29 Jun '06

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has no king, president or formal membership. It consists of the subscribers to this mailing list. The group is intended to facilitate discussion among operators of networks in New Zealand on matters relevant to network operators, as described in the list's Acceptable Use Policy, which appears later in this posting. Conference We are working towards our next annual conference, to be held early in 2007. Other Meetings See http://auckland.thursdaynightcurry.com/ or http://wellington.thursdaynightcurry.com/ if you live in or near Auckland or Wellington. Operators' Contact List See http://www.usenet.net.nz/noc/ for operational contact details for most New Zealand ISP's. These are intended for use by other network operators, not by most customers. Internet Exchanges See http://www.nzix.net/ for details of exchanges in operation, and some information on others under construction. About This Mailing List This list has around 900 addresses subscribed. You may only post to the list from a subscribed address. A number of people subscribe addresses which do not receive email purely to allow posting from them. You may choose to receive postings as they come in, or just to receive daily "digests". See the bottom of the page http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog/ to change the form in which you receive postings. The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of Waikato, and is administered by employees of Alcatel NZ Ltd, Citylink and Telecom. None of these organisations, nor any administrator, is responsible for its content. NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable. 6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable. 7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are discouraged. 8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats is discouraged. 9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. 10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to be immediately announced to the list. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/ Any message sent to the list will be archived and made available on the web automatically. Changes are not made to the archive on request, though the administrators remain happy to assist the Office of the Privacy Commissioner should any complaint be laid with that office. One way to search the archive is to use google and prefix your search With site:list.waikato.ac.nz . Subscribing to the List See http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog to subscribe.

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:AS9872 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Actrix Networks - AS9872 members: 202.154.128.0/19^19-29, 203.96.16.0/20^20-29, 203.96.48.0/20^20-29, 202.36.204.0/23^23-29, 192.100.53.0/24^24-29, 202.49.158.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc(a)actrix.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20051114 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS9872 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Actrix Networks - AS9872 members: 202.154.128.0/19^19-29, 203.96.16.0/20^20-29, 203.96.48.0/20^20-29, 203.96.128.0/20^20-29, 202.49.152.0/21^21-29, 202.36.204.0/23^23-29, 192.100.53.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc(a)actrix.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060629 source: NZRR

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:AS2687 descr: advertised to AS9560 by AT&T - AS2687 members: 202.46.160.0/20^20-29, 202.126.80.0/21^21-29, 202.160.112.0/21^21-29, 202.175.128.0/21^21-29, 202.14.20.0/22^22-29, 202.36.192.0/22^22-29, 152.158.254.0/23^23-29, 202.14.82.0/23^23-29, 202.36.68.0/23^23-29, 202.36.198.0/23^23-29, 202.135.48.0/23^23-29, 203.163.70.0/23^23-29, 192.203.216.0/24^24-29, 202.12.105.0/24^24-29, 202.14.84.0/24^24-29, 202.14.252.0/24^24-29, 202.21.128.0/24^24-29, 202.27.76.0/24^24-29, 202.27.140.0/24^24-29, 202.27.160.0/24^24-29, 202.27.250.0/24^24-29, 202.36.29.0/24^24-29, 202.36.80.0/24^24-29, 202.36.233.0/24^24-29, 202.37.254.0/24^24-29, 202.49.144.0/24^24-29, 202.50.137.0/24^24-29, 202.135.20.0/24^24-29, 202.135.34.0/24^24-29, 202.135.38.0/24^24-29, 202.135.62.0/24^24-29, 202.135.64.0/24^24-29, 202.135.85.0/24^24-29, 202.135.107.0/24^24-29, 202.135.111.0/24^24-29, 202.135.112.0/24^24-29, 202.135.116.0/24^24-29, 202.135.142.0/24^24-29, 202.135.146.0/24^24-29, 202.135.182.0/24^24-29, 202.135.185.0/24^24-29, 202.135.190.0/24^24-29, 202.135.192.0/24^24-29, 202.135.231.0/24^24-29, 202.135.234.0/24^24-29, 203.57.145.0/24^24-29, 203.163.68.0/24^24-29, 203.163.86.0/24^24-29, 203.163.94.0/24^24-29, 203.163.98.0/24^24-29, 203.196.101.0/24^24-29, 203.196.119.0/24^24-29, 203.196.121.0/24^24-29, 210.55.5.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: david.lister(a)ap.att.com mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060606 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS2687 descr: advertised to AS9560 by AT&T - AS2687 members: 202.46.160.0/20^20-29, 202.126.80.0/21^21-29, 202.160.112.0/21^21-29, 202.36.192.0/22^22-29, 152.158.254.0/23^23-29, 202.36.68.0/23^23-29, 202.135.48.0/23^23-29, 203.163.70.0/23^23-29, 202.12.105.0/24^24-29, 202.14.252.0/24^24-29, 202.21.128.0/24^24-29, 202.27.160.0/24^24-29, 202.36.29.0/24^24-29, 202.36.80.0/24^24-29, 202.37.254.0/24^24-29, 202.49.144.0/24^24-29, 202.50.137.0/24^24-29, 202.135.20.0/24^24-29, 202.135.34.0/24^24-29, 202.135.38.0/24^24-29, 202.135.62.0/24^24-29, 202.135.64.0/24^24-29, 202.135.85.0/24^24-29, 202.135.107.0/24^24-29, 202.135.111.0/24^24-29, 202.135.112.0/24^24-29, 202.135.116.0/24^24-29, 202.135.142.0/24^24-29, 202.135.146.0/24^24-29, 202.135.182.0/24^24-29, 202.135.185.0/24^24-29, 202.135.190.0/24^24-29, 202.135.192.0/24^24-29, 202.135.231.0/24^24-29, 202.135.234.0/24^24-29, 203.57.145.0/24^24-29, 203.163.68.0/24^24-29, 203.163.86.0/24^24-29, 203.163.94.0/24^24-29, 203.163.98.0/24^24-29, 203.196.101.0/24^24-29, 203.196.119.0/24^24-29, 203.196.121.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: mark.crawford(a)ap.att.com mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060622 source: NZRR

NZ regional IPs
by Steve Boyd 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Hi there - we've recentely put a fairly simple broadband speedtest online at http://www.consumerspeedtest.org.nz <http://www.consumerspeedtest.org.nz/> (hosted on a VPS on www.openhost.co.nz <outbind://2/www.openhost.co.nz> which uses www.maxnet.co.nz <outbind://2/www.maxnet.co.nz> as their ISP in case you're interested) Along with the the provider, plan, download and upload speeds we're also recording the users IP address - I'm wondering if it's possible to work out what city / region the user is from based on their IP? Cheers Steve

Depends on the ISP and how they configure their network. In IHUG's case, no, as all users terminate in Auckland on LNS's, and given IP's out of the same pool.
