IPv6 WIX Route Server being upgraded
by Dylan Hall 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

The IPv6 WIX route server will be disappearing for a short time this afternoon while it is upgraded. The upgrade fixes a couple of quagga bugs, gives us a newer OS/Kernel, and adds support for MD5 auth (passwords) and 4-byte ASN's. If anyone is interested in testing the new features please drop an email to: tech <at> citylink.co.nz. If anyone has any issues with the route server after the upgrade, please drop an email to: faults <at> citylink.co.nz. or call the usual fault numbers. Thanks, Dylan

Try mastershaper (www.mastershaper.org) I haven't used it but it looks pretty Jonathon Exley ------------- Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 23:54:30 +1200 (NZST) From: "Michael Fincham" <michael(a)unleash.co.nz> Subject: [nznog] Traffic shaping To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Hello Everyone, What're people using for traffic shaping and prioritisation these days?

Hotmail
by Simon Garner 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Has anyone else here encountered issues where email to Hotmail is just silently discarded? Hotmail's servers accept the email for delivery, but then it never appears in the inbox, nor the Junk folder. I have been trying to work through this problem with a customer for the last couple of weeks and it's got me stumped. The domain (simpleas.co.nz) of the server the customer is sending from has SPF and SenderID records, and mail to other sites works fine (Gmail for example shows "PASS" for the SPF records). I am offering free beer for the first person with a working solution. PS: I'd ask Hotmail, but it seems like it's not worth the effort: http://davesource.com/Bugs/hotmail.1.html Cheers, -- Simon Garner Technical Director <sgarner(a)expio.co.nz> EXPIO Communications Ltd <http://www.expio.co.nz>

Network changes at Xtra ...
by Tim John - Domainz 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Hi, We're having a number of customers complain about email not being delivered over the Xtra network. Error messages being submitted to us are similar to: Apr 24 00:00:37 web1 postfix/smtp[14312]: 999977E99E: to=<xx(a)xtra.co.nz>, orig_to=<les(a)xx.co.nz>, relay=mta.xtra.co.nz[210.54.141.1], delay=7174, status=deferred (host mta.xtra.co.nz[210.54.141.1] said: 421 Message rejected (in reply to end of DATA command)) We know Xtra have recently being changing setting on firewall/router combination as we had a similar issue last week .... It looks like they are doing it again ! What really takes the biscuit is that customers who call Xtra are told that it's a fault of someone else i.e ours !! We're happy to take calls from these customers, but we would like to give them the right information, unlike Xtra is doing ! Could someone Xtra contact me off list, please. Sorry if this is off topic, but it's mighty frustrating as this is a continuous battle .. Thanks, Tim

[Fwd: IPv6 Type 0 Route Header Design Flaw]
by Juha Saarinen 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Apropos the recent discussions about IPv6: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: IPv6 Type 0 Route Header Design Flaw Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 20:09:19 +0200 From: Marc Balmer <mbalmer(a)openbsd.org> Organization: The OpenBSD Project To: security-announce(a)openbsd.org IPv6 type 0 route headers can be used to mount a DoS attack against hosts and networks. This is a design flaw in IPv6 and not a bug in OpenBSD. This problem has been fixed in the OpenBSD CVS repository in the -current and -stable branches. The -current snapshots of OpenBSD contain these fixes as well. It is recommended that users of OpenBSD update their kernel asap using cvs or manually apply the source code patches listed below. A source code patch for OpenBSD 4.0-stable can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.0/common/012_route6.patch. A source code patch for OpenBSD 3.9-stable can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.9/common/022_route6.patch. -- Juha Saarinen * Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur * www.geekzone.co.nz/juha

"I've consulted a map, and while Dunedin isn't in Auckland or Wellington, it does appear to be part of New Zealand", said Jonny Martin, chair of the organising committee. "This announcement represents an opportunity for those intending to come to next year's conference to think about arranging travel more than two or three days before the event." Look out for more information, including a Call For Presentations, by mid-May. - Donald Neal For the Organising Committee Donald Neal | Joe Abley Rules!

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '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:AS23754 descr: Route set advertised to AS9439 by Cafenet CHC - AS23754 members: 198.48.3.64/28^28-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: simon(a)citylink.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070402 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS23754 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Citylink - AS23754 members: 198.48.0.0/22^22-29, 202.8.44.0/22^22-29, 202.7.6.0/23^23-29, 97.64.46.0/24^24-29, 198.32.71.0/24^24-29, 202.7.5.0/24^24-29, 203.118.144.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: simon(a)citylink.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070423 source: NZRR
