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

Huawei AR160 - Chorus VDSL config anyone?
by Mike Taylor 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Just thought I'd chuck this out there, as my Google-fu seems to be failing. Does anyone have a known good, Chorus Wholesale, VDSL config for an Huawei AR160 router? (The look like a Cisco 800 series, NOT the white,plastic consumer version) Specifically, I'm having an issue where PPPoE Active Discovery is working. The ISP core starts sending PPPoE LCP requests, and the Huawei _seems_ to think it's sending replies, but I'm wiresharking it in our core, and PPPoE frames are NOT making it back to us...

PCH peering survey 2016
by Bill Woodcock 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Background: Five years ago PCH conducted the first, and to date only, comprehensive survey characterizing Internet peering agreements. The document that resulted can be found here: https://www.pch.net/resources/Papers/peering-survey/PCH-Peering-Survey-2011… <https://www.pch.net/resources/Papers/peering-survey/PCH-Peering-Survey-2011…> That document was one of the principal inputs to an important document that the OECD publishes every five years, one that recommends communications regulatory policy to OECD member nations: http://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=DSTI/I… <http://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=DSTI/I…> The survey had several useful findings which hadn’t previously been established as fact—most notably the portion of peering relationships that are “handshake” agreements, without written contract. These findings have improved the regulatory environments in which many of us operate our networks. At the time of the 2011 survey, we committed to repeating the survey every five years, so as to provide an ongoing indication of the direction peering trends take. It’s now five years later, so we’re repeating the survey. The survey is global in scope, and our goal is to reflect the diversity of peering agreements in the world; we’re interested in large ISPs and small ISPs, ISPs in Afghanistan and in Zimbabwe, bilateral agreements and multilateral, private and public. Our intent is to be as comprehensive as possible. In 2011, the responses we received represented 86% of all of the world’s ISPs and 96 countries. We would like to be at least as inclusive this time. Privacy: In 2011, we promised to collect the smallest set of data necessary to answer the questions, to perform the analysis immediately, and not to retain the data after the analysis was accomplished. In that way, we ensured that the privacy of respondents was fully protected. We did as we said, no data was leaked, and the whole community benefited from the trust that was extended to us. We ask for your trust again now as we make the same commitment to protect the privacy of all respondents, using the same process as last time. We are asking for no more data than is absolutely necessary. We will perform the analysis immediately upon receiving all of the data. We will delete the data once the analysis has been performed. The Survey: We would like to know the following five pieces of information relative to each Autonomous System you peer with: • Your ASN • Your peer’s ASN (peers only, not upstream transit providers or downstream customers) • Whether a written and signed peering agreement exists (the alternative being a less formal arrangement, such as a "handshake agreement") • Whether the terms are roughly symmetric (the alternative being that they describe an agreement with different terms for each of the two parties, such as one compensating the other, or one receiving more or fewer than full customer routes) • Whether a jurisdiction of governing law is defined • Whether IPv6 routes are being exchanged (this year, we’ll still assume that IPv4 are) The easiest way for us to receive the information is as a tab-text or CSV file or an Excel spreadsheet, consisting of rows with the following columns: Your ASN: Integer Peer ASN: Integer Written agreement: Boolean Symmetric: Boolean Governing Law: ISO 3166 two-digit country-code, or empty IPv6 Routes: Boolean For instance: 42 <tab> 715 <tab> false <tab> true <tab> us <tab> true <cr> 42 <tab> 3856 <tab> true <tab> true <tab> us <tab> true <cr> We are asking for the ASNs only so we can avoid double-counting a single pair of peers when we hear from both of them, and so that when we hear about a relationship in responses from both peers we can see how closely the two responses match, an important check on the quality of the survey. As soon as we've collated the data, we'll strip the ASNs to protect privacy, and only the final aggregate statistics will be published. We will never disclose any ASN or any information about any ASN. We already have more than 8,000 ASN-pair relationships documented, and we hope to receive as many more as possible. We'd like to finish collecting data by the end of September, about two weeks from now. If you’re peering with an MLPA route-server, you’re welcome to include just the route-server’s ASN, if that’s easiest, rather than trying to include each of the peer ASNs on the other side of the route-server. Either way is fine. If all of your sessions have the same characteristics, you can just tell us what those characteristics are once, your own ASN once, and give us a simple list of your peer ASNs. If your number of peers is small enough to be pasted or typed into an email, rather than attached as a file, and that’s simpler, just go ahead and do that. If you have written peering agreements that are covered by non-disclosure agreements, or if your organizational policy precludes disclosing your peers, but you’d still like to participate in the survey, please let us know, and we’ll work with whatever information you’re able to give us and try to ensure that your practices are statistically represented in our results. If you're able to help us, please email me the data in whatever form you can. If you need a non-disclosure, we're happy to sign one. Finally, if there are any other questions you’d like to see answered in the future, please let us know so that we can consider addressing them in the 2021 survey. The question about IPv6 routing in this year’s survey is there because quite a few of the 2011 respondents asked us to include it this time. Please respond by replying to this email, before the end of September. Thank you for considering participating. We very much appreciate it, and we look forward to returning the results to the community. -Bill Woodcock Executive Director Packet Clearing House
