Call for APNIC 35 Policy Proposals
by Skeeve Stevens 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Dear Colleagues, Is there something in APNIC's policies that you think needs an update, could be improved or changed for the better? If so, then why don't you submit a policy proposal for APNIC 35? If you are not sure whether your policy idea has merit or is covered by an existing one, please seek some advice from the Chairs or the community in general by posting to this mailing list. You never know until you ask. Policy proposals will need to be submitted before Wednesday 30 January 2013 to be considered for consensus at the APNIC 35 Policy SIG in Singapore 25 February - 1 March 2013. There are two ways to submit a policy proposal: 1. Use the online form at: http://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/submit 2. Send your proposal in TEXT format to <policy at apnic dot net>. We encourage you to submit proposals well before the deadline. This gives the community more time to consider your proposal and gives you the opportunity to amend your proposal, if needed, based on the community's feedback. More information ---------------- APNIC's policy development process is explained at: http://www.apnic.net/policy View current and past policy proposals at: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals Learn more about APNIC 35 at: http://conference.apnic.net/35 We look forward to seeing you in Singapore APNIC Policy SIG Chairs Andy, Skeeve, and Masato * * *Skeeve Stevens, CEO - *eintellego Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellego.net ; www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/networkceoau ; blog: www.network-ceo.net The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco – IBM - Brocade - Cloud ----- Check out our Juniper promotion website! eintellego.mx Free Apple products during this promotion!!!

NZIX OpenFlow adventures phase 2
by Dean Pemberton 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi Everyone, So the OpenFlow router has been up for a wee white now so it seemed about time to let you all poke at it. Phase 2 of the project is to: Deploy an OF switch on an exchange point which can function as a route server. This switch should be able to BGP peer with any peers which currently use the exchange and allow for the exchange of IPv4 prefixes as required. I've used the information on the WIX Peer list webpage (http://wix.nzix.net/peers.html) to pre-configure passive[1] BGP peering sessions for all existing WIX participants. So feel free to use your existing WIX IP addresses and AS numbers to connect to IP: 202.7.0.119 Aut-num: 9483 Things to look for: 1) It should pass you the routes that it learns from the route servers with the Flatnet AS in the path but with the original next hops. This longer path should mean that you won't explicitly prefer the routes from me. Bit of safety there. 2) It will pass you any other routes that people pass me directly. As I mentioned before we've got a few more plans. The next phase will start to take us a bit beyond what the current exchanges offer. In the new year we are going to deploy a similar switch at the APE. This hardware will become part of the single SDN controlled switch that we currently have in Wellington. When you peer with the OpenFlow switch at the WIX you'll get APE prefixes as well. Peer at the APE, you'll get WIX prefixes. Once we can get some traffic on the fabric and a presence at multiple places then we can really start to innovate. . BGP prefix communities based on the millisecond difference between your peering port and the prefix next hop . BGP aware RPF on the exchange (solves the pointing default problem) Got any other ideas. Throw them in the mix and we'll see what we can do. Have a Merry Christmas everyone. Regards, Dean [1] Passive means that I'll never reach out and initiate a session with you. You need to initiate the session with me. Just safer incase people think that I'm TCP Port 179 hax0r-ing them.

Re: [nznog] NZIX OpenFlow adventures phase 2
by Josh Bailey 08 Jan '13

Hi Nathan; Hardware flows != OpenFlow flows. OpenFlow is an API. Some reflection on these statements may suggest an answer. Thanks, == If you hit the limit of number of flows, what happens? Does it reject the flow, or does it delete older ones to make room for it? Given there is no default route, what happens if you get a packet that doesn't match a flow? Does it drop it, or punt it to the controller? (ie. is there a default flow to drop) If it deletes older flows, and punts non-matching packets to the controller, that sounds like there's a potential for really bad performance spikes as you approach the upper limits of the flow table. If it deletes older flows and drops non-matching packets, then that's worse. If you simply reject new flows, then that's a bit better, but you've got to make sure that the route reflectors never re-advertise prefixes unless they're installed in to the flow tables successfully, or you drop packets, or punt them to the controller as above. Some interesting issues to consider! Agreed re. VPLS/etc. - but you've got to make sure your switches have reliable connectivity to your controller(s). In a network like WIX, that might be hard, not sure.

Re: [nznog] Temporary fibre cable across Wanganui river near Harihari - anybody got photos?

A good lineman will put a throw line between the two wires you ask for at the top of a pole with great ease. These days a cherry picker seems to be the answer to everything high up. My old throw line finally broke and split. Come to NZNOG-13 and buy me a beer and I'll tell you how it was made. These days I'm a little more elegant and carry a bow and arrow, with fishing line, but its really not as good as a throw line and only really good at blasting through trees. In the old days (before helicopters were cheap to hire), power boards got cables across rivers, gullys and valleys etc using rockets with a draw line. Of course, the drawline was sometimes forgotten, completely by accident, of course. In much the same way it was strange how the 11kV earth sticks kept falling into streams and rivers that had fish in them. Very strange. While a good linesman was amazing, us mere mortals caused much hilarity and rolling around laughing by the gang. Working life used to be so much fun - actually it still is. Leave the office for a day or two and experience Layer 0 engineering..
