Calling all Mirror Providers
by Daniel Watson 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Gday Guys I'm setting up a new project today that will benefit a lot of providers out there in the market, I will be creating brand new mirrorlists for all the major repo's out there in the internet If you operate a mirror of any software, I would appreciate if you could take a few minutes to reply to this email with your URL of your mirror. I already am aware of a fair few out there already but i am not aware of them all The way that this will be setup will require you to let me know if your mirror operates only on Australian shores or if you also have mirror's in other locations, Please specify the location of the mirror also. Looking forward to your responses. D.

Help / Advise tweaking BGP settings
by Alexander Neilson 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Hey All We have recently made some major changes at $DAYJOB with our connectivity to the outside world and our peering. One of the things we have taken on is a 1Gbps APE peering port and Upgraded out WIX port to 100Mbps. While I find often our inbound traffic takes a fairly efficient path (usually - tho $TRANSITPROVIDER seems to cut prepends and possibly even disaggregates some prefixes (tho this could be something hanging around)) our outbound does seem to be less efficient, especially where APE is concerned. I am currently testing an adaption where I only accept shorter prefixes from $TRANSITPROVIDER and a default route (to avoid blackholing) the domestic transit doesn’t have a “default route” option and I want to avoid pushing domestic traffic over International if it only has a long prefix to match and isn’t peered. Would anyone be willing to provide me some tips / tricks / advise / examples of what they do with BGP (or some good resources) that I can use to improve the routing table I use in the network? Also does anyone have NZ Provider looking glass servers (not the NZIX as I know and use them) where I can see how other domestic providers see my announced routes and how it appears to them (so I can make changes and test but also see what I am being seen as)? Thank you very much in advance for any help. Off list replies are welcomed and possibly better to avoid clogging up the list if people think this is too basic a request for here.

Hello All I'm sure this question has been asked a number of times before but a quick search through the list and a Google pretty much draws a blank. I'm working for a service provider (Mothership) and we're trying to differentiate between national and international traffic. Any pointers?

Re: [nznog] Speaking of IPv6
by Brad Cowie 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello, I don't run the machine that hosts the list, but figure I should chime in since I can provide the most up to date information. Waikato has a fully working IPv6 upstream and our own prefix (2001:df0:4::/48) we at Wand make good use of v6. The downside is that I haven't seen any other departments on campus adopt IPv6 yet, apart from our HPC group and Music group. list.waikato.ac.nz is a campus-wide service run by our ITS division, I haven't heard much about ITS's IPv6 deployment plans, but I'm not sure that will help much in this case considering our email vendor (postini in this case) doesn't have IPv6 support. I'm pretty sure we'll have to move off postini soon considering Google is planning to close that service down at some point. Hopefully our new email vendor has IPv6 support? Feel free to flick me any other questions on or off list and I'll attempt to provide answers.
