Fwd: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2016 programme and initial call for lightning talks
by Mark Prior 26 Jul '16

26 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

Trying to locate a cell device of the coast of Otago
by Travis Baird 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi everyone. I am posting here as a last resort and this isn't really relevant to to this group, but more than anything I am hoping someone here may have some more knowledge about cellular technology than me. I have a customer that has lost a fairly expensive Buoy off the cost of Otago and it's GPS has stopped working. Vodafone have confirmed they are still seeing it connected to their cell tower (2G only) but the Vodafone helpdesk people aren't particularly helpful when we start asking them about options for finding a rough location at sea so we have an idea where to look for it. Does anyone know if it's possible to triangulate a location of a cellular device these days? Is there a cutoff distance from the tower that the device will no longer be able to connect (e.g. if there is this helps narrow the search area at least)? Does anyone have an contact details for someone at VF that might be able to help? If anyone has any info that might help, please contact me off list. Thanks in advance.

A Leap Second will be added at 2016/12/31 23:59:60 UTC (Security=UNCLASSIFIED)
by HENDERSON MIKE, MR 20 Jul '16

FYI/A A Leap Second will be added to the world's clocks at 2016/12/31 23:59:59/60 UTC. Owing to the fortuitous operation of the rotating globe, this will happen at lunchtime NZ Time (noon or 13:00, depending on how NZ Summer Time works) on New Year's Day 2017, so will more likely affect our post-prandial nap than interrupt our New Year revels Details below sig block.

Large increase in traffic
by Dave Mill 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi We're seeing a large increase in inbound traffic levels today. Appears to be coming in both over peering links and internationally. Right now it appears to be Microsoft related. An AKL-IX graph shows it well - http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?local_graph_id=14&rra_id=all Or the MS port: http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=137&rra… Does anyone else have more information to add as to what MS patches or similar are causing this? And over what borders this traffic is entering their networks? Cheers Dave

Huge increase in Spam traffic over the past few days - Domains registered with MelbourneIT?
by Cameron Bradley 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi All, Wondering if anyone else has seen the same situation in their environments. Our MTAs are taking an absolute pounding (and as a result I'm not sleeping much!) from a bunch of hosts with PTRs for domains ending in 'eas.com' (ex 'leipai168eas.com', 'attractive7eas.com', 'theevermoreseas.com', 'bajasouleas.com'). All the domains seem to be registered through Melbourne IT to random gmail addresses (which themselves look spammy!) and using cloudns nameservers. There has also been a noted increase in traffic from other domains, but this one stood out to me as a pattern. We've got mitigations in play, but I'd still be interested to see if anyone else was experiencing any noise. Cheers, Cam
