Accommodation Early Bird Has Ended - Other Options
by Jesse Archer 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi All, Just a heads up that the Trinity Wharf early bird pricing ended yesterday. Other options if you're looking to save some $$ are listed at the following link, but I wouldn't muck around (Tauranga is one of NZ's Summer hot spots). http://www.nznog.org/nznog17/venue Conference is selling nicely, if you're interested in the Workshop or Tutorials on offer, don't muck around - only a few spots left on those. Conference will finish at 4.30pm on Friday Jan 27. Your direct flight home options on this date include: *Auckland 5pm & 6:20pm* *Wellington 5:25pm* *Christchurch 4:00pm (transit via Wellington or Auckland available at 5:25pm or 6:20pm).* Check-in is 20 minutes before departure, I'd allow 30 minutes travel time from the venue to the airport just in case there is some peak Friday afternoon traffic on Hewletts Road (lots of traffic lights). Regards, Jesse Archer On Behalf Of The NZNOG Trustees

Strange issues in CHCH - Routing SYN Timeouts
by Brad Nightingale 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi We are experiencing weird issues from out of our internet break out in CHCH. I don't want to drop our upstream in it so no names mentioned, but yes a ticket has been logged with them - this is just becoming urgent as it started . Since I have done this I have had reports from other IT Service Providers that say their customers are experiencing the same thing. Basically we can ping anything, but we cant web browse to wide range of certain sites (e.g. www.bnz.co.nz) - these would appear to be internationally hosted sites but I can't categorically state this. We are getting SYN Timeouts almost like there is async routing somewhere way up stream or some random MTU issue. I don't expect to have anyone solve the problem from this email, just a "yes there is an issue and we are experiencing it too and know XXX is working on it" would be helpful to know. Thanks Brad ________________________________ CAUTION: This communication, including any attachments are confidential.

Network Status/Anecdotes from #eqnz
by Joel Wirāmu Pauling 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Hi all, Hope everyone is safe; thoughts are with everyone back home. As I went through the call list of friends and family this morning ; from the considerably less shakey Eastern Canada - my mind turned to work and network operators. Have a fairly rag-tag list of info mostly anecdotal from users on a variety of places (twitter/reddit/g+) about loss of services from ISP's (Nelson area seems pretty hard hit) Wondering how everyone's networks have held up and if there are any pain points, am sure the people at the forefront are already hard at work and sharing resources as required. But if there is anything people can and/or are willing to share it would be appreciated. -Joel

NZNOG 2017 Sponsorship and Conference Update
by Dave Mill 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi all First of all, I'd like to welcome aboard Go Wireless NZ as our naming and Platinum sponsor for NZNOG 2017. NZNOG conferences just wouldn't be possible without sponsors like Go Wireless NZ so I'd strongly encourage you all to support them. Check out their website - https://www.gowifi.co.nz/ At the moment we haven't had as many sponsors come on-board as we would have hoped for. If you have been considering sponsoring NZNOG but haven't made contact yet please do so. If you know any companies that might consider sponsoring NZNOG please encourage them also. sponsorship(a)nznog.org is the email address for any sponsorship inquiries. If we don't get more sponsors on-board we may have to consider raising conference fees slightly. We'd really hope to not do this and to keep NZNOG at its standard low cost. We have a $1000 community sponsor level available so even having a few more companies/organisations coming on-board at that level would help a lot. We have a call for papers for the conference out. Richard Nelson posted this on Oct 13 to the list - its also available at http://www.nznog.org/call-for-papers . We have just locked in our first workshop (23 - 25 Jan) and tutorial (25 Jan) and hope to have more options soon. We'll aim to release some more details on these soon. Finally, we've had a few people book in accommodation at our venue nice and early which is great to see. A reminder, this conference is in Tauranga in the height of summer and accommodation will be at a premium. Some accommodation options are available here - http://www.nznog.org/nznog17/venue . Look forward to seeing you next year. Cheers Dave (on behalf of the NZNOG trust) http://www.nznog.org/nznog17

Juniper EX4600 "process switching"?
by Ewen McNeill 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to investigate what looks like certain paths of inter-virtual-router layer 3 switching (routing, via routes leaked into the VR) on a Juniper EX4600 (and I'd guess QFX5100) being sent via the supervisor CPU? Searching online turns up lots of advice for investigating, eg, "process switching" on Cisco (eg, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-software-r…), but I'm not finding much documented for Juniper :-( From the customer point of view the most obvious symptom is approximately 10-20 ms additional latency on a local routed path (VLAN A on VR 1 to VLAN B on VR 2), but apparently only in one direction (ie, if we bypass the EX4600 in the problematic direction then it "seems to be okay". It happens even when there's basically no traffic (eg, under 1Mbps on a 1Gbps link), and only a couple of dozen devices on each VLAN. (At times we've seen the latency as high as 1000+ ms -- so over 1s, for local traffic -- but that was at a busier site.) From an internal point of view, the most obvious symptom is that the forwarding-options analzyer shows ingress/egress on one of the VLANs, but only ingress on the other VLAN; and "monitor traffic ..." shows only the missing egress traffic. Since I'd understood "monitor traffic" to only see traffic that goes via the supervisor CPU, I'm starting to wonder if the latency is coming due to the packet flow in that direction going through the processor CPU -- for some unknown reason. This is happening at two sites, but they're basically identical EX4600s facing basically identical switches, and equivalently configured routing instances in each. The two VLANs are sub-interfaces on the same aggregation (ae1) to the same switch, so it's sort of hairpinned, but via leaked static routes in the two routing instances. The on-VLAN hardware at each site is pretty similar too. So we're guessing the cause is the same, but don't know what it is. We've already tried testing with the aggregation down to a single link, and it appears to make no difference. We've also forced ethernet flow control off at both ends, without making a difference. Any thoughts, particularly to see what path through the EX4600 packets are taking, welcomed. Or documentation for how the EX4600/QFX5100 packet forwarding engine architecture works (I can find M/T/MX documents, but not the one I want...). Thanks, Ewen
