You may find this alternative Looking Glass view of the NZIX Route Servers useful. http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi At this stage this is in addition to the original interfaces.

Problems with WIX route servers late last week.
by Simon Blake 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi folks This is a somewhat belated reply to those who might have noticed wiggyness with the WIX route servers late last week. Thanks to Lee from WorldExchange who first pointed out the problem. We eventually tracked it down fumble fingering at a local ISP, which caused a full route table to be sent to the route servers. As the route servers are RAM and CPU constrained, they didn't cope outstandingly well with this - while they didn't crash, they ran sufficiently slowly that other BGP sessions were getting randomly dropped. Once the offenders were tracked down and had their ways mended, it all came right. So we're currently thinking about ways to avoid this sort of DOS in future. Boxes with more headroom would be a start, so we're considering alternative hardware options at the moment. We're also considering the merits of running one RS with quagga, and one RS with OpenBGPD - that's a possibility into the future, but will require a certain amount of RPSL and looking glass rejigging before we could go live. Relatedly, Andy has been playing with alternate looking glass code, and has this under testing - the "looking glass for amiga users" (tm) http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi put your keyboard in the garage, click submit, and then keep clicking. Any feedback welcome. Cheers Simon

Soliciting peers for the root servers located in NZ...
by Peter Losher 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi, ISC is currently in the process of upgrading our routers in Auckland, and it behooves us to remind the local community that there is a local instance of f.root-servers.net here at the SkyTower, connected to APE. With the DDoS against several of the root servers back in February which proved our anycast model (most folks never noticed there was even a issue), we are once again soliciting peers across our 40+ nodes so we can "keep root server traffic local" wherever possible. So if you are not already peering with us and would wish to do so, please fill out our peering form here: http://www.isc.org/ops/peering/request/ For those of you that don't wish to peer with us over public IX's, we will consider private peering arrangements if you are already present (in the case of Auckland) at the SkyTower. For those of you only present at the WIX, might I suggest contacting Autonomica, who operate a instance of i.root-servers.net there. Hope to be peering with you soon (if we don't already). Best Wishes - Peter -- Peter_Losher(a)isc.org | ISC | OpenPGP 0xE8048D08 | "The bits must flow"

Notification of NZRR Database changes

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:AS18353 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Revera - AS18353 members: 202.55.99.0/24^24-29, 202.55.96.176/28^28-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: Marc.Nienkemper(a)revera.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060601 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS18353 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Revera Limited - AS18353 members: 192.88.85.0/24^24-29, 202.55.99.0/24^24-29, 202.55.100.96/27^27-29, 202.55.96.176/28^28-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: networkteam(a)revera.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070524 source: NZRR

Link-bonding scheduler on Allied Telesyn boxes
by Matthew Poole 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi Does anyone happen to know the link-bonding scheduling method used by AT 9812T and Switchblade 2008 boxes? We've seen _reduced_ performance with link bonding on these systems when connecting them to Linux boxes, and were wondering if there's a particular scheduling method that should be enabled on the Linux end. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
