Who's fibre?
by Paul Adshead 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

A new fibre install has just showed up in a shared basement riser. It's currently not connected and no-one in the building is claiming it's theirs. The only identifying mark (written in pen on electrical tape) is "VS-42xxx" (xxx are numbers). Would anyone know which fibre company tags their new installs with labels in this format? We've been told fibre would be unavailable for years at this location, so would really like to get a circuit from that cable, if I only knew who to call.... Thanks Paul Adshead

Jon Brewer: "That's hilarious. There's always a receptionist with keys to the basement or pabx room that will give up keys without asking questions if you've got an orange vest and a decent looking id card." That rules out Chorus then. They can't install anything in a shared building without a 90-day lead time and a mountain of consent paperwork. Also the procedure for obtaining a roof key is slightly more complex as it usually involves the receptionist first a) checking that you are in a happy, smiling mood and b) cautioning you sternly to "make sure you don't fall off"

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

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?
