Spam levels in the last 24 hours?
by neil gardner 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi guys - Has anyone else noticed a huge increase in Spam levels in the last 24 or so hours? This is only from 2-3 accounts on 2 ISPs (Orcon and Paradise), but I have gone from seeing 1-2 per day to about 30 making it past the (ISP based) filters in the last 24 hours. Interested to hear from mail admins as to whether this is just me being unlucky, or if there's something screwy happening here...

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '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. The update causing these changes had the following mail headers: - From: Andy Linton <asjl(a)citylink.co.nz> - Cc: - Subject: - Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2005 18:56:43 +1300 (NZDT) - Msg-Id: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0503021854360.30667(a)jennings.citylink.co.nz> NZRR Database Notification Department --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS42 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Packet Clearing House - AS42 members: 192.36.148.0/24^24-29, 194.146.106.0/24^24-29, 194.146.107.0/24^24-29, 194.146.108.0/24^24-29, 199.7.77.0/24^24-29, 199.7.64.0/24^24-29, 204.61.210.0/24^24-29, 204.61.210.0/23^23-29, 204.61.212.0/23^23-29, 204.61.216.0/23^23-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: scg(a)pch.net mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050302 source: NZRR --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS3856 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Packet Clearing House - AS3856 members: 192.36.148.0/24^24-29, 194.146.106.0/24^24-29, 194.146.107.0/24^24-29, 194.146.108.0/24^24-29, 199.7.77.0/24^24-29, 199.7.64.0/24^24-29, 204.61.210.0/24^24-29, 204.61.210.0/23^23-29, 204.61.212.0/23^23-29, 204.61.216.0/23^23-29, 206.220.228.0/22^22-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: scg(a)pch.net mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050302 source: NZRR

Peering exchange in the Wairarapa?
by Blair Harrison 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi Guys, I'm just wondering if there is any interest at all in having a peering exchange of some kind in the Wairarapa. I know I've been thinking about such a beast for a while, but at the moment there's only a couple of ISP-like entities (that I know of) who might possibly be interested. WISE Net would be happy to house such a beast if it could be shown that there was sufficient interest, although I'm not sure we're exactly what you might call neutral territory :) So really what I'm asking is, is there anyone else out there? Do you want to peer with us? With others? Have you got a network you want to connect to others with in the Wairarapa at a central place? Raise your hands now, or forever shall your cat5 be under-utilised :) Cheers, Blair Harrison Systems Administrator WISE Net | http://wise.net.nz

I-Root Server avaiable at the WIX
by Andy Linton 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

There is now an instance of an anycast I-Root name server attached to the WIX. Those peering with the WIX route servers should be seeing an announcment for 192.36.148.0/24. From Wellington I'm seeing RTTs like this: $ ping 192.36.148.17 PING 192.36.148.17 (192.36.148.17) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=3.90 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=1.12 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=1.73 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=4 ttl=252 time=2.07 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=5 ttl=252 time=1.18 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=6 ttl=252 time=1.62 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=7 ttl=252 time=1.80 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=8 ttl=252 time=1.92 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=9 ttl=252 time=1.43 ms --- 192.36.148.17 ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 9 received, 0% packet loss, time 8080ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.125/1.867/3.905/0.782 ms and from a host in Auckland which doesn't see the announcement I see: $ ping 192.36.148.17 PING 192.36.148.17 (192.36.148.17): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=257.7 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=255.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=255.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=256.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=256.2 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=5 ttl=55 time=257.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=6 ttl=55 time=259.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=7 ttl=55 time=256.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.36.148.17: icmp_seq=8 ttl=55 time=257.2 ms --- 192.36.148.17 ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 9 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 255.9/257.0/259.5 ms Thanks to InternetNZ who funded this and to Packet Clearing House and Autonomica for making it happen.

RE: [nznog] I-Root Server avaiable at the WIX

I sort of came along late in the 'news' game when the Major Telco's decided to de-peer.. To that effect, Does anyone out there have a solid explanation from them as to why they chose to do what they Did ? Joe, You used to work @ Clear.. Surely you have inside knowledge :) Sorry if this is old news, if theres a link, post it please. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Davidson [mailto:keith(a)wise.net.nz] Sent: Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:19 To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] I-Root Server avaiable at the WIX Hmmm, so the aberrant nature of peering in NZ rears its ugly head... Seems strange that the telcos would prefer to route offshore at a financial and a performance cost, rather than peer in NZ and give their users faster speeds and cost reductions... Keith Davidson

>But it still says on Paradises website: > >Citylink Traffic is calculated in the same way as JetStart Traffic, with the >exception of traffic delivered through the Wellington Internet Exchange >(WIX), which is completely free! And there's nothing inaccurate about that is there? They just don't send any more traffic over WIX - but if they did - it would be free. :-) Anyway, good to see they aren't letting elegant solutions get in the way of MORE MONEY!!! Cheers - N.

IPV6, Cisco
by Philip D'Ath 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

After much torment this weekend I have managed to get IPv6 running nicely on a low end Cisco DSL router (Cisco 837). If anyone wants an IPv6 connection at home (and a /48 block of real world IPv6 address space) to experiment with, say yourself some grief and start with this. http://www.ifm.net.nz/cookbooks/ipv6configwizard.html Now if we can just get a critical mass of users we might be able to tempt an ISP to offer native connections ... and actually use Joe's IPv6 F root server.

RE: [nznog] IPv6, NAT-PT
by Philip D'Ath 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

I'm talking about using NAT-PT to allow a native ipv6 network to talk to an ipv4 network. Without some kind of protocol translation (aka PT) ipv6 can't talk to ipv4. The reason this has to be done is because you can't buy an ipv6 connection to an ISP in NZ yet. -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Kerr [mailto:cameron(a)humbledown.org] Sent: Saturday, 26 February 2005 2:27 p.m. To: Philip D'Ath Cc: nznog Subject: Re: [nznog] IPv6, NAT-PT On 26/02/2005, at 1:25 PM, Philip D'Ath wrote: > I'm trying to get NAT-PT support working on a Cisco DSL router to > support native ipv6 clients behind it.

There is very little reason pros for using IPv6 with NAT, and many cons. Afterall, NAT is just a hack for IPv4 to prevent address exhaustion. IIRC, ISPs are not to give out single IP addresses, but rather /64 allocations. Anyone care to correct me on this? -- Cameron Kerr Telecommunications Teaching Fellow & SysAdmin ckerr(a)cs.otago.ac.nz
