IPSec vendor interoperability war stories
by Mark Goldfinch 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi everyone, I have a business need to support IPSEC tunnels with many different vendors as we don't get to select our partner's equipment vendors. We've had some recent problems with our existing equipment. At the moment we're look at whether whether software upgrades will help our current situation. While we're doing that we're also looking at what other options exist. I'd appreciate anyone's operational experiences between different IPSec vendors, either on-list or to me directly if you want to protect the identities of the not so innocent :-) Beer for those who can offer their experiences! Thanks, -- * *Mark Goldfinch | Systems Team Leader MODICA GROUP nz: +64 4 498 6000

Hi Folks, Anyone want to share their experiences co-siting on one of Vodafone's new RBI funded towers? As I understand there are fixed prices for co-site, backhaul from Chorus, etc.. It should be a pretty sweet deal. If there's anyone from Vodafone listening, I'd appreciate a pointer to a location list, rate card, and application form. I can't find them online. Cheers, Jon

Fwd: [PAG] Fwd: [isoc-advisory-council] STATEMENT: Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology
by Dean Pemberton 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Given that protocols and standards effect NZ network operators, this seems to be on topic. Seeing how IETF handles these issues and rebuilds trust will be interesting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alicia Jackson <jackson(a)isoc.org> Date: 10 September 2013 08:03 Subject: [isoc-advisory-council] STATEMENT: Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology To: "isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org" <isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org> Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology The Internet Society is alarmed by continuing reports alleging systematic United States government efforts to circumvent Internet security mechanisms. The Internet Society President and CEO, Lynn St. Amour, said, “If true, these reports describe government programmes that undermine the technical foundations of the Internet and are a fundamental threat to the Internet’s economic, innovative, and social potential. Any systematic, state-level attack on Internet security and privacy is a rejection of the global, collaborative fabric that has enabled the Internet's growth to extend beyond the interests of any one country.” The Internet Society believes that global interoperability and openness of the Internet are pre-requisites for confidence in online interaction, they unlock the Internet as a forum for economic and social progress, and they are founded on basic assumptions of trust. We are deeply concerned that these principles are being eroded and that users' legitimate expectations of online security are being treated with contempt. As the institutional home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), we believe that open and transparent processes are essential for security standardization, and result in better outcomes than any alternative approach. For example, protocols developed by the IETF are open for all to see, inspect, and verify, as are the open and inclusive processes by which they are specified. IETF Chairman Jari Arkko has strongly reiterated the IETF’s commitment to improving security in the Internet, and to seeking ways of improving security protocols in light of these new revelations and security threats. “The IETF has a long-standing commitment to openness and transparency in developing security protocols for the Internet, and sees this as critical to confidence in their use and implementation.” To read more, visit: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2013/09/security-and-pervasive-monitoring/. However, the open development of robust technical specifications is just one link in the chain. Security standards must be properly implemented and used. This is a wake-up call for technology developers and adopters alike, to reexamine what we can do to ensure that all links in the chain are equally strong. This is key to helping restore public trust and confidence in the Internet. The Internet has tremendous potential for economic and social good, but unless all stakeholders trust the Internet as a safe place for business, social interaction, academic enquiry, and self-expression, those economic and social benefits are put at risk. To fulfill its potential, the Internet must be underpinned by the right combination of technology, operational processes, legislation, policy, and governance. The recent reports suggest that U.S. Government programmes have systematically undermined some or all of those measures, and that is why we view the revelations with such grave concern. With this mind, we issue these calls to action for the global community: • To every citizen of the Internet: let your government representatives know that, even in matters of national security, you expect privacy, rule of law, and due process in any handling of your data. Security is a collective responsibility that involves multiple stakeholders. In this regard, we call on: •Those involved in technology research and development: use the openness of standards processes like the IETF to challenge assumptions about security specifications. •Those who implement the technology and standards for Internet security: uphold that responsibility in your work, and be mindful of the damage caused by loss of trust. •Those who develop products and services that depend on a trusted Internet: secure your own services, and be intolerant of insecurity in the infrastructure on which you depend. •To every Internet user: ensure you are well informed about good practice in online security, and act on that information. Take responsibility for your own security. At the Internet Society, we remain committed to advancing work in areas such as browser security, privacy settings, and digital footprint awareness in order to help users understand and manage their privacy and security. The citizens of the Internet deserve a global and open platform for communication built on solid foundations of security and privacy. _______________________________________________ Isoc-advisory-council mailing list Isoc-advisory-council(a)elists.isoc.org https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/isoc-advisory-council

Orcon IPv6 rDNS delegation
by Jonathan Spence 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hi everyone, Google have just started enforcing PTR records for IPv6 addresses delivering to Gmail. Our IPv6 works great with Orcon but having serious issues getting delegation back to our nameservers setup. I have been told a few times that everything is setup on their end but I don't think it is. Our IP space: 2400:4800:4017::/48 is meant to be sent to ns1.power-business.co.nz and ns2.power-business.co.nz. However it doesn't seem to. For example our website is:2400:4800:4017:200:250:56ff:fe90:82f If I query ns1.power-business.co.nz from my home computer is works fine: -----command----- C:\Users\Jonathan Spence>nslookup 2400:4800:4017:0200:0250:56ff:fe90:082f 60.234.77.213 Server: UnKnown Address: 60.234.77.213 Name: midas.power-business.co.nz Address: 2400:4800:4017:200:250:56ff:fe90:82f ------ end command ----- However other hosts don't resolve this.

Policy Proposals at APNIC36
by Dean Pemberton 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hi all, There are currently 3 policies for consideration at the APNIC 36 meeting Xi'an at the end of August. They are: prop-108 Suggested changes to the APNIC Policy Development Process prop-107 AS number transfer policy proposal prop-105 Distribution of returned IPv4 address (Modification of prop-088) I'll go through briefly what the proposals and where appropriate what I think about them. I'm going to be one of the NZers at the meeting, if there is a point of view that you'd like me to keep in mind during the discussion there then just drop me a line. Regards, Dean prop-108 Suggested changes to the APNIC Policy Development Process ----- Proposed by Dean Pemberton[1] and Izumi Okutani (JPNIC) This proposal seeks to clarify a set of 3 issues with the current PDP which were highlighted during the last meeting in Singapore. The issues are: **Timing Requirements for the Policy-SIG chairs to announce consensus** in the Open Policy Meeting (OPM)** At the moment the Chair calls for consensus on proposals during the OPM and then moves to immediately gauge if consensus has been reached. Due to the nebulous nature of gauging consensus, the Chairs have expressed a desire to be allowed an opportunity to discuss among themselves if consensus has been reached. This proposal seeks to give them this ability as long as a determination on consensus is delivered before the end of the OPM. **Requiring for consensus to be called and demonstrated at the AMM** A historical artefact from the days when there were multiple SIGs within APNIC all producing policy requires that proposals not only gain consensus at their individual OPMs, but also again when the whole membership comes together a day later at the APNIC Members Meeting. This was done to ensure that if there were conflicting policies produced by two SIGs at the same meeting, this would become obvious during the second call for consensus at the AMM and resolved. Now that the Policy-SIG is the only policy-generating body within APNIC, this is no longer necessary and creates confusion as to why a second consensus call is required. This proposal seeks to remove the requirement for a second call for consensus at the AMM unless the SIG Chair deems that it is necessary for any reason. **The length of the required comment period for successful policy proposals after the AMM** Once a policy proposal has gained consensus at the OPM/AMM, it is returned to the mailing list for a comment period lasting 8 weeks. This was historically to allow members not at the OPM/AMM to contribute on the mailing list. In practice there is little to no comment during this time, with all comment on a proposal happening before the OPM. This has the effect of delaying any policy implementations for 8 weeks. This proposal seeks to shorten this comment period to a minimum of 2 weeks unless the SIG Chair deems that it should be longer. Pros: Streamlines the process and removes some of the things which make the PDP a pain Cons: Some members may feel that it gives the Policy-SIG power to implement policy without AMM oversight. In practice this isn't the case as the APNIC exec council has the final decision on policy introduction. prop-107 AS number transfer policy proposal ----- Proposed by Tomohiro Fujisaki There have been a lot of policies dealing with the transfer of IPv4 addresses as RIRs reached exhaustion. What has not been dealt with however are any policies around transferring AS numbers either between APNIC members, or between APNIC members and members of other RIRs. While this is not a huge problem in terms of demand (actual numbers are hard to get, but I’ve been told there are a non-zero number of applicants), it would be good to close this gap in current policy. Generally I'm supportive. Pros: Makes a level playing field between AS numbers and other IP resources in relation to transfer policy Cons: More policy for an area which doesn’t have a significant demand. prop-105 Distribution of returned IPv4 address (Modification of prop-088) ----- Proposed by Tomohiro Fujisaki This one is a bit more contentious. At present APNIC is operating under a policy of only giving a single block of 1024 IPv4 addresses out to any existing or new members. This is basically because they are all gone. Once you get this special last block (being called a 'last slash-8 block') you can never get any more IPv4 addresses. The thing is... IANA has a few more numbers which they can give out. These are dregs which other people have given back to IANA and they are preparing to hand them out to the RIRs. So the question is, what should APNIC do with those addresses? There aren’t THAT many of them (probably about 4 million, but don't quote me), certainly not enough to go back to the old way of allocating them (they would last less than a few months). Should they just be placed into the current pool and treated the same as the 'last slash-8' addresses, or, as this proposal suggests, should APNIC members be allowed a second bite at the cherry? This policy proposes that members be allowed one allocation from the 'last slash-8' and then an additional allocation from any addresses returned by IANA. Opinion is divided here. Some feel that it gives people one last hope for IPv4 when they should be concentrating on deploying IPv6, while others say that they need just a few more addresses to tide them over. Still others say that it should only be available to developing nations or organisations with small allocations already. I'm on the fence here, but I think that the framework we would need to put in place to administer this would outweigh the benefit gained from offering another allocation to members. I'm currently in favour of just putting them in the existing pool and carrying on as we do today. I’ll be meeting with the author in Xi’an to see if there is any convincing argument the other way. If anyone has any feedback on this one let me know. Pros: Gets addresses out to people who need them Cons: Gives an inaccurate impression that there are any more IPv4 addresses left. People should be moving their large IP address demands to IPv6 [1] While I have strived for balance in this assessment, readers should be aware that I am a co-author of the proposal. -- Dean Pemberton Technical Policy Advisor InternetNZ +64 21 920 363 (mob) dean(a)internetnz.net.nz To protect and promote the Internet for New Zealand.

Commsday: New NSA training deck reveals servers in ANZ
by Skeeve Stevens 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hey all, I haven't seen any discussion on AUSNOG/NZNOG about the details revealed in the XKeyscore presentation ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jul/31/nsa-xkeyscore-prog… ). If, as expected, more revelations and details emerge, then there might be ISPs and carriers in the ANZ region who are complicit in assisting in this programme... In Australia I am expecting the Internet Society in Australia, the Australian Privacy Foundation, the EFA, and others to be having something to say about this. This is from 2008... I'd hate to think to what extent their capabilities are now. Discussion? ;-) ----- New NSA training deck reveals servers in ANZ A NSA presentation newly leaked by former government employee Edward Snowden detailing a global online surveillance system clearly shows infrastructure inside the borders of Australia and New Zealand. According to a map shown in the 2008 training presentation on a program called XKeyscore, there are at least four surveillance nodes in Australia and at least one in New Zealand. The actual map does not specify the exact location of the nodes, but they roughly correspond to coordinates near Darwin, Perth, Sydney, and Alice Springs. The document also explicitly names Australia and New Zealand, along with Canada and Great Britain in its footnotes although their exact roles remained unclear. At the time the presentation was created, XKeyscore covered “approximately 150 sites” and operated “over 700 servers.” According to the presentation, XKeyscore used the servers to gather data on internet activity by users. The data is then catalogued by different variables, including phone numbers, email addresses, log ins and user activity through the use of metadata tables. Once indexed, the information is searchable by NSA operatives via different parameters, such as geography, encryption, language, and even web searches, the material asserted. The author of the presentation said XKeyscore has led to the arrest of 300 terrorists. But Australia’s Pirate Party, which has put forth two candidates for Senate in Queensland and New South Wales, warns the revelation could have far wider implications for Australians. “The implications of all these revelations are troubling and it should concern all Australians that Australian spy agencies may be using US surveillance programs and information-sharing agreements to bypass local restrictions and safeguards,” the Pirate Party said in a release. “As Australians, the US agencies see us as ‘foreign’ and thus not even the minimal safeguards that apply to US citizens would apply to Australians under these programs.” Tony Chan ----- Remember...

Inaugral Meeting of the NZ OpenStack Users Group
by Andrew Ruthven 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hey, A bunch of us who are working with OpenStack in New Zealand are putting together a users group. If you're working with or on OpenStack, or even if you just want to, then we'd love to hear from you. What is OpenStack? OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure solution. [0] The first meeting is to determine where everyone is at with OpenStack. Do you have a 3 node or a 10,000 node cluster*[1]? Are you a core developer on an OpenStack project, or do you want to be? (Does that thought terrify you? That's okay as well.) >From this initial meeting we'd like to work out what topic areas are of interest to the larger group, and who is willing to talk about their areas of interest. Practical details: When: 6pm on 26 August Duration: Probably an hour and a half Website: http://www.meetup.com/New-Zealand-OpenStack-User-Group Location: Level 3 Catalyst House 150 Willis Street Wellington The front door of Catalyst House locks at 6pm, there'll be a sign on the door with someones' phone number on it. There'll be beer, non-beer and nibbles. [2] Cheers! [0] Pinched from http://www.openstack.org [1] You don't need to have a cluster to come along, that's okay, we can help there as well. [2] Thank you to Catalyst IT for sponsoring this event. -- Andrew Ruthven, Wellington, New Zealand At home: andrew(a)etc.gen.nz | linux.conf.au 2014 | Come swan on the Swan River | http://lca2014.linux.org.au -- Andrew Ruthven, Wellington, New Zealand At home: andrew(a)etc.gen.nz | linux.conf.au 2014 | Come swan on the Swan River | http://lca2014.linux.org.au

Off List Replies Please: Quotes for IP Transit
by Alexander Neilson 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Slightly early for Beer O'clock but, Beer We have reached the cap of our existing IP Transit capabilities and have requesting pricing and lead time from our existing provider for increased capacity. If anyone on list is providing IP Transit and can handover to us in SkyTower L48 we would be interested in seeing price per Mbps for Domestic and also for International. This is a pricing comparison as we are very happy with the service level of our existing provider. Price advantage would need to be substantial to more or possibly a backup feed etc. Please can any replies be sent directly to me and not to the list. Simply posted here to invite to treat. Looking for pricing in the few 100's of Mbps each of Domestic and International transit. Thank you Now back to the regular Beer Schedule (I mean intense discussions of network operations) Regards Alexander

4th Global IPv6 Deployment Survey
by Dean Pemberton 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Hi All, The 4th Global IPv6 Deployment Survey is open and will collect information until July 31st The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2013 and just to save people from having to goto the page to read about it here is the blurb: --------------- We are conducting the 4th Global IPv6 Deployment Survey between 1 July 2013 - 31 July 2013. Results will be compared with the results of the earlier Global Surveys, which will help to better understand the developments with regards to IPv6 preparedness and deployment. This survey is designed by GNKS Consult BV in collaboration with TNO and the Regional Internet Registries, based on a design originally by ARIN/CAIDA in 2008, and has been carried out in 2009 with the support of RIPE NCC and APNIC, and globally, with support from the African Network Information Center (AFRINIC), the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) and RIPE NCC , in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The 2013 survey is supported by the EU IPv6 Observatory project (for more information see http://www.ipv6observatory.eu/) In 2012 more than 90% of respondents indicated they would be willing to participate again, this year. The survey is secure and GNKS Consult will keep all data confidential. The data will be used for analysis on IPv6 deployment by ISPs and other stakeholders in the RIR communities around the world, and only presented in summary form. The data will be made available for analysis to the RIRs as well under this same confidentiality clause. It will take about 15 minutes to fill in the survey. We appreciate your time in taking this survey. The results will be made available via the websites of the NRO, the participating RIRs and http://www.gnksconsult.com. For questions or remarks, please send an email to info(a)gnksconsult.com.

InTAC Conference - Come along, Get Involved, Do Something
by Dean Pemberton 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

*Look for the helping opportunity near the end of the message* Hi Everyone, This year, InTAC is being held in Wellington as part of NetHui 2013. You can register online at http://nethui.eventbrite.co.nz. What: InTAC (the Internet Technical Architecture Conference) When: Monday 8 July, 2013 Where: Wellington Town Hall Cost: Free (Registration required) Why should I attend? The New Zealand Internet is like a huge super tanker. The bad news is that it takes a long time to change course if you don't like the direction you're headed. The good news is the earlier you start making those changes the smaller the changes need to make. The InTAC conference will be more than just a collection of technology presentations. This year InTAC will be a collaborative environment designed to focus on outcomes as well as the discussions needed to bring them about. InTAC this year will take a long term view driven by short term actions. The focus of the conference will be around answering the following questions: "What do we want the New Zealand Internet to look like in 5 years?” “What are the 5 actions the industry can perform in the next 5 months to make that future more likely?" Don't miss out on your chance to be part of the technical decisions facing the direction of the New Zealand Internet for the next 5 years. *** Helping opportunity *** I'm also looking for people/organisations to show the attendees a little bit about what they are doing across the next 5 years. To that end if you want to produce me a 2 minute youtube video of any of the following topics, I'll select some to play during the day in order to get attendees heads into that forward looking mode: . What you're up to which has something to do with the Internet (even if it's just a blog to help people find lost cats) . What you need the NZ Internet to provide you (what doesn't it do at the moment that you need it to?) . What you'd be able to provide others if the NZ Internet was just a little different (If it did this, I could save more cats.) . Anything else you think the conference might like to know/hear *** For those keen to stick around for NetHui - being held 8 to 10 July in Wellington - we encourage you to also register for this at http://nethui.eventbrite.co.nz Looking forward to seeing you there. Regards, Dean Pemberton Technical Policy Advisor InternetNZ

Fwd: [outages] Open Resolver Project
by Joe Abley 11 Jun '13

There seem to be a non-trivial number of open resolvers in the few NZ ASes I just checked. It would be good if there was a concerted effort into shutting them down, or otherwise neutering them so that they can't be effective amplifiers for DDoS attacks.

I can confirm that Mac OS X at least does this (it only queries the resolvers of your highest priority IPv4 interface as defined by the 'Set Service Order' option in the Network section of System Preferences).

Re: [nznog] NZNOG Digest, Vol 126, Issue 3
by Rowan Smith 09 Jun '13

Speaking from personal experience in Wellington around 2005-2006, I found Unlimited Potential http://up.org.nz/ a great way to meet people that work around the industry and hear what it's really like on the ground and also what hiring managers look for in a candidate. The most important thing I learned from this experience is not to expect any handouts, but take comfort in the fact that most people are very supportive and willing to hear and share ideas. The hard news to take, is that no matter how good you are, you generally have to start somewhere simple and prove yourself for some years. This is definitely true for larger employers, but the more people you talk to the more opportunities you will discover. Feel free to message me off list with any questions, always happy to use my experiences in helping others on a similar path.

Zone and host scanning by NZRS
by Jay Daley 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi Sorry no beer here. Once a month we run a scan on the .nz zone to collect some IPv6 stats which are then provided to the IPv6 taskforce. This has been going for a while with no problems reported. We now plan to expand this scanning, partly to provide better stats on the use of DNS, like this above, and partly to help .nz run better. For example by detecting lame delegations and telling our registrars about this. As well as more DNS scanning we are also planning web site home page scanning for a very limited set of data related to .nz. For example finding out how many web sites in .nz use an SSL cert and would benefit from moving to storing details about these in DNS (see the IETF DANE WG for details - http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dane/charter/) Before we expand our scanning we've published a draft practice statement that sets out in detail what we are doing, why we are doing it and how we will do it and we want to hear what people have to say about that. We're not aware of anyone else creating and publishing a doc like this so this is very much new ground. The practice statement is here: http://nzrs.net.nz/dns/zone-and-host-scanning and we welcome comments on it. cheers Jay
