Can I remind you that when you want us to make changes to the filters which
control what you can announce on the exchanges you need to complete the forms at:
APE http://ape.nzix.net/cgi-bin/ChangeRoutes.cgi
WIX http://wix.nzix.net/cgi-bin/ChangeRoutes.cgi
Please note that if you want changes at both exchanges you need to ask
explicitly by completing *both* forms. We won't attempt to use telepathy as
part of this process.

Hey Guys,
Just wondering how many providers other than citylink adapt anycast into
their network. I decided to write something here to explain to others what
it is and how I've implemented it.
To start, I run www.fast.co.nz which provides _free_ downloads of open
source ISOs and websites.
Since certain ISPs decided to depeer the ISP that was hosting my server
couldn't fit the bill
for this free content, even though it was saving the providers international
bandwidth,
thus I incorporated anycast. I have a server in Wellington connected to WIX
and another on APE.
Both servers advertise the IP range 202.7.6.32/29, ovcourse the Auckland
server to APE and the
Wellington server to WIX, Citylink then advertise the same range at a
datacenter in the USA.
If a users provider is connected to one of the above exchanges, they are
connected to the
Server closest to them, if they don't peer at either exchange they are sent
to the USA server
Where in my case they are forwarded to http://peer.fast.co.nz .
In a commercial environment such as Trademe this could be implemented to
save money. Trademe
Could run it's servers in Wellington the same way they are now, and server
the content to anyone
That peers at the WIX, they can then advertise the same ip range in the USA
and mirror the
servers or maybe just an image server for the .jpg, .gif, .png images etc.
How does this save money having servers in the USA, well to rent colo space
and a p4 2.8gig
Server in the USA costs me as little as $80 p/m for 1tb, that's right
1024Gigs worth of data
And the connection is very stable. For commercial companies such as Trademe
they may require a
Little more bandwidth than a TB and support 24/7 etc, so they may pay tops
$400 p/m, this would
Be a LOT cheaper than buying additional circuits from providers in NZ.
How this would effect providers that have depeered? Well lets take stuff for
example, we know
They push close to 25Mb/s at times, lets add Trademe and say they push
50Mb/s , well this would
Mean that the providers that don't peer will be spending a couple hundred
thousand $ to provide
The content to their users, it would be cheaper for them to just peer.
The above is just an explanation of anycast and how it could be used to
serve your websites or
A way to better manage your network. Any views written to the NZNog are
always the view of my own
And not those of my peers or employers.

Dear colleagues,
In March 2005, the APNIC Secretariat will implement the policy, "Recovery of
unused address space". The policy is described in section 5 of "Policies for
historical Internet resources in the APNIC Whois Database" at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/historical-resource-policies.html#5
This policy implements the consensus decision reached at APNIC 17 and endorsed
by the Executive Council on 14 May in relation to proposal prop-017-v001.
Details of the original proposal and links to discussions
are available at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-017-v001.html
For more information about this policy, please see the "Guide to the recovery
of unused address space" at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/historical-recovery-guide.html
If you have questions about this policy, please contact the APNIC helpdesk at:
Email: helpdesk(a)apnic.net

Their peering session has been up now for about three hours. If you're an APE
route server peer and you route to them via more expensive 'Domestic Transit
Services' you may want to architect a different solution. They're announcing
130.216.0.0/16.
If you are connected to the APE switch fabric and you're not peering with the
route servers we'd be happy to help.
Hey there,
I've had a few reports from ihug customers trying to get to the following IP
ranges that fall off APE:
202.7.6.32/29 - WIX Only
202.7.5.32/29 - APE Only
202.7.6.32/29 - ANYCAST (advertised at both exchanges)
These ranges are provided by citylink for an APE only and anycast range, if
your accepting routes
from the route-servers, please check your filters and allow traffic for the
above 3 ranges.
These IP's pass traffic for the www.fast.co.nz project with opensource
mirrors and downloads,
if you want your users to be able to receive these downloads in the cheapest
and quickest possible way,
then fix it :)
Thanks
Barry
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.
The update causing these changes had the following mail headers:

In the next little while we'll probably do a survey on nznog05 and
what people want from nznog06.
1. If anybody has any topics, talsk or areas they would like to suggest
for nznog06 can they please email me. I can add these to the survey to
gague the level of interest for them.
2. One way we might do the survey is via a webpage like:
http://www.nanogpc.org/survey/public/survey.php?name=npc_0205
If somebody is setup to host, create one of these ( with at least a
human-readable result output) can they email me please. If not we'll do
it via email or perhaps a site like www.surveygalaxy.com .
