AS paths from NZIX route servers
by Lincoln Reid 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hi All, Currently ( all? ) the NZIX route servers insert the exchange ASN into routes that are advertised to the route servers. The exchanges that we peer with overseas such as Any2 in LA, Equinix Sydney and NSW-IX plus the new AKL-IX exchange do not insert the exchange ASN into advertisements, so all else being equal the paths from those exchanges are shorter than routes from APE and WIX by one AS hop. There are other NZ networks like us that peer at APE and/or WIX and also peer at overseas exchanges and to have optimal traffic flows with them, we put in one off hacks per network. The least ugly ways of doing this for us work fine but create per peer config that must be maintained. Ideally we can put bilateral peering up at APE and WIX so that the extra AS hop goes away but sometimes bilateral peering is impractical due to the other networks peering policy. I can't think of a reason why putting the exchange ASN in the path helps anyone. Is this just a hangover from the old days? Or is there some legitimate reason that it should be like this? Cheers, -- Lincoln Reid Head of Networks ACSData - AS18119 lincoln(a)acsdata.co.nz Phone: +64 4 939 2200 Fax: +64 4 939 2201

Fwd: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks

In case people are interested in heading across the ditch for AusNOG in September. Mark. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:29:24 +0930 From: Mark Prior <mrp(a)mrp.net> To: ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net <ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net> Hello, The AusNOG web site has now been updated with the AusNOG 2016 programme. See <http://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2016> for more details on the programme and abstracts for most of the presentations. As you will notice this year we will again be having a short lightning talk session. Anyone registered to attend AusNOG is welcome to submit a proposal to <organisers(a)ausnog.net> by 29 August 2016. A lightning talk is a short presentation on topics that are either too short, too timely or too preliminary to include on the general agenda, or even just something to stir up some discussion. There is no requirement for slides. As we tried to cram in as many presentations as possible this year time for lightning talks is limited and so we may need to restrict them to 5 minutes (or just run late :-) The organisers would like to especially encourage people who haven't spoken at an AusNOG before to consider having a go. Kind Regards, Mark Prior (For the AusNOG Board) _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list AusNOG(a)lists.ausnog.net http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog

Trying to locate a cell device of the coast of Otago
by Travis Baird 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi everyone. I am posting here as a last resort and this isn't really relevant to to this group, but more than anything I am hoping someone here may have some more knowledge about cellular technology than me. I have a customer that has lost a fairly expensive Buoy off the cost of Otago and it's GPS has stopped working. Vodafone have confirmed they are still seeing it connected to their cell tower (2G only) but the Vodafone helpdesk people aren't particularly helpful when we start asking them about options for finding a rough location at sea so we have an idea where to look for it. Does anyone know if it's possible to triangulate a location of a cellular device these days? Is there a cutoff distance from the tower that the device will no longer be able to connect (e.g. if there is this helps narrow the search area at least)? Does anyone have an contact details for someone at VF that might be able to help? If anyone has any info that might help, please contact me off list. Thanks in advance.

Large increase in traffic
by Dave Mill 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi We're seeing a large increase in inbound traffic levels today. Appears to be coming in both over peering links and internationally. Right now it appears to be Microsoft related. An AKL-IX graph shows it well - http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?local_graph_id=14&rra_id=all Or the MS port: http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=137&rra… Does anyone else have more information to add as to what MS patches or similar are causing this? And over what borders this traffic is entering their networks? Cheers Dave

Huge increase in Spam traffic over the past few days - Domains registered with MelbourneIT?
by Cameron Bradley 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi All, Wondering if anyone else has seen the same situation in their environments. Our MTAs are taking an absolute pounding (and as a result I'm not sleeping much!) from a bunch of hosts with PTRs for domains ending in 'eas.com' (ex 'leipai168eas.com', 'attractive7eas.com', 'theevermoreseas.com', 'bajasouleas.com'). All the domains seem to be registered through Melbourne IT to random gmail addresses (which themselves look spammy!) and using cloudns nameservers. There has also been a noted increase in traffic from other domains, but this one stood out to me as a pattern. We've got mitigations in play, but I'd still be interested to see if anyone else was experiencing any noise. Cheers, Cam

NOC status (was 2Degrees (SNAP) issues at 220 Queen Street this morning)
by Jamie Baddeley 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

I think it's a great idea. Would be a good paper/lightning talk from someone at the next NZNOG conference. The key issue is a standard API that network operators could present to an aggregator location like http://www.nznog.org/noc-list and for it to include info that operators need to know and care about. If some sort of API spec was published then at least folks would know what to aim for. Jeez, even a set of twitter handles to aggregate would be a start. But then we'd rely on Timmeh not breaking shit. Anyone up for talking about that sort of stuff in February?

NZNOG17 to be held in Tauranga
by Jamie Baddeley 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hi Folks, On behalf of the Trustees, I'm very pleased to announce that from the 23rd-27th of January 2017 the conference will be held in the Bay of Heaps, or more specifically, Tauranga. The venue is http://www.trinitywharf.co.nz - A couple of the trustees have visited the venue and they report it is a great spot. I know I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. I encourage all of you that are planning on going to book accomodation now. Book early and book often. We'll have more information up on the website soon about accomodation options. We'll let you know when that's up. I'll say it again, book now. At the venue, down the road, your mates place, whatever - it's the Bay of Plenty in January. You get the idea. For those of you out there seeking to sponsor this conference, then please get in touch with us via sponsorship(a)nznog.org (subject: sponsor)- we'd love to hear from you. For our good friends and sponsors from previous years, I'll be getting in touch with you next week. As always we sincerely appreciate your support. Now that we've got the venue sorted out we'll be sorting out registrations and all the rest of it which brings me to: --------- *Program Committee:* Once again we'll also need to assemble a program committee. Eligible PC candidates are those who have attended NZNOG conferences in the recent past, have broad technical knowledge of Internet operations, and have reasonable familiarity with the format of NZNOG conferences. PC members are expected to work actively to solicit content for the event and review submissions for technical merit. What the PC do and come up with is the most important thing for the whole conference. If you are interested in joining the PC send a brief note to "trustees at nznog.org". The note should include affiliation (if any) and contact details, and a brief description of why you would make a good addition to the PC. PC members receive complimentary registration for the event. ------------ Finally, can I just add that in what seems to be an ongoing climate of consolidation and acquisition, now is the time for all operators to get together to discuss what smart new things need to happen to keep moving the packets faster and better. There is always a better way. Cheers Jamie Baddeley on behalf of the NZNOG Trust.

Consulting: IPSec VPNs to multiple customer networks
by Christoph Berthoud 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hi All, We are looking for any network consultant/company who can assist with the following. Replies off-list please :) We have several customers who we have established site-to-site IPSec VPN tunnels with to provide them with remote support (I hate this concept but I have to go with it). Some of these connections are just single sites with a single network, others are to a customer's head office with multiple sites/networks behind. As we onboard more customers, terminating all of these VPNs onto our office firewall/router is becoming a headache. We regularly make changes to our firewall/routing and frequently run into issues affecting the VPN tunnels. We also have complex NATing for customers that have overlapping subnets. I want to remove our office firewall/router as the terminating endpoint of these VPN tunnels. My thought is to build a 'hub and spoke' topology, using a centralised hub router to terminate all of the customer VPN tunnels, and our office then also becoming a spoke. Now changes to my office network have no impact on the VPN setup, and vice-versa. If this is something you, your company or someone you can refer has experience in, I would very much like to hear from you. If you have had this problem in the past and have any other clever solutions, I would also love to hear from you! Happy long weekend! -- Thanks Christoph Berthoud

Mikrotik BGP VRF Advise
by Liam Farr 18 May '16

18 May '16

Hi, Im looking for someone to give some architectural advise on setting up VRFs on a Mikrotik for separating out BGP routing table functionally. E.g. Local BGP Peers / Local IX's > Local VRF National Transit BGP Peers > National VRF International Transit BGP Peers > International VRF Then leaking those routes into other VRFs, for example a customer transit VRF containing routes from all three. Is there anyone other there who has done this on a Mikrotik (preferably in production) that might be interested in providing some architectural advise / initial configuration help? Payment in cash / beer / hard liquor / your preferred currency. -- Kind Regards Liam Farr Maxum Data +64-9-950-5302

Exploit on Ubiquiti AirOS
by Dean Pemberton 16 May '16

16 May '16

Hi All I'm told that the local WISP operator community is dealing with a new worm[1] that exploits Ubiquiti AirOS devices running older firmwares. This could potentially be a lot of devices. http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-General-Discussion/Virus-attack-URGENT-… has ISPs from Spain, Brasil, and the US reporting infections in thelast 24 hours. Versions prior to these are vulnerable: 5.5.11 XM/TI. 5.5.10u2 XW 5.6.2 XW/XM/TI There looks to be some more information here which might or might not be related. https://hackerone.com/reports/73491 If you know anyone who makes use of UBNT AirOS products, now might be a time to give them a nudge. [1] quote from the forums "It's a self-distributing virus, so, once it can "see" neighbour antenas within the same subnet, it attacks the others."

AS17746 Gone burger
by Simon Allard 05 May '16

05 May '16

Good Morning NZNog. Just a FYI AS17746 is no longer aggregating any of the ex-Orcon IPv4 or Ipv6 subnets. These have been moved to AS9790. Its made our IPV6 uptake stats look a little sad, but that's just how it is. 17746 is still in the AS path for some routes, but the goal is for that to change overtime. Any issues encountered, please sing out Cheers, Si Simon Allard | Senior Network Architect D: 09 550 2790E: Simon.Allard(a)m2group.co.nz M: 020 100 0790W: vocus.co.nz A: PO Box 108-109, Symonds St, Auckland 1150

Xtra mail issues
by Chris Roberts 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hi Is there someone that can help with the issue of delayed mail with Xtra / Yahoo. There has been no mail sent to the xtra domain for some days now (like a week) so should there have been any issues it should have resolved. The NZNOG phone number for the NOC ends in Asia with some unhelpful people. We suspect the issue may have been caused by a winery sending a newsletter or a compromised user email address as you do from time to time. The domain that is being rejected is amuri.net I some one can contact me or sam(a)amuri.net or remove the block which would be even better that would be great. Below is the reject message: Action: failed Status: 4.4.2 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com[124.108.96.211] while sending RCPT TO and The mail system <xxxxxxx(a)xtra.co.nz>: delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com[124.108.96.211] while sending RCPT TO Cheers Chris --

OT: Dodgy Russian port-scanning service / 158.255.5.147 causing high CPU
by Liam Farr 16 Apr '16

16 Apr '16

Hi, Just thought I’d throw this at the list, more of an interest piece than anything. A downstream network noticed today some extra latency on their network, caused by a significant increase in packets / CPU usage on a Mikrotik CCR in the path. At approximately 3:20 am this morning there was an uptick of about 25k PPS on their network, although not a significant increase in the amount of overall traffic (mbps) on the network. After some investigation this afternoon it was found that the additional increase in traffic was coming from 158.255.5.147 which appears to be a Russian web based port scanning service. While the service itself claims not to be malicious, by design it was causing a detrimental affect on the customer network, (increased CPU and increased latency), there is also the question of what the results of the port scan are used for, which I highly doubt is a legitimate purpose... Anyway enjoy your Sunday :) Liam

RAD E1 over IP converters
by Richard Naylor 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Having a bit of a clean out here and found a pair of RAD IP-MUX-11 units. They are E1 over IP. Basically they use about 10Mbps to shift an E1 circuit (2 Mbps). One unit has a faulty power supply (5v and 3.5V) but otherwise is good. Free to a good home can be your "home lab" or business - otherwise they go into the recycle bin. Email off list if you're interested will this (de)generate into a series of emails...... Rich

Contacting Microsoft regarding Domain Names

I tried contacting Microsoft Regarding .kiwi.nz domain a number of times but I have had no response from them and the problem has not been resolved. (This is over multiple years and multiple complaints) (Its only been 4 years) The Problem is.... I own www.kiwi.nz. This shouldn’t actually cause any problems except with bing webmaster tools. (Most other people including Google get it right within a few days/weeks) . Yes at the start I expected a problem but seeing all the bing stats for the thousands of other .kiwi.nz domains isn’t interesting for me. I expect people who own other domains like www.maori.nz and www.geek.nz etc would have the same issue as well maybe but you never know. Craig

Hello NZNOG, We have some new Trustees to help us ensure that the NZNOG goodness perpetuates into the future. A big welcome to (in descending alphabetical order by the last letter in their first name) Barry Murphy, Jesse Archer, and Dave Mill. Remember to pass on your [congratulations|commiserations] next time you’re dealing with them. This means that we’re well stocked with Trustees as we prepare for NZNOG 2017. Our full roster is (in ascending numeric order by the second digit in their phone numbers): Jamie Baddeley Gerard Creamer Richard Nelson Dave Mill Jesse Archer Barry Murphy We’re working on venue options now, and will announce something when there’s something to announce. NZNOG is held in the last usable week in January, so that’ll be 23-27 January 2017. A huge thanks to all of the past Trustees - you have all done such fantastic work setting up solid structures and processes (with documentation!) that our jobs are less chaotic than I recall from pre-Trust days. Cheers, Gerard (NZNOG Trustee)

Hi list, I see there are videos of the last apricot conference up on youtube. I'm going to be stuck on a plane for 24 hours and want to downloaded them all. Does anyone know if these videos are available without having to use a youtube scraper? -- Regards, Joel van Velden +64211083357

21 Mar '16

(again, apologies for using my personal address - but it's subscribed here) This is reminder that there is a scheduled change to the IPv6 addresses for the L-Root server, that will take effect on March 23, 2016. The new IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET will be: 199.7.83.42 2001:500:9f::42 Please remember to update your root “hints” files on your DNS infrastructure. (as per : http://www.dns.icann.org/2015/11/05/l-root-ipv6-renumbering/ ) Cheers Terry

fx4.wix.nzix.net (202.7.1.176) looking a bit busted

Hi folks, Vocus is looking in to this however if you're peered with the WIX route servers you might want to check what prefixes you're learning with 202.7.1.176 as the next hop - we're seeing packet loss across the WIX to that peer. fx3.wix.nzix.net (.175) looks to be fine still :) -- Michael Fincham
