Thanks all, i posted to the list to see if i could get hold of someone with some real idea on a solution to my problem, (and preferably not a first level helpdesk person if at all possible), trying to get from them to someone who knows something sometimes feels like a lot of effort, but it appears my plan has worked. i expected a wait for a reply, but it arrived a lot quicker than expected. thankyou nznoggers... resume surfing / irc / whatever geeks do at this time of night (except for the shift working noc staff, get back to work)

Cidr report
by Andy Linton 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Can I recommend the following web site to the list? http://www.cidr-report.org Lots of interesting stats about route announcements on the core of the net in particular those which are less than optimal. I'd suggest that all of us here who announce prefixes by BGP should at least go the the section at the very bottom of the page and generate the report for the AS numbers we're responsible for and take some action on the output if necessary. For example, Citylink's office network uses AS23754 and the report shows the following: (http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=as23754 will give a better formatted view) --- Announced Prefixes Rank AS Type Originate Addr Space (pfx) Transit Addr space (pfx) Description 8920 AS23754 ORIGIN Originate: 2560 /20.68 Transit: 0 /0.00 CITYLINK-AS-NZ Citylink Aggregation Suggestions This report does not take into account conditions local to each origin AS in terms of policy or traffic engineering requirements, so this is an approximate guideline as to aggregation possibilities. Rank AS AS Name Current Wthdw Aggte Annce Redctn % 12949 AS23754 CITYLINK-AS-NZ Citylink 4 0 0 4 0 0.00% AS23754: CITYLINK-AS-NZ Citylink Prefix (AS Path) Aggregation Action 198.48.0.0/22 1221 2764 3643 7657 23754 202.8.44.0/22 1221 2764 3643 7657 23754 202.37.19.0/24 1221 2764 3643 7657 23754 203.118.144.0/24 1221 2764 3643 7657 23754 Advertisements that are fragments of the original RIR allocation (more specifics) originated by this AS. AS23754 1 More Specifics 4 Total Advertisements CITYLINK-AS-NZ Citylink 203.118.144.0/24 (203.118.128.0/18) --- So it looks like I need to check with IHUG, our upstream, and see why they're announcing our particular subnet of 203.118.128.0/18 as well as the superblock. I've just come back from APRICOT where I saw a presentation that indicated that if we all were to get this sort of thing sorted out we'd reduce the size of the global routing table by 30% Let's get the NZ annoucements sorted at least!

Organising the Next NZNOG Conference
by Donald Neal 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

People, As discussed at the conference last month, a committee is now being called into existence to ensure that the next NZNOG conference happens. I asked that those who'd volunteered to be part of that group email me. I've so far received emails from: Neil Fenemor Nathan Ward I'm confident I have working email addresses for Joe Abley Jamie Curtis Simon Lyall Tony McGregor Lin Nah Could the other volunteers please also email me fairly soon and tell me what addresses you'd like to use for this purpose? I'm asking this because I don't hold email addresses for all of you. Donald Neal | "Fiasco - an unsuccessful Technical Specialist | wall painting."
