Not strictly operational, I know - but something that relates to recent discussions on this list and would probably be of interest to many. http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/268184/film_industry_sues_iinet_ove… Also found on Slashdot. http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/11/20/1411213.shtml I dare say the outcome of this case will make for a fairly interesting caselaw reference... Cheers Mark.

Caching peer-to-peer traffic: a done thing?
by Cameron Kerr 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

I'm updating my labnotes for my network management paper regarding the use of proxy caches, and previously I have pointed to the possibility of caching peer-to-peer traffic as shown in the paper Deconstructing the Kazaa Network http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?coll=GUIDE&dl=GUIDE&id=837393 I would like to know whether or not caching of peer-to-peer is something that ISPs actually do today, and if not why not. I imagine there are probably some interesting legal interactions, but I'm eager to find out how industry is moving in this field. -- Cameron Kerr <ckerr(a)cs.otago.ac.nz> Teaching Fellow, Computer Science, University of Otago

We don't need no sales dept, we don't need no... err... How to get Data pricing, rant...
by Don Gould 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Afternoon all, WARNING: If you're not in the mood for a rant about sales departments then hit <DEL> now! :) I'm trying to do some forward planning (yes I know.... I shouldn't have even considered it!) I want to know what it will cost to get better upstream speed from my shop on Mairehau. (2mbit HFC is ok at present, but won't be soon) So I called TCL, FX and TNZ. How does one talk to someone that knows about something other than ADSL? TNZ get the prize for being the most amusing, I listened politely for some time to the woman telling me all the features of their new firewall product for SOHO, before explaining that it was a bit like a half ton ute and I was looking for a price for an 18 wheeler. That was after I'd been through 3 operators and 4 VMS systems. TCL was quicker to get me speaking to a person... but took me time to get him past the $34.95 + GST plan. Is VDSL2 @ 7mbit really all they have off those nodes in Chc? Aren't they fibre fed? And surly they wouldn't put a VDSL dslam in for 1 customer? I'm the only person pulling data off the node at present. (Some TV, but apparently either everyone's getting BB from Vodafone 3G or Telecom DSL, or they're just not getting data in Mairehau) FX, no VMS, YEAH! err.... all staff in sales meeting and have yet to hear back. /rant Cheers Don

Sorry, you are correct, that is a typo. It should have been: info (at) nznog.org Here's a free txt fish for you }<> While I'm here, I think I lost a NOC list change - I usually get these done within a day of receiving them, so if you emailed a NOC list update a while ago and it hasn't been done please resend it.

Apologies for putting this on-list, but the current conference site has no contact address. The 2008 site (2008.nznog.org) has all(?) of its links pointing to conference.nznog.org which then redirects you to the front page of the 2009 site. -- Cameron Kerr <ckerr(a)cs.otago.ac.nz> Teaching Fellow, Computer Science, University of Otago
