Webcasting Update - UK Lions Rugby
by Richard Naylor 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Wearing my R2.co.nz hat..... Several of the Radio stations that R2 carries, are doing live commentaries of the Rugby games involving the UK Lions. We are experiencing viewer/listener numbers roughly 3 times our usual "high-water" mark and are aware that the stations (and presumably ISPs) are getting some complaints about the streams buffering or not being accessible. The mid week games seem to produce the highest load, probably because TV3 isn't carrying delayed broadcasts of these matches, so radio is the only "free to air " option, other than Sky which isn't free of course.. International fans have no choice at all and the streams are their only source of live comentary As our servers are still somewhat under loaded (the streams are only 16kbps each) and many complaints are from overseas, we are making some changes over the next week in anticipation of the Test matches and likely audience numbers. We have for some months now been spreading load between WIX and APE connected servers. Today we have started altering our routing and will be directing all connection requests that are not from APE or WIX peers, to servers in the USA. Some traffic will still be available via our existing international bandwidth, but this seems to be the major congestion point. The USA servers are cheaper than increasing our bandwidth and also allows us to serve overseas clients more efficiently. We are talking in the 10,000s of clients - these are not small events. I'm sorry if Operators Help Desks have already been receiving calls of complaint. Peered Operators won't have noticed any effect. Non-peered Operators probably have. The introduction of the US servers, should reduce these calls, although you may see an increase in international traffic. It should be minor as each stream is quite small, but please take this as a warning - we are seeing high client numbers - much much higher than the LOTR Premiere (numerically we do a higher figure daily now). Peering at APE or WIX will of course reduce this international bandwidth. If Operators need help peering at APE or WIX, Andy at CityLink is happy to assist. Be aware the tests are getting closer...... If time allows we will commission a server at PNIX next week. Operators close to Palmerston North should consider peering there to save national bandwidth. These changes are pretty well permanent, although may be adjusted slightly or optimized. Later in the month there will be some more content released, which is expected to raise traffic levels even higher. These streams will not be small. Thanks for your time. Rich

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: aut-num: AS24324 as-name: NZRR-AS24324 descr: BCL descr: APE peering at '192.203.154.20' descr: see Citylink RT job #2568 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR import: from AS9560 accept ANY AND NOT fltr-bogons export: to AS9560 announce AS24324 notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: sainesh.singh(a)bclnz.com mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050610 source: NZRR --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS24324 descr: Route set advertised to AS9560 by BCL - AS24324 members: 202.49.128.0/24^24-29, 202.49.135.0/24^24-29, 202.49.133.0/29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: sainesh.singh(a)bclnz.com mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050610 source: NZRR

random versus deterministic netflow sampling
by Rich Groves 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello All: I wanted to ask what version of Netflow sampling the bulk of NZ networks employ today. If Netflow is not used is it due to its overhead on equipment and or its complexity to administer? Thanks Rich Groves WAND Research Group

TelstraClear 'transit' service
by Lincoln Reid 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi, Many thanks for all the replies to my request for Microwave operators in Lower Hutt. Unfortunately the operator of the network we were having issues with remains a complete mystery, so we have changed polarity to resolve our issue. Secondly has anyone here requested TelstraClear's paid domestic peering product ( er transit, whatever ) delivered across Citylink in Wellington? I would be interested in hearing of your experience. It seems that due to a complete lack of rate limiting on their Citylink facing interface they are unwilling to deliver the capacity we have requested. If we were willing to buy 1000mbit of capacity ( or whatever their Citylink port runs at ) we could avoid this little problem for them =) Regards, -- Lincoln Reid Systems Engineer LinuxNet - AS18119 lincoln(a)linuxnet.co.nz Phone: +64 4 939 2200 Fax: +64 4 939 2201

Fw: [nznog] Computerworld Gupta story pulled?
by Paul_Brislen＠computerworld.co.nz 30 May '05

30 May '05

Hi All, Before conspiracy theorists start chiming in ... We've pulled the story because it was about matters before the youth court. The story was originally posted accidentally, which is why it's now been removed (at our decision, I should add). Computerworld, obviously, is more interested in technical and regulatory matters rather than the legal process now unfolding. I suspect this is also well off topic for NOG anyway. I do, however, feel the need for a beer Cheers, Paul

Computerworld Gupta story pulled?
by Simon Lyall 30 May '05

Did anyone get a copy of this before it was deleted? Searching for "sahil gupta charges" on google news brings the following: State throws the book at 027 hacker Computerworld New Zealand, New Zealand - 11 hours ago The National Enforcement Unit (NEU) of the Ministry of Economic Development has laid a further thirteen new charges against the teenager accused of breaking into Telecom's 027 voice mail system The teenager was arrested by the police with 19-year-old former ISP operator Sahil Gupta of Hamilton two weeks ago in conjunction with 027 hacking ... Computerworld understands the new charges are unrelated to the 027 affair, and are and are the result of prior activities by the teenager -- Simon J.
