APE 6to4
by Michael Fincham 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

Hi everyone, Just a quick announcement to say that with the departure of Jasper (who some of you may have met at NZNOG 09/08) we will unfortunately be withdrawing our 6to4 announcements from the APE. This was his project and we no longer have any staff enthusiastic about maintaining it. Expect the routes to disappear at some point in the next few days. If anyone is seriously using this service, feel free to get in touch and we'll see what we can do. -- -Michael Fincham System Administrator, Unleash www.unleash.co.nz Phone: 0800 750 250 DDI: 03 978 1223 Mobile: 027 666 4482

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '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.

Noggers, As Macca and Bambi pointed out, I was elected to the APNIC EC last week (even without emailing every member :-) Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out proxies and stood in front of fax machines, those who voted online and everyone who generally encouraged others to vote, it was awesome to get so much support ! I owe you all lots and lots of beer. Thanks ! -- James

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group
by Donald Neal 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has no king, president or formal membership. It consists of the subscribers to this mailing list. Work is now under way aimed at establishment of a Trust to ensure that NZNOG can continue to meet. The aim of this work is to provide the legal framework needed to allow a bank account to be operated while avoiding the administrative overhead which would be involved in setting up an Incorporated Society. NZNOG is intended 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. Conference See http://2009.nznog.org/ for details of this year's conference. The plan is that next year's conference will be further south than Auckland. Discussions are now being held with prospective hosts, so if you have a burning desire to host New Zealand's only technical networking conference, now would be the time to speak up. 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.

APNIC EC Results
by McDonald Richards 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Sorry for the cross-post but since a bunch of NZ proxies helped this happen I figured I'd share the news here as well. For all those not watching the live feed, James Spenceley was just elected on to the APNIC EC. I'm sure there will be a more formal announcement later from APNIC but figured you'd all want to know how your proxies went. Macca

Interesting - How a Router's Missed Range Check Nearly Crashed the Internet
by Skeeve Stevens 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

>From the front page of Slashdot: Barlaam writes "A bug by router vendor A (omitting a range check from a critical field in the configuration interface) tickled a bug from router vendor B (dropping BGP sessions when processing some ASPATH attributes with length very close to 256), causing a ripple effect that caused widespread global routing instability last week. The flaw lay dormant until one of vendor A's systems was deployed in an autonomous system whose ASN, modulo 256, was greater than 250. At that point, the Internet was one typo away from disaster. Other router vendors, who were not affected by the bug, happily propagated the trigger message to every vulnerable system on the planet in about 30 seconds. Few people appreciate how fragile and unsecured the Internet's trust-based critical infrastructure really is - this is just the latest example." Vendor A, in this case, is a Latvian router vendor called MikroTik. Is this just the 4byte ASN thing from months ago or something new? I knew there was a reason I hated Mikrotik's so much. -- 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 -- NOC, NOC, who's there?
