I would suggest that NZNOG community read InternetNZ's ENUM archive there are two major ENUM related reports as well as an Open Source Software that InternetNZ released. I enclose some links to downloads and documents I refer to (see below). ENUM should be activated for New Zealand as it is an enabler which permits systems and network developers to utilize ENUM in a transparent way to the end user but which enhances the phone address lookup and uses the DNS which is already globally implemented. Note The ENUM system also enables PSTN numbers to be entered and used (subject to the rules of the Registry). Here's some points: 1. While an InternetNZ Councilor from 2003 - July 2007* and as Chair of the ENUM Task force I advocated for ENUM to be fast tracked and activated with a Personal User Agent software (UCI PUA service). ENUM has however been frozen since 2006 by agreements between MED, TCF and InternetNZ to delay ENUM which IMHO does not support our interest's of choice through ENUM operation and access. 2. In my opinion the MED should be required by Government to request delegation of 4.6.e164.arpa (ENUM) unto itself. MED should host ENUM on trial servers on their own ip address space which should be used for boot-strap testing and which can then be transitioned with technical delegation, operation and policy being determined on a fast track basis. The Government should include in the MED's key performance indicators measurements to incentivise their role in the implementation of ENUM for New Zealand. 3. There were discussions resulting in the current situation but there has been no ENUM Trial between InternetNZ, the TCF, NAD and MED. 4. In 2005 InternetNZ as part of the then ENUM initiative and research - INZ funded a UCI, PUA, ENUM (ETSI EG 284 004) software prototype which was developed by CatalystIT (extreme programming - shouts to AndrewR) which used the ENUM directory system, but the trial did not activate the 4.6.e164.arpa delegation, which it would in practice, or trial an ENUM authorization and registration process. In connection with this work: The final version ETSI EG 284 004 in September 2007 recommendations stated that UCI & PUA will use the public ENUM e164.arpa as a global directory. The work of InternetNZ and CatalystIT in New Zealand was recognized in reports on this matter to the European Commission and was used during the development of the final ETSI Guide/Standard which was approved in Europe by vote in 2007. The APEC Business Advisory Council's Report to the APEC Leaders in Bussan also included direct reference to this work. Note PUA is a Personal User Agent routing firewall system for client of isp telco services and UCI is an opt-in Universal Communications Identifier. Recently an Italian company undertaking a research and development contract for communication services for blind people (was contracted by the Italian Ministry of Science to implement a system using UCI PUA ENUM) communicated and requested access to InternetNZ's reports and the open source program code that InternetNZ released. 5. InternetNZ has $20,000 allocated for ENUM in the current place holder budget. 6. The ITU will not approve the ENUM delegation application of James Jones as the MED will not send a letter of endorsement to the ITU in support of this application - or will they.

from what i've seen in europe the registries love it and the users don't really take it. the main problem i've seen there is that the validation process is way too complicated for the normal domain registrar and the customer. the registration numbers in germany and austria are not too impressive either. the swiss guys killed their enum project afaik. cheers lenz > > On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 12:56 PM, Nathan Ward <nznog(a)daork.net> wrote: > >> On 23/12/2008, at 12:44 PM, JONES JAMES F wrote: >> > Is anyone doing anything with 4.6.e164.arpa domain? >> > >> http://www.internetnz.net.nz/projects/enum/index.html >> >> Seems to me that it could tie in to TUANZ/INZ stuff. >> >> I'd question whether it's worthwhile going through all the >> bureaucratic nightmare to get a limited lifetime bridge between the >> PSTN and the Internet. >> Why not just use SIP URIs? >> >> -- >> Nathan Ward >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> NZNOG mailing list >> NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz >> http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog >> > >

NZRR Route Registry Update

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.

APE content on GigE

21 Dec '08

Afternoon to those still at work this week... Is anyone aware of content off APE that's on GigE? Are the ftp.citylink.co.nz servers on GigE? I'm just trying to gauge what the quickest theoretical speed one could get of APE if connected at gigE. Cheers Barry Murphy P.s. for those on holiday, enjoy your beer and time off.

Very funny xtra bound mail (yahoo) goes via another provider

Heya, While drinking beer and playing with the routing table, i notice that mail destined for Xtra: xtra.co.nz. 799 IN MX 20 mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com. xtra.co.nz. 799 IN MX 10 mx1.tnz.mail.yahoo.com. Now goes via Vocus, a new operator selling international bandwidth in NZ: root(a)accounting:/home/icepick# traceroute mx1.tnz.mail.yahoo.com traceroute to mx1.tnz.mail.yahoo.com (124.108.96.67), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 FIREWALL (60.234.66.130) 0.433 ms 0.630 ms 0.389 ms 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 vocus.ape.net.nz (192.203.154.123) 2.029 ms 1.840 ms 3.055 ms 5 ip-42.192.31.114.vocusconnect.net.au (114.31.192.42) 25.294 ms 25.707 ms 26.766 ms 6 as17457-1.bdr02.syd01.nsw.vocusconnect.net.au (114.31.200.38) 26.161 ms 26.152 ms 26.022 ms 7 gi1-2.bas2.aue.yahoo.com (203.84.216.202) 26.164 ms gi1-1.bas1.aue.yahoo.com (203.84.216.198) 26.283 ms 26.306 ms I find it great that xtra bound MX traffic is now "Local" again as it transits APE, but I find it funny that it's another operator supplying the bandwidth rather than telecom. I know this may not be news to everyone yet, and yes, it's not the first time I've mentioned (1) vocus in the last week, but from what I can tell they seem to be doing a good job for the NZ internet so far. (1) I'm in no way affiliated to vocus. Cheers Barry P.S. my views are mine only and not those of my employer, * insert rest of disclaimer here *...
