Add up all those offcuts of Cat5 plus these redundant hubs, we could start our own national ISP with VoIP ;)

Xtra de-peering in Wellington.
by Simon Blake 20 May '04

20 May '04

Just an FYI, For those that may be wondering why they're getting increased load on links in and out of APE, Xtra withdrew all routes and dropped their BGP session to WIX at about 11am this morning. This left a few parties delivering content to Xtra customers high and dry, and does little for the stability of the Interweb in NZ, which is a shame. Hopefully, the folks at TCNZ will see the light shortly, and turn it back on. Cheers Si

Port filtering by NZ ISPs?
by Neil Gardner 19 May '04

19 May '04

Hi guys - I'm trying to conduct some penetration testing on some networking equipment and I was finding that some ports were being filtered when someone else at the company was using an **** dialup account to try some things. A call to the **** helpdesk yielded exactly the results I expected so I was hoping someone here could give a more intelligent answer. I'd really like to find out what various ISPs are filtering from dialup or other pools - please email me directly if you have anything to offer. I am happy to sign and fax back NDAs if required and the info would be used for nothing but checking against our own test results or selecting ISPs for use during testing. Cheers - Neil G

Spam Legislation Workshop
by David Farrar 18 May '04

18 May '04

Hi all, You may have seen that the Government has released a discussion document on anti-spam legislation for New Zealand. As part of the consultation on any legislation, InternetNZ has arranged with the Government for an industry workshop on Thursday 24 June in Wellington for interested members of the Internet, business, legal and educational communities. The aim is to help make any legislation as effective and useful as possible. A formal invite has gone out snail mail to ISPs and others. I thought I'd mention it here also, so people can pass it on informally to anyone appropriate within their organisation etc. The draft programme for the workshop, a registration form, and a link to the Government's discussion document are all on InternetNZ's website at www.internetnz.net.nz. Cheers DPF -- David Farrar e-mail: david(a)farrar.com blog: http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz msn: dpf666(a)hotmail.com icq: 29964527

DalNet nodes in NZ?
by Simon Blake 18 May '04

18 May '04

The folks from Dalnet are pestering Citylink to provide free hosting for a server they'll provide. I couldn't find any list of nodes on dalnet, so I have no feeling for how many there may already be in NZ. So I guess my question is, are these folks legit, is it a worthwhile thing to be associated with, would anybody use it if we did set it up? I have vague recollections of IRC nodes in NZ attracting significant DOS traffic in the past - does that sort of thing still happen? Shuold I run screaming from the room? Cheers Si

possible jeopardy for F root server in Auckland tomorrow morning
by Joe Abley 16 May '04

16 May '04

I hear there will be power testing on all levels in the Sky Tower tomorrow (Tuesday) between 0630 and 0730 local time, and "short breaks" are to be expected on all levels. The F root node in Auckland lives on Level 48. The power to the F-root node is supplied through UPSes, but I do not know the list time those UPSes were called upon to supply service. Accordingly, it is at least possible that multiple components of the F-root node will reboot, in which case peers of ISC in Auckland may see transient re-routing towards some other F-root node (Brisbane, Hong Kong, Palo Alto or San Francisco, probably). If there's any persistent issue outside that window, please feel free to send mail to noc(a)isc.org as usual. If you're at the APE and not peering with us, and you'd like to, send mail to peering(a)isc.org. Joe
