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. The group 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
We hold New Zealand's only technical networking conference. Our next
conference is to be hosted by FX Networks in Auckland on 28-30 January
2009. See
http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2008-September/014419.html for
the 2009 Call for Participation.
Other Meetings
See http://thursdaynightcurry.com/ if you live in or near Auckland,
Hamilton 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.

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

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.

Over the last few weeks the New Zealand Registry Service (NZRS), has
been working on the changes required to replace the .nz name server
operated by TelstraClear (NS4.DNS.NET.NZ) with a new server operated and
managed by the NZRS.
The changes for the replacement server are now complete and the new
server is in operation. The new IP address for NS4 has been made to the
root servers by IANA.
There is no impact on the .nz DNS as a result of the change. The new IP
address for NS4.DNS.NET.NZ is 202.46.189.130.
The new name server uses a technology called ‘anycast’
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast) and will enable NZRS to add
additional servers to other parts of the network if required. It will
also lead to greater reporting and monitoring of the .nz name servers.
This change is one of several that NZRS is undertaking as part of a
project to make improvements to the .nz DNS infrastructure.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is off topic a bit.
We manage a couple of Corporate Proxies and whilst one can connect
happily to www.xtra.co.nz and www.yahoo.com
The other cannot and returns the message below.
What I am looking for is a contact phone number where I can have a
meaningful technical conversation to resolve the issue.
The foreign help desk operator for Telecom/Xtra could only say "We have
no way to resolve that issue".
Thanks

NZNOG 09 - Call for Participation and Papers
The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be
held in Auckland, New Zealand between 26 January and 30 January 2009. Our
host is FX Networks.
NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical
information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and
support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand.
The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the
aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from
New Zealand Internet orientated companies.
Conference Overview
-------------------
NZNOG 2009 will consist of up to three days of workshops and tutorials
followed by
two days of conference presentations. There will also be opportunity for
more informal and small lightening talks. These are typically around five
minutes long and are organised closer to the actual conference.
Important Dates
---------------
Call for Papers opens: 1 September 2008
Deadline for speaker submissions: 30 September 2008
Responses to speaker submissions: 7 November 2008
Draft program published: 7 November 2008
Final program published: 1 December 2008
NZNOG 2009 Conference: 26 - 30 January 2009
SIG / Miniconf / Tutorials / Workshops
--------------------------------------
In previous years we have had a single day of workshops and tutorials,
this year however we are looking at having up to three days of workshops
and tutorials, if we can get the submissions.
Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access
networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet
Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators
mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for
system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'.
Conference Presentations
------------------------
The main conference program for 2009 will be made up of two days with a
single stream where possible. Presentations don't need to fit any particular
fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length.
NZNOG conferences have traditionally spanned the entire operational
spectrum,
and then some. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for
virtually any topic with a degree of relevance to the NZNOG community.
Past years' talks have included the following:
- Internet exchange operations
- Global anycast networks and the building thereof
- Peering, peering, and peering
- Network security
- 10GB ethernet operations
- Advanced networks in NZ
- Current Internet research in NZ
- Wireless networking
- QOS over carrier networks
- Content distribution networks and media streaming
- How we paid the construction guys 18 pints of beer and they
gave us a free metro fibre network in Palmy North
- Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments
- Lawful Interception
Some ideas for this year also include the following:
- IPv6, been there done that.
- DNS Security
- Routing Security
- LLU? Does anyone care?
- P2P content delivery
- Review of 2008
- IPSec
If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions
at then end of this document and submit them to http://submission.nznog.org
Alternatively, you can and email them to talks(a)nznog.org
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
When considering a presentation or SIG, remember that the NZNOG audience
is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide
range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is
a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in the SIGs
and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and
network operators in the conference sessions.
The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals
is not compulsory but each will help us determine the quality of your
proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted.
Final slides are to be provided by 16 January 2009.
Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 30 September
2008,
a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are
exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance.
The NZNOG conference is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial
content is NOT allowed within the program. The program committee is charged
with maintaining the technical standard of NZNOG conferences, and will
therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the
presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The
audience is extremely technical and unforgiving, and expects that the
speakers
are themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions,
so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver
insightful and technically deep responses.
Funding and Support
-------------------
NZNOG conferences are community run and funded events that try to keep the
cost to attendees as low as possible so generally we are unable to pay the
travel costs of speakers. There is a limited amount of funding available to
international speakers.
Conference presenters will not have to pay any registration fee for the day
they are presenting. Discounts for SIG and lightning talk presenters may
be available but are not automatic.
Lightning talks
---------------
Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than 10
minutes. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or
perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a
full talk. At NZNOG 2009 it is planned that there will be at least one
hour long lightning talk session.
Sponsors
--------
There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various
aspects of the NZNOG meeting.
