Sorry, this was supposed to hit the list Friday, but due to posting restrictions it never made it through :-) -- As the owner of this IP block, we were made aware of the issue, we requested that we be given until the end of the working day to obtain a response from the customer involved. We personally appreciate Gordon's restraint in agreeing not to post details on this until such time as the deadline was met or the formal response was obtained. Sadly, we did not manage to get a formal response to Gordon about this issue. The customer in question was null routed at the time, the block was removed pending comment from the customer but if this causes an issue for anyone else in the Internet community then please let us know and the null will be re-instated. Thanks, -- Steve.

FW: Walker Wireless attacking other ISPs?

Hi all, Has anyone else been seeing mail1.walkerwireless.com attempting to break in to their border routers? Picked this up on a routine log audit. Although we actively block and log this sort of activity, others may not be aware of it. Of particular concern is the attempted use of the ILMI exploit, detailed at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/976280 which has no legitimate reason to be seen.

We have noticed this and have taken action to stop these SNMP polls from reaching other ISPs. The polling of addresses blocks managed by other ISPs was purely accidental and should not happen again. Walker Wireless is more than willing to investigate incidents like this directly. If anyone has concerns about unusual activity orginating from anywhere in the Walker Wireless network please contact our Network Operations Centre on 0800-WWCARE or myself directly.

Yup.. didnt help that Ihugs New Fandangled Transparent Proxies just 'suddenly' started ICMPing the crap out of me.. I seem to recall failing to get a straight answer out of Ihug Abuse untill id sent in at least 3 or 4 seperate (and loud) complaints. Ive run the abuse box for a couple of ISPs now Glen - so yes, ive learnt a bit since I stopped using Ihug for my internet access - but one thing I have learnt is not to ignore customers. A couple of decent, polite responses (which may or may not include things like "This is outside of our control, please do not report further abuse of this nature to us") work a lot well than a stoney silence, which used to originate from Ihug Abuse far too often. If you educate your customers theyre less likely to come back to you with the same issues. Ihug Abuse has improved somewhat over the last year or two, fortunately. :) Not bad, especially considering staff turnover. Mark. (I got my Ihug account when I was 16 and barely knew what TCP/IP was.

Internet Name Protection Pty Ltd

As many of you will be aware there seems to be another bulk snail mail from one Internet Name Protection Pty Ltd to .co.nz name holders offering to register hitherto unregistered names. Such names can be simply registered by them for $NZ125pa ! Oddly the name holder for (internetnameprotection.co.nz) seems to be the Internet Name Group (ING) of St Kilda. ING remain suspended as a Domainz .nz provider. Derek Locke (CEO of Domainz) will be issuing a press statement (hopefully later today) discouraging people from sending ING money or having anything to do with them and I would ask you to give your customers a similar message. Domainz will be urgently investigating what other steps can be taken.

Way OT: Employment anyone?
by Jim Mann 21 Apr '02

Hi all, I do apologies for this way off topic post. If it's considered a massive no-no then maybe 'employment solicitation' could be explicitly included in the list of unacceptable postings! I'm hoping that by posting to people at the coal face I'll get more response than some of the agencies I've been in touch with! Very briefly then: I have: - just got here from the UK & live in Auckland. - worked for 7 years at a University Computer Centre where I: - built/managed WAN to connect 1300 schools in 2 counties, and a - MAN to connect all Universities in the region to the NREN, - Oh yes, the University LAN. - had to sell the 'Internet' to some IT Managers/Principles! (even AFTER a FREE connection!) I have not got: - Asbestos underpants, - any vendor qualifications ( I consider this an asset!) [I do have a degree though] If you know of any current or forthcoming opportunity in the ISP/Carrier area can you let me know? Or anything else in datacomms for that matter! Can I be useful to you?

RE: [OT?] The great African internet robbery
by Frank March 20 Apr '02

20 Apr '02

This is an arguement of long standing. In APEC it is known as 'international Internet charging arrangements for services' or ICAIS and in ITU-T as Recommendation D(iii). Precisely the same phenomenon applies to New Zealand and until relatively recently to the whole world, including Europe. Europe now has 'in house' Internet exchanges and a growing volume of indigenous content so that there is less and less reliance on Internet US-centricity. Asia is slowly evolving the same way. Arguments around this matter have been rehearsed on this list previously, when I asked for comment on a New Zealand position to take to the APEC TEL Working Group about two years ago (and received very helpful feedback). My (v. concise) summary of the New Zealand Government position on this matter is as follows: "Noting that NZ has the highest percent of GDP expenditure on telecommunications world-wide (OECD, 2000): we recognise that there is a net economic cost to NZ arising from current charging arrangements, nevertheless, this is not having a perceptible dampening effect on Internet development and use in NZ. Relevant industry opinion in NZ is that there should be no government action taken with respect to the current arrangements." Incidentally, the lack of perceptable effect on Internet development applies throughout Asia as well, in my view. I would love to see a realistic break down of comparative costs to ISPs and to their customers internationally ... I would bet that 90% of end user costs are due to domestic tariff rates and policies.There is now a considerable pile of international policy papers on this matter in the ITU and APEC TEL as well as a number of other international fora. They can be summarised as saying 'no or very little effect, dont regulate' or 'disaster, discrimination, growing digital divide, its not fair, regulate'.

Off Topic Job Scrounge
by J S Russell 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

This IS off topic, but has been done before (Hi James and Matt!) so please indulge me. :) I find myself having been made redundant from Callplus, with nothing else immediately lined up as alternate employment. If any of my fellow nznog denizens have any kind of position suitable for an experienced tech/tech-manager, please let me know about it - my mortgage must be fed. Salary is fairly unimportant, as long as there is some. Hours are also fairly unimportant, as is location (though it'll have to be Auckland). Part-time is fine, too. Weekends also fine. I come complete with an optional terabyte or so of disk, packed to the gills with TV shows, and bolted to a high-spec server. This _may_ accompany me to a new gig, if that gig finds it acceptable to have such a thing on their network, but it's 100% optional. Please feel free to e-mail me if there's anything going at your company which I can assist with.

[OT?] The great African internet robbery
by Chris Wedgwood 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

The same argument presumably applies to New Zealand (and Australia) here. What the article fails to mention is there seems to be more interest on the whole for New Zealanders to access U.S. based content than for U.S. based users to access New Zealand based content. I would guess, if the option were available for parity here, that many people in the U.S. would simple choose to ignore (cut off) NZ completely if they had to share an equal part of the cost burden (remember in a fair world whis would be circuits to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe), however, I have to wonder what the incremental cost to the average U.S. based user would be of U.S. based carriers and suppliers did take half of the cost and could redistribute the burden over other transit and peer links. --cw http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_1931000/1931120.stm [...] According to Kenya's Internet Service Providers (ISP) Association, the continent is being forced by Western companies to pay the full cost of connecting to worldwide networks.

Each time for the last 6 months I have emailed them back saying "remove me please, I am not interested in your service" , but I still keep getting them. Do you think a Physical Registered Letter Send to them in the mail from a Lawyer asking them to stop work? Has anyone else had trouble with this "Company" in the past.

Re: HitWise

I ran the Hitwise system at CLEARNet for several years. The system seemed to work quite well. The initial work over the logs is done on your site by a program that Hitwise provide. The output of the program is a text file that you can inspect. The format is quite simple and there are no userid's in the file just site info. So there is no privacy concerns that I can see as its not possible to identify a particular users surfing pattern. The marketing bodies seemed to be happy with the reports that they got for free. We only stopped using the system because marketing decided they preferred another crowd. However after turning off hitwise they found out the the new crowd wanted to charge us an arm and a leg for the info Hitwise had given us for free so that deal fell through and now nobody uses the CLEAR Net logs anymore........... If would have been a good idea to find that out before tuning Hitwise off d'oh........

maggie.automagic.org
by Joe Abley 08 Apr '02

08 Apr '02

The NZ-only BGP stats being collected on maggie.automagic.org have turned out to be less than entirely reliable, mainly due to the fact that I never came up with a good and consistent heuristic for determining whether a route corresponded to infrastructure which is in New Zealand or not. ASes which extend between countries, new transit and peering arrangements between NZ operators and those overseas, and peculiar redistribution loops and other leaks all conspired to pollute most of the data to the extent that it's not really good for much, as far as I can tell. What might be better would be to avoid the geopolitical distinction altogether, and just accept as much of a full table from everybody as possible, with open access for people who want to troubleshoot or collect the data for research, à la route-views.oregon-ix.net. Unfortunately maggie is a 45MHz SPARC Classic, maxed out with 96MB of RAM, and exposing her to the trauma of even one view of the full table would likely cause her extreme discomfort. If someone else feels like donating a router to the cause, to be used for such a purpose, I think that would be a Good Thing to have, but maggie is not that router. So, if anybody is going to be upset if the data currently published from maggie.automagic.org goes away, or stops being current, could they drop me a line off-list?

Maybe someone should tell Rick that making the internet work in New Zealand has precisely nothing whatsoever to do with the nz TLD. I would have been more encouraged by a statement which says "we expect the new Domain name commissioner to be a registrant-funded scapegoat for the continuing disappointment experienced by Domainz customers, and to be a focus point to pull all the ICANN-obsessed hot-air generators into small, poorly-ventilated rooms where they can be dispatched cleanly and efficiently using poison gas"] - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

I _think_ that the > restriction may have been lifted but I'm not 100% sure. The restriction was lifted by InternetNZ late last year. Don Stokes can explain far better than me why there used to be a ban on TLDs being registered at the 3rd level but basically it used to cause problems for some old servers. Data indicated that the number of people likely to still be using such old software is very limited and that as most other TLDs allowed TLD names at the third level we should follow the trend. Incidentially ICANN is moving to ban ccTLD (and country) names at the 2nd level in gTLDs because some Govts have asked for this. But that is for political not technical reasons DPF - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

by Malcolm Lockyer 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

Bassically let me explain myself. I'm working with Idiots - who don't know the differnce beteen ram or ip. So - when I say "Its a router - its job is to direct network traffic" - they'll say somthing like "Whoa - they must be pretty big - isn't there only one of those in the world" and a multitude of silly questions. Don't get me wrong silly questions arn't that bad - its just when lots of ppl ask the same questions it gets really annoying. So - it would be great for me to say - this was a cisco 2501 series router, it is uesed to (we all know) - when it was new it was worth $X, and now its worth $x/100 etc. Also - let me be honest, there is a double meaning or purhaps hidden agenda behind asking for this stuff. Firstly it is NOT so that I can have a cool network (make with older tech) at home, or purhaps so that I can sell it - or anything like that. (To prove it - if I mess with something worthwile - a 2500 series router for example that doesn't work -and I make it work good - I'll happily give it back). Firstly - I like to tinker with stuff. Since I'm only 16 years old it is hard trying to get cisco gear, and people get really upset when you tell them that your going to tinker with the nice new shinny router that you've just installed. So - it would be alot of fun (And somthing to do to pass the time) just to mess with really old and/or broken hardware - not nessasarily tring to make it work - just messing. Especially so that I have a better understanding of actually how stuff does stuff - so eventually I can be a better/more effective employee. Also - remember I am asking for gear that isn't being used anyway - purhaps piled in a corner or some other equal place - left where it fell from the last upgrade or somthing. I'm not asking for 7500 series routers which arn't being used right now - or a 4000 that doesn't have enough ram etc. I mean more like some cisco alphabet soup products - or purhaps a 2500 that got droped a long way and doesn't light up at all anymore. Stuff like that. Effectivly junk! Also - my other purpose. I really like cisco stuff. Becasue they are such cool things - 'cause of how well they are constructed designed. And if nothing else - it would be cool to have a bunch of boxes with "Cisco Systems" tags on them :D. So - to just to reiterate. I don't want this stuff so that I can make it work and sell it - or have a huuge network at home. I'm doing it primarily 'cause cisco is cool, and I LOVE to mess with hardware. Anything at all would be more than muchly appreciated - and would go to a "good home" and be messed with/worked on for months to come. Thanks alot - even for your time to read this. :D On Mon, 1 Apr 2002, Craig Spiers wrote: > If your only looking at the value of equipment, surely you dont actually have > to have the gear..

Hello there, We currently have a Frame-Relay Customer, they seem to be experiencing packet loss (upto 45%) when they begin a download. However it isn't the case on our end. Any pointers? They are running a 64/384k PVC and are an Intenret Cafe.

OT: Old Stuff
by Malcolm Lockyer 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hello all, Sorry for the off topic post, and comerical nature of this post. But, I'm looking at doing a project about the devaluation of equipment. How routers/switches/hubs etc. etc. which cost $$$'s of dollars, then become almost worthless only a few years latter. So for the project it would be good to have some old gear on hand. So - I was wondering if people had old cisco switches/routers/anything, or any other branded equipment - thats old/broken/not relyable anymore that they wouldn't mind parting with. If you are in the hamilton/Auckland area, I'll come and get gear, or pay for shipping. I'm even happy to give a couple of dollars for stuff that still works okay. Thanks alot! - it'd be very thankful for ANYTHING. (BTW - please message me off list).

Prefixes, and gonzo...

Okay, it's official, I am a gonzo. I admit it freely. This is the classic example of when your brain fried, and working on completely new configs for about 10 routers at once. Anyay, I think all the emails from people saying "Hey, what about...." have finished coming in.

NZNOG, UniForum and the Conference
by Donald Neal 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

The UniForum NZ board met on Saturday, 16th March, and spent most of its time discussing matters related to the upcoming conference. NZNOG has been proceeding on the basis that it is going to be holding a gathering which is to take the form of a stream at that conference, to be held in Auckland in July. NZNOG seems to me to have a strong programme lined up, and there have been many expressions of interest in attending. But given the fact that we've never done this before, it is hard to be precise about how many people we can expect to turn up. At which point things have the potential to get a bit more complex. Two views were expressed at the meeting of the relationship between UniForum NZ and the conference. The majority view held that UniForum holds the conference in part to attract membership. Also, a surplus made on the operation of a conference for a society's members is not taxed, while a surplus made on a conference attended by non-members has a tax status which is not clear. UniForum NZ has in the past included a year's subscription in the non-member registration rate for its conferences, so that in fact only members attended. The minority view - held by me and by one other board member also from outside Wellington - held that UniForum NZ exists primarily in order to provide the conference. Since NZNOG's involvement contributes substantially to the conference, it is therefore a good thing. Attracting UniForum membership is good, but not the purpose of the conference. The board decided that all attendees at the upcoming conference should be members of UniForum NZ. This has the potential to be a problem, but it is not yet clear to me how large a problem. No final decision has yet been made on registration charges for this year's conference, but a figure for ordinary registrants of around $200 per day including morning and afternoon teas and lunch seems likely. Arrangements regarding dinner are still being considered. An "early bird" registration offer of noticeably less than that is planned. At present, UniForum NZ's annual subscription is $85 including GST. To add this figure to the sort of registration charge previously discussed on this list would make a noticeable difference to the amount people are being asked to pay. Among the issues now being considered by UniForum NZ is what sort of organisation it wants to be. If it decides to take something like the minority view of itself, it has the option of cutting its overheads and reducing its annual subscription to something low enough that bundling it in with a conference registration would not be a problem. This will be considered in the next couple of months, but I cannot predict the outcome of that consideration. This discussion came as something of a surprise to me, but it appears that Linux User Group members with whom this has been discussed do not have a problem with this level of registration charge. The first question then becomes how much money NZNOG people are willing to part with to attend. $200 per day is not bad when compared to commercial training of any kind, but is significantly more than the amounts that have been discussed on this list in the past. A rate well below that is to be available to those who register early. I'd like to hear (to me, not the list please) from anyone who'd plan to attend at a cost of around $200 for two days but have a problem paying more than that, and from anyone who'd attend at a cost of around $300 for two days but have a problem paying more than that. And what happens if I hear from lots of people? I'm not sure. For now I simply intend to see how many people get back to me over the next couple of days. -- Donald Neal Special Operations Network Delivery Telecom New Zealand Ltd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
