Morning NZNOG peeps, Does anyone have more information about current issues with ADSL in Wanganui? 24 hours+ down for a number of customers and answers from support desks are not very enlightening. Cheers, Bart

Correlation between governance and reputation of IP allocations
by Matthew Luckie 15 May '13

15 May '13

http://www.caida.org/research/policy/country-level-ip-reputation/ We recently analyzed the reputation of a country's Internet (IPv4) addresses by examining the number of blacklisted IPv4 addresses that geolocate to a given country. We compared this indicator with two qualitative measures of each country's governance. We hypothesized that countries with more transparent, democratic governmental institutions would harbor a smaller fraction of misbehaving (blacklisted) hosts. The available data confirms this hypothesis. A similar correlation exists between perceived corruption and fraction of blacklisted IP addresses. NZ at the edge of the graph (CPI: very clean) but has a slightly higher fraction of spamming hosts than Australia.

Service status page, generic
by LRW Longhurst 12 May '13

12 May '13

Hi all, In case I'm going too far off-topic, reply direct to me unless you think it is of value to the list. Also, Beer. I've been asked to set up a "service status" page for some internal services at my place of work. Not being a web developer, it occurs to me to wonder, is there some piece of free/open code I could use as a starting point, or do ISPs/ASPs generally just roll their own? My options at this point are pretty broad, ranging from a mini-blog to something more automated, perhaps using Nagios as an input. Lesley Longhurst Geek from way back

Re: [nznog] TICS bill passing under urgency
by Dean Pemberton 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi Everyone. Great to see that there is a growing awareness of this bill on the list. It's certainly drawn a range of critical responses. InternetNZ is in the process of establishing a working group to deal with it in some detail, to establish an InternetNZ position and to have a response ready on what promises to be quite a tight legislative timetable. You're all welcome to attend an initial meeting which will be held late next week, either Thursday or Friday. I'd ask those who are interested in direct participation and available for such a meeting to give me a heads-up. I'll get back later today or Monday with details. Regards, Dean > > Hi list(s) > > The Government is pushing through this amended bill under urgency - along > with the GCSB Amendment bill. > > I've only had a quick read but it already made me feel pretty angry. > Instead of just bitching about it on IRC and twitter and at bus stops to > confused elderly people, I thought I'd try and do something - and I had a > chance to speak with Clare Curran (Labour MP) recently about it. > She suggested she would support fighting / commenting against this bill, > with help and advice. >

TICS bill passing under urgency
by Mike Forbes 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi list(s) The Government is pushing through this amended bill under urgency - along with the GCSB Amendment bill. I've only had a quick read but it already made me feel pretty angry. Instead of just bitching about it on IRC and twitter and at bus stops to confused elderly people, I thought I'd try and do something - and I had a chance to speak with Clare Curran (Labour MP) recently about it. She suggested she would support fighting / commenting against this bill, with help and advice. The problem is most people voting for it have no idea what it means or is for. We (you - Network Operators and IT Professionals, hi!) need to advise and talk and share information about what these changes really mean - and if they're good. The Tech Liberty NZ website has some good reading and a bit of a summary on the TICS Bill - http://techliberty.org.nz/govt-proposes-gcsb-control-over-nz-communications… and the scoop links to the full bills are here: http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1305/Telecommunications_InterceptionCapab… http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1305/wstGovernment_Communications_Securit… TL;DR: The new TICS bill has some changes that could impact the way you do networking in New Zealand - and if you care you should say something.

SDN users group
by Josh Bailey 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi all; I'm thinking of starting an SDN users group in Wellington (meeting approx once a month). To save time, especially the time of those that have no interest, there would be a modest entry requirement - members would have to demonstrate a working SDN device to participate. If you assert that it's not possible so sorry to trouble you - you won't hear from me again. :-) If you would be interested in such a group please send me mail directly - we are fortunate to have a number of research activities ongoing in NZ and I invite your participation. Thanks,

Anyone else seeing a drop in traffic every 12 minutes today? I'm seeing it on domestic hits going in to both my POPs. The Pop that is datacom->Orcon is seeing it a worse than the Telstraclear connected one. Really shows up when I look at 60.234.0.0/16 (Orcon) which goes almost to zero for a minute or two. -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.simonlyall.com/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.

I'm getting farmed off by a support desk for some connection issues into the Orcon datacentre. They claim there's a telecom exchange underwater up that way and that's why they are having issues. Sounds very fishy as I'm not aware of any other issues. They can't provide details. Sent from my iPhone

Hazard Notification - ntp3.ntp.net.nz unreachable due to power shut down

To the NZNOG Community: NZRS would like to inform that ntp3.ntp.net.nz will be unreachable from Friday May 3rd at 4:00pm until Monday May 6th at 8:00am due to power work being carried out in the building where it's located. Although backup power is available for the computer room, the planned work exceeds the generator's autonomous runtime, so we've decided to shut the power down for the duration of the event. ntp1.ntp.net.nz and ntp2.net.ntp.nz will continue to work as usual.

Every time I send the request to transfer an SME phone line, I get the following error even though I have provided the details: At least one row of Individual Line Reassignment details required pstnIsdnDetails/individualLineDetails If anyone has an example of the data required to be sent it would be much appreciated.

Office 365 DNS changes
by Lloyd Parkes 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi all, This is just a heads up. Microsoft's DNS server[1] handling the mail.eo.outlook.com domain was updated a few days ago to reject DNS requests coming from privileged ports. Apparently this is an effort to encourage folks on the internet to use source port randomisation for their DNS requests. If, for some reason, you are not able to use an unprivileged source port for your DNS requests, then you will not be able to send email to any person or company using Microsoft's Office 365 email system. A workaround is to hand off your DNS resolution to Google's DNS recursive resolvers at 8.8.8.8. Cheers, Lloyd [1] Yes, that's "server" in the singular. They have two NS records with two names, but only one IP address. It might be a cluster of servers using one IP address but it looks different from the rest of Microsoft's DNS infrastructure, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Hey, The AWS Sydney region has been available for 5 months now and, since it became available, the chatter about the importance of another wet string for competitive reasons has gone (mostly) quiet.

Previous conference websites have disappeared from the Internet. I understand the trustees have funds at their disposal, and I call on them to take one of the following actions: 1.) Hire someone to sort out the site 2.) Find someone who will do it for free 3.) (or) step down and appoint someone who cares Sorry guys, I like you as people, but your performance here has been abysmal. Fix it please. If you don't want to do anything, I put my hand up for taking over a trustee seat. -JB

I.e., 3Mbps required 6MHz. That's because bits are signaled by transitions.

According to some media the cell phone turns 40 this month. EE Times has some articles on it or Google Marty Cooper. 22 May is the 40th for Ethernet - when Robert Metcalf wrote his memo outlining ethernet to his Boss. Both sound like good reasons for more beer.

03 Apr '13

Hi all, As advised a month or so ago, the following public comment period is open: http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/root-zone-consultation-08mar13-… We have received a small number of responses which are accessible from that page. The topic at hand and the specific questions that have been asked as part of the consultation are important ones; the decisions taken will have operational consequences to any user of the Internet who validates DNS responses with DNSSEC. If you have experience, opinions or expertise to contribute, it would be greatly appreciated. The window for being able to submit comments closes on 12 April 2013 at 23:59 UTC. Many thanks, Joe

Re: [nznog] NZNOG Digest, Vol 124, Issue 2
by Alan Maher 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

I also observe AusNOG, where there is a considerable amount of discussion (sometimes superfluous) and a great reporting system for network outages and so on. And now they have a page for the sale of surplus equipment. Along with some great direct recruitment stuff, that probably never makes the*popular press*. Surely this is a measure of an active community of interest. Activity levels on NZNOG have been somewhat muted in recent times. Does this imply that everything is fine and dandy, and the pills are working quite well, thank you? I will open an alternative discussion to try and break the ice-jam. Can anyone give me some best experience on a cost effective/IPV6 capable consumer router, aside from a Fritz box? Are the PACE boxes from Telecom/Chorus any good? Do they do IPV6? They seem to do almost anything, judging by their tech spin. ADSL/VDSL/Fibre etc. Lets get some debate going people.

route servers
by Blair Harrison 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hello List In order to create some discussion (as Andy seems to think there isn't any) .. I note that using regexp ^ as an option on the ape/wix/chix/hix route servers looking glass no longer gives a full list of routes.. it seems somewhat truncated. At some point in the past it gave a full list, but perhaps now the number of routes has exceeded the limit set on the software? It would be appreciated if this could be adjusted so that I (and anyone else who might be interested) might continue my academic musings on the state of the routing table :) Cheers, Blair

The Internet research botnet
by Juha Saarinen 24 Mar '13

A friend sent a link this morning to what appeared to be the usual dry research stuff but as the coffee kicked in, my jaw dropped. Here's the story I wrote: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/337259,researcher-builds-enormous-global-botn… There was an earlier mass-compromise of DSL routers in Brazil: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/317529,millions-of-dsl-modems-hacked-in-brazi… Would I be right in assuming that the vulnerable devices situation is similar in NZ and Australia?

Videos from NZNOG 2013
by Richard Naylor 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Videos from NZNOG 2013 are now available at http://www.r2.co.nz/20130124/ early viewers will find a slow response time while the videos load into the CDN. Our uplink capacity is currently maxed out with other users. Once loaded the files will play fine from the CDN. The videos can also be downloaded. As there was no printed programme that listed all speakers correctly, we've had to guess on some names and titles. Please think of this as a crowd sourcing task and advise me of any corrections. We may also be missing a speaker as there doesn't seem to be a complete list. If you want a file REALLY badly, try a download with a twist. Get the URL from the web page and change it to use www.r2.co.nz instead of 2012.r2.co.nz, which is the CDN. The origin server is peered on WIX and should perform well locally. The reason for using an international CDN is that even NZNOG gets more viewers from outside NZ than inside NZ., which is why we are always working on getting better quality in presentations. You folks are famous internationally. Rich

Can anyone recommend a DNS registrar?
by Lloyd Parkes 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi all, With Swizzlestick closing down I need to find a new DNS registrar, and my shortlist from http://dnc.org.nz//story/authorised-registrars is still pretty long. I require IPv6 glue and a self service web interface, but I don't need any hosting. I have an irrationally strong desire to deal with a NZ based company and I don't want to deal with a company that only seems to know how to sell xDSL. That latter point is the one I need the most help with. If keeping the DNS running isn't operational enough for the list charter, then "beer". Cheers, Lloyd

Citylink is hiring! http://www.citylink.co.nz/network-engineer Would appreciate it if you folks could pass this on to anyone who might be interested.. We've an open mind on the kind of person. Could be 5yrs+ experience, could be fresh out of varsity etc. Do want someone from (or aspires to be from) the design end of engineering rather than operations end of engineering…MPLS experience nice to have, SDN/Openflow interest nice to have… There's some cool developments going on. Maybe you or someone you know could be a part of that. cheers jamie

Completely non-operational but Obi Wan you're my only hope.
by Geraint Jones 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Like I say completely non-operational. We are in desperate need of some licensing for an old Nortel Contivity 17x0. If anyone out there maybe has a set of keys for one they have retired we would like to hear from you, or maybe you know someone in the IT salvage world who may be able to help. Any ideas would be most welcome. We have pots of gold on offer or beer (now its operational) Thanks for your time!

WellyLUG rekindling
by Hugh Davenport 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hey, Some of you may know me, and some may not. My name is Hugh, I used to work at Catalyst IT, and have recently moved to Aura RedEye Security as the development manager. I have a big interest in the open source world, and have been meaning on getting WellyLUG set up again for a while now... WellyLUG is/was the Wellington Linux Users Group, which ran monthly, but hasn't happened in a while. This email is just to get a sense of who would be interested in starting up meetings again, and what days suit everyone. Also, if you can help sponsor a room/beer/pizza etc, that would be good as well, though I may be able to get that covered on my front. So, if you are keen, reply :D Cheers, Hugh original message at http://lists.wellylug.org.nz/pipermail/wellylug/2013-March/020972.html

ntp.net.nz update
by Jay Daley 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hi A brief update on the status of our public NTP service. For those of you unaware of this service then details are at http://ntp.net.net - We have new firmware on the boxes that fixes previous IPv6 issues so ntp1.ntp.net.nz and ntp3 are now properly accessible over IPv6. ntp2 has a provider IPv6 issue that is still waiting to be fixed. - We believe this firmware also fixes the autokey issues but we are still testing that before enabling it. - Currently each server independently takes its reference time from differential GPS, which is very slightly different from official NZ time. We spoken to the people from IRL responsible for official NZ time and we have agreed a long term plan that will see the differences between GPS and NZ time sent directly to our servers from the IRL atomic clocks, which will condition our servers very close to official NZ time. - We're considering adding one more server to the network, definitely not a Symmetricom this time. We've spoken to Tekron International, a Lower Hutt company who make GPS timing kit about possibly using one of their products but are still researching alternatives. We hardly ever get any feedback on this service and so assume it is working fine, but now's your chance to tell us what you think or if there is anything more we could be doing to make this service more beneficial. cheers Jay -- Jay Daley Chief Executive .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley

NZ ISP level rate limiting to Office365
by Blair Robson 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hiyas, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask...but I want to know if ISPs are setting any rules around upload traffic to office365? At the moment I'm just looking for a route....any route that is going to give me more than 60k up... (the most common is 40k...) Tried Orcon, Vodafone, HD and getting either 40k rated or 60k rated upload speed to Office 365. If this is the wrong place, can anyone suggest somewhere more appropriate?
