Call for APNIC 35 Policy Proposals
by Skeeve Stevens 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Dear Colleagues, Is there something in APNIC's policies that you think needs an update, could be improved or changed for the better? If so, then why don't you submit a policy proposal for APNIC 35? If you are not sure whether your policy idea has merit or is covered by an existing one, please seek some advice from the Chairs or the community in general by posting to this mailing list. You never know until you ask. Policy proposals will need to be submitted before Wednesday 30 January 2013 to be considered for consensus at the APNIC 35 Policy SIG in Singapore 25 February - 1 March 2013. There are two ways to submit a policy proposal: 1. Use the online form at: http://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/submit 2. Send your proposal in TEXT format to <policy at apnic dot net>. We encourage you to submit proposals well before the deadline. This gives the community more time to consider your proposal and gives you the opportunity to amend your proposal, if needed, based on the community's feedback. More information ---------------- APNIC's policy development process is explained at: http://www.apnic.net/policy View current and past policy proposals at: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals Learn more about APNIC 35 at: http://conference.apnic.net/35 We look forward to seeing you in Singapore APNIC Policy SIG Chairs Andy, Skeeve, and Masato * * *Skeeve Stevens, CEO - *eintellego Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellego.net ; www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco – IBM - Brocade - Cloud ----- Check out our Juniper promotion website! eintellego.mx Free Apple products during this promotion!!!

NZIX OpenFlow adventures phase 2
by Dean Pemberton 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi Everyone, So the OpenFlow router has been up for a wee white now so it seemed about time to let you all poke at it. Phase 2 of the project is to: Deploy an OF switch on an exchange point which can function as a route server. This switch should be able to BGP peer with any peers which currently use the exchange and allow for the exchange of IPv4 prefixes as required. I've used the information on the WIX Peer list webpage (http://wix.nzix.net/peers.html) to pre-configure passive[1] BGP peering sessions for all existing WIX participants. So feel free to use your existing WIX IP addresses and AS numbers to connect to IP: 202.7.0.119 Aut-num: 9483 Things to look for: 1) It should pass you the routes that it learns from the route servers with the Flatnet AS in the path but with the original next hops. This longer path should mean that you won't explicitly prefer the routes from me. Bit of safety there. 2) It will pass you any other routes that people pass me directly. As I mentioned before we've got a few more plans. The next phase will start to take us a bit beyond what the current exchanges offer. In the new year we are going to deploy a similar switch at the APE. This hardware will become part of the single SDN controlled switch that we currently have in Wellington. When you peer with the OpenFlow switch at the WIX you'll get APE prefixes as well. Peer at the APE, you'll get WIX prefixes. Once we can get some traffic on the fabric and a presence at multiple places then we can really start to innovate. . BGP prefix communities based on the millisecond difference between your peering port and the prefix next hop . BGP aware RPF on the exchange (solves the pointing default problem) Got any other ideas. Throw them in the mix and we'll see what we can do. Have a Merry Christmas everyone. Regards, Dean [1] Passive means that I'll never reach out and initiate a session with you. You need to initiate the session with me. Just safer incase people think that I'm TCP Port 179 hax0r-ing them.

Re: [nznog] NZIX OpenFlow adventures phase 2
by Josh Bailey 08 Jan '13

Hi Nathan; Hardware flows != OpenFlow flows. OpenFlow is an API. Some reflection on these statements may suggest an answer. Thanks, == If you hit the limit of number of flows, what happens? Does it reject the flow, or does it delete older ones to make room for it? Given there is no default route, what happens if you get a packet that doesn't match a flow? Does it drop it, or punt it to the controller? (ie. is there a default flow to drop) If it deletes older flows, and punts non-matching packets to the controller, that sounds like there's a potential for really bad performance spikes as you approach the upper limits of the flow table. If it deletes older flows and drops non-matching packets, then that's worse. If you simply reject new flows, then that's a bit better, but you've got to make sure that the route reflectors never re-advertise prefixes unless they're installed in to the flow tables successfully, or you drop packets, or punt them to the controller as above. Some interesting issues to consider! Agreed re. VPLS/etc. - but you've got to make sure your switches have reliable connectivity to your controller(s). In a network like WIX, that might be hard, not sure.

My old throw line finally broke and split. Come to NZNOG-13 and buy me a beer and I'll tell you how it was made. These days I'm a little more elegant and carry a bow and arrow, with fishing line, but its really not as good as a throw line and only really good at blasting through trees. In the old days (before helicopters were cheap to hire), power boards got cables across rivers, gullys and valleys etc using rockets with a draw line. Of course, the drawline was sometimes forgotten, completely by accident, of course. In much the same way it was strange how the 11kV earth sticks kept falling into streams and rivers that had fish in them. Very strange. While a good linesman was amazing, us mere mortals caused much hilarity and rolling around laughing by the gang. Working life used to be so much fun - actually it still is.

Authoritative DNS config
by Richard Hector 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

This isn't an NZ specific question, and also perhaps a bit basic; hope that's ok. Packaged (debian, ubuntu anyway) versions of BIND come with various default zones configured - localhost, broadcast and root hints. Are any of these actually necessary for an authoritative-only name server? It seems to me they're mostly/only useful for short-circuiting simple/standard queries on a resolver. Is that right? Not having any other zones than my own in my config would make it somewhat easier to configure views. Thanks, Richard

TV3 Ondemand Contact
by Ray | Taylor Communications 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Would there be any list members inside Media works by any chance, or would someone have a contact who I can speak to? I seem to be having an issue with TV3 ondemand on our network - the preroll plays but the programme itself does not. Anyone that replies when I click "report issue" doesn't seem to be of any help. We have our own ip assignments from apnic. Maxmind and other such geolocation databases are indeed showing Napier as the location though this took 3 months when we got them a year ago. I was thinking it could possibly be an issue inside our main router with the RTMP protocol but I have proved it isnt. - When I go to http://nzcontent.mediaworks.co.nz I can play the http demo stream, but not the rtmp stream - When I go to http://www.etvlive.gov.et/ I can play both the http and the rtmp stream. This is just some overseas organisation who has a web facing adobe media server similar to tv3's So next I thought there could possibly be a firewall or protocol block of some sort - I can telnet into nzcontent.mediaworks.co.nz on port 1935 without an issue. Its been bugging me since we changed over to our own block of ip addresses with the occasional subscriber complaint about the tv3 service. So anyone you can refer me to inside TV3/mediaworks that can help (beyond the tier1 helpdesk monkeys) would be much appreciated.

My Experiences with 3G (aka 2Degrees are pathetic)
by Skeeve Stevens 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hey all, So I arrive in Queenstown, go to Dick Smith, and pick up 2 TelecomXT Sims and a 2Degrees Sim. Also bought $270 worth of recharge vouchers. Telecom XT wasn't too much of a problem... ring up a number and recharge the sims.... worked fine. 2Degres. Useless bloody idiots who if I had the time I would lodge a complaint with whatever authority there was in NZ for doing do. So, got their Nano Sim, put it in the iPad Mini... and nothing. Says it sees the 2Degrees towers... but nothing. Won't activate. Call them, they say I need to put it in a phone with Nano slot (iPhone5) to activate... I didn't bother bringing the 5 because I had the Mini. Called last night, they took details, said to call back in the morning. I called this morning, waited an hour for these idiots to figure out why I or they couldn't activate it... and even got the comment when I said that if they are selling these for iPad Mini's and there is no way to activated they said 'Seems a bit stupid doesnt it'. They said someone would call me back... they didnt. I called back tonight, chick read through all the notes... says she couldn't do anything and the escalation meant I would receive a call back by the 21st of December. WTF?! These people are totally useless. Now the chick is telling me that Dick Smith 'should have' known.... really? Dick Smith said they have no idea and get no training whatsoever from 2Degrees, or any of the sims they sell. So my two Telecom XT work fine, but still needed a call to activate then... but 2Degrees is the biggest joke ever. They have no details, instructions or ANYTHING at all about activating sims on iPad's or iPad Mini's. They had the nerve to say I should go back to Dick Smith and get them to activate it... but didn't want to pay the $60 in taxi fare. If anyone knows anyone up there, feel free to forward them my email to them. This is the worst customer experience ever and I will be telling everyone I know not to use them. *frustrated* * * *Skeeve Stevens, CEO - *eintellego Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellego.net ; www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco – IBM - Brocade - Cloud ----- Check out our Juniper promotion website! eintellego.mx Free Apple products during this promotion!!!

3G in the South
by Bevan McNaughton 16 Dec '12

Down here it seems that Vodafone is the fastest and ha good reliability (little overloading and good consistency), however doesn't have the best coverage. Telecom XT has better coverage but speed and reliability isn't as good. Vodafone may be your best bet. It deems to be consistent enough throughout Qtown, Dunedin & Invercargill (am doing work from those centres with Vodafone on and off often). Regards, -- Bevan McNaughton SouthLoop Invercargill

"Pathetic" is a good description of the major carriers. Telecom do a 4GByte plan and in December seem to do a 2 for 1 deal. We get 8GB per stick from them Vodafone seem to think 4Gbyte is awesome. We carry a "reverse cell-site" that has sicks on both carriers. It uses external aerials to get that little bit extra. I used it in Wanaka in Jan just before NZNOG and Telecom wasn't too bad. Vodafone looked like it had good download, but it was only in short burst stuff. Sustained thru put was mediocre. We used satellite for the job. The 3G rig was just for us at the motel FYI - identical USB sticks sitting side by side have different performance figures. They're really made for metro areas with "immersive" coverage and in areas with less coverage performance is a struggle. For the Wanaka job, the producer is talking about using a bonded 3G rig to replace microwave link from chopper. It will be interesting.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Original message can be found here https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2012-December/009428.ht… - ------------------------------------------- Advisory ? D-root is changing its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January. This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv4 address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and the .ARPA TLD. The change is to D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the University of Maryland. The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13 The current IPv6 address for this authority is 2001:500:2d::d and it will continue to remain unchanged. This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 3 January 2013, however the new address is currently operational. It will replace the previous IP address of 128.8.10.90 (also once known as TERP.UMD.EDU) We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to the old IP address, and replace it with the new address. In particular, many DNS resolvers have a DNS root ?hints? file. This should be updated with the new IP address. New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change has been formally executed: http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache The old address will continue to work for at least six months after the transition, but will ultimately be retired from service. - --------------------------------------------------- Kind Regards, - -- Sebastian Castro DNS Specialist .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDLakMACgkQWyqRrHcQWTmrzQCfeDQ0SZX9Wlf3unUUgu5f0pVZ ODQAn3ETzMd0WsaynqnJzX2bHPlPOF8y =5dXZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

NZ scores first OpenFlow controlled connection to an IX
by Dean Pemberton 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi all, Just wanted to share with you all what we think is a world first, right here in New Zealand. Today New Zealand can boast the first SDN controlled OpenFlow switch BGP peering with a public Internet Exchange. Because you're all geeks, I've decided to write the rest of the email as a FAQ: Q: What is SDN and/or OpenFlow? A: It's a new way of thinking about and building network devices. It stands for Software Defined Networking. It's basically a way to separate the control plane from the data plane in order to allow you unprecedented control over what your network can do, while still keeping it blindingly fast. You let the Software do what it's good for (running routing protocols, making policy decisions) and you let the Hardware do what it's good at (forwarding stuff at wire speed, zoooooom!). A match made in heaven Have a look at the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_networking Or this presentation from OpenFlow http://www.openflow.org/documents/OpenFlow_2011.pps Q: Why do I care? A: SDN and OpenFlow allow you much more control and flexibility over your network. It's a new technology however, and people are yet to begin playing with it. Q: Sounds like one of those scary technologies like IPv6 and DNSSEC. A: Well if you mean that other people are doing it while you're ignoring it and hoping that it will go away... Then you're right. =) Just like IPv6, before we saw people willing to deploy it on their networks they needed to get some experience with how it worked. We're at that stage with SDNs at the moment. It is because of this need for more experience and public awareness that we've gone ahead with this little project. Q: So what exactly have you done. A: We've deployed an OpenFlow controlled switch on the WIX and along with an OpenFlow controller built a BGP capable router. Q: Details? A: From the WIX looking glass Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd 202.7.0.119 4 9483 24345 27397 0 0 0 07:21:59 1 Q: So what? Is that it? A: Hardly. We've got some more phases that we want to develop, so I guess this is a watch this space. Over the next few months, we'll be working on extending past this single box with a view to demonstrating to the NZ Internet community, and beyond, whats really possible with an SDN. Basically we don't want New Zealand falling behind whats happening in the rest of the world. Q: We're not ready for this. It's scary, poke it with a stick!!! A: Thats fine. We've chosen to use New Zealand as the initial production deployment here. But if it looks like thats not going to get the traction needed, then there are other places which this would work in. Lets make this a good Kiwi development moment though. Remember how we're so proud of telling people we had EFTPOS so long before anyone else. Q: Pfffft I've heard of this. It doesn't work! It's not production ready A: Hi, Welcome to the conversation. You're just the sort of person we need paying attention. We're doing this so that people arn't LISTENING about SDN, but are actually seeing it WORK. In a real world production setting. We hope you can stay for the rest of the show. Q: So who else does SDNs. This sounds a little too much like witchcraft to me. A: Well from back in the days of the Juniper M-Series people have been separating Routing Engines from Packet Forwarding Engines. We then started to see multi chassis versions. This is just an extension of the same sort of concept. There are some organisations which run huge-scale SDN style networks. Maybe you've used a search engine or mail platform from one... Q: This sounds like a pretty heavy sales pitch. What are you pushing? A: CYNIC! Nothing. Just like the reason I'm pushing people to think about IPv6 and DNSSEC, I want to see the New Zealand Internet community as a technology innovator, not just someone who swallows down the latest vendor slide-ware. And hey if SDN doesn't work then at least New Zealand still gets to write the book on it. Q: Sounds cool, can I help? A: Sure, anyone's welcome to come and learn along with the rest of us. Drop me a line if you think you can help and we'll see where we can fit you in. As a starter I'm looking for between 1 and 3U of space in Auckland with access to the APE. Q: Where can I hear more. A: If you're lucky I might do a lightning talk on where we've got to and where we're going at the NZNOG conference. Thanks to Prophecy Networks, REANNZ, VUW, Waikato University, Citylink, FX Networks and others, for their contributions and support in getting the project to where it is today and for not wanting it to stop there!

Commsday: Russia, allies back off proposal to extend regulation across Internet
by Skeeve Stevens 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hey all, This was in this mornings Commsday. Seems like great news ...Skeeve ============================================== *Russia, allies back off proposal to extend regulation across Internet* * * In an extraordinary development late last night, Russia and its allies China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates withdrew a radical proposal to overhaul international telecommunications regulations which would have given national governments sweeping new powers to regulate global ICT service providers such as Facebook and Twitter as well as Internet governance. CommsDay was told by sources that International Telecommunications Union secretary-general Hamadoun Toure personally intervened to persuade the Russians to withdraw their proposal following American threats to walk out of the World Conference on International Telecommunications if the revisions were considered for ratification. In a fast moving night:  United States delegation chief Ambassador Terry Kramer denied comments attributed to him by Dow Jones that his country would walk out of the conference if it sought to regulate Internet content. CommsDay has confirmed with Dow Jones that he made the comments now denied.  Russia withdrew, without explanation, a proposal with China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates that would massively increase the ambit of international telecommunications regulations to cover almost all telecommunications and Internet activities. The proposal, leaked on Saturday, was disowned by a member of the Egyptian delegation which last night made a strong statement in favour of Internet freedom. This hinted at serious dysfunction behind the Russian-led coordination efforts.  A steering committee was immediately convened to get the conference, in danger of collapse, back on track. There was reportedly applause in the committee room as progress was made, especially on the detail of who the revised regulations might apply to. However access to the room was blocked by guards. Previously there were concerns that loose wording could extend the ambit of the regulations as far as users of virtual private networks and ham radio operators. The secretive machinations of a working group—the so-called Committee 5—will now apparently give way to open plenary sessions. Observers tell CommsDay that the radical Russian proposals had the effect of galvanising the conference into action. Although Russia and allies have formally withdrawn their proposed treaty revision, other countries may still attempt to advance some of the main points. Australian delegate Dr Bob Horton is believed to have played a major role last night, chairing an ad hoc meeting attempting to resolve the arguWCIT bombshell: SG averts collapse of conference LEAKED: The Russia-led proposalent over how Internet traffic is charged. African states and their supporters seek to restore the old voice traffic settlements regime for Internet traffic to provide a revenue source. The result of these efforts was unclear as we went to press 5AM Australian Eastern Summer Time. CommsDay was told last night that secretary general Toure personally called top Russians and asked them to back off because this would split the conference nproductively. “The head of delegation, considered a young tyro, apparently acted on his own and they shot him down. Partial confirmation is that Touré personally delivered the news to regional meetings before it was announced.” our source said, emphasising this was not officially confirmed. CommsDay sources say that the US delegation’s hundred-plus members fanned out to meet with almost every participating country in a last ditch effort to block the Russia-led move over the weekend. On sheer numbers, the Russia-led proposal would probably win a majority vote but there is an overriding preference by the ITU to forge a consensus on the eventual outcome. The alternative was a walkout by the US delegation and potentially some of its core allies. According to the .nxt website, Poland had also threatened to walk from the event. Australia generally supports the US position backing the status quo on Internet governance. CIVIL SOCIETY OBJECTS: Meanwhile, a group of civil society organisations from the US, Europe, India and Africa has slammed the ITU and WCIT process for a lack of transparency and input from outside groups. In a letter to the ITU, they state “Now that the conference is in session, we wish to call your attention to three immediate and pressing matters: the lack of any official standing to the public comments solicited prior to WCIT at the ITU’s invitation; the lack of access to and transparency of working groups, particularly the working groups of Committee 5; and the absence of mechanisms to encourage independent civil society participation.” ======== To subscribe to Commsday, please visit: http://www.commsday.com/ * * *Skeeve Stevens, CEO - *eintellego Pty Ltd <http://www.commsday.com/> <http://www.commsday.com/> <http://www.commsday.com/>skeeve(a)eintellego.net ; www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco – IBM - Brocade - Cloud ----- Check out our Juniper promotion website! eintellego.mx Free Apple products during this promotion!!!

DNS format error: their fault or mine?
by Richard Hector 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Sorry if this is off topic. I'm seeing a bunch of this (and have been for ages) in my bind logs: http://pastebin.com/ydL0RhG4 (sample line for archives, when paste goes away: Nov 28 23:14:58 jet named[28427]: DNS format error from 120.204.202.200#53 resolving ns-os1.qq.com/AAAA: invalid response ) My understanding is qq.com is a Chinese IM service (which my flatmate uses). Dig doesn't tell me about any error; it merely doesn't return any AAAA records. Any suggestions on: - whether I should care, or just filter it out of my logcheck email - whether there's something I can fix - whether there's something I can do to figure out in more detail what's happening Note that this is my caching NS, on my home network (behind NAT) Thanks, Richard

youth outreach?
by Sean Linton 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Recently Vikram Kumar Chief Executive at InternetNZ highlighted some of the youth outreach initiatives that InternetNZ is involved with. For example work with NetSafe, the 2020 Communications trust, and ICT-Connect. I think its timely activity. I have a question to anyone who is interested. How has the NZNOG community previously ensured that when a few key people decide to do something else the organisation doesn't get into trouble, so new blood keeps coming through? - Sean

by Richard Naylor 17 Nov '12

Just a small advisory. I bought 1.5km of fiber for NetHui this week and it was stolen from the supplier (Corys/Mastertrade) before I got there to collect it. Its 12 core D-series, single mode LSZH cable cut as 2x750m. The CCTV footage shows it stolen from the loading bay. So if you get offered some cheap fiber, I'm sure Corys would be very pleased to hear from you. Replacement fiber arrived friday pm in one length. After a lot of winding and splicing, the van is all loaded ready to roll tomorrow. I was suspicious that the folks mad keen on cable laying through the roaring 40's to South America, had nicked it as a part of their project. Richard

Speaking of Wet Fibre to Sydney...

Greetings, I've just noticed that there's a new AWS region available today: Asia Pacific (Sydney). I would imagine we're going to start to see a trickle of commercial offerings shortly, followed by a rapid increase of data. Before I start probing an instance to find out where/who's connected, does anyone have inside clue about how well connected NZ networks are to this new region? Probing commences after beer. Jed.

Spotted this earlier: http://blog.cloudflare.com/deep-inside-a-dns-amplification-ddos-attack "NZ Attack Sources: 167 AU Attack Sources: 1237" Are the local open resolvers seen as a problem?

Andy Linton is now an OpenFlow expert
by Josh Bailey 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

It took 2h. About 30m to make an OpenFlow controller PC out of bunch of trash, and boot my controller DVD. "ed" wasn't available on my controlled DVD so I made Andy use nano to configure it. That slowed us down quite a bit. 90m to put OpenFlow firmware on a 3780 switch, including walking up and down the hill to VUW get 1G SFPs. So if you have any questions about whether OpenFlow/SDN works/forwards packets in hardware - ask Andy. He knows. And has a live CD controller.

Can someone who looks after Xtra's mail systems please contact me. We're seeing problems with Xtra customers delivering mail to a domain recently transferred from Xtra to DTS. It looks like there are some legacy records left behind from the removal process. Regards Tim Price Network Operations Manager DTS Limited.

TelstraClear 6to4 relay router down again?
by Lloyd Parkes 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Does anyone know if the TelstraClear 6to4 relay is down again? This looks like what happened in May last year, except that this time, I'm working with a brand new router, so it could just be me. I think I've got the hang of the RouterOS firewall and the packet dumps say the 6to4 packets are going out, but I don't trust RouterOS that much yet. Cheers, Lloyd
