BGP Map 2015 edition
by Blair Harrison 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hi All I've just made up a new version of my DFZ Map, taking routeviews data and making it somewhat visible.. FWIW there is about 20Mb of json data on the page, so you probably don't want to load it from your phone. http://jedi.school.nz/sg2015/ Note, I haven't included anything other than routeviews.org data so the APE/WIX/etc peerings aren't included in this version. There was a bit of feedback from the last version that it would be good to search by ASN as well as name, so you can do that in this version. All feedback welcome on or offlist. Cheers, Blair

BCP for BGP
by Jamie Baddeley 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

HI Folks, One of our colleagues from AUSNOG mentioned this, and I thought it'd be worth reposting here as I'd imagine it's required reading for many of you (which I'm sure you have of course!). Cheers jamie RFC7454 - "BGP Operations and Security" https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7454 "Abstract The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the protocol almost exclusively used in the Internet to exchange routing information between network domains. Due to this central nature, it is important to understand the security measures that can and should be deployed to prevent accidental or intentional routing disturbances. This document describes measures to protect the BGP sessions itself such as Time to Live (TTL), the TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO), and control-plane filtering. It also describes measures to better control the flow of routing information, using prefix filtering and automation of prefix filters, max-prefix filtering, Autonomous System (AS) path filtering, route flap dampening, and BGP community scrubbing."

New RIPE Atlas anchor in New Zealand
by Sebastian Castro 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Dear community: We'd like to announce that the first of two RIPE Atlas [1] anchors [2] sponsored by NZRS has been installed in Auckland North Shore, and became active this morning. The anchor support both v4 and v6. This is the second anchor in New Zealand, the first hosted at Waikato University. The second anchor will be installed in Wellington at a later time, once some network architecture work is completed. NZRS is committed to support Internet research and network measurement, we are also Atlas ambassadors and we have Atlas Probes [3] available to distribute. If you are interested on hosting one for your own benefit and the benefit of the community, please contact me. We are currently using the Atlas probes located in New Zealand to conduct a topology discovery experiment from which you will hear in the coming weeks.

beating bufferbloat with better hardware
by Dave Taht 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

When I was at the nznog conference there was a lot of despair about a lot of aspects of the fiber deployment, and the quality of the home gateways, and what seemed to be promising plans to try to get openwrt with fq_codel running on nzwrt... did you all despair completely? I talked about all the great things we could do to improve our devices with openwrt, and and beat bufferbloat in particular with fq_codel in my talk... and since then I have worked to get fq_codel in more and more OSes and hardware. UBNT has added configuration tools for it in their upcoming edgerouter 1.7 release. VyOS just added it. It is in click. It is in fedora 22. It is spreading (And of course, already in all modern linuxes, openwrt, dd-wrt, ipfire, shorewall, etc). There was no sign of a pulse at tilera or mikrotik, but I will keep trying. Still... to one day get hardware that has low latency and good queue management at gigE speeds or higher requires better hardware offloading techniques than the bulk notions like GRO and TSO that exist today. And it has long been obvious that the rate limiting + fq_codel techniques we use successfully at sub 200mbit speeds do not scale higher. So the algorithms need to move into hardware, also. *******so... a brief commercial interruption***** I think the open source design method has worked spectacularly for software, and I think the same methods can work for hardware if only we can pull together larger communities to do the work, worldwide. There are only 24 hours left on this kickstarter - we CAN *start* to take back the edge of the internet - if we can only find another 5k of funding. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onetswitch/onetswitch-open-source-hard… This FPGA board´s pcie interface and switch design - and the split memory interfaces between the programmable logic and the onboard dual A9 core - and reducing the cost from 7000 to 700 bucks - are the important parts to why the community needs this board - in my case - so that more of htb + fq_codel can move into hardware that anyone can build and use - in other cases? who knows what could be done with it!? One day, we could move the logic into asics, and finally have open source, blob-free hardware to work with for any network purpose. There are people on these lists with money, and there are those with talent and time, and it would be great if more of those people could line up with each other. I put in all I could spare (8500 dollars) into this kickstarter. I have one of their high end boards, already. It´s great. There is a get one give one program that I asked meshsr to put in to try and enable that event. If there is anyone here that would like to help hack together the next generation of edge network hardware, after this kickstarter completes, let me know. I return you now to your normal despair about vendors not listening, and crappy OSes you can´t otherwise fix. -- Dave Täht We CAN make better hardware, ourselves, beat bufferbloat, and take back control of the edge of the internet! If we work together, on making it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onetswitch/onetswitch-open-source-hard…

Hosting for test server - recommendations?
by Richard Nelson 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi, We want to perform some testing of consumer broadband connections over the next three months. We are looking for somewhere to host a server for throughput testing. Happy to pay. The main requirements are for a neutral site well connected to all the major ISPs and for a network connection to easily handle (i.e. not limit) throughput for consumer speed connections - up to 200Mb/s (not gigatown). The testing will be for about 5 mins worth of streams per hour from an equal mix of ADSL, VDSL and UFB with tests staggered to occur one at a time. Testing repeats every hour. We can lease or provide our own server. If we get really lucky we'd like one site in Auckland and one not in Auckland. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks, Richard Nelson WAND Network Research Group.

Re: [nznog] openwrt capable routers for NZ?
by Ray Taylor 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

I understand as its generic firmware, I assume there will be many different compatible hardware options. The big thing though is the voip needs to be capable which may reduce your compatibility list. The market in NZ has dramatically changed with computer stores selling less and less routers, and the home users just using the router issued free from their ISP. And to make it work for an ISP in a fibre world, it needs to have a built in voip ATA Software: - WAN/LAN bridge mode - uPNP - IPv4 / IPv6 - Programmable 0.0.0.0/0 or gateway address when lan + wan in bridge mode - voip must work when in bridge mode. Have had problems with zyxel and others having no gateway address breaking voip when in bridge mode - router must be accessible from behind another nat gateway via a port forward. Enabling WAN admin access doesn’t always make this work with many routers Hardware: - Price point of $40-$50 so we can issue them free with service - A higher priced, higher speed option would be good for fibre based services - 3dbi antenna, 18db tx power - 802.11n 2.4ghz option. We don’t see the need for ac for at least 3 years There was recently a project between geekzone and telecom to build a "standard router for NZ" which was designed to be the perfect one with all the features that the GZ community wanted, could be issued for free by telecom and was capable of being used for DSL and fibre. They got as far as taking bids for the project from companies like huawei and the likes. Most of the features that the GZ community were proposing I found to be useless as an isp supplied router, but it would be worth looking at the feature list. I think a bit of googling might be needed to get to the feature voting page in the forums - it may have been deleted.

Vanuatu Update & Support
by Jonathan Brewer 15 Mar '15

15 Mar '15

Hi All, This morning I spoke with a friend from Vanuatu Government and to another who is CTO for Telsat Pacific, the largest TV operator & #2 ISP. Things are in pretty poor shape, but on the bright side: - Both cellular networks are fine in Port Vila - Internet and email from Telecom Vanuatu is working in Port Vila This makes life a lot easier for coordinating support - which will be needed: - Communication to remote islands is gone. It was all C-band satellite and those big dishes did not fare well. - Telsat lost four towers (that they know about) including their primary transmission site - though they expect to have some connectivity restored today or tomorrow. Vanuatu Government is going to nominate a central point of contact for offers of assistance relating to ICT. When that information is available and when they are ready for contact from you it will be posted here. Thanks to those who have already offered hardware and engineering resources - those offers have probably made the days of a few people in Vanuatu today. Thanks, Jon P.S. I'm in the wrong timezone for this (GMT -1) so it may not be me posting with an update.

openwrt capable routers for NZ?
by Dave Taht 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

at the end of my talk someone asked me what routers I would recomend to try this stuff on here, and I sort of dodged the question. If you can come up with a list of routers available here (meet me later?), I can tell you what I know about each chipset. (I have evaluated dozens of these over the last year...) In general ath9k based gear is currently best (entirely open wifi driver), with nearly every manufacturer shipping stuff based on that. I see there is a lot of ubnt here, and most of their older products are well supported by openwrt. There is some good work beginning on the latest round of chipsets, but by and large the firmware for 802.11ac is closed.... And so on. I should also point out that there are plenty of other OSes available, and that I'm opposed to a monoculture of any hardware/software combination.

I tried a few of the bigger providers and many tell me I can have VDSL but either don't come back to me or turn around and say "sorry, mate, can't" Anyone on the list that knows someone who might get anything faster than a 3G link to that address?

Re: [nznog] [Cerowrt-devel] ping loss "considered harmful"

I had spoken to someone at nznog that promised to combine mrtg + smokeping or cacti + smokeping so as to be able to get long term latency and bandwidth numbers on one graph. cc added.

In the main (modern - I don't know what version you have) sqm code, IF you enable dscp squashing on inbound (the default), you do end up with a single fq_codel queue, not 3, no classification or ping prioritization. (it is the default because of all the re-marking I have seen from comcast) So if you are, as I am, monitoring your boxes from the outside, there is no classification and prioritization present for ping. do a tc -s qdisc show ifbwhatever (varies by platform) to see how many queues you have.

I keep hoping multiple (many!) someones here will go have lunch with their company's oft lonely, oft starving sysadmin(s), to ask them what they are doing as to firewalling, QoS and traffic shaping.

I find that an offer of saki and sushi are most conducive to getting that conversation started.

<http://techliberty.org.nz/the-gcsbs-brake-on-innovation/> Excerpt: Trying to do the same in NZ, but govt's TICSA legislation makes deploying SDN/NFV in backbone networks challenging http://t.co/91MUpxfOnw — Steve Cotter (@SteveCotter) February 22, 2015 [...] So this is a statement by the CEO of a government owned company whose purpose is to "establish and operate the Advanced Network in order to promote education, research and innovation for the benefit of New Zealand" saying that they can't do the research and development work they need to do because the bureaucrats in the NCSC at the GCSB are holding them back. -- Michael

openwrt on mikrotiks (rb750, rb951) with openvswitch
by Sam Russell 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

After getting carried away coding at the SDN workshop this week I've gone and flashed an RB750 with the latest openwrt (chaos calmer), and discovered that the package/dependency management lacks the finesse of something like debian/ubuntu: root(a)OpenWrt:~# opkg install openvswitch Installing openvswitch (2.3.1-0dfed4ba9c8a16a1f316d709b7831a4e139472d4) to root... Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/mikrotik/packages/packa…. Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for openvswitch: * kmod-udptunnel4 * kmod-udptunnel6 * * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package openvswitch. digging deeper, it appears that kmod-udptunnel is built for ar71xx/nand (https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/nand/packages/base/) but not for the mikrotik fork (https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/mikrotik/packages/base/) questions: - has anyone got this running? im going to build kmod-udptunnel from source and then opkg install openvswitch, but was hoping i wouldn't have to - does anyone have a preference for ar71xx-mikrotik over ar71xx-nand? i know Dean has deployed ovs from source on older mikrotiks running attitude adjustment, who else is playing in this space? cheers sam

Loading of IRD.govt.nz taking 30-50 seconds of late
by Barry Murphy 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Morning all, Wondering if anyone else is noticing that the ird website is taking quite some time to load, has been happening since late last week or earlier this week judging from reports. Tested from our network and also on 4G from Spark, same issue. Looking at a debug of the page, we get a 301 after 25 seconds, then we get a 24 second delay for a 200 OK then things start loading a bit later out of a cache from the looks. If anyone that looks after the IRD infrastructure is on the list, feel free to reply offlist. Many thanks -- Kind regards, Barry Murphy / Chief Operating Officer

increasing number of blacklisted NZ public IP addresses
by Daniel Christie 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello all, I'm working for a small web/mail hosting company. I've recently noticed a lot of blacklisted IP addresses from NZ based ISPs being dished out, part of our intrusion prevention methods involve denying connections from these addresses. How do these blacklisted IP addresses get unlisted? Is it the responsibility of the customers of these ISPs or it is the responsibility of the ISP? Daniel Christie

ATS Switch for 1-3 Devices
by Mark Foster 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hiya folks, Looking for a cost-effective solution to automatically switch a non-redundantly-powered device between redundant power supplies. For example running a single switch between a UPS-backed power supply and a direct-mains power supply, so that I have some tolerance should the mains supply to the UPS fail (or the UPS itself). Essentially something like this: http://www.cdlnz.com/index.html?do=viewproduct&p=NR605&code=RP-ATS But i'm looking for something relatively small and for a relatively low number of devices (say anywhere from 1 to 3). I'm also not necessarily looking for >10A 240V; the gear that'll be being run, is quite low current. Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks Mark.

Bi-lateral peering sessions
by Tim Hoffman 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Kind folk of New Zealand, A while ago, when I was at Citylink, we had some very interesting discussions on what the community believed the role of the route server infrastructure was in our exchanges. At the time, Citylink had announced that they were no longer going to require every operator to submit prefix lists to them for enforcement. In my opinion, Citylink moved to the correct way of acting; not providing a level of route filtering for the community, but instead putting it onto each ISP to enforce their own BGP security. It was interesting to me how much people had placed a reliance on the route servers and their enforcing a route policy on behalf of them, rather than taking responsibility for this themselves. I recall that in this discussion on the list Dean Pemberton, Michael Fincham, and Andy Linton made some excellent points about this. One of the interesting things about New Zealand and IXs is the lack of bi-lats or routing control used across the peering exchanges. In many IXs worldwide, the route servers are only considered to be the initial stage of setting up on an IX (if you used them at all). An ISP or content provider would reach out to all the peers that they did any level of traffic to and request a bi-lateral BGP session, which they would enforce their own route policies on, and filter routes in both directions on this session to appropriately manipulate traffic. In light of the issues this afternoon on APE, I wonder all of us putting some effort into bi-lats with our major peers is worthy of discussion? Also interesting is the attached graph of aggregate traffic on AKL-IX, showing the value of having multiple IXs in Auckland for resiliency. Cheers, Hoff [image: Inline image 2]

I realise that this isn’t a telephony support line but with the proliferation of VoIP I am hoping some of the people on the list might be able to help. We are getting call failures to completely random Massey DDI’s, Spark have traced the calls and are confident they leave their network and Vodafone are doing the same and do not believe the calls enter theirs. The call’s terminate on a system which plays the following voice prompt twice and then ends the call. “Your alternative network call is unable to proceed at this time, please try again later”. The voice is a pleasant Kiwi (though I’m not a linguist so might not be) female. If anyone can put their hand up and say, "yes that’s one of ours" or anyone has heard or know where this recording might be coming from it might help. The calls are definitely going somewhere and if we, Massey/Spark/Vodafone can work out the where it might help pinpoint the how. I know this is a long shot but we are running out of ideas.

The SDN Workshop - 18 & 19 February 2015 in Wellington
by Dean Pemberton 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

Given that the SDN tutorial at NZNOG was packed, I thought this might be of interest to people. There are a few seats left and on Friday it's being opened up to students. If you're interested then get in touch via the email below. ---------- http://ecs.victoria.ac.nz/Events/SDNWorkshop Future generation networking systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are networked, organised, configured, optimized, and recovered automatically based on their operating situation. With the emergence of Software Defined Networks (SDN), context awareness and dynamic adaptive services and application are gaining much attention since they allow automatic configuration of devices and their parameters, systems, services, and applications to user's context change. In addition, context awareness, with the help of software defined and cognitive systems, allows customisation of operating parameters of devices, users, applications, and networks based on the current context. This first workshop intends to introduce software defined networking concepts and practice for people new to the field. The workshop will also be a forum for practitioners from industry, academia and government to exchange ideas, present new results and provide future vision on these topics. The morning sessions will consist of talks, while the afternoon sessions will be more hands-on. To make the most of the afternoon sessions, you should have some basic programming experience (we will be using Python) and you need to bring a laptop. ________________________________ Date: 18th and 19th February 2015 Venue : Room 413, Railway building, Pipitea Campus, 1 Bunny Street, Wellington. Time: 9a.m - 5p.m (both days). Registration cost: NZD 50.00 per participant. Refreshments will be provided.

The prpl foundation is attempting to become an umbrella arm of the openwrt folk and reaching out for feedback. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eric Schultz <eschultz(a)prplfoundation.org> Date: Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 8:41 AM Subject: [Cerowrt-devel] OpenWrt conference survey To: "cerowrt-devel(a)lists.bufferbloat.net" <cerowrt-devel(a)lists.bufferbloat.net> tl;dr: prpl is gauging interest in an OpenWrt conference via a short survey at http://bit.ly/1BWKWFP -- All, My name's Eric Schultz and I'm the Community Manager at prpl Foundation. I've created a survey to gauge the community's interest in prpl Foundation organizing an OpenWrt conference. Since CeroWrt is based on OpenWrt, I think folks in the CeroWrt community might also be interested in an OpenWrt conference. As background, prpl participates in the OpenWrt community through our members directly as well as our working group, prplwrt. Organizing an OpenWrt conference is one more way in which we can support and strengthen the OpenWrt community. We'd like to know if there's support in the community for a conference dedicated to OpenWrt. Topics at a conference could include: * How to develop your own flavor of OpenWrt (like CeroWrt) * Securing OpenWrt * Question and answer with the core OpenWrt team We're excited at the prospect of organizing a conference for the community. If you have any interest in an OpenWrt conference, please complete the survey at your earliest convenience. The survey is at http://bit.ly/1BWKWFP Thanks for your time and your commitment to CeroWrt. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
