The New Zealand Network Operators' Group
by Donald Neal 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

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. See http://www.nznog.org/?page_id=4 (er, once it's been fixed) for details of conferences from 2004 to 2008. Work is now under way in preparation for the next conference, to be held in the North Island in late January 2009. 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. About This Mailing List This list has between 900 and 1000 addresses subscribed.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '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.

ReArch'08 and ACM CoNext 2008 CFPs
by Brian E Carpenter 29 May '08

29 May '08

Please excuse duplicates, and apologies if this seems too much like spam. Regards Brian Carpenter University of Auckland -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Re-Arch'08] ReArch'08 Call For Papers Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 12:30:10 -0400 From: EDAS <help(a)edas-help.com> To: Brian Carpenter <brian.e.carpenter(a)gmail.com> ReArch’08 - Re-Architecting the Internet “Exploring what is broken with the Internet architecture and how to fix it.” Madrid, Spain 9 December, 2008 co-located with ACM CoNEXT'2008 sponsored by ACM Sigcomm http://www.sigcomm.org/co-next2008/rearch.html Motivation The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, operational and management requirements, business models, security mechanisms and scalability enablers give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to the original design principles. While these mechanisms are necessary for Internet operation under current economical, technical and social conditions, their combination has significantly reduced the potential for incremental evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. This workshop will discuss what the real underlying problems are with the Internet and how we might fix them so that the Internet architecture re-gains its simplicity and transparency and is fit for another 30+ years, so that the architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet can be regained and retained for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze, and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'08 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, how the following impact on that architecture: New networking paradigms New business models New routing architectures New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms Measurements and analysis that characterize the real architectural limitations New architecture proposals and their implications for research New protocols that address the limitations Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture Principles of evolving future architectures Requirements for interworking with the existing Internet, and for deployability. Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked. Submissions must be original and not already published in any other conference proceedings or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most 6 pages long (including figures, tables, references, etc.) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will be done via EDAS.

The main conference will be preceded by a one-day workshop, and will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is single-track and will feature a high-quality technical program with significant opportunities for individual and small-group technical and social interactions. ACM CoNEXT seeks to foster open discussions on technology alternatives and to be a forum accommodating multiple viewpoints, and is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. As its name suggests, ACM CoNEXT 2008 solicits papers on emerging networking experiments, measurements, paradigms, with particular emphasis on creative, out-of-the-box thinking. Additionally, papers reporting on the deployment and performance of services or exploring network functionality aimed at better supporting new services are also welcome. We welcome submissions based on implementation and experimentation, as well as simulation and analytical approaches. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: o Internet measurement and modeling o Wireless and mobile networks o Ad hoc and sensors networks o Economic aspects of the Internet o Network security issues o Multimedia networking o Peer-to-peer and overlay networks o Routing and traffic engineering o Delay and disruption tolerant networks o New networking protocols and architectures o Autonomic and dependable communications o Networked systems applications and services SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Conformance to the 12 pages, 10pts ACM SIGCOMM format will be strictly enforced. Electronic proceedings will be published by ACM, and the best papers forwarded to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible fast-track publication. Travel grants will be available to support student attendance at the conference.

Hello We have reports today (starting at about 3am this morning) that mail is being rejected by us. Postfix errors out: May 29 14:15:22 app02 postfix/smtpd[22437]: lost connection after DATA from [host here] I can only see 4 companies so far today that have been having issues, but the common factor is they all are connected to global-gateway.net.nz Is anyone else seeing similar issues, am I being too simplistic in saying they are all connected there, but at the moment that's the common thread. Many[1] other uses who are successfully sending are not going through them. [1] Many because I have not checked all obviously

DROA

28 May '08

To Registrars and domain name agents. Heads up ... Domain Registry of America (DROA) appear to be sending out bogus renewal notices again. We've had several queries from customers today and had one or two 'renewal invoices' ourselves. It seems they are targeting people with .nz names but offering the same third level with a gTLD extension. FYI, Domain Registry of America operate out of Melbourne, AU. Funny that ! Regards, Tim

XTRA(yahoo) automatically tagging legitimate mail as Spam
by Michael Hutchinson 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hi All, We are currently having an issue with one of our Exchange servers sending email to user mailboxes on Xtra. We have tracked the email leaving the server, and have EventID's from logs on the Exchange server telling us that delivery is successful. However, when we log into any of the Xtra mail accounts, we can see the emails are automatically being put into the Spam folder of those accounts. There is nothing about the emails to suggest they are spam, and the final received headers say nothing about Spam, let alone even that it has been checked for Spam. As far as I can see it is only affecting one of our domains. We have several other domains with exchange servers that deliver to Xtra mailboxes just fine. I have contacted support at Xtra about this, as well as Ted Grenfell (who got back to me straight away) and we're trying to collate enough data to attack the problem. Is anyone else having this issue? (It would be nice to know that we're not the only ones being picked on by Yahoo.) Cheers, Michael Hutchinson Manux Solutions Ltd
