AS paths from NZIX route servers
by Lincoln Reid 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hi All, Currently ( all? ) the NZIX route servers insert the exchange ASN into routes that are advertised to the route servers. The exchanges that we peer with overseas such as Any2 in LA, Equinix Sydney and NSW-IX plus the new AKL-IX exchange do not insert the exchange ASN into advertisements, so all else being equal the paths from those exchanges are shorter than routes from APE and WIX by one AS hop. There are other NZ networks like us that peer at APE and/or WIX and also peer at overseas exchanges and to have optimal traffic flows with them, we put in one off hacks per network. The least ugly ways of doing this for us work fine but create per peer config that must be maintained. Ideally we can put bilateral peering up at APE and WIX so that the extra AS hop goes away but sometimes bilateral peering is impractical due to the other networks peering policy. I can't think of a reason why putting the exchange ASN in the path helps anyone. Is this just a hangover from the old days? Or is there some legitimate reason that it should be like this? Cheers, -- Lincoln Reid Head of Networks ACSData - AS18119 lincoln(a)acsdata.co.nz Phone: +64 4 939 2200 Fax: +64 4 939 2201

Fwd: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks
by Mark Prior 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

In case people are interested in heading across the ditch for AusNOG in September. Mark. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:29:24 +0930 From: Mark Prior <mrp(a)mrp.net> To: ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net <ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net> Hello, The AusNOG web site has now been updated with the AusNOG 2016 programme. See <http://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2016> for more details on the programme and abstracts for most of the presentations. As you will notice this year we will again be having a short lightning talk session. Anyone registered to attend AusNOG is welcome to submit a proposal to <organisers(a)ausnog.net> by 29 August 2016. A lightning talk is a short presentation on topics that are either too short, too timely or too preliminary to include on the general agenda, or even just something to stir up some discussion. There is no requirement for slides. As we tried to cram in as many presentations as possible this year time for lightning talks is limited and so we may need to restrict them to 5 minutes (or just run late :-) The organisers would like to especially encourage people who haven't spoken at an AusNOG before to consider having a go. Kind Regards, Mark Prior (For the AusNOG Board) _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list AusNOG(a)lists.ausnog.net http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog

Re: [nznog] Perth to Singapore link cut
by Regan Murphy 21 Jul '16

Would affect traffic to the Microsoft datacenters in Singapore and Hong Kong, think we have some bw on that leg. Alternate routes via JPN or Guam are much slower ☹ Sent from my Windows 10 phone From: Don Stokes<mailto:don(a)daedalus.co.nz> Sent: Friday, 22 July 2016 5:05 PM To: NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz<mailto:NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> Subject: [nznog] Perth to Singapore link cut I just got a note from Vocus indicating a failure in the Perth to Singapore link. Hasn't had too much impact - the Japan based M.root-servers.net is showing a longish RTT routing via California (going from ~205ms to ~265ms). Not sure if it affects anyone in NZ other than Vocus-connected sites. Looks like the cut occurred around 14:53 today (NZST). -- don _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz https://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
