Correlation between governance and reputation of IP allocations
by Matthew Luckie 15 May '13

15 May '13

http://www.caida.org/research/policy/country-level-ip-reputation/ We recently analyzed the reputation of a country's Internet (IPv4) addresses by examining the number of blacklisted IPv4 addresses that geolocate to a given country. We compared this indicator with two qualitative measures of each country's governance. We hypothesized that countries with more transparent, democratic governmental institutions would harbor a smaller fraction of misbehaving (blacklisted) hosts. The available data confirms this hypothesis. A similar correlation exists between perceived corruption and fraction of blacklisted IP addresses. NZ at the edge of the graph (CPI: very clean) but has a slightly higher fraction of spamming hosts than Australia.

IPv6 works!
by Sebastian Castro 13 May '13

13 May '13

Hi NZnogers: It's a strange subject, which replicates the conclusion from Cisco while deploying/operating a large wireless IPv6 network for Cisco Live 2013. Slides are here https://ripe66.ripe.net/presentations/113-CiscoLive-IPv6-RIPE.pdf Cheers, -- Sebastian Castro DNS Specialist .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535

Service status page, generic
by LRW Longhurst 12 May '13

12 May '13

Hi all, In case I'm going too far off-topic, reply direct to me unless you think it is of value to the list. Also, Beer. I've been asked to set up a "service status" page for some internal services at my place of work. Not being a web developer, it occurs to me to wonder, is there some piece of free/open code I could use as a starting point, or do ISPs/ASPs generally just roll their own? My options at this point are pretty broad, ranging from a mini-blog to something more automated, perhaps using Nagios as an input. Lesley Longhurst Geek from way back

Re: [nznog] TICS bill passing under urgency
by Dean Pemberton 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi Everyone. Great to see that there is a growing awareness of this bill on the list. It's certainly drawn a range of critical responses. InternetNZ is in the process of establishing a working group to deal with it in some detail, to establish an InternetNZ position and to have a response ready on what promises to be quite a tight legislative timetable. You're all welcome to attend an initial meeting which will be held late next week, either Thursday or Friday. I'd ask those who are interested in direct participation and available for such a meeting to give me a heads-up. I'll get back later today or Monday with details. Regards, Dean > > Hi list(s) > > The Government is pushing through this amended bill under urgency - along > with the GCSB Amendment bill. > > I've only had a quick read but it already made me feel pretty angry. > Instead of just bitching about it on IRC and twitter and at bus stops to > confused elderly people, I thought I'd try and do something - and I had a > chance to speak with Clare Curran (Labour MP) recently about it. > She suggested she would support fighting / commenting against this bill, > with help and advice. >

TICS bill passing under urgency
by Mike Forbes 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi list(s) The Government is pushing through this amended bill under urgency - along with the GCSB Amendment bill. I've only had a quick read but it already made me feel pretty angry. Instead of just bitching about it on IRC and twitter and at bus stops to confused elderly people, I thought I'd try and do something - and I had a chance to speak with Clare Curran (Labour MP) recently about it. She suggested she would support fighting / commenting against this bill, with help and advice. The problem is most people voting for it have no idea what it means or is for. We (you - Network Operators and IT Professionals, hi!) need to advise and talk and share information about what these changes really mean - and if they're good. The Tech Liberty NZ website has some good reading and a bit of a summary on the TICS Bill - http://techliberty.org.nz/govt-proposes-gcsb-control-over-nz-communications… and the scoop links to the full bills are here: http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1305/Telecommunications_InterceptionCapab… http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1305/wstGovernment_Communications_Securit… TL;DR: The new TICS bill has some changes that could impact the way you do networking in New Zealand - and if you care you should say something. Beers, -- // Mike

SDN users group
by Josh Bailey 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi all; I'm thinking of starting an SDN users group in Wellington (meeting approx once a month). To save time, especially the time of those that have no interest, there would be a modest entry requirement - members would have to demonstrate a working SDN device to participate. If you assert that it's not possible so sorry to trouble you - you won't hear from me again. :-) If you would be interested in such a group please send me mail directly - we are fortunate to have a number of research activities ongoing in NZ and I invite your participation. Thanks,

12 minute blips?
by Simon Lyall 07 May '13

07 May '13

Anyone else seeing a drop in traffic every 12 minutes today? I'm seeing it on domestic hits going in to both my POPs. The Pop that is datacom->Orcon is seeing it a worse than the Telstraclear connected one. Really shows up when I look at 60.234.0.0/16 (Orcon) which goes almost to zero for a minute or two. -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.simonlyall.com/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.
