NZNOG 06 - Call for Participation and Papers The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Wellington between 22-24 March 2006. Our hosts are The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at Victoria University. The conference will take place the week before the Wellington ICANN meeting in order enable people to attend both events. NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand. The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from New Zealand Internet orientated companies. The planned format is one day of streamed Special Interest Group ( SIG ) Meetings followed by 2 days of the conference proper. Sponsors -------- There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various aspects of the NZNOG meeting. Please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org for more information SIG Meetings ------------ The first day of the conference is arranged as parallel tracks to cover subject material which is of interest to particular groups of attendees. Proposals are requested for workshops, tutorials and other appropriate special-interest meetings of interest to Network Operators. Presentations ------------- NZNOG invites presentations on relevant topics. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to Network Monitoring, Peering , Network Design Philosophy, Security and Encryption, IPV6, DDOS, WAN Solutions / VPNs, BGP and other routing protocols, ENUM, Fibre Optics, Wireless, Spam, Mail Servers, Virtual Servers (eg Xen, UML, VMware). Presentations from researchers and from practitioners are welcomed. Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length. The survey of mailing list members was conducted in early 2005 to determine areas of interest, the results are available here: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2005-May/010020.html If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions at then end of this document and email them to talks(a)nznog.org .

[Apologies for duplicates] APNIC 20 update #8 ______________________________ 20th APNIC Open Policy Meeting 6-9 September 2005 Hanoi, Vietnam ______________________________ Dear APNIC members and friends, There are now only three weeks to go until the APNIC 20 meeting in Hanoi. This is an update announcement with important information on two of the workshops being conducted in conjunction with APNIC 20. Contents -------- 1. IPv6 workshop 2. Pre-conference routing workshop 1. IPv6 workshop ---------------- Places are still available for the full-day IPv6 workshop presented by Jordi Palet (Consulintel). Date: Tuesday 6 September 2005 IPv6, the new Internet protocol is currently being deployed around the world, and it is important for ISPs and upstream providers to start considering IPv6 deployment in their own networks if they are to meet the expected growth in customer demand. This workshop offers a brief, practical introduction to the basics of IPv6. Participants will learn how to activate IPv6 on their own laptops, and be given practical instruction on: * Installing IPv6 on different platforms (XP/W2003, Linux, BSD) * Basic stateless/stateful configuration, including privacy setup * Transition mechanisms * Examples of applications During the workshop the attendees will also learn to do some basic monitoring and troubleshooting of the IPv6 network. Details are available at: http://www.apnic.net/meetings/20/programme/ipv6-ws.html 2. Pre-conference routing workshop ---------------------------------- Places are still available for the six-day routing workshop (including the 3-day Routing essentials workshop and the 3-day Routing and multihoming workshop) Routing essentials workshop by Amante Alvaran (APNIC Training team) Date: Tuesday 30 August - Thursday 1 September 2005 (no sessions on the national holiday, Friday 2 September) This routing essentials workshop covers basic network infrastructure design principles that will allow participants to understand and configure interior and exterior gateway routing protocols. The workshop will begin by introducing participants to OSPF and BGP, and will cover the principles of routing policy, including router configuration under both protocols. Routing and multihoming workshop by Philip Smith (Cisco) Date: Saturday 3 September - Monday 5 September 2005 This workshop is designed to provide an empowering learning environment. This is a technical workshop and attendees should be technical staff who are operating a wide area TCP/IP base Internet Service Provider (ISP) network or Internet eXchange Point (IXP), likely with international and/or multi-provider connectivity. You will learn following in this workshop: * Techniques for design, set-up, and operation of a metropolitan, regional, or national ISP backbone network. This includes advanced BGP4 and complex network configurations. * IOS Essentials every ISP should be doing. The hidden secrets that all key NSPs have been using for years, but not telling anyone. * Techniques for multiple connections to the Internet (multihoming), including connections to IXPs, NSP, and transoceanic Internet links. Participants are expected to bring their own PC to all sessions of the pre-conference routing workshop. Details are available at: http://www.apnic.net/meetings/20/programme/routing-ws.html If you have any questions or suggestions about APNIC 20, please email the APNIC Secretariat at <meetings(a)apnic.net> We look forward to seeing you in Hanoi.

InternetNZ releases ENUM Personal User Agent Prototype software u nder Open Source BSD Licence.
by Michael Sutton 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

InternetNZ releases ENUM Personal User Agent Prototype software under Open Source BSD Licence. http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/enum/pua/2005-07-pua-media-release.html InternetNZ announced today the release of its ENUM "Personal User Agent" prototype source code under an Open Source BSD Licence. The release hopes to encourage developer support of an ENUM initiative in New Zealand. The code is available from http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/enum, as well as Reports prepared by the Task Force and a limited quantity of CDs. Subscribe to a public information list at http://farsight.internetnz.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/enum. ENUM is a set of Internet protocols, mapping telephone numbers onto the Internet naming system. Existing email addresses, web sites and alternate telephone contact addresses can be attached to this ENUM record. This record can be used by suitable handsets or (pabx type) computer programs to contact the number holder. ENUM is in government approved trial or production in approximately 30 countries. "Personal User Agents" (PUA) are software programs which act like firewalls; automatically filtering requests for ENUM contact information and deciding what information to release and how incoming calls will be directed based on rules that look at the inbound identity of the caller. This protects the consumer from address harvesting or privacy breaches. In theory every existing and future telephone number in the world could be ENUM provisioned. This provides a massive legacy base on which commercial PUA software can be built. Following completion of an ENUM PUA UCI Feasibility Study at the beginning of 2005 the prototype was developed by Catalyst IT (http://www.catalyst.net.nz) of Wellington, for InternetNZ. The PUA prototype was linked to another module known as the "Universal Communications Identifier" (UCI) which can bind an individual's name and service requirements to ENUM records and then be accessed by other PUAs. InternetNZ's combination of PUA, UCI and ENUM has attracted the interest of Europe's Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) who have referred InternetNZ's work to the European Commission. Future ENUM PUA software will enable users to opt-in to security services that will restrict publication of contact (email etc) information to anonymous callers and will permit intelligent routing of calls based on the relationship of the receiver to the caller and possible cost optimization of call termination and also increasing the rate of successful call completion for the networks. There are significant international opportunities for software developers to incorporate ENUM with PUA features into their existing communications software and directory services. InternetNZ anticipate that a number of software companies will work co-operatively to develop compatible systems that will compliment each other on different niche markets such as PUAs in the Telco-network, ISP, corporate business, SoHo and individual markets. Co-operating with the Government, Telecommunication Carriers Forum and applications developers, InternetNZ will participate and facilitate a New Zealand ENUM Trial over the next year that will provide a platform to test, demonstrate, commercialize applications and integrate ENUM to deliver economic advantage to the New Zealand community. InternetNZ welcomes enquiry from anyone interested in undertaking ENUM development work and participating in the Trial.
