Policy proposals at APNIC 25
by Elly Tawhai 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi NZNOG members At APNIC's 25 Open Policy Meeting in two weeks, the community will be discussing a number of proposals related to the depletion of remaining unallocated IPv4 address pool. If your network will need more IPv4 addresses in the next few years, these proposals will affect you. In the lead up to APNIC 25, the community is currently discussing the proposals on the APNIC Policy SIG mailing list. It's great to see that some NZNOG members are already contributing to the debate. Policy is driven by input from the community. So I encourage you to read the discussions to date and add your thoughts to the Policy SIG mailing list. We need to know what you want so APNIC policies best meet your needs. Policy proposals under discussion --------------------------------- prop-050: IPv4 address transfers prop-052: Cooperative distribution of the end of the IPv4 free pool prop-053: Changing minimum IPv4 allocation size to /24 prop-054: NIR operational policy document revision prop-055: Global policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space prop-056: IPv4 soft landing prop-057: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocation criteria prop-058: Proposal to create IPv4 shared use address space among LIRs You can read more about the proposals at: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals How to join the discussion -------------------------- You can view the Policy SIG mailing list archive at: http://mailman.apnic.net/mailing-lists/sig-policy The bulk of discussion about proposals to be presented at APNIC 25 has occurred in January and February this year. To join the mailing list, go to: http://www.apnic.net/community/lists Kind regards, Elly ________________________________________________________________________ Elly Tawhai email: hostmaster(a)apnic.net Internet Resource Analyst/ Liaison (Australasia), APNIC sip: helpdesk(a)voip.apnic.net http://www.apnic.net/helpdesk phone: +61 7 3858 3188 fax: +61 7 3858 3199 ________________________________________________________________________

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '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.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '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.

TelstraClear Cable
by Tony Wicks 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

I've just been informed that TelstraClear has quietly stopped wholesale access to its cable network. While it has been a stupid situation over the last few years in that TelstraClear has been selling wholesale access that is slower and more expensive than their retail offering (and complaining about Telecom doing the same on their network), to just stop all together seems bizarre. Another interesting decision from TelstraClear's wholesale department to go right along with their starting the whole de-peering mess I suppose. All at the same time that the TelstraClear technical people have been doing a nice job of improving access and redundancy to the cable network, I'm guessing no one has told the techs....

Tony, Just wondering where you heard this as I am sat at home right now on a Wholesale TelstraCable connection that runs straight into our network. If they are dropping wholesale I'll have a busy week next week moving our customers. Hmm.. Cheers, Bill -- Bill Walker Senior Network Engineer Snap Internet Limited They informed me this when I asked to check for cable availability for a couple of customers. My impression is they are refusing to add new connections for wholesale customers not so much existing ones. But who knows ? You would have thought some sort of official announcement would have been appropriate not just (quote) – “we do not resale cable modems” And further clarification when asked – “We no longer wholesale cable modems” I know there has been very little interest from wholesale ISP’s in wholesaling cable (that can be expected when the wholesale price exceeds the Telco’s retail price and at lower speeds), but it does seem strange. Especially with the work being done to improve the wholesale access and redundancy to the network. This reeks of a its too hard to do the paperwork so we’ll just tell customers we don’t do it anymore if they ask. Its really quite disappointing, I wonder what they would do if Telecom came along and asked for wholesale access.
