4th Global IPv6 Deployment Survey
by Dean Pemberton 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Hi All, The 4th Global IPv6 Deployment Survey is open and will collect information until July 31st The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2013 and just to save people from having to goto the page to read about it here is the blurb: --------------- We are conducting the 4th Global IPv6 Deployment Survey between 1 July 2013 - 31 July 2013. Results will be compared with the results of the earlier Global Surveys, which will help to better understand the developments with regards to IPv6 preparedness and deployment. This survey is designed by GNKS Consult BV in collaboration with TNO and the Regional Internet Registries, based on a design originally by ARIN/CAIDA in 2008, and has been carried out in 2009 with the support of RIPE NCC and APNIC, and globally, with support from the African Network Information Center (AFRINIC), the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) and RIPE NCC , in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The 2013 survey is supported by the EU IPv6 Observatory project (for more information see http://www.ipv6observatory.eu/) In 2012 more than 90% of respondents indicated they would be willing to participate again, this year. The survey is secure and GNKS Consult will keep all data confidential. The data will be used for analysis on IPv6 deployment by ISPs and other stakeholders in the RIR communities around the world, and only presented in summary form. The data will be made available for analysis to the RIRs as well under this same confidentiality clause. It will take about 15 minutes to fill in the survey. We appreciate your time in taking this survey. The results will be made available via the websites of the NRO, the participating RIRs and http://www.gnksconsult.com. For questions or remarks, please send an email to info(a)gnksconsult.com.

Hi, While at Sky Tower today, I noticed a small zip-up tool case left on level 48, in a slightly out of the way location. It is still sitting where I saw it. If it's yours, but aren't sure exactly where you left it, reply to me with a description of it, and I'll let you know exactly where it is. Cheers, Simon

InTAC Conference - Come along, Get Involved, Do Something
by Dean Pemberton 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

*Look for the helping opportunity near the end of the message* Hi Everyone, This year, InTAC is being held in Wellington as part of NetHui 2013. You can register online at http://nethui.eventbrite.co.nz. What: InTAC (the Internet Technical Architecture Conference) When: Monday 8 July, 2013 Where: Wellington Town Hall Cost: Free (Registration required) Why should I attend? The New Zealand Internet is like a huge super tanker. The bad news is that it takes a long time to change course if you don't like the direction you're headed. The good news is the earlier you start making those changes the smaller the changes need to make. The InTAC conference will be more than just a collection of technology presentations. This year InTAC will be a collaborative environment designed to focus on outcomes as well as the discussions needed to bring them about. InTAC this year will take a long term view driven by short term actions. The focus of the conference will be around answering the following questions: "What do we want the New Zealand Internet to look like in 5 years?” “What are the 5 actions the industry can perform in the next 5 months to make that future more likely?" Don't miss out on your chance to be part of the technical decisions facing the direction of the New Zealand Internet for the next 5 years. *** Helping opportunity *** I'm also looking for people/organisations to show the attendees a little bit about what they are doing across the next 5 years. To that end if you want to produce me a 2 minute youtube video of any of the following topics, I'll select some to play during the day in order to get attendees heads into that forward looking mode: . What you're up to which has something to do with the Internet (even if it's just a blog to help people find lost cats) . What you need the NZ Internet to provide you (what doesn't it do at the moment that you need it to?) . What you'd be able to provide others if the NZ Internet was just a little different (If it did this, I could save more cats.) . Anything else you think the conference might like to know/hear *** For those keen to stick around for NetHui - being held 8 to 10 July in Wellington - we encourage you to also register for this at http://nethui.eventbrite.co.nz Looking forward to seeing you there. Regards, Dean Pemberton Technical Policy Advisor InternetNZ

Fwd: [outages] Open Resolver Project
by Joe Abley 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

There seem to be a non-trivial number of open resolvers in the few NZ ASes I just checked. It would be good if there was a concerted effort into shutting them down, or otherwise neutering them so that they can't be effective amplifiers for DDoS attacks. This is last decade's open mail relay problem, except with less spam, more packet love.

I can confirm that Mac OS X at least does this (it only queries the resolvers of your highest priority IPv4 interface as defined by the 'Set Service Order' option in the Network section of System Preferences). No beer required for sharing this feedback ;) Pete On 11/06/2013, at 8:41 PM, Nathan Ward <nznog(a)daork.net> wrote: > If you receive (via DHCP) a DNS server over the wireless network, are modern operating systems intelligent enough to only send queries to that DNS server out that interface?

Re: [nznog] NZNOG Digest, Vol 126, Issue 3
by Rowan Smith 09 Jun '13

Speaking from personal experience in Wellington around 2005-2006, I found Unlimited Potential http://up.org.nz/ a great way to meet people that work around the industry and hear what it's really like on the ground and also what hiring managers look for in a candidate. The most important thing I learned from this experience is not to expect any handouts, but take comfort in the fact that most people are very supportive and willing to hear and share ideas. The hard news to take, is that no matter how good you are, you generally have to start somewhere simple and prove yourself for some years. This is definitely true for larger employers, but the more people you talk to the more opportunities you will discover. Feel free to message me off list with any questions, always happy to use my experiences in helping others on a similar path.
