Commerce Commission - bitstream etc.

I was having a look though the documents here: http://www.comcom.govt.nz/telecommunications/localloop.cfm I was a bit disappointed at the lack of Local Loop access but there seemed to be some positive talk about the Bitstream service. However the last three pages (Appendix 5) of the Final Report Appendices basically define this as a 128up/256down service with VOIP, video and similar functionality specifically excluded. In other words Telecom will only have to open up a minimal level ADSL service slightly faster than Jetstart (with a recommended provisioning cost of $185 ) . I also see nothing about removing the requirement for all home customers with DSL to also have a voice phone line so I presume it's still in there which means that their be no option to replace home customer's main phone line with a VOIP system (like some people are doing in the US) or for people just to use their cellphones. Which overall looks like at least another couple of years of "more of the same" with respect to high speed Internet for most people. Or have I misinterpreted the recommendations? -- Simon J.

Open Discussion at BGP'04
by Donald Neal 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

NZNOG People, The last item on the programme (http://www.nznog.org/programme.php) for the conference now getting under way is "Open Discussion". This isn't a BOF. I intend to use this session to ask for feedback from attendees on a number of issues. For a start, I plan to ask for comments on the conference then concluding - what went well, what could be improved. I also intend to try to have those present agree a committee to handle NZNOG's part of the organisation of the next conference, and to ask whether those assembled have any shared views about that conference - where, when, how much beer Roger should pay for. In seeking to do this, I'm assuming that NZNOG will remain a loose association and not a formally-organised society. That's an assumption with which people are welcome to disagree. I'd welcome email directly to me by Thursday night from people planning to attend the conference if there's any other issue they'd like discussed then. If there are a lot of topics people want discussed I'll put together a formal agenda. If you're not planning to attend that session but would be willing to help in NZNOG's part of conference organisation, please also get back to me by Thursday night. I'm also on the lookout for at least one more person to act as administrator for this mailing list. The last time this was discussed on this list a number of names were mentioned, but there seemed to me little sign of a coherent view. Again, if you're interested in taking on that role (or have strong views on who should or should not have that role) but won't be at Friday's session, please email me directly by Thursday night.

Determining International vs Local
by Cleave Pokotea 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

Hello, Just looking for some clarification from the group regarding International versus Local traffic identification (sorry for the uneducated queries): Traditionally circuit switched voice calls are carried via a dedicated end-to-end circuit (or virtual circuit) that the switching system sets up for the purpose of each call. The originating carrier bills the customer originating the call (the collection charge) and is billed by the terminating carrie for completing the call (the accounting rate). Therefore calls are easily distinguished between point A (local) and point B (international). With IP traffic(packet switched) an Internet message is broken down into many packets that may be individually routed over many different networks to arrive at the endpoint where they are reassembled into their original, coherent message. Individual messages therefore do not occupy a defined circuit for a defined time. So, how is International traffic differentiated from local traffic in NZ? How do ISP's deterine what traffic has originate locally? I am assuming there are two main methods of Inter-connection used in NZ; 1. Sats, 2. Southern Cross (?) cable. Is traffic classified (?) at the main entry points or are ISP's classifiying traffic via IP ranges (The dotted quad ranges seem's a rather ad-hoc method) and / or other methods? thanks, C.

If you are already incorporated in New Zealand, you can register an ABN at - http://www.abr.gov.au as an other incorporated entity. There are no filing or registration fees to register an ABN and you do not need an Australian street address. When filing an ABN make sure your company name and desired domain name are registered as trading names. Be aware the Australian Business Registry are terribly slow at creating new numbers, be sure to send them your NZ certificate of incorporation. Yours Sincerely, Dominic O'Hare ENERGISERVE.COM 502 S.

The obvious counter to that -- which I'd assume even spammers could figure out -- is to register a new domain for each spam run through a given open relay. Then they can even put in the SPF records for that relay. This raises the spammers cost, oh, about US$8. It might be enough to cut out the less profitable spammers -- after all it's probably doubling their overheads -- but I imagine all the bigger ones will just keep right on at it. And they can easily register the domain with "anonymous" details. Sure it might eventually get pulled for not having valid details; but by that time it's served its purpose and can be removed anyway. SPF does seem to be a useful step though, as it'll reduce the number of "joe jobs". And hopefully also encourage more people to set up SMTP AUTH and the like. Ewen

Heads up - Webcasting Activity Next week
by Richard Naylor 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Folks, FYI - Nextweek, I'll be streaming the NZ Bloodstock Yearling Sales from Papakura. I doubt that it will be as popular as last years LOTR stuff, but thought I would advise the activity as TV News warned their viewers that it was on. ISPs may get customers asking about it or for support, etc. NZ Bloodstock will (hopefully) have the stream link on their website www.nzb.co.nz I have my usual spartan pages at www.r2.co.nz/20040126 The streaming traffic will be coming out of WIX / iHug addresses, not anycast, but will be my usual 5 bitrates including 384kbps (a very popular rate). I'm a bit confused about some of the dates for next week (I think the stress is getting to me), but there is streaming activity all week, with 2 events. It may be wrapped up by Friday or Saturday, depending on what happens (as I said, I've lost all sense of the dates, Si has just pointed it out). Thanks for your time. rich

Telecom ATM outage
by Matthew Poole 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

There is currently a major ATM outage within Telecom. Effects apparent across the country (one of my employer's customers has 30-some sites around the country and only three of them have communications at present). No "official" word from Telecom, but a large number of major companies are affected by what is described as a "non-geographically-centred equipment issue". Anyone at Telecom able to give us something a little more verbose? Within the boundaries of "official company line", that is.

Net4U Limited

I know everyone must be sick of hearing about The Adventures of 'Net4U' and it at one point, became some what of a Soap. But bare with me (and sorry if this is OT) as I think these two things need to be discussed openly - if they haven't been already (in which case I need to visit the NZNOG Archives). 1. Apart from "Pay your Bill on Time" what can an Individual or Company learn from Net4U's mistake(s)? 2. How can such things be prevented in the future, so that VISP's and customers are left High and Dry. Do measures need to be taken to prevent or minimize the damage created by such things?

Jetstream without Telephone

Hello all, I'm currently in the process of moving. Having had Telecom disconnect my phone-line at 12 noon, I've discovered I can still access the internet via Jetstream (which is getting moved on about Monday). I find it interesting that this is possible, and adds credance to the apparent fact that you don't need a phone connected (obviously you need the line though) to have Jetstream working. Could be interesting food for thought wrt to the unbundling report by the Commerce Commission. -- Cameron Kerr cameron.kerr(a)paradise.net.nz : http://nzgeeks.org/cameron/ Empowered by Perl!

I'm delighted to say that conference registrations hit 100 last night. We have a working limit of about 120 so we've decided we must close registrations on Friday next week (23rd of January).

NZNOG '04 Timetable.
by Jamie Curtis 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

Hi all, Now available on the NZNOG '04 conference site is a draft timetable of events for the main programme on Thursday and Friday. You can get at it from: http://www.nznog.org/programme.php As you can see we have had to parallelize two sessions at the end of Friday due to a very full programme. While we were trying to avoid this if at all possible, the two sessions in question are both more technical versions of earlier introductory talks. We felt this was fairer than running one or both of these sessions in parallel with another speakers only presentation. The other option was to remove one of the introductory presentations and only have the in-depth presentation. NZNOG has a very broad audience however, and we felt we could not assume a minimum level of knowledge on these topics. Hopefully the number of people who are affected by this is small.

Net4u troublemaking and fraud Watch out!
by Michael Hallager 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Watch out people. Sahil and Net4U are now manufacturing totally bogus claims (Including claiming the existance of an invoice, which I have not seen, though if it exists it amounts to fraud) against myself and possibly other former clients. He sent me three B/S claims yesterday, which I refuted all of them so he kept changing his story every time. This guy will stop at nothing to get money in any way possible including lies and threats of Baycorp or the police (I am still waiting for him to lay any allegation) for a claimed but non-existant debt. // Michael Hallager Director || Head geek || Making IT work.

Something interesting
by Barry Murphy 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

I know this was spoken about and many people wondered how it could be done to share multiple internet connections for schools. I just found this to be interesting reading so here's the link... http://www.newswireless.net/articles/030120-locust.html "The impressive part is the ability to combine several broadband feeds. This is an option (it doesn't happen out of the box, but it's built in) - if there are 20 houses in the Mesh, but only four of them have broadband, all users can share all of those lines. It does add to network traffic; there's an estimated 10% increase in wireless load, says Lander. " Barry

survey on BGP damping
by Beichuan Zhang 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

Hi, We are conducting a survey of BGP damping deployment and would greatly appreciate if you could take a few minutes to answer the following questions. There are a number of interesting results and various recommendations for damping settings. However, we have found only limited information on who does(does not) deploy damping and what parameter settings are selected in practice. If you are willing to participate, please send replies directly to us. We will collect the results (removing any private information regarding specific sites) and post the results to the list. Thanks! --- beichuan (1) Does your AS have BGP route flap damping turned on? * Yes * No (please skip to comments) (2) What damping parameters do you use? * Cisco Default * Juniper Default * RIPE recommendation * Customized (3) On which links do you enable damping? * To customers only * To providers * To peers * All the above (4) Comments Please tell us more such as: What kind of network are you managing (any specific names will be removed in the published study)? Why (why not) do you enable damping? If you enable damping, why did you choose your current parameters? Has your site seen specific problems that were prevented by damping (or caused by damping)? We welcome any other comments you feel are relevant. Thanks!

Expired Verisign intermediate root certificate

Just a warning to people who run servers with SSL certificates from Verisign, one of their intermediate root certificates expired at midnight (GMT) today. They appear to have signed SSL certs with a root which expires before the SSL cert does, causing all sorts of wonderful problems. http://www.verisign.com.au/support/carenewal/ has the new intermediate root, for people who have not yet installed it.

(slightly OT) APEC TEL ... next meeting, Hong Kong 21-26 March
by Frank March 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Folks: It is about a year since I last posted on the TEL ... apologies to those whose sense of deja vu is overwhelming. The APEC Telecommunications and Information Working Group (TEL) is highly productive and has a very strong private sector presence. It is very active in online & cyber security, privacy & authentication, telecommunications policy and regulation, broadband & NGI, and in promoting international co-operative projects in areas such as electronic commerce, research and education and many other areas relevant to telecommunications and the use and promotion of ICT generally in the APEC region. The TEL meets twice yearly in different APEC economies and attracts 200 to 300 delegates drawn from most of the APEC economies of whom up to half are from non-government and private organisations. Over the past several years, the New Zealand delegation to the TEL meetings has included a number of private sector members as well as officials from government agencies. Although TEL meetings are not suited to overt marketing activities, private sector delegates have found meetings useful for making contacts and networking opportunities. There is no registration fee for APEC TEL meetings, and the costs of at least some meals are met by sponsors, however delegates are expected to meet their own travel and accommodation costs. The next meeting (TEL29) will be in Hong Kong, 21-26 March 2004. Registrations are required by 21 February. Information about TEL29 may be found at http://www.apectel29.gov.hk (the website will be updated regularly) and further information and papers from previous meetings at http://www.apectel.org Please contact me if you are interested in joining the New Zealand delegation (you must be a member of an official delegation to attend) or if you would like any further information. And please pass this information on to anyone else you think might be interested. -- Frank March Telephone (+64 4) 474 2908 Senior Specialist Advisor Fax (+64 4) 474 2659 Information Technology Policy Group Mobile: (+64) 21 042 9205 Ministry of Economic Development, Wellington, New Zealand http://www.govt.nz - connecting you to New Zealand central & local government services Any opinions expressed in this message are not necessarily those of the Ministry of Economic Development.

NZNOG '04 Deadlines
by Tony McGregor 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

Conference plans are proceeding really well and it looks like we're going to have a great conference. We've got a good bunch of speakers on interesting topics including details of a major IPv6 announcement that you'll hear about in the next little while, wireless IP, VoIP, H.323 Video, NZ NGI, BGP, CityLink plans and a heap more. There'll be speakers from many of NZ's major ISPs and other major industry players and from vendors including Cisco and Juniper. We've added a day of workshops and tutorials to the program which will include APNIC's Internet Resource Management Essentials training course and Ian Hastie (Link Information Technology Limited) on Wireless Technology. We've received very generous sponsorship, including from our primary sponsors CityLink and major sponsor InternetNZ. Also from FX networks, the University and the WAND group. This has kept the cost to just $120 for all three days (including lunches, tea and coffee, tee shirt, coffee mug, sponsored bar, etc.) **NOTE*** YOU MUST REGISTER THIS WEEK to get the discounted registration fee or if you require on campus accommodation. If you know of people who might benefit from the conference but who don't regularly read NZNOG (e.g. major customers, operators of national private networks etc) we would be grateful if you would make them aware of the conference. Full details and registration are at: http://www.nznog.org/ Looking forward to seeing you there.

how much traffic does a Kiwi use?
by Jonathan Brewer 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

Hi there NZNOG folks, I ask this question with my academic hat* on, as a student in the Victoria MMIM program: How much Internet traffic does the average New Zealander generate/consume per month? I've found a plethora of statistics on how many dialup users are out there, how many ISDN and ADSL lines there, and even how many minutes Kiwis have spent on their dialup connections, (1550 million minutes/month[1]) but nothing on traffic. I have even had a look at a few non-public studies. I haven't, however, found anything about traffic. Results will go in a paper for MMIM 522 comparing e-Infrastructure of Ireland and New Zealand. TIA, and Cheers, Jonathan Brewer * for those of you TNC folks who know me with my 802.16 hat on [1] Howell, Bronwyn & Obren, Mark (2003) Telecommunications Usage in New Zealand: 1993-2003.

W3C head Berners-Lee to be knighted
by Barry Murphy 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

Slightly off topic, but interesting... W3C head Berners-Lee to be knighted http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/12/31/HNblkinght_1.html By Grant Gross, IDG News Service December 31, 2003 World Wide Web founder to be given second highest rank of order Tim Berners-Lee, credited with inventing the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), will be named a Knight Commander, Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth of the U.K., the W3C announced Wednesday. The rank of Knight Commander is the second highest rank of the Order of the British Empire. Berners-Lee, 48, a U.K. citizen who lives in the U.S., is being knighted in recognition of his "services to the global development of the Internet" through the invention of the World Wide Web. "This is an honor which applies to the whole Web development community, and to the inventors and developers of the Internet, whose work made the Web possible, " Berners-Lee said in a statement. "I accept this as an endorsement of the spirit of the Web; of building it in a decentralized way; of making best efforts to keep it open and fair; and of ensuring its fundamental technologies are available to all for broad use and innovation, and without having to pay licensing fees." The London-born Berners-Lee graduated from Oxford University in 1976. As a student there, he built his first computer using a soldering iron, an old television and other parts. In 1980, while Berners-Lee wrote the first program for storing information using the kind of random associations the brain makes. At the time, he worked as a consultant software engineer at CERN, often called the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva. The Enquire program -- which was never published -- formed the conceptual basis for the future development of the Web, according to the W3C. While at CERN in 1989, he proposed a global hypertext project, designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a Web of hypertext documents. That hypertext project would become known as the World Wide Web. The program, WorldWideWeb, was first made available within CERN in December 1990, and all of Berners-Lee's code was made available on the Internet in the summer of 1991, according to information from the W3C. In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium, where he presently serves as director. The W3C coordinates Web development worldwide, and its goal is to lead the Web to its full potential, ensuring its stability through rapid evolution and revolutionary transformations of its usage. Berners-Lee joins several other U.K. citizens to receive honors from the Queen, including rock guitarist Eric Clapton, actor Pete Postlethwaite and author Philip Pullman.

At present it consists of the subscribers to this mailing list, which anyone is free to join. A face-to-face gathering is to take place in Hamilton on January 28 to 30, hosted by the WAND group. That's THIS MONTH. See http://www.nznog.org/ for details. Register NOW if you're planning to attend. Also see http://thursdaynightcurry.com/about.html if you live in or near Wellington or Auckland. Operators' Contact List See http://www.usenet.net.nz/noc/ for operational contact details for most New Zealand ISP's. These are intended for use by other network operators rather than by most customers.

And possibly http://www.citylink.co.nz/information/news/nr1068413489.html . About This Mailing List This list has around six hundred addresses subscribed. You may only post to the list from a subscribed address. A number of people subscribe addresses which do not receive email purely to allow posting from them. The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of Waikato, and is administered by an employee of Alcatel NZ Ltd. Neither of these organisations, nor the administrator, is responsible for its content. NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable. 6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable. 7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are discouraged. 8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats is discouraged. 9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. 10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to be immediately announced to the list. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/nznog/ Any message sent to the list will be archived and made available on the web automatically. Changes are not made to the archive on request, though the administrator remains happy to assist the Office of the Privacy Commissioner should any complaint be laid with that office. One way to search the archive is to use google and prefix your search with site:list.waikato.ac.nz . Subscribing to the List See http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog to subscribe.

International connectivity
by Matthew Poole 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

At risk of pulling this list vaguely back on-topic, I'm curious about which ISPs in NZ carry their own international link(s) - That is, it's them at the NZ end and whoever they peer with at the other end, rather than going through another ISP or NSP within NZ. We all know about TelstraClear, Telecom/GG and the Hug, but are there any others?
