(copied back to NZNOG as it is semi-operational and others may be able to chip in) Sorry Criggie, not certain as I don't know enough about CGN to say. I had just assumed CGNs would would handle non-80/443 TCP traffic! Otherwise you can't get your lulz catz emails without webmail?! If you're ring-fenced behind http then yeah that's somewhat restrictive. For what I'm using them for (quick remote tool for 1 person), I just use SSH outbound over a high TCP port into a (free :) EC2 instance that I reactivate when needed. The TCP session is kept alive with a minimal trickle of data until I'm ready to log in over it (Pi just keeps trying periodically if server is down because EC2 instance is paused). So if they (cell carrier) only pass TCP/80 & 443 (and then probably transparently proxied & sanity-checked for HTTP compliance etc too?!), then no, I think maybe my wee boxes probably wouldn't work behind that. I do trigger a periodic 'call home with stats' poll over https as well, and that would probably get through, but the tunnel itself needs that high TCP port to operate. I did set them up for IPv6 tunnels concurrent to the v4 ones though, and that can can actually sometimes be quite useful as sometimes one can get in via v6 when one's v4 is down! I don't suppose there is any chance your cell provider does IPv6? If not then I guess tunnelling over DNS or maybe over HTTP or HTTPS might be the only option to get through that; and if they're mucking with the POSTs then maybe even that couldn't get through!

Thoughts about IP Transit
by Skeeve Stevens 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hey all, There was a discussion recently on Ausnog about Transit, so I was inspired to make a video about some of my thoughts on the subject. I've done this video as my ISP Guy thing, and I thought I would share it as you might find it useful or interesting. It isn't meant to stir up people, but I am sure it may, especially those selling transit in a certain way. This video is more about educating people about the value of transit in certain kinds of ways. It is about 14 mins long, but I'd like to know what you thought if you have time to watch it. http://theispguy.com/thoughts-about-transit/ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpq_jOMEmdM The pricing I mention in the video is mostly relevant to Australia and I realise pricing is somewhat different in NZ. That brings up a question... what is the pricing of transit in NZ and what ways are people selling it? Are terms 6, 12, 18, 24 months? What is the average price you are seeing? Does pricing drop much at scale? Who are the key providers of quality transit? Is there a demand for 1:1 in NZ? or is a little contention ok? Just a few questions so I can understand the NZ market a bit more and in future perhaps include that in my commentary. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.co.nz ; www.eintellegonetworks.co.nz Phone: +612 8014 7398; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering

POSTing problems.
by Steve Holdoway 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Sorry, small fry here looking for guidance. I have a couple of websites running on separate VPSes at Optus in Sydney, and they are showing exactly the same symptoms: they seem to be working fine if routing from NZ via Voda or TC / Vocus, but if using Telecom, they can't POST anything at all - can view webstes no bother, but logging in, filling in forms, forget it. Any ideas? I set up both sites so may have done something weird ( I'm on voda! ) and not noticed. Quote from forum user - pretty succinct: "At work - no problems - we use a Telstra/Voda link to Oz then out to the world through corporate IT there. Works like a dream. Response times are <1ms. On mobile 3/4G via Vodafone it works okay, no performance or login issues that I can tell. At home, my old man's place, and the in-laws place, all Telecom (and Wi-Fi onto my iDevices) it is okay to browse without being logged in but as soon as you log in it either 1.) logs you straight out of whatever page your on when you navigate to another page, or 2.) it runs like arse and won't let you post, then logs you out. Basically unusable." Is this a known problem with a simple fix, or have I stuffed up???

Question on Extreme VMAN
by Jodi Thomson 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi All Currently we have a Cisco ME3400 handing the qinq for our fibre connection. However it only has 2xGig ports so have to uplink to a separate switch in the core to keep everything at a gig. Before purchasing new kit we have a couple of Extreme X450e switches. Their qinq implementation VMAN is supposedly compatible, providing Ethertype is set correctly. However documentation is a little light on details regarding configuration so I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with it. Current Cisco config below - can it be duplicated using VMAN? Off list replies are fine interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description Connects to Core port-type nni switchport mode trunk switchport vlan mapping 12,101,1200-1202 dot1q-tunnel 503 switchport vlan mapping 600-649 dot1q-tunnel 501 switchport vlan mapping 650-700 dot1q-tunnel 502 switchport vlan mapping default drop ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 description Connects to Fibre port-type nni switchport mode trunk media-type sfp Thanks in advance, beer Cheers Jodi

Vodafone New Zealand - access to recursive resolvers
by David Robb 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

To all members, Vodafone New Zealand will start blocking external access to the recursive DNS servers of the former TelstraClear network to non-customers as of July 3rd 2014. Some of our former customers or other users with Vodafone modems may have the IP addresses of our DNS servers set up on their devices. With that in mind, we'd like to notify you that from midnight 01 July 2014 we will stop providing DNS resolution for external non-Vodafone users, resulting in such customers being unable to browse the internet. The affected DNS servers are at the following IP addresses: 203.97.33.14 203.97.37.14 203.97.78.43 203.97.78.44 Vodafone customers who need help with this change can contact the Vodafone Technical Contact Centre on 0800 438 448.

Transit Questions (IPv6, MTU, EDNS)
by Alexander Neilson 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi All I am looking to see what others experiences are with transit providers. Mainly I am wondering about IPv6 Support and MTU Sizes >From talking to my upstream providers it appears that 1500MTU is the limit I have access to, and one of my two upstreams doesn’t provide IPv6 for transit. This leads my to a few logical questions: * How many transit providers provide MTU above 1500 Bytes? * How many transit providers do not provide IPv6 transit? * How do others handle EDNS? I was doing some looking around our systems a while back and I found a default setting in the Bind9 version we were running that set EDNS to 4096 Bytes. Now all of our transit is limited it seems to 1500 Bytes, so I set the config to limit the announced support down into the usable range by us and saw a reduction in the need for DNS retries. Do other people just have better handling of fragmentation? Do you find any issues having EDNS announcing support for sizes above your transit? do you just have transit that supports MTU over 1500 Bytes? And a big issue in my opinion is the lack of IPv6 support from transit providers. I am not sure about other providers but it will be one deciding factor when purchasing transit going forward. Happy to receive information off list if people don’t want to name on here. Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Limited alexander(a)neilson.net.nz 021 329 681 022 456 2326

Linux.conf.au 2015 in Auckland - Call for Proposals
by Simon Lyall 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

=== linux.conf.au Call For Proposals === The call for proposals for linux.conf.au 2015 is now open! The conference is a meeting place for the free and open source software communities. It will be held in Auckland at the University of Auckland Business School from Monday 12 to Friday 16 January, 2015, and provides a unique opportunity for open source developers, students, users and hackers to come together, share new ideas and collaborate. === Important Dates === * Call for Proposals opens 9 June 2014 * Call for Proposals closes 13 July 2014 * Email acceptances start September 2014 * Early bird registrations open 23 September 2014 * Conference dates: Monday 12 January to Friday 16 January, 2015 === Information on Proposals === The linux.conf.au 2015 papers committee is looking for a broad range of proposals, and will consider submissions on anything from programming and software, to desktop, mobile, gaming, userspace, community, government, space, and education. There is only one rule: *Your proposal must be related to open source* This year, the papers committee is going to be focused on open source in education as well as our usual focus on deep technical content. The conference is to a large extent what the speakers make it: if we receive heaps of excellent submissions on a topic, then itâ€™s sure to be represented at the conference. Hereâ€™s a few ideas to get you started: * Clouds, data centers and scalability. * Community challenges; legal threats; education and outreach. * Documentation for open source projects. * HTML5; multimedia codecs. * Kernel developments; new architectures. * Open hardware; embedded systems; wearable computing. * Security; privacy; anonymity. * Networking; Software defined networking; bufferbloat; network function virtualization. * Software development; programming languages. * Sysadmin and automation. linux.conf.au is known for presentations and tutorials that are strongly technical in nature, but proposals for presentations on other aspects of free software and open culture, such as educational and cultural applications of open source, are welcome. === Code of Conduct === linux.conf.au welcomes first-time and seasoned speakers from all free and open communities: people of all ages, genders, nationalities, ethnicities, backgrounds, religions, abilities, and walks of life. We respect and encourage diversity at our conference.

Re: [nznog] Power event in Sky tower
by Martin Spencer 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi Everyone. I am Martin Spencer, the owner of The Data Centre at 220 Queen Street. I have been following the thread on the Auckland Peering Exchange and thought it would be useful to bring you up to date with some recent changes in my data centre. We now have two generators and have just completed construction of our own sub-station to service the whole building instead of Vector's old one. We have never had a complete power outage, though in the early days we did experience an outage on one UPS. I then had all the UPSs modified to try and ensure it wouldn't happen again. I would like to confirm that we do not charge monthly cross-connect fees. The only charge is for setting up the connection and that is based on what it costs to run the cable. Since I do not and never will supply bandwidth I am carrier neutral and have always hoped that I could encourage people to peer in my facility. If a formal peering exchange were to be set up here I would not want to be involved in the administration. I would do all I could to support and encourage it but would continue with my current philosophy of concentrating on making the physical infrastructure (aircon, power, security) as robust and reliable as possible. If one or a group of you would like to meet with me to discuss how we can improve our facilities and make them more transparent and available to you, please contact me.

old MAC 48-bit addresses that seem to be Local not Universal
by Jim Cheetham 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

I've just been writing some guidance for our internal network that will help people to use manually-allocated MAC addresses rather than hardware ones. In order to indicate that these are Locally Administered MAC addresses properly, I need to set the "second-least-significant but of the most significant byte of the address", and to make them normal Unicast addresses the last bit should be a zero; therefore the last two bits will be "10" and unless my calculator has died converting things :-) in the standard hex representation the second character must be one of 2,6,A or E ... So to double-check, I grabbed the current OUI list from IEEE http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.txt and found 18 entries that match this pattern & therefore look like Local addresses. $ egrep -i '^ +.[26AE]-' tmp/oui.txt 02-07-01 (hex) RACAL-DATACOM 02-1C-7C (hex) PERQ SYSTEMS CORPORATION 02-60-86 (hex) LOGIC REPLACEMENT TECH.

11 Jun '14

Doing something interesting in the Internetworking space? Submit an NZNOG conference paper and you could win a trip to the next APRICOT meeting in Bangkok Thailand! -------- The NZNOG organising committee invites papers for its 13th annual conference, to be hosted at the Distinction Hotel, Rotorua, New Zealand from 26 - 30th January 2015. There will the three day Workshops 26 – 28 January, a day of tutorials on 28 January with the main conference on 29 – 30 January. The best local conference paper as judged by the trustees in association with the programme committee will win a trip to APRICOT 2015, to be held jointly with APAN 39 in Fukuoka, Japan, from February 24th to March 6th 2015. Umm that’s right, an all[1] expenses paid trip to JAPAN!!!! It's a real thing. Two people have won this in previous years and to be honest they seemed pretty happy with the prize. Conference objective: The NZNOG conference, workshops and tutorials are a once-a-year 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. Submit a paper: Presenters are invited to submit abstracts of their paper for consideration by Monday 20th October. Abstracts should be no more than one page long and provide a summary of your networking-related subject matter. Please note that full slide decks will be required by 17th November. To submit your paper please e-mail: talks(a)nznog.org When considering a presentation, remember that the NZNOG audience is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in SIGs and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators in the conference sessions. Note: The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals is not compulsory but will help us determine the quality of your proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted. The organising committee will evaluate proposals based on fit with the conference’s objective and its ability to stimulate lively discussions around the current state of New Zealand networking. The best local paper will be judged by a selection of the trustees and the programme committee. It will be expected the best paper is submitted by the winner for presentation at APRICOT. More details on paper submission can be found at http://www.nznog.org/call-for-papers For more information about the conference visit www.nznog.org or contact: talks(a)nznog.org [1] where 'all' means Return Flights, Accommodation and Conference Fees.

ALL GOLD SPONSOR SLOTS FILLED: Re: NZNOG2015 Sponsorship update: Platinum sponsor announcement and opportunity to be the last GOLD sponsor
by Dean Pemberton 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Well that was quick... And the last GOLD sponsor for the 2015 conference is: "AS45177 - Vibe Communications" Thanks guys! Silver and Community spots are still available at the 2014 price. I've also had some queries about the Bandwidth Sponsor. We'll be doing that as part of a separate process which I'll announce soon. It's just too important to leave up to a first come first served thing. You would all kill me if we got the network wrong.

NZNOG2015 Sponsorship update: Platinum sponsor announcement and opportunity to be the last GOLD sponsor
by Dean Pemberton 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi Everyone, I've got some more information regarding the conference. This one concerns sponsorship, so if you're a company who generally sponsors NZNOG tune in. If I interrupted you from BGP config, then as you were. As part of feedback from sponsors in previous years, we've made some changes to the way that the NZNOG conference sponsorship packages are structured. 1) We've limited the numbers at the top end. Sponsors were concerned that they were only 'one of many'. We've limited the number of slots to: Platinum: 1 slot Gold: 3 slots Silver: 5 slots Community: 6 shots We've also kept slots for things like "Networking Drinks" "Conference Dinner" and "Bandwidth Sponsor" so people can tailor what they want to support. Once the slots are filled however, thats it until the following year. We will be running tier wait-lists on a first come, first served basis. Which brings us to.... 2) In the following year. Existing sponsors will be given first right of refusal for their sponsorship spots. AusNOG works this way and the feedback from sponsors was that it allowed them a greater ability to plan ahead. There will be a cut off date within which the existing sponsor can re-confirm. If they don't then the spot will be offered to the next company on the wait-list for that tier. 3) We're also lifting the dollar amount for each of the sponsor tiers. Phew, Thats out the way. So under those new guidelines, the trustees approached the 2014 conference sponsors and offered them first preference at the slots. I'm happy to say that we've filled our PLATINUM sponsor slot this year with a long time supporter... ******* Go Wireless NZ Ltd. ******* Thanks to Dale and his team for continuing to be a great supporter of NZNOG. We've also filled all but one of our allocated GOLD sponsor slots with Vocus Citylink. So there's only one more Gold slot left. We're also running an early bird special. If you confirm NZNOG2015 sponsorship slots before the 31st of July, we'll invoice you at the 2014 rate rather than the new 2015 rate. For GOLD this is a 50% saving! So if you're an organisation who would like that GOLD spot, now is the time to make that commitment. You can download the sponsor document here (http://goo.gl/mdhu6p) and email sponsorship(a)nznog.org to register your interest. See you all at the conference! Regards, Dean

Alcatel-Lucent/Nuage 7850 - Nethui Opportunity to Play
by Joel Wirāmu Pauling 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi all, I will be up at NetHui and have my hands on a somewhat desirable piece of SDN kit. Namely the ALU 7850. In a nutshell it's an SDN targeted switch 96Ports of 10G+/40G QSFP in a 1U rack, talks openflow, and also has a bunch of Controller stuff courtesy of Nuage.It is designed to act as the Datacentre to Carrier gateway, but it's just a fairly neat piece of hardware. I've had it on my desk for a while and would quite like some SDN boffins who have some use cases to have a poke around with it. Would be very interested in seeing some inter-op with some existing OpenFlow kit. Anyone interested in having a play at Nethui/Intac please let me know in advance. If I get no takers then I probably will avoid lugging it up to Auckland. Kind regards -Joel

Netflix/Verizon battle heats up
by Tony Wicks 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/netflix-refuses-to-comply-with-ve rizons-cease-and-desist-demands/ This is really interesting in how it relates to the active de-peering of New Zealand's two largest ISP's 10+ years ago. We still have the situation where the gang of two demand paid peering and everyone just has to accept it as a fact. I am guessing that just as the gang of two have installed Akamai and Google caches they will install Netflix (and Hulu?) caches once these guys pry some content rights off Sky, but it is still quite incredible that the existing streaming providers (I assume) need to pay to deliver this content only to these two providers as they are big enough to strong arm them.

Tools for automatically summarising CIDR notation list?
by Neil Gardner 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

My Google-fu has failed me. It defies logic that there aren’t tools (application, Excel based or online) which will take a list of CIDR formatted prefixes and spit out an optimally summarised list also in CIDR notation. I however, can’t find them. Neither can my friends. I have seen an excel sheet which almost does it, but it requires significant manual interaction and I think it relies on zero point energy and/or wizards magic to work… and I don’t understand it well. Any pointers? And no, doing it in my head isn’t feasible J Cheers – Neil G

Exciting program confirmed for the 2014 InTAC Conference
by Dean Pemberton 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi Everyone. This is a plug for the 2014 Internet Technical Architecture Conference. The program has just been finalised and we've got some exciting speakers. InTAC is on the first day of the NetHui conference on the 9th of July at SkyCity in Auckland. It is pitched at people in a technical architecture role and has a theme of looking at emerging technologies and how these can help shape the architecture of the New Zealand Internet. Registration for the event is free and can be done via the NetHui registration system (http://nethui.org.nz/) This year the conference has three themes with the following speakers: ***Future-Proof Networking*** "Software Defined Networking at RMIT" Paul Zanna - Senior Manager, Infrastructure Innovation and Design Information Technology Services (ITS) RMIT University, Melbourne Australia RMIT has recently developed and deployed a proof of concept network using SDN and OpenFlow technologies. Paul will present the high level details of this real-world pilot along with some of the business drivers which helped RMIT make such a decision. "Panel - Our Future Plans for making use of UFB" Some of the largest users of the UFB network give us an insight into the sorts of ways they are using it. The panel will then discuss how they would like to see the UFB network develop to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of New Zealanders into the next decade. Panelists: Dave Mill - Network Specialist - Inspire Net Simon Allard - Senior Network Architect - Orcon David Redmore - Head of Broadband and Internet - Telecom New Zealand Geoff D’Audney - Technology Leadership Team - Vodafone New Zealand Others TBC ***Security*** "Future Uses of DNSSEC" Geoff Huston - Chief Scientist - APNIC Geoff will take a look at both DNSSEC deployment as well as the benefits which the technology will enable. Technologies like DANE which would allow organisations to take control of generating their own SSL certificates and publishing them in DNS, without the need for Certification Authority" "RPKI - How to stop your network being hijacked" New Zealand Registry Services (NZRS) will present an overview of this emerging technology as well as some of the work they will be doing to promote its deployment locally "TICSA - What it means for network architects" With the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013 now a reality it is critically important that network architects are aware of their legislative obligations. Representatives from the National Cyber Security Centre will present their view of how the reporting requirements of the act effect network architecture decisions. ***Authentication*** "Architecting an Authenticated/Trusted Internet" Richard Foy - General Manager, Digital Transformation, Department of Internal Affairs Richard is responsible for leading the push for New Zealanders to be able to complete their transactions with government easily in a digital environment. His goal is to open the way to an average of 70 per cent of New Zealanders' most common transactions with government being completed in a digital environment by 2017. He will present his vision of an Authenticated, Trusted Internet "2FA, been there done that" Adam Fier - Architecture and Security Manager - Victoria University of Wellington Adam has worked for a number of organisations who have implemented 2 Factor Authentication both internally and externally. He will present some of his experiences with deploying 2FA systems along with his view on the importance of 2FA in today's network connected organisations" -- Dean Pemberton Technical Policy Advisor InternetNZ +64 21 920 363 (mob) dean(a)internetnz.net.nz To promote the Internet's benefits and uses, and protect its potential.

Wireless link suggestions for audio and remote control (IP)
by Darren Moss 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hi All, We have been looking at the Ubiquiti 5.8GHz outdoor wireless solutions for moving data between locations, of which we have 2. The first location is in Auckland CBD, on top of two buildings about 8klms apart, where both locations can see each other. The second location is in Tauranga, two building approx 15klms apart, again both locations can see each other (probably better than Auckland). Our goal is to move HD audio and remote control (TeamViewer/VNC type PC and server access) between the locations. The audio is moved via appliances which run over IP - nothing tricky, just needs about 2MBps bandwidth with low latency (we can buffer). Does anybody here have any recommendations on wireless kit / vendors, preferrably a solution that you have either used or seen in use. Many thanks Darren.

Mikrotik+certs+1970
by Sam Russell 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hi all, I'm playing with mikrotiks for VPNs, and one of the "features" is that the RB750's we have don't hold time when they reboot. I'm planning to build them with NTP access (so if they can get internet then they can get time), but I'm also tempted to generate certs backdated to 1970 instead. Is anyone else doing this? How do you get mikrotiks to validate certs if the clock keeps resetting on power off - is relying on NTP the answer? Cheers Sam

APNIC allocated new space - all members eligible to receive an additional /22
by Skeeve Stevens 20 May '14

20 May '14

Hi everyone! This is indeed awesome news for small players out there who need address space. APNIC has been allocated a /11 from IANA (see the reasons below). This means that all current account holders will be eligible to receive an additional /22 under this allocation, in addition to the /22 you were already able to receive under the final /8 policy. This is a huge plus for small providers who need just a little bit on extra space. Just a note. This new allocation should not be seen as a handout for those who will request it and try to immediately sell it. It will follow the same /8 allocation where you will be required to hold on to it (and pay your membership at the new level) for at least a year. Those not prepared to pay the new membership level, shouldn't request it. These new ranges should be available for request sometime next week. Expect an announcement from APNIC. Good times! ...Skeeve =====START OF ANNOUNCEMENT===== ________________________________________________________________________ APNIC to receive additional IPv4 allocation from IANA as 'Recovered Space' to be distributed ________________________________________________________________________ LACNIC's announcement that its inventory of IPv4 addresses has reached less than a /9 (or 8,388,608 addresses) today triggered the activation of IANA's Recovered Pool of addresses. This means IANA will make a distribution to each RIR, including APNIC, every six months until the pool is exhausted. APNIC has received a /11 of IPv4 address space (2,097,152 addresses) from IANA under the Recovered Pool Policy. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/allocation- ipv4-post-exhaustion-2012-05-08-en APNIC will implement procedures for distribution of space from this new allocation of addresses. APNIC Members will be eligible to receive up to a /22 from this pool, in addition to the /22 that they can receive under the last /8 rationing policy. This gives new or existing APNIC Members up to 2,048 IPv4 addresses from these address blocks, while the space is available. APNIC's Director General, Paul Wilson, said reaching this important milestone had two major implications for organizations in the Asia Pacific. ''Firstly, APNIC's receipt of the /11 from IANA will mean that organizations in our region can get a few more addresses, which they sorely need in many cases. Also, newcomers to the Internet will be able to receive these small allocations for some years to come, which is really critical for healthy Internet competition and growth into the future,'' Wilson said. ''The second, and more important message this milestone highlights, is that the journey towards exhaustion of IPv4 address space globally is continuing as expected, and the need for organizations to deploy IPv6 is increasingly urgent,'' he said. ''I again urge the Asia Pacific Internet community to turn its investments toward the transition to IPv6. If you depend on the Internet, then you will depend on IPv6 as a critical part of your business. Now is the time to be asking those who provide you with Internet services and expertise - whether they are ISPs, vendors, data centres, developers, staff, or consultants - how they will support IPv6 services for your in future.'' ''The good news is that costs can be minimized by planning ahead - for instance, by ensuring IPv6 capabilities are gained within the normal hardware and software upgrade cycles.'' APNIC will advise the community when applications for the new IPv4 addresses can be submitted. APNIC account holders who wish to apply for IPv4 addresses from the Recovered IPv4 Pool allocation will be able to do so via MyAPNIC using the standard application process. http://www.myapnic.net All policies for management of IP address space in the Asia Pacific region are determined by the Internet community through an open, consensus-based policy development process that is hosted by APNIC.

IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry updated
by Leo Vegoda 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi, ICANN has updated the IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry after LACNIC notified it that it has less than a total of a /9 in its inventory of IPv4 address space. This triggered the activation the Recovered IPv4 pool, which was created in the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA. The address space selection is made using software that tries to allocate blocks based on the RIR managing the DNS for that /8. The software, along with a worked example, is published at: https://github.com/icann/ The list of allocations can be found at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-recovered-address-space/ipv4-recovered -address-space.xhtml#ipv4-recovered-address-space-2 Kind regards, Leo Vegoda

A vs AAAA
by Mark Foster 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hello learned NZNOG-folks, Many of you have been working hands-on with IPv6 a lot more than I have, so i'll ask this here. In two cases, on two discrete systems, both Windows clients (one a Windows 7 workstation, the other a Windows 2008R2 server) a 'ping'[1] is run against a hostname. In both cases a ping against a v6 IP address is tried (and failed, as the host has no v6 connectivity - and in at least one case, v6 is actually disabled in the network interface settings). A simple 'nslookup' check without specifying the query type returns both IPv6 and IPv4 responses for the hostname. So why is the client trying to ping a v6 address when it has no v6 connectivity? (and for the record, an answer of 'make v6 work' doesn't solve my problem, as much as it might be a simple resolution.) Cheers Mark. [1] as you can probably guess, ping isn't actually the end-use of this connectivity, but it was the first troubleshooting measure used. This is impacting on application-layer connectivity, so 'use-v4-only' ping syntax also doesn't help me. :-)

Average Usage Per Service
by Skeeve Stevens 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hey all, Just doing some math and capacity planning and I am wondering what others use for numbers for the average usage of a service per user? I am working with NBN-like speeds of 12mb, 25, 50 and 100. Back in the day I used to factor it in at around 30% when we were doing dialup and low-speed DSL... and on ADSL2 I normally factored it at around 15%. But I am wondering what people use for NBN-like speeds. I am thinking that a percentage is probably not a realistic measurement anymore as there is no particular reason a 25, 50 or 100mb user would do more or less on average... they just have the capacity to do more. Does anyone else have any thoughts they are willing to share, or even real observations across a significant number (thousands) of customers that they use for bandwidth (agvc and/or transit) planning? Feel free to off-list if you want to keep the information anonymous... I am happy to publish some findings and a spreadsheet for the use of others.

Best Practice - prefix advertisement
by Alexander Neilson 06 May '14

06 May '14

Hi All At $Dayjob I have been working around an aggregation bug in our routers and manually specifying prefix’s at the three levels we operate (/22, /23, /24) and using prefix filters to advertise /24’s to APE / WIX, /23’s to our domestic transit, and only the /22’s to international transit as a method of Traffic Management / Traffic Engineering to utilise cheapest links available. I have been exploring the looking glass services of a number of entities to see what propagates to them (that they enter into the forwarding database) and I am seeing some entities (who announce peering at APE for example) having the /22 and /23 routes in the LG outputs and following the /23 path in trace route. I am asking for two fold information. Can someone / everyone point me at their best guide to BGP “Best Practice” regarding advertising prefixes? and also can I get people’s specific advice about what they accept / do to announcements before entering them into their routers as accepted routes and what they would expect to see advertised to ensure my goals are reached. I made these changes to help reduce my contribution to the ballooning of the global routing table but I also don’t want to go to extremes on polluting the APE routing table by advertising the 12 /24’s plus the 6 /23’s and the 3 /22’s. Also can I get consensus information (or peoples opinions) about am I abusing / dis respecting APE with my announcements and how I should structure my announcements to be a respectable citizen here while providing the best hints to my preferred handling of traffic? (and feel free to let me know if I should just announce the /22’s and accept that some people choose to prioritise other paths) Thank you in advance for any input, feel free to reply off list.
