NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '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.

Re: [nznog] Who has WiFi for Viaduct Harbour?

If I was a visitor to NZ I might find your comment a little unhelpful if not offensive, but since I am a Kiwi and well known to many here, I am more than a little puzzled by your sharp rebuke. The reality is there is a significant international event on here and lots of inbound visitors, many who are used to having access to public wifi wherever they go. There was not only a lost opportunity for revenue here, but we are sending some international people away with a poor impression of our country. -------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: "Harris, Chris" <C.J.Harris(a)massey.ac.nz> Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2008 16:36:28 To:<peter(a)team.swizzle.co.nz> Subject: RE: [nznog] Who has WiFi for Viaduct Harbour?

Akamai hosted content (corrupted downloads, slow speed)
by Stewart Fleming 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi, We are seeing some weird issues with downloads from Akamai sourced content to some but not all of our network addresses. Typically the issues that we see are slow download speeds (20KB/sec) and corrupted downloads (e.g. compressed EXE will not execute). We first noticed this issue last year with the cut in the fibre between Manila and Hong Kong, but then it cleared up only to recur about a week ago. Two questions: - has anyone else in the NZNOG community experienced similar issues in the same timeframe? - what is the best avenue to pursue to resolve this issue with Akamai directly? (I've tried e-mailing ccare(a)akamai.net but have yet to hear back) Thanks for any advice. Regards, Stu

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group
by Donald Neal 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '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. If you weren't there this year, take a look at http://2008.nznog.org/ and http://www.r2.co.nz/20080124/ to see what you missed. Work is now getting under way on preparation for the next conference, to be held in the North Island in early 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/ and follow the link "NOC List" for operational contact details for most New Zealand ISP's.

About This Mailing List This list has between 900 and 1000 addresses subscribed. You may only post to the list from a subscribed address. A number of people subscribe addresses which do not receive email purely to allow posting from them. You may choose to receive postings as they come in, or just to receive daily "digests". See the bottom of the page http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog/ to change the form in which you receive postings. The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of Waikato, and is administered by employees of Citylink, Telecom 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.

'Registering' a DNS server
by Gerard Creamer 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

We've just set up a new DNS server for a client whose domain name is a .co.nz name, and we can't make it a primary or secondary for .com or .net names. In the (distant) past we've 'registered' name servers with Network Solutions, and then it's been all good. Now that the registries are with Verisign there seems to be no way to register anything other than a name server on a .com or .net name, and that has to be completed via the registrar (Tucows, Godaddy etc). I'm not sure whether I'm being particularly dense or if this is actually a difficult thing to do - can someone please let me know what the process is now for registering a .nz server to enable it to be a primary or secondary for .com or .net names. Thanks, Gerard

Re: [nznog] heads up to registries re Day in the Life of the Internet
by k claffy 27 Feb '08

hi folks, many of you have already heard about it, but we want to remind folks of the 'day in the life of the Internet' 2008 experiment: we're coordinating dns (and possibly other types of) measurements from a single (2)day period in mid-march 2008. we will repeat our simultaneous root server collections from 2007, and try to expand our coverage to include other TLDs, and hopefully data from other levels of the hierarchy, e.g., caching resolver data. we'd also like to compare statistics from secured vs unsecured zones. we're hoping this experiment provides data to help answer questions operators care about, e.g., IPv6 adoption, DNSSEC adoption, pollution to root servers, use of unallocated addresses in the wild, reverse DNS deployment, <send us your questions> (working list at: http://www.caida.org/projects/ditl/questions/ ) OARC is providing special support for this project, and Duane is executing some practice runs with participations this week, to test measurement/transport logistics. DNS-based participation should not require much work, ideally running 'dnscap' on/near DNS server(s) and sending the pcap files to OARC: (public.oarci.net) but there are other methods of participation too, depending on your policy constraints. (indexing data into datacat and controlling distribution of the data through your own AUP, or submitting more "cooked" data, e.g., logfile summaries, RRD graphs, reports based on data collected internally by networks during the DITL dates. if you are interested in donating the time and energy and (some form of) data to this project, please let duane, kenjiro, or me know and we'll get you started. URLs with details: http://www.caida.org/projects/ditl/ duane's nanog talk last week: http://www.caida.org/publications/presentations/2008/nanog_dw_ditl/ dns-specific guidance: http://www.caida.org/research/dns/roottraffic/dnsroot_measurement_recommend… thanks, k
