MTUs on internet transit and peering
by Alastair Johnson 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen a general trend to supporting >1500B MTUs on Internet transit and peering sessions? I recall from years ago that AGC/ANC/PacNet supported interface-default MTUs, meaning that ATM connected customers had 4470B MTU. Obviously these days with most people running GE or XE in their networks with MPLS and 802.1Q you are looking at networks capable internally of jumbograms, but is anyone running this across network boundaries? Are there any plans for the NZ IXs to be jumbo-capable? I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is jumbo-enabled on their transit connections, and particularly interested in hearing if they are seeing any significant number of packets that are >1500B on the Internet. aj

Auckland IPv6 Internet Exchange
by Andy Linton 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

We've been working on changes to the IPv6 exchange so that we have a process for IPv6 that is similar to that for IPv4. There's a new web page at http://v6ix.nzix.net/ape6/ with more info. For those who are current peers (http://v6ix.nzix.net/ape6/peers.html) you'll be able to request changes in the same way as you can for IPv4 using this page http://v6ix.nzix.net/cgi-bin/ape6/ChangeRoutes.cgi You'll also be able to see what's going on at the Looking Glass at http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi?router=rs1-v6.ape.net.nz and http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi?router=rs2-v6.ape.net.nz We'll be adding a second IPv6 route server rs2-v6.ape.net.nz very shortly. Changes to IPv6 route announcements will come to the nznog list as they currently do for IPv4. If you're not already peering with IPv6 see the link to the application form at http://v6ix.nzix.net/ape6/

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

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.

Remote speedtest locations give similar poor results 200-300kbps, while consumer gives ~1Mbps measured at the same time of day. I'd be interested to know where the consumer test is run from, it uses Ookla as do many of the other test sites and I don't know if Ookla hosts the tests or provides an app to be used by the test provider.

Hamilton Internet Exchange
by Andy Linton 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

We've been working with Velocity Networks (http://www.velocitynetworks.co.nz/) to provide a peering exchange in Hamilton. They provide the network infrastructure and CityLink handles the management of the route servers. There's a new web page at http://nzix.net/hix/ with more info. At present a couple of people have signed up - see http://nzix.net/hix/peers.html You'll also be able to see what's going on at the Looking Glass at http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi?router=rs1.hix.nzix.net and http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi?router=rs2.hix.nzix.net

Some commentary on network neutrality.

Some of the commentary on network neutrality. The same arguments apply equally well to neutral peering. Given government fiber investment might be an issue promises for the forthcoming election, it good be to informed. http://angry-economist.russnelson.com/network-neutrality-4.html "Price differentiation, and indeed, service differentiation only makes sense in a market with choices."
