Hi, The consultation described in the announcement below is being run to gather input on the best way to implement the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA, which was ratified in May. In particular, we are keen to gather input on the most useful registry format for the Recovered IPv4 Pool. If you have a particular preference, please provide input to the consultation. Many thanks, Leo Vegoda From: ICANN News Alert Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 1:37 PM Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Implementing the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA <http://www.icann.org/> Description: ICANN News Alert <http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-04oct12-en.htm> http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-04oct12-en.htm _____ Implementing the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA 4 October 2012 Forum Announcement: Comment Period Opens on Date: 4 October 2012 Categories/Tags: Internet Protocol Addressing Purpose (Brief): The Board ratified the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA in May.

FW: APE MAC addresses
by Mark Frater 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Anyone know what the rational is around the "official policy around APE" of only having a single MAC address per port? I would have thought that there was some technical merit in allowing at least 2 to cover rotuer replacement (without MAC address spoofing) and offer some peer router diversity options (e.g. either via separate peering sessions or VRRP implementation.)

NZ peering - IPv6, Looking glasses etc.
by Sid Jones 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

FYI: We've upgraded the the Palmerston North exchange so that it supports IPv4 and IPv6 peering announcements, this means that all five of the NZ peering points operated by Citylink are now dual-stacked. If you want to add IPv6 peering please contact us - peering @ citylink.co.nz You can see who is peering with the route servers using http://nzix.net/peers.html There is also Looking Glass visibility to all the route servers available at http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi Lastly, another reminder that you no longer need to submit filter list updates.

[http://www.swiftpage1.com/CampResource/2T0ZVZBHI4PY5TEG/header.jpg] ________________________________ Arbor Networks would like to invite you to participate in our annual Infrastructure Security Survey - a survey of service providers, enterprises, government agencies, universities and other network operators around the world. The purpose of the survey is to gauge and report on general security issues, practices, procedures and observations from the industry. All data gathered from the survey will be compiled in the aggregate and published as Arbor’s 8th annual infrastructure security report and accompanying presentations. Individual responses are treated anonymously and no respondent names will appear in the report or presentations. As a reference, you may access a copy of our 7th annual report here: http://pages.arbornetworks.com/rs/arbor/images/WISR2011_EN.pdf<http://www.swiftpage1.com/SpeClicks.aspx?X=2T0ZVZBHI4PY5TEG00Y9WW> To participate in this year's survey, please click on the following link: http://www.arbornetworks.com/survey/ISR2012<http://www.swiftpage1.com/SpeClicks.aspx?X=2T0ZVZBHI4PY5TEG01Y9WW>.

Fwd: RIPE NCC now allocating IPv4 address space from the last /8 netblock

This means that it is no longer possible to obtain new IPv4 addresses in Europe, the former USSR, or the Middle East, with one small exception: every network operator that is a "RIPE member" or "local Internet registry" (LIR) can obtain one final block of 1024 IPv4 addresses. To fulfill these requests, the RIPE NCC is keeping that last /8, which contains 16.8 million addresses, in reserve. RIPE NCC None of this comes as a surprise given that the global pool of free IPv4 addresses was emptied in February 2011. APNIC, which distributes IP addresses in the Asia-Pacific region, ran out of IPv4 addresses in May 2011; it has been working under the "final /8" regime ever since. The remaining three Regional Internet Registries are AfriNIC (Africa), LACNIC (Latin America and the Caribbean), and ARIN (North America), which all have enough IPv4 addresses to last at least two more years. Since the depletion of IPv4 address space in the APNIC region, little information has surfaced about how network operators in the region have managed the situation. However, the lack of IPv4 addresses only impacts organizations and consumers who need additional addresses, or who need addresses for the first time. Existing IPv4 users remain unaffected, and so the immediate impact is limited. Also, large network operators get large address blocks from the RIRs and they typically have a pool of unused addresses of their own, so few will be experiencing immediate problems. However, every year for the past five years, some 200 million new IPv4 addresses have been put into use. Without a steady supply of fresh addresses, many Internet-related activities are going to become problematic in the years to come. Fortunately, 20 years ago the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) foresaw that the 3.7 billion addresses afforded by the 32-bit IPv4 address space would become a problem, and started working on a replacement: IPv6. But the IPv4 depletion didn't happen as fast as the IETF originally predicted, and IPv6 adoption has languished. But recently, IPv6 adoption got a big push in the form of World IPv6 Launch. Eventually, IPv6 will replace IPv4, but the transition won't be pretty.

I was having some issues transferring to/from one of my Rackspace VPSs, so I run a few tests on speedtest.net from the VPS to various parts of NZ. I expect SOME difference, but these are outrageous. Basically: What the hell is going on in Christchurch?
