Best local presentation at NZNOG2013
by Gerard Creamer 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi all, Thanks to everyone who came to NZNOG last week, it was great to have you all there. And thanks to all of you who helped out, and especially to all of our sponsors. This year we added an incentive to local presenters - the best local presentation would win travel and accommodation to APRICOT in Singapore and a complementary registration. The paper would be submitted to the APRICOT programme comittee and the winner might get to present at the event. There was quite a lot of discussion about who should win, and we have selected Donald Love's presentation on UFB Realities as the best local presentation at NZNOG 2013 for it's combination of technically interesting content and 'good honest truth' delivery. Congratulations to Donald and a big thank you to all of our local presenters for the interesting and engaging presentations. If you have something technically interesting worth sharing start planning your submission for NZNOG 2014 now :^) NZNOG 2014 will be held January 27-31 2014 in Nelson, New Zealand, and a Call for Papers will be issued to this list later in the year. Cheers, Gerard

Re: [nznog] [AusNOG] IPv4 - Where is the training?
by Don Gould 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Karl, If we can have 50 posts about 23 IP phones on list, then I'm sure some discussion about IPv6 training can be endured even if there are parties with a commercial interest. I am interested and I wonder how many more folk in my area would also be interested (Christchurch) hence why I've copied the NZNOG in as well. What the discussion over the past few days has highlighted for me is I clearly don't know enough and if the messages in my inbox are anything to go by, then there must be others in the same boat. I'd like to understand what the training I need might cost me. How much people think I need to invest in myself to get myself on track. I'd be interested to hear from others, on or off list who might also be interested in some more help to get up to v6 speed. D On 5/03/2013 4:35 p.m., Karl Auer wrote: > Hi Don.

Network device discovery
by Paul Adshead 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi guys. I'm looking for software that will discover network devices site-wide, as the start-point for an asset management db. Looking for MAC and IP primarily, but if manufacturer\model would be great too. Having command line execution, connectivity diagram output and being opensource\free, would all be a bonus. Not looking forward to having to do it manually, so what's out there to make life easier? Almost time for a beer. Thanks, Paul.

New Trans-Tasman submarine cable
by Kris Price 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Oh, looky, a new cable: http://www.telecom-media.co.nz/releases_detail.asp?id=3880&page=index I'm curious about something though, maybe someone on the list can share a bit of history. Is Tasman-2 still active in some capacity? I had always assumed it was shutdown after southern cross was built, but it's still shown often on cable maps such as the one in that press release: http://twitpic.com/c4wu2k Cheers Kris

So wouldn't a larger population buy more data due to size and thus get a better discount? Isn't that how typical economics works. Or am I missing something?

And the other important part is SCCN "could" charge more to NZ due to the monopoly. But they don't. Plus talking about 1gb plans. That is by far and above the edge cases. We have to remember this is bb for the masses. Most OECD countries have an average GB usage below 40 or so... And they have far more options in the online video content space. So NZ isn't *that* different in that respect. Plus in many of those countries have underground ducting that is reused unlike NZ which makes a massive impact on costs. Last of all much of it gets run by the government so issues with the RMA doesn't apply.

Thats true, but it changes. At one point it was impossible to imagine that people would even require 1gb/month. You want the speed of capability to keep pace with the speed of demand. The problem is that capability is always slower to accelerate. > > Fix those issues and we will all have cheaper internet. I don't necessarily want cheaper. I want one which matches my expectations more. =) Dean _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog

How are prices high when it costs the same to land data on SCCN NZ-US as it does AU-US and there is 3 cables going into AU?
