Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. 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. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS18119 descr: Route set advertised to AS9560 by Linux Net - AS18119 members: 202.46.160.0/20^20-29, 202.126.80.0/21^21-29, 202.21.136.0/23^23-29, 202.61.2.0/23^23-29, 192.107.113.0/24^24-29, 202.36.44.0/24^24-29, 202.37.136.0/24^24-29, 202.49.144.0/24^24-29, 202.49.249.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: lincoln(a)linuxnet.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20051202 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS18119 descr: advertised to AS9560 by ACSData - AS18119 members: 202.46.160.0/20^20-29, 117.18.80.0/21^21-29, 202.126.80.0/21^21-29, 202.21.136.0/23^23-29, 202.61.2.0/23^23-29, 192.107.113.0/24^24-29, 202.36.44.0/24^24-29, 202.49.144.0/24^24-29, 202.49.249.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: lincoln(a)acsdata.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070706 source: NZRR

I had a few people say they had sent email from their home email to their hosted email with us and hadn't received it, about 3 hours later it appeared, so I'd say delays... Their site didn't mention anything saying all was well.

Hi, Has anyone else experienced delays in mail from Xtra? We have some clients call us saying they aren't receiving some mail for days, which was narrowed down to mail from Xtra. About 1:18pm today, queued emails started flooding in. Just curious as to whether it affected anyone else, or just us.

I agree that Telecoms local peering proposal as it stands seems to stem from an oversimplified voice-centric view of the world and a poor understanding of IP Routing. Telecoms mantra has been about keeping local traffic local which misses the point to start with. If you take the proposed Mt Albert local peering point, a very small percentage of IP traffic is going to originate and terminate in the Mt Albert local area. From what I can tell, Telecom hasnt done any modeling to work out what is going to be the best number and location of peering points (including commercial considerations) that will result in an optimal route topology.(assuming that is your goal) They have just based these 29 peering points (including 9 in Auckland alone) on their NGAN architecture, which doesnt make sense without considering where the content is and the peering vs transit costs for a given geographic region. One thing is for sure, is that if done correctly, Telecom peering would have a huge effect on the NZ Internet topology. Mark

APNIC Stream APNIC's NIR, Database, and Policy SIGs. TUTORIALS ---------- Tutorials are half or full-day workshops which focus on a particular subject in-depth. Half day will be presented by a single Instructor, or a Full day tutorial may be presented by a team of two instructors working together. Tutorial Instructors are encouraged to also sign up to be a Speaker in the Technical Conference Program as well. You can sign up to give a tutorial and/or conference session presentation by following the instructions at the end of this message for signing up as a speaker or instructor. Tutorial topics which have successful in the past, or have been requested for this year are: - Network security, IPSec, Auditing/Forensics, DDoS Mitigation, VoIP Security - Address planning, conservation, responsibility and migration to IPv6 - High performance IP backbone routing and management - BGP MultiHoming - MPLS - IPv6 implementation - Network planning, management and traffic engineering - Internet exchanges, construction, peering and collocation - Operations, NOC, Helpdesk and other support aspects - BIND, DNSSEC, Split Horizon DNS, and Reverse and multilingual DNS - Broadband first/last mile access technologies - Mobile and wireless technologies - Content, Applications, streaming and multimedia infrastructure - VoIP, Unified messaging, scaling e-mail infrastructure, Asterisk, etc. - Hosted Essential Services (mail, DNS, etc), Server scaling, Open source The program committee will consider proposals for tutorials in any of these areas, and also in new areas. There will be two days of Tutorials. Tutorials last 1/2 day or a full day and can cater to beginner through to advanced audiences. Tutorial days are typically split into four 1.5 hour sessions. If you have an idea for a tutorial subject that is not listed, please feel free to submit it to us. TECHNICAL CONFERENCE SESSIONS ----------------------------- The Main Conference Program for 2008 will be made up of two days, with three streams each day. In addition there will be a colocated meetings of the Asian Broadband Summit and the Asia Pacific IPv6 Task Force. The Asia Pacific Top Level Domain (APTLD) will also hold their members meetings during APRICOT. Each stream will consist of four 1.5 hour sessions, with each having three or four presentations. This allows 20-30mins per presenter. Presentation longer then 25 minutes should be submitted as tutorials. Sessions are chaired by persons of appropriate expertise in the subject matter of the session and will include ample time for questions from the audience. Successful presentations from past APRICOTs have covered topics relevant to current operational deployments or new technologies not yet in wide deployment. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for topics fitting into the six streams outlined above. If you would like to give a presentation at one or more of the sessions, follow the instructions at the end of this message for signing up as a speaker or instructor. PEERING ---------- If you are an ISP or Content Provider that can share some experiences peering in Asia and abroad, please consider contributing an abstract for the Peering track in the Inter Provider Relationship stream. Given that this track has been highly popular, with enough support this will evolve into the Asian version of the Global Peering Forum.

LIGHTNING TALKS ---------------- After the successful introductions of Lightning talks at APRICOT 2007, we will continue with it. Call for papers for Lightning talks will be made during APRICOT, and will be limited to participants of the conference. CFP SUBMISSION -------------- When considering a presentation or tutorial, remember that the APRICOT audience is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in the tutorials and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators over the next 12 - 18 months in the conference sessions. The deadline for submissions is 30 September, 2007. Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be provided with CfP submissions. Final slides are to be provided by 15 January, 2008. While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 30 September 2007, a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance. Please submit online at http://submission.apricot.net/paper/user/login.php?event=7 IMPORTANT NOTE -------------- APRICOT is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial content is not allowed within the program. The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard of APRICOT, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The audience is extremely technical and expects that the speakers are themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions, so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver insightful and technically deep responses. FUNDING AND SUPPORT ------------------- 'APRICOT is a not-for-profit event that tries to keep the cost to attendees low so we are unable to pay the travel costs of speakers. Speakers from developing countries may be eligible for the APRICOT Fellowship Program which provides basic assistance to successful fellows to cover local living and registration expenses associated with attending the conference.' More information on the APRICOT Fellowship program can be found at the APRICOT 2008 website at http://www.apricot2008.net/ Accepted tutorial speakers will receive complimentary registration to both the tutorials and conference. SUBMISSION DETAILS ------------------ If you would like to be considered as a tutorial instructor, session speaker, or a convener of a BOF, please fill in the form at http://submission.apricot.net/ More information on the conference is available at http://www.apricot2008.net/ Thanks.
