Hi all Last week there was a formal announcement of our new, community run internet exchange. It hasn't made it to NZNOG yet so passing this along. See below for details. Cheers Dave ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joe Wooller <joe(a)akl-ix.nz> [image: page1image408] [image: page1image576] MEDIA RELEASE 17 March 2016 IAA supports the launch of NZ Internet Exchange Inc as foundation member “Following the overwhelming success of the Auckland Internet Exchange (AKL-IX) trial conducted by the Internet Association of Australia (IAA), operators of IX Australia, we are pleased to announce the launch of the New Zealand Internet Exchange Incorporated (NZIX Inc),” said Chairman Davey Goode. “Through the support of the team at IAA we have developed a member governed, neutral peering exchange which will provide easier and more cost effective interconnects for the internet community of New Zealand. “Moving forward the NZIX Inc committee will take on overseeing the management and growth of the exchange with the ongoing support of IAA.” “As a founding member of NZ-IX Inc we are committed to providing ongoing support to the exchange growth,” said IAA President Tom Berryman. “The development of an independent and neutral peering exchange in New Zealand benefits the internet community in the region by introducing more peering options and services, as well as our existing membership and peering base at home in Australia.” The AKL-IX exchange has been in a trial period for 12 months, and the exchange will commence charging for services from 1 July 2016. We are now inviting all our current peers to sign up as members of NZIX Inc by visiting https://portal.akl-ix.nz/ and ordering the required port size, 1GB or 10GB, both sizes will be charged at $350 NZD per month (excluding GST). NZIX looks forward to the support of our existing peers, and welcomes new peers to contact us to join.

Founded in 1995, as the Western Australian Internet Association (WAIA), the Association changed its name in early 2016 to better reflect our membership growth. IAA representatives are available for comment on a range of issues regarding the internet including, but not limited to, internet infrastructure, internet technologies and the use of the Internet in business. IAA is keen to provide independent, balanced information and impartial advice for Internet users including businesses, parents, kids, schools, seniors, the media, law enforcement and mobile users. For more information on IAA please visit our website www.internet.asn.au About IX-Australia and Peering IX-Australia is a service provided by the Internet Association of Australia to Corporate members. It is the longest running and lowest cost Internet Exchange in Australia. The Queensland (QLD-IX), Victorian (VIC-IX), South Australian (SA-IX), New South Wales (NSW-IX) and Australian Capital Territory (ACT-IX) services have built on the success of the WA Internet Exchange (WA-IX). IAA has also established a peering point in New Zealand (AKL-IX). The peering service provides direct, low latency and high speed connectivity between members at a fraction of the cost of using a typical upstream provider. The members of the exchange point benefit by lowering their operating costs while providing a better internet experience to their end customers. IAA highly recommends peers join PeeringDB to facilitate the exchange of information related to peering. Visit www.peeringdb.com for more information.

fx4.wix.nzix.net (202.7.1.176) looking a bit busted
by Michael Fincham 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi folks, Vocus is looking in to this however if you're peered with the WIX route servers you might want to check what prefixes you're learning with 202.7.1.176 as the next hop - we're seeing packet loss across the WIX to that peer. fx3.wix.nzix.net (.175) looks to be fine still :) -- Michael Fincham

IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry updated
by Selina Harrington 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hi, ICANN has updated the IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry according to the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA. The policy states that in each IPv4 allocation period, each RIR will receive a single IPv4 allocation unit from ICANN. An IPv4 allocation period is defined as a 6-month period following 1 March or 1 September in each year. The address space selection software can be downloaded from: https://github.com/icann/ The list of allocations can be found at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-recovered-address-space/ipv4-recovere… Kind regards, Selina Harrington IANA Senior Specialist ICANN

New survey report published: The regulatory conditions of internet interconnection
by Uta Meier-Hahn 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi, A couple of months ago, I asked you to share your experiences with regards to public regulation of internet interconnection in a survey. Many networkers from around the globe participated. Thank you! The report has now been published. I’m including the executive summary below. The full paper can be downloaded at <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2740312>. Feel free to share this link wherever you see fit. Thanks again for providing your highly valuable input. I will be happy to hear what you think about the results. Best wishes, Uta # Exploring the regulatory conditions of internet interconnection ## Executive summary Network interconnection is a central feature of the internet that has been subject to only little formal regulation. However, local public regulation is starting to emerge – be it through disclosure regulations, mandatory peering or licensing terms. Due to the networked nature of the internet, local rules may acquire a global scope. This report explores internet interconnection professionals’ encounters with public regulation and it provides an initial overview about how this regulation affects internet connectivity. On the basis of a convenience sample of 163 survey submissions, the following has been found: * Nine out of ten kinds of regulation presented to the participants have been encountered by more than half of them. This result gives reason to revisit the widespread notion that internet interconnection is an unregulated space. 66% of the participants have encountered a regulatory authority that imposes its own technical or operational standards. Moreover, imposition of regulatory standards was regarded to be the most influential on internet interconnection practices, together with competition laws (both 67%). * Local regulation of internet interconnection creates a tension between the regulated and the unregulated space in the internet. In order to overcome the normative difference, network operators need to make an extra effort. The degree to which network operators are affected by local regulation depends on a networks’ structure rather than on its size. Local regulation raises more difficulties for the kinds of infrastructural innovations that depend on having many points of presence. * For networkers, public regulation of internet interconnection is relevant in three thematic domains: 1) in the economies of internet interconnection, 2) in engineering and operations, and 3) in the modes of governance. * Overarching observations note that public regulation of internet interconnection contributes to a formalisation of the otherwise very informal sector. It also shines a spotlight on how networks are categorised and are thereby “prepared” for the application of regulation. Further, various examples highlight how regulatory authorities co-opt internet infrastructure for new policy purposes that were previously not understood as central to internet operations, e.g., data retention. * Local networkers value the presence of international network operators not only as potential peering partners but also as mediators for know-how about best practices and advanced modes of internet interconnection. * Networkers are very critical about regulations that contradict engineering principles. The most accepted forms of regulation also apply in other societal spheres: basic rights for citizens, e.g., for broadband, and competition regulation. — Uta Meier-Hahn | Doctoral Researcher Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society Französische Straße 9 | 10117 Berlin Phone +49 30 200 760-82 | http://www.hiig.de/en

nad.org.nz website content = default pages
by Pete Mundy 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Hello NOGers, Does anyone happen to know contact information we could use to get in touch with the people who run the Number Administration Deed website, nad.org.nz? Is it the TCF themselves, or a subbie? The site content has all gone missing with the various pages now reporting default-install messages along the lines of 'Welcome to SilverStripe! This is the default homepage'. Even the 'contact us' page has a similar message. Hence the request here for contact details :) Would appreciate a pointer from anyone who can point me in the right direction for a maintainer contact. Pete Mundy
