Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

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: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS9503 descr: advertised to AS9439 by FX Networks - AS9503 members: 131.203.0.0/16^16-29, 161.29.0.0/16^16-29, 161.65.0.0/16^16-29, 166.65.0.0/16^16-29, 202.53.176.0/20^20-29, 202.174.160.0/20^20-29, 202.191.32.0/20^20-29, 210.48.160.0/20^20-29, 123.108.144.0/21^21-29, 202.46.176.0/21^21-29, 202.78.240.0/21^21-29, 203.190.208.0/21^21-29, 202.37.48.0/22^22-29, 202.59.4.0/22^22-29, 202.6.116.0/23^23-29, 202.124.106.0/23^23-29, 192.88.85.0/24^24-29, 192.133.31.0/24^24-29, 192.195.219.0/24^24-29, 202.20.97.0/24^24-29, 202.27.208.0/24^24-29, 202.36.119.0/24^24-29, 202.36.183.0/24^24-29, 202.46.190.0/24^24-29, 202.49.106.0/24^24-29, 202.50.247.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc-minor(a)fx.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070530 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS9503 descr: advertised to AS9439 by FX Networks - AS9503 members: 131.203.0.0/16^16-29, 161.29.0.0/16^16-29, 161.65.0.0/16^16-29, 166.65.0.0/16^16-29, 202.53.176.0/20^20-29, 202.174.160.0/20^20-29, 202.191.32.0/20^20-29, 210.48.160.0/20^20-29, 123.108.144.0/21^21-29, 202.46.176.0/21^21-29, 202.78.240.0/21^21-29, 203.190.208.0/21^21-29, 202.37.48.0/22^22-29, 202.59.4.0/22^22-29, 202.6.116.0/23^23-29, 202.124.106.0/23^23-29, 116.90.129.0/24^24-29, 116.90.131.0/24^24-29, 192.88.85.0/24^24-29, 192.133.31.0/24^24-29, 192.195.219.0/24^24-29, 202.20.97.0/24^24-29, 202.27.208.0/24^24-29, 202.36.119.0/24^24-29, 202.36.183.0/24^24-29, 202.46.190.0/24^24-29, 202.49.106.0/24^24-29, 202.50.247.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc-minor(a)fx.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070702 source: NZRR

The Choice: IPv4 Exhaustion or Transition to IPv6
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi all, I've published a document trying to analyze the IPv4 exhaustion problem and what is ahead of us, considering among others, changes in policies. http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=news/newsroom&id=3004 I guess this could be useful in order to understand possible implications of modifying existing policies, or setting up new ones, or even just to create some debate about those changes. The document was completed last April, but didn't had the time to tidy up until a few days ago.

SixXS tunnel broker pop in .nz
by Lincoln Reid 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi, Thanks to the post forwarded onto the list by Andy Linton I have been inspired to get in touch with the SixXS guys and arange a local SixXS pop within New Zealand. The nzwlg01 pop runs within the ACSData network ( still known in places as LinuxNet or ACSOnline ). We run our ipv6 network on the same routers, switches and circuits as our IPv4 network, we v6 peer at WIX and APE and use the same international transit provider as for our ipv4 network. It would be great if some people would sign up and make some use of it, if there are any network issues ( or you want a peering session etc. ) feel free to get in touch directly with me or noc(a)acsdata.co.nz. http://www.sixxs.net/signup/ Cheers, -- Lincoln Reid Systems Engineer ACSData - AS18119 lincoln(a)acsdata.co.nz Phone: +64 4 939 2200 Fax: +64 4 939 2201

116.0.0.0/8 allocations
by Gerard Creamer 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi all, Through our own stupidity we were inadvertently blocking a recent allocation from APNIC and thought I'd mention it here. We had a bogon list with 112.0.0.0/5 in it and misread it as /8 several times before growing a brain and sorting it out. Just thought I'd mention it so folks can recheck their bogon lists to ensure that the following aren't being stopped by a larger aggregation. 116/8 APNIC 117/8 APNIC 118/8 APNIC 119/8 APNIC 120/8 APNIC Cheers, Gerard -- Netspace Services Limited http://www.netspace.net.nz Phone +64 4 917 8098 Mobile +64 21 246 2266 Level One, 220 Thorndon Quay, Thorndon PO Box 12-082, Thorndon, Wellington 6004, New Zealand

6to4 and Teredo relays deployment
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Some weeks ago I started to work in documenting how to setup 6to4 and Teredo relays/servers in several platforms for the afripv6-discuss mailing list. There are many 6to4 relays already, but it becomes even more important to have them where the bandwidth is more expensive, because it avoids traffic going thru upstream links. The first message on this is here: https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2007/000061.html More information about 6to4 also available at: http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=using/connectivity/6to4 Similarly for Teredo: https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2007/000080.html And more info about Teredo at: http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=using/connectivity/teredo Regards, Jordi ********************************************** The IPv6 Portal: http://www.ipv6tf.org Bye 6Bone.

Broadband Measurement in NZ - Analysis Skills Required
by Michael Cranna 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hi All As you may have read in the papers in the last few days or so, Epitiro has launched a service in NZ which measures the broadband performance of NZ's 5 largest DSL ISPs in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch ie Xtra, TCL, Callplus, ihug and Orcon. Our methodology is quite comprehensive; we connect up to the premium service of each ISP and then run tests every 15 minutes, to measure, among other things, connection speed, time to connect, DNS response times, cached and un-cached http traffic performance, ping times etc etc. The data provides an interesting look at the performance of the ISPs' service; from DSLAM to peering exchange and beyond. All major ISPs in the UK use our service. What we are keen to do - once we have about a month or so of data - is to conduct analysis on this data, to help us understand what the various combinations of variable fluctuations mean in the NZ context. While we have a lot of experience in the UK, the NZ network topography is very different, so we are looking for some local expertise to help us. Anyone interested? For the few months or so it's probably going to be more love than money, although I am hoping to create a position in the near future, or at least have some budget to pay for casual contracting. This is a unique opportunity to see data of this nature in NZ for the first time. However, the potentially controversial nature of the data means any involvement in this project will have to be strictly governed by confidentiality agreements, threats of immolation etc. If you're interested, drop me an email, and we could either catch up for a coffee if you are in Auckland, or have a chat on the phone if you are elsewhere. If you want more information about us, check out the URL below.

telecom peering
by Anton Smith 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hello all, Has anybody seen or heard of any further development of this: http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/EA57668828E0FEEFCC2572AC0070D766 Basically Telecom saying they would establish 29 regional points of interconnection, where providers could interconnect with them. The article mentions paying for a circuit into Telecom's network, with them reciprocating a circuit back (in the case of an ethernet interconnect, does this mean paying half each?). I am also wondering if any of these "regional points of interconnection" will be at the existing IXs, and in which case it doesn't seem that either Telecom or the other provider should have to pay anything for interconnect. What's the current word on the street? Has anybody engaged Telecom over this, or know what stage they are at? On another note, it seems funny that I am almost scared to post to nznog these days given the recent 'moderation by the people' ;). Regards, Anton

Systems Administration and Monty Python
by Jamie Baddeley 24 Jun '07

24 Jun '07

Right. Now that the subject matter has got your attention.. FX Networks (http://www.fx.net.nz/) has a position available for a junior/medium level systems administrator with some experience in looking after Debian Linux systems. Ideally they should have experience with Asterisk (or an enthusiasm for it), and a willingness to learn Cisco Networking technology. Perl hacking is also good. This person should not be afraid of customer interaction and working in a small tight team that has fun. Natural talent in dealing with the killer white rabbit of Caerbannog and the knights who say neh! is also a plus. I should also mention beer to keep it OT. Oh, and Wellington as well. Now I shall don my flame proof suit to deal with the slings and arrows of those who've taken it upon themselves to become defacto moderators of this fine list. For those of you moderately interested, drop me a line. thanks! jamie

NZNOG 08 - Call for Participation and Papers
by Simon Lyall 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

NZNOG 08 - Call for Participation and Papers The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Dunedin, New Zealand between 23 January and 25 January 2008. Our host is WIC. NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand. The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from New Zealand Internet orientated companies. Conference Overview ------------------- NZNOG 2008 will consist of one day workshop and tutorial day followed by two days of conference presentations. There will also be opportunity for more informal and small lightening talks. These are typically around five minutes long and are organised closer to the actual conference. Important Dates --------------- Call for Papers opens: 25 June 2007 Deadline for speaker submissions: 6 August 2007 Responses to speaker submissions: 24 August 2007 Draft program published: 3 September 2007 Final program published: 1 November 2007 NZNOG 2008 Conference: 23 - 25 January 2008 SIG / Miniconf / Tutorials -------------------------- The first day of the conference will again be a workshop and tutorial day. It is usually run as one or more parallel 'interest group' streams and practical or interactive workshops of interest to Network Operators. This is a call for papers and activities for the first day of conference. Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'. Conference Presentations ------------------------ The main conference program for 2008 will be made up of two days with a single stream where possible. Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length. NZNOG conferences have traditionally spanned the entire operational spectrum, and then some. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for virtually any topic with a degree of relevance to the NZNOG community. Past years' talks have included the following: - Internet exchange operations - Global anycast networks and the building thereof - Peering, peering, and peering - Network security - 10GB ethernet operations - Advanced networks in NZ - Current Internet research in NZ - Wireless networking - QOS over carrier networks - Content distribution networks and media streaming - How we paid the construction guys 18 pints of beer and they gave us a free metro fibre network in Palmy North - Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions at then end of this document and email them to prog08(a)nznog.org . Submission Guidelines --------------------- When considering a presentation or SIG, remember that the NZNOG 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 SIGs and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators in the conference sessions. The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals is not compulsory but each will help us determine the quality of your proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted. Final slides are to be provided by 21 January 2008. Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 6 August 2007, a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance. The NZNOG conference 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 NZNOG conferences, 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 unforgiving, 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 ------------------- NZNOG conferences are community run and funded events that try to keep the cost to attendees as low as possible so generally we are unable to pay the travel costs of speakers. There is a limited amount of funding available to international speakers. Conference presenters will not have to pay any registration fee for the day they are presenting. Discounts for SIG and lightning talk presenters may be available but are not automatic. Lightning talks --------------- Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than 10 minutes. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a full talk. At NZNOG 2008 it is planned that there will be at least one hour long lightning talk session. Sponsors -------- There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various aspects of the NZNOG meeting. Please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org for more information Contact ------- Website * http://2008.nznog.org General Enquiries * info(a)nznog.org Talks and Papers * prog08(a)nznog.org Talk Proposals -------------- Please send all talk proposals (including lightning talks) to prog08(a)nznog.org along with the requested information. Questions regarding talks can be sent to the same address. Sponsorship may be available for a limited number of overseas speakers to attend the conference, please indicate if you require assistance with travel and/or accommodation. Author's Full Name: Author's Email Address: Author's affiliation: Author's short biography: Title of Talk: Abstract: Length of talk: Please provide details if a version of this talk has previously been given: Will travel and accommodation assistance be required:
