NZ download speed improvement
by Nicholas Lee 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

http://www.pcworld.co.nz/article/483086/new_zealand_ranks_43rd_online_downl… 25 May, 2010 "It found that over the past 30 days, Kiwis testing their connections on its two source sites recorded average *download speeds of 5.96 Mbit/s*. When it came to upload speeds, New Zealand ranked 42nd, with an average speed of 1.3 Mbit/s." There seems to have been a reasonable improvement: http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/ 42 New Zealand - 17.02 Mbps 49 Australia - 14.23 Mbps High density fibre installations like they have in HK would be nice: 1. Hong Kong - 71.01 Mbps Nicholas

You need a high metric null route for that /32.

Advertising /32 externally via BGP
by Liam Farr 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Hi, I've run into a bit of a dumb problem, hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I receive a route to a /28 from a member of my BGP confederation, (the /28 is on a directly connected interface of this router) via BGP to one of my edge routers, and I wish to advertise a specific /32 from this /28 to an external BGP peer (upstream provider) from this edge router. I can use route-maps and prefix-lists, to define a BGP export policy to only export the /32 to the external neighbor without issue. Where I get stuck is getting the /32 into my route table, essentially I need to de-aggregate the /28 down to a /32? Is there an accepted "best practice" way of doing this? Apologies if this is a stupid question, I've never run into this issue before, and Google isn't giving me much help. Cheers Liam Farr

Thursday's security amusement!
by Tim Hoffman 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

This is vaguely operational and fairly amusing - one of our friendly LFC’s might want to sort their…ahem….levels of security fail! https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=inurl%3A%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultrafastf… And to keep it on topic - beer!

The New Threat: Targeted Internet Traffic Misdirection
by Sebastian Castro 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

The link below is an article from Renesys about prefix hijacking they've observed. So far until now, those events were not considered as attacks, but "misconfigurations". http://www.renesys.com/2013/11/mitm-internet-hijacking/ We've seen one of those events on our infrastructure, which lasted a few minutes, and it was detected by BGPmon. Is it moment to push RPKI? Topic to discuss during the next NZNOG meeting?

[OT] Racks / routers and switches wanted
by Alexander Neilson 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Sorry for the off list nature of the below. Sunday beer post as an apology ;-) Off list direct replies please to avoid clogging the list up. Phone calls / txt ok to my cellphone numbers below as I am on the road. Is anyone getting rid of any racks at the moment. I am trying to get hold of 2 or 3 42RU+ racks. Prefer solid outer sides and grill front and back doors (but any racks looked at. I am currently getting ready to drive from Christchurch to Auckland in a ute with a trailer on the back so I have room to collect. South Island is today and north island tomorrow. We will consider purchasing the right racks if people want some money for the racks. Also I am looking for some switch / routing / firewall hardware that people want to give away (out of warranty / out of contract is all good) as I am looking for some test hardware for my home lab to learn on. I will have room in the vehicle and will consider any functional hardware available on the route. I don't have money personally to buy this hardware so looking for give aways only (but I will haul it away) Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Ltd Alexander(a)Neilson.net.nz 021 329 681
