Does Spark host any actual IPv6-connected resources behind AS4648?
by Mark Foster 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Hiya folks, An honest question... Having been told by a commercial solutions type person at Spark that IPv6 peering is only available for International Transit services - not Domestic - i'm left wondering how much IPv6 actually exists within AS4648? I am not aware of any specific examples of IPv6 connections (either 'content' or 'eyes') in the AS to use as a starting point, but it's quite disappointing to consider that any traffic between my AS and Spark's is being forced to use international transit. (The wording of the correspondence I received on the subject used the word 'currently' suggesting a possible future change on this position, but it also said 'no date for when this will be available' which suggests no great hurry either). Obviously the disappointment would be metered a little if I knew for sure there was essentially no chance of requiring such a peering link, for example if there's no other IPv6 within-or-behind AS4648 that I can't get to via other means. I assume that other NOG'rs who have 'domestic transit' or 'paid peering' with Spark have got similar ipv6 peering problems - I find it incredible that this many years beyond IPv6's initial 'push' [1], that backbone environments - those that don't necessarily have heavy ties to software or systems that may still have compatibility issues[2] - cannot be rigged for IPv6 in relatively short order. Interested in the experiences of others, on-or-offlist as preferred, in terms of Spark and IPv6, or if there's any insight as to Spark's intentions to deploy IPv6 and support it for their wholesale domestic links. Cheers Mark. [1] The oldest post on the NZ IPv6 Task Force website is dated August 2009. We've certainly had a complete technology-refresh-cycle since then, surely?! [2] Notwithstanding [1] I know there are still limitations to IPv6 offerings to customers within my organisation[3], but we are at least committed to working through these and for a large subset of product types, dual-stack is fully available. As such we are seeking to establish IPv6 peering arrangements, initially with all those that we peer with over IPv4 but obviously as openly as possible for the benefit of all parties. [3] When I say 'We' i'm talking about ICONZ, AS4770. If you peer with ICONZ (directly or via a peering exchange[4]) and would like to peer over IPv6, please do drop a note to noc(a)iconz.net and we'll happily set it up. We're already peered with the APE and WIX RR's and with a few domestic peers in addition to our transit provider(s). I should also note that i'm leaving ICONZ in the next week or so, so personal enquiries about ICONZ's position may have finite value. :-) [4] ICONZ is presently on APE and WIX and is hoping to establish a link to AKL-IX in the new year. If they share physical footprint or switch domain they're also happy to bilat or direct-ethernet if it makes sense to do so. Cheers Mark.

GPON/VDSL/ADSL vendor advice
by Mark Tees 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hi all, Looking for some advice/recommendations. We’re looking to select a GPON/VDSL/ADSL vendor for a number of new greenfield and brownfield deployments and have been considering the big 3 - ALU, Huawei and Calix. In PON land we would be delivering an “RSP” style service where each port, or a VLAN on a port can be sold to a different RSP to deliver services on. We are also delivering RF and POTS services via these units. So far we’ve found most them to be largely feature comparable and stable in terms of implementation and support. Each vendor has been keen to engage with us and work to make us as comfortable as possible with their product set. The only major differentiator on a hardware level is we’ve noted that the newer ALU chassis do not support xDSL cards, and so we would be stuck on the previous generation of chassis if we wanted to retain xDSL support, where Huawei and Calix don’t have this limitation. We do like Calix’s general view towards software programability and what they are talking about in terms of the future of SDN based networking. That said, there seems to be a number of pro’s/con’s with respect to each vendor in their own ways. Does any one have any strong opinions or recommendations why one vendor is better than another? Equally, does anyone have any brilliant success stories with any of the vendors or horror stay-away stories that we should know? -- Regards, Mark L. Tees

Whole of Domain (.nz) Web Harvest 2016
by Jay Gattuso 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hi All, It’s that time of year again. The National Library of New Zealand is in the final planning stages for the 2016 Whole of Domain web harvest. Per previous years we’ll be walking through the .nz domain pulling back a ~20Tbs snapshot of the live web. The work will be contacted out to the Internet Archive, and I’ll contact this list with the final details once we’ve finished the various planning parts. At the moment it looks like we’ll undertake the crawl around the middle of Jan, and from past experience it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to complete. We expect to try and grab embedded large binaries (video, audio etc), but otherwise we will generally be respectful of robots.txt. We will have crawl agent string that I will inform you of, so if you have any concerns with our crawling activity we can be blocked. :( I wanted to give you early sight of the crawl, and invite any questions or thoughts from the mailing list. We would also like to acknowledge the assistance and support of dnc.org.nz and nzrs.net.nz – without their efforts we would not be able to make heritage snapshots of the live web for research use today and into the future.

Short (!) survey about internet interconnection
by Uta Meier-Hahn 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Dear networkers from around the world, Internet interconnection is largely unregulated. However, in some countries, public regulation has emerged – be it through transparency rules, mandatory peering or licensing terms. Currently, we lack an overview about where regulation exists and we know little about how it affects internet connectivity on a global scale. To start filling this information gap, I have set up a short survey for network engineers, peering coordinators and network-savvy legal staffers. The goal is to crowdsource an initial overview about formal regulation of internet interconnection around the world. Please participate! It takes no more than 10 minutes and will serve the community: http://limesurvey.hiig.de/index.php/675663?lang=en <http://limesurvey.hiig.de/index.php/675663?lang=en> I will publish the results under a Creative Commons license. Also, please consider helping by forwarding the link to fellow interconnection professionals - think of your Facebook, VKontakte or LinkedIn groups, of chat channels and mailing lists. The more regional diversity, the better. Thank you! Thank you!

KFC shows that once again New Zealand needs a CSIRT. Well here's a start.
by Dean Pemberton 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hi All, The recent KFC incident has highlighted a lack of awareness of where to effectively report online security issues. A point made worse by New Zealand not having a CSIRT. At the NZITF we're working to create New Zealand’s first public facing Computer Security Incident Response Team (or CSIRT). Essentially, we have decided it's time to stop talking about creating a CSIRT and instead partner with like-minded companies to fund and incubate a small, agile team to prove the value that a public-facing CSIRT can bring to New Zealand. We have produced a short 1-pager about why the NZITF are setting up CSIRTnz and what we hope to achieve. http://nzitf.org.nz/pdf/NZITF-CSIRT-ValProp.pdf Feel free to get in touch (info(a)nzitf.org.nz) if you, or your organisation wants to know more about the initiative. In the mean time, while we get this all setup, any incidents sent to info(a)nzitf.org.nz will receive attention, and we'll look to provide co-ordination, albeit on a best efforts basis. Regards, Dean
