GST Question for sending things to NZ from AU
by Skeeve Stevens 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hey all, We have a customer in NZ, and we sold them a router for a site in Auckland. I think they paid for it via their Australian bank account - which means they paid Australian GST. We shipping it to NZ via TNT. What I am wondering is - when it lands in NZ, do they again have to pay NZ GST? When I buy things from say - Singapore, I pay it ex-GST and then Fedex demands the GST before they release it to me here. Is it the same with NZ? Should we have sold it to them ex-GST in Australia because the router is leaving the country? Soooo confusing. ...Skeeve -- Skeeve Stevens, CEO/Technical Director eintellego Pty Ltd - The Networking Specialists skeeve(a)eintellego.net / www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383, Fax: (+612) 8572 9954 Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 / skype://skeeve www.linkedin.com/in/skeeve ; facebook.com/eintellego -- NOC, NOC, who's there?

NZRR Route Registry Update

18 Nov '09

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

by Elly Tawhai 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

_______________________________________________________________________ Application for India NIR - Call for Comments _______________________________________________________________________ The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has lodged an application for recognition as a National Internet Registry (NIR). If recognized as an NIR, NIXI would be able to offer IP (Internet Protocol) address allocation and other APNIC services at a national level in India. In the interests of openness and transparency, the APNIC Executive Council (EC) requests public review of the NIXI application and has issued a Call for Comments to gauge community support. The EC will accept public or confidential comments until Monday, 30 November 2009 at 17:30 (UTC+10 - Brisbane time). Confidential comments may be: - Emailed to the Executive Secretary of the EC at exec-sec(a)apnic.net - Submitted using the web form at http://www.apnic.net/NIR_Comments Comments may also be made publicly and discussed on the "apnic-talk" mailing list. More information on the list is available at: http://www.apnic.net/mailing-lists The APNIC EC is responsible for evaluating and approving the application, but before the EC can do so, it must be satisfied that NIXI meets the "Criteria for the recognition of NIRs in the APNIC region", as set out in the policy available at: http://www.apnic.net/policy/nir-criteria These criteria require NIXI to: - Demonstrate formal endorsement at the national level by the appropriate government body - Be an independent legal entity with a non-profit structure - Demonstrate a stable funding model - Demonstrate it holds a neutral position - Have the organizational and technical capacity to implement APNIC address management policies For more information, see: http://www.apnic.net/nir _______________________________________________________________________ Paul Wilson, Director-General, APNIC dg(a)apnic.net http://www.apnic.net ph/fx +61 7 3858 3100/99 _______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________ Making Allocations from 175/8 and 182/8 soon _______________________________________________________________________ Hi NZNOG Community, In August 2009, APNIC received two IPv4 address blocks from IANA. These were: - 175/8 - 182/8 Reachability and routability testing is now complete and exceeds 96% for all prefixes. APNIC will soon be allocating from these prefixes. Please update your routing filters and network configurations accordingly. Please also double-check and release any blacklisted IP addresses from the above ranges, as they now represent fresh /8 blocks. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact the APNIC helpdesk: helpdesk(a)apnic.net Kind regards, Elly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Elly Tawhai email: elly(a)apnic.net Senior Internet Resource Analyst/ sip: elly(a)voip.apnic.net Liaison Officer(Pacific), APNIC phone: +61 7 3858 3188 http://www.apnic.net fax: +61 7 3858 3199 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

All, I'm quite disappointed in this move.... yes, it is just my little opinion, but it is mine to give. TPG's takeover of Soul, the way they run their network operations - from experience and the feedback of quite a few Soul staff, does not inspire me with any confidence with what will happen to Pipe. TPG basically gutted Soul in several areas and I can't see how, unless they've changed the way they do things, that this will be any good at all for Pipe. Pipe, driven by Bevan and Steve have been amazing for this industry, building it, supporting it and making what it is today... I have never ever experienced TPG caring at all for the industry as a whole... sponsoring anything industry related or supporting it in other ways... if they have, I would like to be corrected. Now Wholesale. I've been a big advocate of Pipe as a wholesale provider over anyone else - simply because of how much they've given the industry and my love for the guys.... but as a wholesale provider they never competed with ISP's in any real way. TPG is a retail based ISP primary.. Soul does other things, but again they shut down their wholesale business of DSL and other things very quickly after the takeover by TPG. What will happen to Pipe? Wholesale shutdown - prices up.. peering killed off? One question I would really like to ask is 'Why Bevan why?'... I realise you guys together only had 27% - but did you have no choice? I am sure I am not the only one asking 'How could you do this to us?' Is it just about the money? In the end.. whatever happens, we will adapt.... you never really do know how things will turn out. This might be a good thing... not that I can see how at the moment. If they leave Pipe alone and let it do what it does best... great... if they gut it and integrate... sad panda for all. I see things like Pipe drinks disappearing, AUSNOG sponsorship disappearing, and amazing industry innovation - like PPC1 - things like that not happening anymore. I remember Bevans' speech at the Pipe Xmas part in 2008... about being here for the small guy...

LAN switches
by Richard Naylor 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Thank you to everyone who emailed with suggestions for a switch for my LAN upgrade to GigE. The issue is a little more complicated. We have 3 main switches on the "base" network. They are all 24 ports, not small 8 ports. The van and both encoder roadcases all have 24 port switches in them and we use the 24 ports. Plus there are switches for "client use" (48 ports each). So I'm probably looking for 6 to 8, 24 port switches with SFPs - and VLANs would be nice. We use multiple internet links (sometimes as many as 4+) We build the different networks via VLANS or sometimes separate physical networks. And of course we use a VoIP pabx with lines in AKL, WLG and CHC. The van has its own lines (2), and we have a portable VoIP pabx for event use. When we need "more power", we connect the van to the office network, both for uplink lines and encoders and for clearing the van-resident disks. The neighbours are sort of used to seeing the van all lit up at night. Satellite dishes sprout and disappear as required. http://www.r2.co.nz/20080404/photos/ I hope this explains why things are a little more complicated. We drink beer to stay sane (and on topic)
