that the costs were growing. KC Internet was started to provide internet access to a few of David's mates in tech businesses for a fee to cover the budget. More customers were found and KC Internet became a commercial internet provider. Users of the KCBBS BBS program continued to use it for free. KC dropped the connection to Auckland University and became directly connected to Waikato University. When the universities wanted to get out of the chain of commercial internet activity the international service was handed over to a branch of Telecom and KC Internet became a customer of Telecom. David became interested in solar and wind power so installed a wind turbine and solar system which was large enough to run the ISP equipment 24/7 and no mains power. For a time KC Internet was the greenest ISP in New Zealand. The mains power would go off all up and down the street and David's place still had the lights on, making his neighbours curious. This was around the time of the great electricity crisis of Auckland CBD and KC internet was not affected. Getting data services installed to David's suburban basement became a problem and the core was moved to the CBD and away from the solar system, which meant that KC Internet was no longer the greenest ISP. Eventually health problems meant that David needed to step back from KC Internet and David had a quieter life and continued to benefit from that solar power system at home which is still working now. David passed away comfortably in North Shore Hospital. Regards, RH.

Do you need a satellite?
by Jonathan Brewer 17 Dec '24

17 Dec '24

Tēnā koutou, Are you in need of a satellite? If so I have a deal for you.* You may have bent my ear in Rotorua asking about creative and innovative options for a few tens of gigabits of dedicated capacity, priced in the high tens to low hundreds of millions of dollars. As we know, this is enough to be useful in times of earthquake or anchor-dragging accident. At the time of our conversation I had no real options. Times have changed! Please do reach out - this email or a call or text is fine. Ngā mihi nui, Jon * Space lasers not included

by Richard Nelson 15 Dec '24

15 Dec '24

** *Hopefully you all know that NZNOG - 2025 is going to be in Napier on April 10 and 11. Since we have moved to the April time, things run a little later than they did for the conferences in January. Here’s an update about what’s going on.* * Talks: This is a heads up that we will be issuing a Call for Papers in late Jan or early Feb. Please think about the great presentations you can give over the holiday period! Feel free to reach out and discuss any ideas you have with me or the other trustees. We are always interested in good NZ stories - tell us about something you’ve done recently, whether it’s gone well, or if there are mistakes we can all learn from. Sponsorship: NZNOG relies on our fantastic sponsors. We have had great response from sponsors already, and there are still a few spots left. If any one wants to sponsor and was missed in the mail out, please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org <mailto:sponsorship@nznog.org>. Registration / Accommodation: Registration and accommodation information will be available in the new year. Systers: For the last several years, IAA has run an event called Systers in Australia, which aims to grow participation and support women and gender diverse people in our industry. Systers is a one day workshop that provides expert career advice, and helps build important soft skills that support career advancement, and participants then attend the conference in the following days. For the first time, NZNOG has teamed up with IAA to run IAASysters NZ the day before NZNOG. We are looking for both sponsors and participants in the workshop. Sponsorship helps run the workshop, and covers costs for selected participants to attend the workshop and NZNOG. If your organisation would be interested in sponsoring, if you want to attend, or think it would be useful for someone you know, more information can be found at https://internet.asn.au/iaasysters-nz/ <https://internet.asn.au/iaasysters-nz/>.

nz DNSSEC KSK rollover - Standby Chain
by Josh Simpson 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Kia ora koutou, InternetNZ is beginning its return to routine DNSSEC operations. Starting on 15-07-2024, we will begin our improved process, which incorporates changes from internal and external reviews following the DNSSEC incident in May 2023. This will consist of four short maintenance windows, in which we will pause zone distribution to make changes, perform validation, and resume zone distribution. The status and scheduling will be posted to status.internetnz.nz. To be notified, subscribe to IRS Production > Zone Publish Window 1 We will change the DS TTL in DNSSEC policy for the standby chain of second level domains. This change addresses the issues encountered in May 2023. Window 2 We will perform a KSK rollover on the standby DNSSEC chain for nz, ac.nz, co.nz, net.nz, gen.nz, org.nz, govt.nz, parliament.nz, geek.nz, school.nz, kiwi.nz, iwi.nz, maori.nz, cri.nz, health.nz, and mil.nz This will generate new DNSSEC keys and add them to the standby signing chain. Window 3 We will mark the keys generated in window 2 as active in the standby DNSSEC chain. Window 4 Window 4 will occur after the TTL safety period (2xTLL, 2 Days) has lapsed and DNSSEC RRSET validation is possible via both the old keys and new keys. The DNSSEC policies updated in Window 1 with the correct TTL timing will be enforced, this will result in the safe retirement of the old keys and allow us to remove redundant keys from the zones. The current standby chain key tags for each zone are as follows: nz: 49157, ac.nz: 5938, co.nz: 59176, cri.nz: 19190, geek.nz: 7171, gen.nz: 48574, govt.nz: 18181, health.nz: 33694, iwi.nz: 58454, kiwi.nz: 47464, maori.nz: 21689, mil.nz: 43906, net.nz: 25105, org.nz: 24626, parliament.nz: 49424, school.nz: 27382 We would like to emphasise that if you encounter any DNSSEC issues, please report them to us via registry(a)internetnz.net.nz. We will keep you updated, and provide a summary report at the conclusion of incident-related work.

Webinar on LibreQos June 14rh
by Dave Taht 09 Jun '24

09 Jun '24

<blatant advert> We are doing an hour long deep dive webinar on LibreQos June 14th, courtesy of the APNIC Academy, with an astounding 196 signups so far. We are pushing multiple terabits of traffic around the world through it now, not just for ISPs, but for MDUs, post VPN processing, upstream DIY circuits, on everything from DSL to fiber. As an open source, eBPF based transparent bridge, it only takes a few minutes to install in-band, and be able to pull stats about your networks' behaviors that you've never seen before, and then apply the best shaping and bufferbloat-beating code in the world to it. Sign up here: https://academy.apnic.net/en/events?id=a0BOc000000Pgk1MAC - especially if you have been deploying fq_codel or cake, replacing brittle policers, etc, etc. We have a very popular chat too: https://chat.libreqos.io/join/fvu3cerayyaumo377xwvpev6/ PS The upcoming v1.5 release of libreqos is about 30% faster (example: pushing over 60Gbits through a $1500 Ryzen box), which is enough for 10s of thousands of customer networks on the other side of it. We have the ability to model and debloat complicated networks 8 hops deep, or along a troublesome edge, new support for emitting netflow, and quite a few other useful things in that release. and we hope to put it into beta by the end of this month, or earlier. Please come to the webinar to see the latest code, live, in production! https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/tree/develop </blatant advert> I am in general deliriously happy with the stability, and performance of this stuff and the growth of uptake worldwide over the last 6 months, (and also watching starlink get thoroughly debloated a few months back was a real high, tho they just used fq and something codel-ly not LibreQos) Y'all are just minutes and minor CAPEX away from a vastly better internet. -- https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7203400057172180992/ Donations Drive.

In case anyone is undecided about the conference, most of the talks descriptions are now available on the NZNOG website. I have a draft program.

by J Bateman 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hi NZNOG, The Program Committee is very happy to announce that the *AusNOG 2024 Call For Papers is now open!* We are looking for presentations that an audience working predominantly in the network operating space will find interesting and useful. As always, we do not accept marketing or sales material as part of any presentation. The CFP will close on *May 30th 2024*. This allows time for the Program Committee to review papers and choose the program, so we can hopefully have it published online much earlier this year. Please express your interest and a description of the topic you'd like to present, via our new portal. https://cfp.ausnog.net/ausnog-2024/ Thank you, and see you in Sydney, for AusNOG 2024! Kind Regards, *Program Chair,* *Australian Network Operators Group (AusNOG)* *o/b/o Jocelyn, Joe, Mark, Phil, James, Michael*

These folk are putting out some grant money. We (libreqos) are very interested in seeing what can be done to replace brittle policers, and improve wireless long and short haul networks and would love to see someone attempting an ISP or IXP sized deployment down there... https://apnic.foundation/2024-isif-asia-applications-now-open/ -- 40 years of net history, a couple songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9RGX6QFm5E Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos

NZNOG 2024 Call for Presentations
by Richard Nelson 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

The NZNOG Trustees invite presentation proposals for the 21th NZNOG conference, to be hosted at the Rutherford Hotel in Nelson on April 11 and 12, 2024. Conference objective The NZNOG conference, workshops and tutorials are an opportunity for individuals and organisations involved in Internet operations to meet and share the latest in Internet operations, technologies, practices and receive high quality training. The event is unique in New Zealand and attracts technical, skilled individuals with a genuine interest in Internet operations and Internetworking technologies. Submissions on any aspect of networking are welcome however we are particularly interested in presentations that involve real world deployment experience, particularly in New Zealand. We are intending that this conference is an in-person event. We would like to maintain the high level of NZ based presenters and content that we had in 2023. We will also be accepting presentations from overseas speakers who can attend NZNOG in person. We do reserve the option of video presentation for highly valuable presentations but this is not our preference. Conference registration for accepted presenters will be free. Submit a proposal Presenters are invited to submit presentation proposals for consideration by 28 February, 2024. Talks may be accepted as they are received. Please provide your talk title, a short presenter bio and a description of the proposed presentation. Description should be no more than one page long and provide a summary of your networking related subject matter. Normally presentations are 30 min long, are video streamed live and slide decks are posted to the NZNOG website. If you want a different duration or other arrangements please let us know at submission time. To submit your proposal please e-mail:talks(a)nznog.org <https://www.nznog.org/conferences/nznog-2024/talks(a)nznog.org> www.nznog.org <https://www.nznog.org/conferences/nznog-2024/www.nznog.org>

IETF 119 in March 2024 will be in Brisbane
by Jay Daley 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

This is a heads-up that the IETF will be returning to the region after a 20+ year absence, meeting in Brisbane 16-22 March 2024. For those that don’t know, the IETF is the premier Internet standards development organisation, responsible for standards such as IPv6, RPKI, QUIC, WebRTC and plenty more. Anyone can participate, no membership is required and most participation is free as it takes place on mailing lists. The IETF is arranged by areas and Network Operators tend to find the Ops and Routing areas the most relevant. Work happens within Working Groups and the list of those for the Ops area can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/#OPS and the Routing are here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/#RTG The IETF meets three times a year for the various Working Groups to push their work forward and this is the only time a fee is charged, to cover the cost of the meetings, but a remote participation fee waiver option is available for those that cannot afford the fee. I’ll post details about this meeting when registration opens. Jay -- Jay Daley jay(a)daley.org.nz +64 21 678840

Buffer bloat is just about jitter, and jitter mitigation is just better now. I am really not sure what world you live in. Certainly the problem has got much better since 2010, but nearly every network I ever explore still has vast amounts of it. The global south, every coffee shop, and every hotel I have been in, all have major issues here. I make a habit of testing the conference wifi and posting results at every talk. The apartment complex I am staying in this week has a completely saturated backhaul and oversubscribed wifi, with tremendous amounts of delay and packet loss, where more constructive packet loss would help. Google docs is nearly unusable most of the day... and so it goes. I do hope the solutions for bloat continue to roll out globally and we cross this chasm in the next few years. > I don’t think jitter needs to be part of public policy. Congress has mandated a report from the FCC every year about the state of the internet, which is what this attempt at a constructive policy change of focus was about. > > Tom -- :( My old R&D campus is up for sale: https://tinyurl.com/yurtlab Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos
