Stuff.co.nz Routing & Peering @ Wix?
by Craig Spiers 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Anyone noticed the ip block maintained by stuff.co.nz is not actually being advertised to the wix route servers? The route I'm receiving, is from Telstra Clear, and is a /24. BGP routing table entry for 202.135.111.0/24, version 235662 Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) Not advertised to any peer 4768 2687 203.167.219.181 from 203.167.219.181 (203.97.2.199) Origin incomplete, localpref 100, valid, external, best Are they another 'listen only' peer? Cheers, Craig - ConceptNET

Notes from NZNOG 05 history of peering session
by Ian McDonald 14 Feb '05

Notes from NZNOG 05 history of peering session Folks these are my notes taken down as clarifications/expansions to Joe's notes. Please feel free to tell me where I've got it wrong as I was writing quite quickly…. Talking to Joe there was a suggestion from someone that we put together a Wiki to collect this altogether as a NZ Internet History. Sounds good to me and we could add whole sections on 0867, IPNet and start writing active history on UBS etc. Joe mentioned David Dixon (KCBBS) had done a history page of Internet in NZ which may be a good starting point along with his presentation, these notes and everybody's thoughts... Does anybody have a spare place for a Wiki etc? In the short term do the WLUG members mind if I start a page on there as a temporary home? 1989 KCBBS started Internet link doubled at Waikato from 2.4 to 4.8 Kb/sec Original connection into Waikato was CSNET (sp ??) Connected to DSIR through DSIR routers – 4.8 K links on PC after failing to get working on X25 – Massey was also piggy backed off this as well 1989-1996 Nearly every routing protocol was used except BGP Clear was back through to MCI In effect peering at universities through Tuianet – This was pulled after DOS attack around 1995 at Cybernet conference against ICONZ. Paid for charging for capacity at this time – world leading at the time FreeNet in Wellington 1997/1998 – Home Fibre project canned by Telecom – When did it start? 1998 ADSL launch announced – this was aimed primarily at video July 1998 202.7.0.0/23 – came out of Dunedin City Council. Attempts to give parts of this out to customers through ISPs Citylink – unique as MAN and exchange building out to ISPs 1998 When National Library peered it was on a 386 notebook with two Ethernet cards running Linux 1999 Joe had idea of using Sky tower for peering after riding on a bus and seeing it looming above him ICONZ, Iprolink, KCBBS hosted an abortive exchange through ISDN. Centrex suggested by Max Gustin for this as well. Level 48 at Sky Tower was logical because Clear had fibre and could host internal aerials there also due to type of glass. Correction to a slide – Roger found switch not Richard 1999 192.203.154.0/24 – original owner was Children's Discovery Centre (not sure of this location as didn't hear clearly) Order of acquisitions: Saturn eats Paradise Telstra eats Netlink Telstra eats Saturn i4free was using Clear Network 1994 or 1996 One of International cables broken. Pacrim East built before Pacrim West. Shortly after Pacrim East failed. A couple of people suggested that this was due to a ship pulling anchor just after fixing something else. Between 1995/1996 and 2001. Waikato no longer main connectivity. Rex Croft not looking after .nz. Telecom/Netway got it because nobody else wanted it. Chello ran flat rate cable in Wellington until getting killed in 2001 by Napster. Had a GRE tunnel to Midwest America 2003 MCI were selling Voyager transport. Satellite connection to OzEmail – GRE tunnel also through terrestrial. Subsequent DS3 to Sydney – Late 2003/early 2003 Before Southern Cross Clear and Telecom were sending large packets via satellite and small via cable to help get more traffic through It was May 2004 not Nov 2004 Telstra announce intention to de-peer from APE Early 2004 Telecom withdrew route servers from Exchange Mid 2003 Xtra becomes more residential only. Global Gateway/CID for businesses. Was it at this time Xtra was folded back into Telecom company or earlier?

ps. Works great XP with ActiveState perl. -----Original Message----- ... In the spirit of helpfulness I have thrown together a small program to help you in your endevor. ... Hope you find it helpful. (Note, you will need perl installed in /usr/bin/perl, and it will need to be run on some *ix box, also, dont make $x anything other than 0 or weird things may happen, oh, and you can alter $number to be the number of values you require for your database thingy wotsit.)

RE: [nznog] IP address allocations and geographic areas

Unfortunately there are some in the U.S. that do block all APNIC space, mainly due to the amount of spam originating from China and Korea. Personally, I think putting Florida into its own address range and null routing it would have a far greater impact on the global spam levels :-) I'd suggest emailing them from an address that isn't blocked and point out the error of their ways Cheers, Gordon

Oddly the traffic is low, 20% of normal instead of the 60% the WIX-AT&T split we found before would indicate. I guess there's a bit of asymetric routing out there :| -- David Zanetti <david.zanetti(a)catalyst.net.nz> Team Leader, Systems Administration Catalyst IT Limited +64-4-8032233 +64-21-402260 NOTICE: This message contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.

More Key Signing Stuff
by Joe Abley 09 Feb '05

Begin anonymous forwarded message: > I'm going to really prove my ignorance when it comes to all things > pgp. Now that we've done the verification as to who's who, and > everyone owns their own key, what does one do, so sign someone elses > key, or get their key signed by someone else ( should they want to ). I kind of forgot to talk about what we do after we were finished with all the hexadecimal and drivers licences. So here we go: 1. Download the public key ring from buglumber and import it. 2. For each person whose identified you are satisfied with, check the fingerprint on the downloaded keyring against the sheet of verified fingerprints. 3. If you feel like it, sign the key with yours. This is a convenient way to record the fact that you have verified the accuracy of the key. 4. If you feel like it, send the signed public key back to the person who gave it to you. This provides an additional path through the web of trust for people to trust your key, and is generally a handy thing to have. 5. If you feel like it, upload the key with your signature to one or more key servers. This is good for the same reasons that 4 is good. Lather, rinse, repeat for all keys.
