Isn't a "brown-out" what an "ohnosecond" used to be called, being the approximate period of time between making a live config change and discovering the device non-responsive as a result? Brown-out being more expressive as it also describes the effect on the operator succinctly.

http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article61… "Internet users face regular "brownouts" that will freeze their computers as capacity runs out in cyberspace, according to research to be published later this year." Ruh roh. We'd better all upgrade to Internet 2. That beer Jamie made me try last night was pretty good. I forget what it was called. Phew. -- Nathan Ward

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group
by Donald Neal 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The NZNOG mailing list exists to facilitate discussion among operators of networks in New Zealand on matters relevant to network operators as described in the list's Acceptable Use Policy. That policy appears later in this posting. The NZNOG Trust exists to provide the legal framework needed to do jobs like operating the bank account which holds the money which allows our annual conferences to happen. The Trust is not yet GST registered, but work is under way to bring that about. Conference In the NZNOG conference, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The trust, which is responsible for where the money goes, and the organising committee who do most of the actual work. See http://2009.nznog.org/ for details of this year's conference. Discussions are under way between the organising committee and potential hosts of the 2010 conference. Other Meetings See http://thursdaynightcurry.com/ if you live in or near Auckland or Wellington. Operators' Contact List See http://www.nznog.org/?page_id=6 for operational contact details for most New Zealand ISP's. These are intended for use by other network operators, not by most customers. Internet Exchanges See http://www.nzix.net/ for details of exchanges in operation. About This Mailing List This list has around 1000 addresses subscribed. You may only post to the list from a subscribed address. A number of people subscribe addresses which do not receive email purely to allow posting from them. You may choose to receive postings as they come in, or just to receive daily "digests". See the bottom of the page http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog/ to change the form in which you receive postings. The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of Waikato, and is administered by employees of APN Online, Citylink, and The University of Waikato. None of these organisations, nor any administrator, is responsible for its content. NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable. 6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable. 7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are discouraged. 8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats is discouraged. 9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. 10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to be immediately announced to the list. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/ . Any message sent to the list will be archived and made available on the web automatically. Changes are not made to the archive on request, though the administrators remain happy to assist the Office of the Privacy Commissioner should any complaint be laid with that office. One way to search the archive is to use google and prefix your search with site:list.waikato.ac.nz . Subscribing to the List See http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog to subscribe.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '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. Diagnostic output: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS23958 descr: advertised to AS9560 by DTS Ltd - AS23958 members: 202.68.94.0/23^23-29, 202.174.178.0/23^23-29, 202.174.190.0/23^23-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: support(a)dts.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070907 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS23958 descr: advertised to AS9560 by DTS - AS23958 members: 210.48.160.0/20^20-29, 202.68.94.0/23^23-29, 202.20.6.0/24^24-29, 202.36.172.0/24^24-29, 202.68.82.128/25^25-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: technical(a)dts.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20090429 source: NZRR ------------------------------------------------------------
