Hi, Can anyone recommend a Manufacturer of 1/3 (think 12 RU ish) rack cabinets that has NZ distribution? Particularly ones that are solid enough to be stacked / bolted together? (Not the wall mount type). So far I have just found the Eaton (Wright Line) Vantage range, but I don't believe there is local stock. Cheers Liam

Off List Replies Please: Quotes for IP Transit
by Alexander Neilson 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Slightly early for Beer O'clock but, Beer We have reached the cap of our existing IP Transit capabilities and have requesting pricing and lead time from our existing provider for increased capacity. If anyone on list is providing IP Transit and can handover to us in SkyTower L48 we would be interested in seeing price per Mbps for Domestic and also for International. This is a pricing comparison as we are very happy with the service level of our existing provider. Price advantage would need to be substantial to more or possibly a backup feed etc. Please can any replies be sent directly to me and not to the list. Simply posted here to invite to treat. Looking for pricing in the few 100's of Mbps each of Domestic and International transit. Thank you Now back to the regular Beer Schedule (I mean intense discussions of network operations) Regards Alexander

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.

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
