IPv6 tunnel appliance beta testers wanted
by Nathan Ward 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Righty, As many of you know, I've been working on building some little tunnelling appliances to push IPv6 over IPv4 using well known protocols (6to4 and Teredo). Both 6to4 and Teredo benefit from having relays in as many places as possible. Cisco currently supports 6to4. I'm not sure if anyone else does. Noone supports Teredo. With both 6to4 and Teredo being built in and enabled by default on Vista (and enable-able on XP SP2), the amount of tunnelled IPv6 traffic on the Internet is increasing. I recently posted on the v6ops IETF mailing list about Azureus's support for IPv6 - when I use this client, over half of my DHT peers are IPv6 peers, and 99% of them were over tunnelled IPv6, either with 6to4 or Teredo. So, in light of this, I've put together a small FreeBSD based image for Soekris hardware. This does Teredo and 6to4, and also BGP. It does some funky tricks to hook all of these boxes together, tunnelling over IPv4. So, you get interconnection with many other networks over IPv4 best paths and existing IPv4 transit. I'm also expecting to be able to get you on to the v6IX (Citylink's IPv6 peering) as well if you (or your transit provider) are an existing IPv4 peer at APE or WIX. This software will be freely available when it's ready. Here's the best bit: Thanks to InternetNZ, I'll soon have have 6 boxes to do a live test of the code, and hopefully more down the line when it's ready to go for real. So, I'm looking for people who are running networks that fit one (or more) of the following: - Large numbers of end users - Lots of content on IPv6 (yeah, I'm dreaming) - Universities (or other large private networks) It doesn't matter if you have some IPv6 deployed, or if you only have IPv4 deployed, or if you haven't even thought about IPv6 deployment yet. What I need from you: - A shelf somewhere, and an IEC C13 (a.k.a. jug plug) cable/outlet. - An IPv4 address or two. - A 10/100 ethernet port (or two if you're keen on resiliency). - The ability to statically route a couple of IPv4 addresses at your box. - Also useful (but not necessary!) is an IPv6 allocation, and some form of transit internationally (a free IPv6 tunnel from somewhere overseas is fine- native transit isn't required) What you get: - 6to4 relay - Teredo relay - IPv6 interconnection to other people with these boxes Impacts: - If it breaks, you might end up with customer IPv6 traffic being impacted. (ie. not that much impact at all, right now) I'm working right now on some deployment pictures and all that noise, so there's more info coming. Please let me know if you're interested, or if you're interested but have some concerns, or, whatever. I'm wanting to get boxes in fairly soon - ie. before xmas brownouts. Integration is pretty minimal if you have an IPv4 network - plug in and point a route or two. It's only slightly more if you have an IPv6 network. Cheers! -- Nathan Ward Braintrust Ltd.

DNS lookup false positives with: com.co.nz > 208.73.212.12 > information.com
by Paul Adshead 29 Oct '07

Are any others being affected by the fools who have registered "com.co.nz"? It's been setup as a 'catch all' search engine, for the 'append parent DNS suffix' queries. So a lookup on "abcd.com" that should fail, comes back successful from "abcd.com.co.nz"... :-(

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

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.

I am currently conducting a study on the Telecommunication Policymaking in New Zealand ─ specifically dealing with issues of the LLU (Local Loop Unbundling). While conducting my research, I stumbled upon NZNOG - an online community of network operators, predominantly in the Internet and Online Services area. This study could benefit from getting feedback from people within this community (people who are either directly or indirectly related to the LLU). I would like to ask for your permission to talk to someone from this community [via a short telephone interview] with regards to their view on the LLU. The participant could be anyone with an interest in the LLU. Information gathered from this interview could be very valuable for my study on the LLU. I would really appreciate it if you [or anyone from the community] agree to participate in this study. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and you may choose not to participate or to withdraw your consent to be in the study, for any reason, at any time. Materials gathered from this interview will not be published. If you are interested in taking part in this study, please contact me via e-mail to arrange a suitable time to conduct the interview.
