I get 56.25MB... I have this ancient spreadsheet with a few assumptions.... I basically round 10bits to the byte to cover overheads in the packet, etc. So a data rate of say 128kbps is 12.8KB per sec or 0.13Mbps 768KB per minute or 7.68Mbps 46080 KB per hour or 460.9 Mbps or 46.08 MBytes per hour Remembering that you will get silence and various other things (outages, etc) it will always be an approximation. It just gives you a feel for the order of magnitude of the bill :-) Most stations actually have a second stream in reserve for special "promotional" occassions and they kick them into life every now and then, just to muck up the stats. The biggest use of it has been to work out that a 10GB plan is OK for radio stations at 32Kbps streams. Now that 40+GB plans are out, folks are looking at webcams again and it looks like we can stream a camera and stay inside a 40GB plan at 128k video, which isn't too bad looking. I should probably rework the spreadsheet for HD streams at 10Mbps. It looks like 5TB a month. And yes, IPV6 and multicast will solve all our problems, including world hunger and the endless shortage of beer. But I'm showing my age......

(If you have IPv6) Looking at http://www.v6.co.nz/ on the 'Who Provides IPv6' there's nothing - is there an NZ provider of IPv6? I know this topic has come up on the list before, and it usually degrades in circular discussions - it would be nice to hear 'Yes, ISP X offers IP6 within NZ'. Without anyone spieling on about the glories of their own wares, of course :^) Gerard

New Sepctrum Auction
by Paul Horak 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Plans for auctioning the 2.3Ghz band for BWA/WiMAX have been published: http://www.rsm.govt.nz/auctions/auction09/index.html I think there is a real opportunity here for some of us to get access to spectrum. At present the lions share (or possibly all of it) will go to two or three companies to build a nationwide network. There is also a proposal to allocate some spectrum for regional operators under a "Managed Park". I suspect there are quite a few people interested in this who have not yet been in contact with RSM - it is essential that you let RSM know your interest and you respond to this consultation document. If the vast majority of comments come from the large providers wishing to deploy nationwide networks then I suspect there will be little or no regional spectrum available. I would also be grateful if you can contact me off list if you have an interest in obtaining spectrum for regional use. I have some ideas that might help our cause that I would like to share.

IPv6 Incentive
by Andrew Ruthven 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hey, During the NZNOG conference it was joked that if the next WoW pack required IPv6 then IPv6 would be rolled out by the ISPs (and transit providers) for the next morning. See the attached mail for an experiment that might be cause it to be rolled out for that evening...

I think this thread should confine itself to technical matters. Discussion of how to promote ipv6 usage should avoid language and concepts that might be offensive to some people (or their work's filters). Discussion about what is or is not offensive should not be conducted on the list. Simon.

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 09 Apr '07

09 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: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS9889 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Maximum Internet Ltd - AS9889 members: 123.100.64.0/18^18-29, 202.89.32.0/19^19-29, 203.89.160.0/19^19-29, 202.55.96.0/20^20-29, 210.55.100.0/22^22-29, 210.55.104.0/22^22-29, 192.138.251.0/24^24-29, 202.6.5.0/24^24-29, 202.6.116.0/24^24-29, 202.27.204.0/24^24-29, 202.36.70.0/24^24-29, 202.36.227.0/24^24-29, 202.37.72.0/24^24-29, 202.37.181.0/24^24-29, 202.49.141.0/24^24-29, 202.150.102.0/24^24-29, 203.12.15.0/24^24-29, 203.97.42.0/24^24-29, 210.54.13.0/24^24-29, 210.54.142.0/24^24-29, 210.55.169.0/24^24-29, 210.55.214.0/24^24-29, 210.55.230.0/24^24-29, 203.167.219.56/29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc(a)maxnet.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070111 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS9889 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Maximum Internet Ltd - AS9889 members: 123.100.64.0/18^18-29, 202.89.32.0/19^19-29, 203.89.160.0/19^19-29, 202.55.96.0/20^20-29, 202.189.160.0/21^21-29, 210.55.100.0/22^22-29, 210.55.104.0/22^22-29, 192.138.251.0/24^24-29, 202.6.5.0/24^24-29, 202.6.116.0/24^24-29, 202.27.204.0/24^24-29, 202.36.70.0/24^24-29, 202.36.227.0/24^24-29, 202.37.72.0/24^24-29, 202.37.162.0/24^24-29, 202.37.181.0/24^24-29, 202.49.141.0/24^24-29, 202.150.102.0/24^24-29, 203.12.15.0/24^24-29, 203.97.42.0/24^24-29, 210.54.13.0/24^24-29, 210.54.142.0/24^24-29, 210.55.169.0/24^24-29, 210.55.214.0/24^24-29, 210.55.230.0/24^24-29, 203.167.219.56/29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc(a)maxnet.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070410 source: NZRR

More ‘public park’ broadband wireless spectrum released
by Dan Clark 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

source from RSM update... More 'public park' broadband wireless spectrum released Further radio spectrum for broadband wireless access has been made available with changes made to the Radiocommunications (General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices) Notice. The government has opened the 5.47 – 5.725 GHz and 57 - 64 GHz radio frequency bands as 'public park' spectrum for broadband wireless services suitable for expanding wireless local area networks (Wi-Fi) and to extend the reach of existing fibre optic networks. Access to 'public park' spectrum does not attract a licence fee. Previously licensed users in the bands should be able to continue to operate without being unduly impacted. The General User Radio Licence contains conditions to ensure that broadband wireless equipment operating in the 5.47 – 5.725 GHz band does not cause interference to existing radar operations that share this band. Access to the 5.47 – 5.725 GHz band augments access to the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands and more than doubles the spectrum that is now exclusively available for wireless local area networks. The General User Radio Licence also contains conditions to ensure that broadband wireless access equipment operating in the 57 – 64 GHz band minimises interference, and maximises reliability and utility within the band. Access to this spectrum may be used to provide short-range (~1 Km) high capacity (1 Gbit/sec) point-to-point links used to extend the reach of fibre-optic cabling, and/or to provide high speed short range backhaul for telecommunications network infrastructure.
