telecom peering
by Anton Smith 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hello all, Has anybody seen or heard of any further development of this: http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/EA57668828E0FEEFCC2572AC0070D766 Basically Telecom saying they would establish 29 regional points of interconnection, where providers could interconnect with them. The article mentions paying for a circuit into Telecom's network, with them reciprocating a circuit back (in the case of an ethernet interconnect, does this mean paying half each?). I am also wondering if any of these "regional points of interconnection" will be at the existing IXs, and in which case it doesn't seem that either Telecom or the other provider should have to pay anything for interconnect. What's the current word on the street? Has anybody engaged Telecom over this, or know what stage they are at? On another note, it seems funny that I am almost scared to post to nznog these days given the recent 'moderation by the people' ;). Regards, Anton

Systems Administration and Monty Python
by Jamie Baddeley 24 Jun '07

24 Jun '07

Right. Now that the subject matter has got your attention.. FX Networks (http://www.fx.net.nz/) has a position available for a junior/medium level systems administrator with some experience in looking after Debian Linux systems. Ideally they should have experience with Asterisk (or an enthusiasm for it), and a willingness to learn Cisco Networking technology. Perl hacking is also good. This person should not be afraid of customer interaction and working in a small tight team that has fun. Natural talent in dealing with the killer white rabbit of Caerbannog and the knights who say neh! is also a plus. I should also mention beer to keep it OT. Oh, and Wellington as well. Now I shall don my flame proof suit to deal with the slings and arrows of those who've taken it upon themselves to become defacto moderators of this fine list. For those of you moderately interested, drop me a line. thanks! jamie

NZNOG 08 - Call for Participation and Papers
by Simon Lyall 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

NZNOG 08 - Call for Participation and Papers The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Dunedin, New Zealand between 23 January and 25 January 2008. Our host is WIC. NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand. The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from New Zealand Internet orientated companies. Conference Overview ------------------- NZNOG 2008 will consist of one day workshop and tutorial day followed by two days of conference presentations. There will also be opportunity for more informal and small lightening talks. These are typically around five minutes long and are organised closer to the actual conference. Important Dates --------------- Call for Papers opens: 25 June 2007 Deadline for speaker submissions: 6 August 2007 Responses to speaker submissions: 24 August 2007 Draft program published: 3 September 2007 Final program published: 1 November 2007 NZNOG 2008 Conference: 23 - 25 January 2008 SIG / Miniconf / Tutorials -------------------------- The first day of the conference will again be a workshop and tutorial day. It is usually run as one or more parallel 'interest group' streams and practical or interactive workshops of interest to Network Operators. This is a call for papers and activities for the first day of conference. Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'. Conference Presentations ------------------------ The main conference program for 2008 will be made up of two days with a single stream where possible. Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length. NZNOG conferences have traditionally spanned the entire operational spectrum, and then some. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for virtually any topic with a degree of relevance to the NZNOG community. Past years' talks have included the following: - Internet exchange operations - Global anycast networks and the building thereof - Peering, peering, and peering - Network security - 10GB ethernet operations - Advanced networks in NZ - Current Internet research in NZ - Wireless networking - QOS over carrier networks - Content distribution networks and media streaming - How we paid the construction guys 18 pints of beer and they gave us a free metro fibre network in Palmy North - Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions at then end of this document and email them to prog08(a)nznog.org . Submission Guidelines --------------------- When considering a presentation or SIG, 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 the SIGs and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators in the conference sessions. The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals is not compulsory but each will help us determine the quality of your proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted. Final slides are to be provided by 21 January 2008. Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 6 August 2007, a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance. The NZNOG conference is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial content is NOT allowed within the program. The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard of NZNOG conferences, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The audience is extremely technical and unforgiving, and expects that the speakers are themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions, so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver insightful and technically deep responses. Funding and Support ------------------- NZNOG conferences are community run and funded events that try to keep the cost to attendees as low as possible so generally we are unable to pay the travel costs of speakers. There is a limited amount of funding available to international speakers. Conference presenters will not have to pay any registration fee for the day they are presenting. Discounts for SIG and lightning talk presenters may be available but are not automatic. Lightning talks --------------- Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than 10 minutes. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a full talk. At NZNOG 2008 it is planned that there will be at least one hour long lightning talk session. Sponsors -------- There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various aspects of the NZNOG meeting. Please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org for more information Contact ------- Website * http://2008.nznog.org General Enquiries * info(a)nznog.org Talks and Papers * prog08(a)nznog.org Talk Proposals -------------- Please send all talk proposals (including lightning talks) to prog08(a)nznog.org along with the requested information. Questions regarding talks can be sent to the same address. Sponsorship may be available for a limited number of overseas speakers to attend the conference, please indicate if you require assistance with travel and/or accommodation. Author's Full Name: Author's Email Address: Author's affiliation: Author's short biography: Title of Talk: Abstract: Length of talk: Please provide details if a version of this talk has previously been given: Will travel and accommodation assistance be required:

Bytes, Gigabytes and "GB" on the bill
by Paul Adshead 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

Bearing in mind most switches/routers output traffic stats in Bytes and most bills go to customers in GigaBytes, which of the following options are being used by each of us to convert between the two when creating the bill? A, divide by 1024 * 1024 * 1024; B, divide by 1024 * 1024 * 1000; C, divide by 1024 * 1000 * 1000; D, divide by 1000 * 1000 * 1000. Option A gives what anyone associated with computers would expect. Whilst the later options give a larger GB figure (- that can appear on the bill and be charged more). What is in use out there by ISPs? According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte) "The usage of the word "gigabyte" is ambiguous, depending on the context. When referring to RAM sizes and file sizes, it traditionally has a binary definition, of 1024³ bytes (typically assimilated or approximated to 1000³, for convenience). For every other use, it means exactly 1000³ bytes. In order to address this confusion, currently all relevant standards bodies promote the use of the term "gibibyte" for the binary definition."

[Fwd: [SixXS] gblon02 PoP open for Australian and New Zealand]
by Andy Linton 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

This may be of interest to some readers. andy -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SixXS] gblon02 PoP open for Australian and New Zealand Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:40:51 +0100 From: Jeroen Massar <jeroen(a)sixxs.net> Reply-To: info(a)sixxs.net Organization: SixXS To: info(a)sixxs.net Hi, We have been trying to get an ISP from Australian or New Zealand on board, unfortunately it seems that we have met little interest up to now. In case you do know an ISP who might be interested of course don't hesitate to let point us to them, or let the, contact us. From several people we understood that IPv6 connectivity that is provided in the AU/NZ region is quality wise not the best and that there is no real alternative. We recently opened a new PoP in London, UK. The owner of which (Goscomb Technologies) has permitted any and all endpoints to be connected to this PoP. As such, if you don't mind the latency, which will most likely be around the 300-350ms range at least, you can now request a tunnel to the gblon02 PoP and it will be approved. See below for an example traceroute, or test it yourself using http://www.sixxs.net/tools/traceroute/ This at least allows one to get connectivity and start using it. Spread the word and let your friends enjoy too. In case you don't have enough credits to request a tunnel&subnet, don't hesitate to give a shout and we'll make that in order.

Hi guys, Anyone out there got a soekris 4521 (with pcmcia slots) for sale? The 4801 model is commonly used by citylink for route servers - I have a couple of these I would be willing to swap for a 4521 with pcmcia if anyone is interested :) Cheers

ihug DNS problems?
by Simon Lyall 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

I'm seeing problems with doing DNS lookups against 203.109.252.42 which I believe is still ihug's main recursive DNS server [1]. For at least the last week around 20% of DNS queries are not being replied to. Testing to other ihug DNS servers is not showing any problems. Not sure if this is a problem since I am testing from non-ihug IP space and possibly they have put in ACLs[2]. No luck contacting them via email or phone [3]. [1] It might not be, they don't list one on their webpage anywhere. [2] If someone is a customer of theres they could probably check themselves, something like this will work: while [ 1 ] do dig www.ihug.co.nz @203.109.252.42 +tries=1 | grep "msec\|timed" sleep 5 done [3] They might want to update their details at http://www.nznog.org/?page_id=6 -- Simon J.

NZRS is today pleased to announce that the .nz name servers are now operating with IPv6 connectivity in what can be regarded as the first phase of the .nz IPv6 rollout. The name servers are named ns8.dns.net.nz and ns9.dns.net.nz, and are located in Wellington and Albany repsectively. Both are connected to the NZ IPv6 Internet Exchange and there is a .nz Whois server accessible at whois.ipv6.srs.net.nz. NZRS thanks Open Contributors Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (OCCAID) and US telco Sprint for providing the IPv6 tunnels, and thanks Citylink for help in connecting to the NZ IPv6 Internet Exchange. .nz Registry Services is responsible for the operation of the register of domain names and the Domain Name System (DNS) in the .nz domain name space.

Notification of NZRR Database changes

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: route-set: AS24388:RS-ROUTES:AS17435 descr: Route set advertised to AS24388 by World Exchange - AS17435 members: 202.49.240.0/22^22-29, 202.14.217.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.50.176.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: lsmith(a)wxc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070612 source: NZRR

CHIX opens, finally!
by Simon Blake 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi all, apologies in advance, this isn't strictly operational, but is likely to be of interest to most ISP's. Feel free to flame me directly. A somewhat belated announcement, those of you with sharp eyes will have noticed the CHIX RPSL database changes cropping up in NZNOG over the last few days. Essentially, CHIX is up and running and ready to carry traffic. There's a short press release up on http://www.citylink.co.nz/, currently Snap, ServerWorks and Net24 are configured to peer, and we'll have FX, WorldxChange and StreamingNet peering shortly. For those interested in connecting, the exchange is available in several buildings around Christchurch, including TVNZ, PWC, State Insurance (Division St in Riccarton) and the Sir William Pickering Business Park. The exchange runs within a VLAN on the distributed ethernet that runs over the Canterbury Fibre Networks fibre infrastructure - there is a somewhat dated coverage map at http://www.cfnl.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13 If you're interested in peering, please get in touch. Cheers Si

www.nznog.org
by Gerard Creamer 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hi, A quick announcement to let everyone know that the site at http://www.nznog.org has been updated. It now has info on NZNOG, with links to conference sites and the NOC list. There is a NOC list as part of the site - please check your entries and if they are incorrect or incomplete please *follow the instructions on the page* to get them updated / adjusted. The NOC list is a fairly informal affair, but I have made a spur of the moment decision that we'll (there's three of us in the NZNOG08 conference web team who will be updating these) only update requests originating from a URL that matches the URL in the table or is so obviously related that we're willing to take the risk. In other words please don't ask for updates from some disposable email address as we will most likely ignore them. Most things on the historical conference sites work, but some things are broken. We're still working on getting them sorted out, but thought it better to get the NZNOG and the 2008.nznog.org sites out. Comments and feedback of a useful and constructive nature would be appreciated. Cheers, Gerard NZNOG08 Public Relations Team

Re: [nznog] APE / WIX route list Quagga RAM
by Gerard Creamer 05 Jun '07

Stuff all. WIX + a 1 route from an upstream is using a total of ~7% of 64Mb on a Soekris here = ~4.5Mb (zebra and bgpd) A full route table an a different router is only using about 25Mb.

Code for IPv6 test for content providers
by Nathan Ward 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

During a discussion on the NANOG list this week, I came up with an idea that would allow content providers to test their IPv6-ability ie. what would happen if they turned on AAAA records for their websites, which is currently a big reason that content providers aren't "6-ing up". The general idea is to do GETs to several different URLs on different hostnames, and have the different hostnames have IPv4-only, IPv6-only and IPv4+IPv6, and then report the stats. After some playing+testing, I've come up with some code, and it's available here: http://www.braintrust.co.nz/ipv6wwwtest/ I'm not really a JavaScript hacker so it probably isn't terribly amazing quality, but it seems to work OK for me - I've been running it on several of my websites with a large range of user clue+access+OS +browser+ISP as visitors and I've had no complaints. The code is running on the page above, too. Also, the default timeout in the tarball is too high, 10000-20000 is probably adequate. Please let me know if you use it, or if you do something similar or use it for inspiration or whatever. In addition, I'm sure we'd all love to see any statistics you can share when using this. Enjoy! -- Nathan Ward

Problems with WIX route servers late last week.
by Simon Blake 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi folks This is a somewhat belated reply to those who might have noticed wiggyness with the WIX route servers late last week. Thanks to Lee from WorldExchange who first pointed out the problem. We eventually tracked it down fumble fingering at a local ISP, which caused a full route table to be sent to the route servers. As the route servers are RAM and CPU constrained, they didn't cope outstandingly well with this - while they didn't crash, they ran sufficiently slowly that other BGP sessions were getting randomly dropped. Once the offenders were tracked down and had their ways mended, it all came right. So we're currently thinking about ways to avoid this sort of DOS in future. Boxes with more headroom would be a start, so we're considering alternative hardware options at the moment. We're also considering the merits of running one RS with quagga, and one RS with OpenBGPD - that's a possibility into the future, but will require a certain amount of RPSL and looking glass rejigging before we could go live. Relatedly, Andy has been playing with alternate looking glass code, and has this under testing - the "looking glass for amiga users" (tm) http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi put your keyboard in the garage, click submit, and then keep clicking. Any feedback welcome. Cheers Simon

Soliciting peers for the root servers located in NZ...
by Peter Losher 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi, ISC is currently in the process of upgrading our routers in Auckland, and it behooves us to remind the local community that there is a local instance of f.root-servers.net here at the SkyTower, connected to APE. With the DDoS against several of the root servers back in February which proved our anycast model (most folks never noticed there was even a issue), we are once again soliciting peers across our 40+ nodes so we can "keep root server traffic local" wherever possible. So if you are not already peering with us and would wish to do so, please fill out our peering form here: http://www.isc.org/ops/peering/request/ For those of you that don't wish to peer with us over public IX's, we will consider private peering arrangements if you are already present (in the case of Auckland) at the SkyTower. For those of you only present at the WIX, might I suggest contacting Autonomica, who operate a instance of i.root-servers.net there. Hope to be peering with you soon (if we don't already).

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS18353 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Revera - AS18353 members: 202.55.99.0/24^24-29, 202.55.96.176/28^28-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: Marc.Nienkemper(a)revera.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060601 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS18353 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Revera Limited - AS18353 members: 192.88.85.0/24^24-29, 202.55.99.0/24^24-29, 202.55.100.96/27^27-29, 202.55.96.176/28^28-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: networkteam(a)revera.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070524 source: NZRR

Link-bonding scheduler on Allied Telesyn boxes
by Matthew Poole 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi Does anyone happen to know the link-bonding scheduling method used by AT 9812T and Switchblade 2008 boxes? We've seen _reduced_ performance with link bonding on these systems when connecting them to Linux boxes, and were wondering if there's a particular scheduling method that should be enabled on the Linux end. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.

.co.uk zone changes.
by Andy Davidson 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi, How long does it take for changes to the .co.nz domains take to be reflected in whois and dns ? I am not native to the region, so don't have existing experience with this. A client of mine registered a .nz domain for a project of theirs through melbourneit. I changed the dns servers on their site, and it said that the change has been submitted, but 'dig ns theirdomain @202.46.190.130' still shows the original nameservers, as does whois. Any clues ? cheers -a

TelstraClear DSL AKL-CHC
by Russell Tester 13 May '07

13 May '07

We have a customer experiencing problems since around mid-day Friday with their Auckland site talking to their Christchurch site via TCL on net DSL. The problem appears to be with the AKL site that can also not reach a number of our other DSL fed TCL customers in CHC, yet all other internet access appears to be fine. Whilst we have a TCL tech visiting the ALK site (some time), I'm interested if anyone else has encountered similar issues? Also if someone in ALK on TCL on net DSL could reply with a trace to 203.97.49.85 id appreciate this. Cheers, Russell Tester ServerWorks Ltd

However, small >problem.. query 10 domains and suddenly they block you. There is an automatic blacklist which is triggered by a rate of recent requests from the same IP address (and/or netblock). Querying, eg, 10 domains a day isn't a problem (I regularly do this by hand in the course of my work), but querying 10 domains one after another, with no delay, from a script is likely to trigger the blacklist. After a quiet period (some hours?) the IP will fall back out of the automatic blacklist. (I believe there's also a manual blacklist for particularly troublesome offenders.) If your queries are not time critical (and it sounds like from later posts to NZNOG they're not), I'd suggest slowing your queries down so that you're only doing, eg a dozen queries an hour. (I'm assuming given the choice of forum that you have a legitimate reason for doing this. Illegitimate purposes are likely to get you permanently blacklisted anyway.) It may also be helpful to know that at least some registrars provide a customer-usable interface to the whois XML interface bulk query for the domains belonging to you that are registered through them. Which may be an easier way to get the information that you want. Ewen

Hi All, I've been doing whois lookups against whois.srs.net.nz for a few domains we host at work, mainly to look at the billed until date. However, small problem.. query 10 domains and suddenly they block you. Has anyone else come across this? if so who do you talk to to get the limit increased? Cheers, Craig - Solarix
