Xtra DNS
by Simon Lyall 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Can somebody on the team that looks after Xtra's DNS servers please contact me. I'm seeing problems with a specific record that works okay with most/all other NZ ISPs ( the record has a short TTL but has been broken for days ). My work's site has a work-around in place but various other sites ( like some at Mozilla ) will be broken for Xtra customers. The servers I am talking about are: 202.27.184.3 alien 202.27.184.5 terminator 202.27.158.40 dnsc1 202.27.156.72 dnsc2 -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.

Hi Guys We have setup an ISP in New Zealand and have allocated part of our Australian IP address space over here. Could I please ask everyone to update their Geolocation Databases to include the 180.222.160.0/20 as being based in Auckland?

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.

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.

speedtest.net - Texas to Wellington vs. Texas to Christchurch
by Jeremy Lawson 10 Sep '12

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?
