I also observe AusNOG, where there is a considerable amount of discussion (sometimes superfluous) and a great reporting system for network outages and so on. And now they have a page for the sale of surplus equipment. Along with some great direct recruitment stuff, that probably never makes the*popular press*. Surely this is a measure of an active community of interest. Activity levels on NZNOG have been somewhat muted in recent times. Does this imply that everything is fine and dandy, and the pills are working quite well, thank you? I will open an alternative discussion to try and break the ice-jam. Can anyone give me some best experience on a cost effective/IPV6 capable consumer router, aside from a Fritz box? Are the PACE boxes from Telecom/Chorus any good? Do they do IPV6? They seem to do almost anything, judging by their tech spin. ADSL/VDSL/Fibre etc. Lets get some debate going people.

route servers
by Blair Harrison 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hello List In order to create some discussion (as Andy seems to think there isn't any) .. I note that using regexp ^ as an option on the ape/wix/chix/hix route servers looking glass no longer gives a full list of routes.. it seems somewhat truncated. At some point in the past it gave a full list, but perhaps now the number of routes has exceeded the limit set on the software? It would be appreciated if this could be adjusted so that I (and anyone else who might be interested) might continue my academic musings on the state of the routing table :) Cheers, Blair

I noticed there was an Alcatel-Lucent cable ship in Wellington. Anyone got a clue on what this might be related to? Some new cable being laid in NZ waters or is it just stopping by? Cheers Kris

iconz ipv6?
by Blair Harrison 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hi guys, Anyone else having issues getting to ICONZ's IPV6 nameservers? Blair:~ blair$ dig iconz.co.nz @2405:6000:2:1::1 ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> iconz.co.nz @2405:6000:2:1::1 ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Blair:~ blair$ dig iconz.co.nz @2405:6000:2:2::1 ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> iconz.co.nz @2405:6000:2:2::1 ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached --- 2405:6000:2:1::1 ping6 statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss ICONZ - if you're publishing ipv6 glue, you might want to make sure it works... Also, the glue you're publishing seems to be different to your AAAA records for ns1/ns2 ?? ...... ns_name_01: ns1.iconz.co.nz ns_ip6_01: 2405:6000:2:3::1 ns_name_02: ns2.iconz.co.nz ns_ip6_02: 2405:6000:2:2::2 Might want to fix that.. or at the very least revoke your ipv6 glue, if you aren't going to make your ipv6 work properly?

The Internet research botnet
by Juha Saarinen 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

A friend sent a link this morning to what appeared to be the usual dry research stuff but as the coffee kicked in, my jaw dropped. Here's the story I wrote: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/337259,researcher-builds-enormous-global-botn… There was an earlier mass-compromise of DSL routers in Brazil: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/317529,millions-of-dsl-modems-hacked-in-brazi… Would I be right in assuming that the vulnerable devices situation is similar in NZ and Australia?

Videos from NZNOG 2013
by Richard Naylor 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Videos from NZNOG 2013 are now available at http://www.r2.co.nz/20130124/ early viewers will find a slow response time while the videos load into the CDN. Our uplink capacity is currently maxed out with other users. Once loaded the files will play fine from the CDN. The videos can also be downloaded. As there was no printed programme that listed all speakers correctly, we've had to guess on some names and titles. Please think of this as a crowd sourcing task and advise me of any corrections. We may also be missing a speaker as there doesn't seem to be a complete list. If you want a file REALLY badly, try a download with a twist. Get the URL from the web page and change it to use www.r2.co.nz instead of 2012.r2.co.nz, which is the CDN. The origin server is peered on WIX and should perform well locally. The reason for using an international CDN is that even NZNOG gets more viewers from outside NZ than inside NZ., which is why we are always working on getting better quality in presentations. You folks are famous internationally. Rich

Can anyone recommend a DNS registrar?
by Lloyd Parkes 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi all, With Swizzlestick closing down I need to find a new DNS registrar, and my shortlist from http://dnc.org.nz//story/authorised-registrars is still pretty long. I require IPv6 glue and a self service web interface, but I don't need any hosting. I have an irrationally strong desire to deal with a NZ based company and I don't want to deal with a company that only seems to know how to sell xDSL. That latter point is the one I need the most help with. If keeping the DNS running isn't operational enough for the list charter, then "beer". Cheers, Lloyd

Citylink is hiring! http://www.citylink.co.nz/network-engineer Would appreciate it if you folks could pass this on to anyone who might be interested.. We've an open mind on the kind of person. Could be 5yrs+ experience, could be fresh out of varsity etc. Do want someone from (or aspires to be from) the design end of engineering rather than operations end of engineering…MPLS experience nice to have, SDN/Openflow interest nice to have… There's some cool developments going on. Maybe you or someone you know could be a part of that. cheers jamie

Completely non-operational but Obi Wan you're my only hope.
by Geraint Jones 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Like I say completely non-operational. We are in desperate need of some licensing for an old Nortel Contivity 17x0. If anyone out there maybe has a set of keys for one they have retired we would like to hear from you, or maybe you know someone in the IT salvage world who may be able to help. Any ideas would be most welcome. We have pots of gold on offer or beer (now its operational) Thanks for your time!
