Or possibly just place "beacon" devices - whether servers or SAA-capable routers - at the exchange points so people can run their own tests to a point attached to the exchange but outside their own networks?

by Simon Lyall 06 Dec '03

If people are going to APRICOT 2004 they might be interesting in the below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2003 11:04:40 -0800 From: William B. Norton <wbn(a)equinix.com> To: apops(a)apops.net Subject: [apops] APRICOT 2004 : Speakers for Peering and Internet Exchange Track Hi all - You may have heard that there will be a new one-day track on Peering and Internet Exchanges at the upcoming APRICOT in Kuala Lumpur. I'd like to describe the track in brief and solicit a few more Peering Coordinators / Network Architects / Network Engineers as speakers for the track. (See http://www.apricot2004.net/ for information on the broader APRICOT 2004 conference). This Peering and Internet Exchange Track is intended to facilitate regional ISP Peering by providing a forum for Peering Coordinators to meet each other and share information about Asia Pacific peering. We will facilitate this with several panels, each one focused on peering in a particular country. If you are a Peering Coordinator with experience peering in the AP Region, please send me an e-mail answering the questions below. I will use this information to match panelists together into panels focused on certain AP countries. Thanks! Bill --------------------------- Speaker Questionnaire ------------------------------------ If you are able and willing to speak at the Feb 2004 APRICOT Peering and Internet Exchange Track, please fill out the following form and e-mail to William B. Norton at wbn(a)umich.edu: Name: __________________ Title: ___________________ Company: _______________ AS # _________________ In what country do you live? _________________ Email Address: __________________ We will select a set of panelists based on the answers to the questions below: 1) In what countries do you peer? 2) In which AP Country do you have peering experiences that you can share with the audience? 3) Answer as many of the questions below as applicable, as you would present as part of your presentation a) We are looking for speakers that have found interesting or unique country peering ecosystem characteristics. Have you uncovered any unexpected or interesting/unique peering ecosystem characteristics in any of the countries where you peer? Please give a few examples. b) We are also looking for unusual or unexpected traffic patterns. For example, a large amount of Japan traffic is ultimately destined to and from Brazil! Identifying and explaining this type of inter-country traffic would be a good set of data to launch a presentation. Do you have any of this type of data that you can share? c) What are the problems and challenges that you face as you build peering infrastructure into various AP countries? d) If other Peering Coordinators follow your footsteps into regions in which you now peer, what would you tell them: · is information that you would have liked to have had? · Are unexpected problems that you faced? e) What are the emerging trends that you see in the peering ecosystems in which you operate (transit and transport prices going up or down and the implications as you see them). /* William B.

Network security heads-up
by Matthew Poole 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

Morning all. I have received information which indicates that one of the more notorious members of NZ's black-hat community has been "fiddling" with things he shouldn't. www.deadsnake.net is one example. In light of this, it may be advisable to check the security of your network-facing systems. Regards

Hi Guys, Just been a couple of consecutive power outages here in Dunedin one after the other, anyone with equipment down here might wanna check their battery/diesel levels, may have been a bit hard on some automatic cut-in breakers as the power went down quite soon after it came up from the first outage. First major outage in some time, great test for our UPS and Generator. Kind Regards, Dan Clark Network Manager DunedinWireless Scarfies.Net Ltd Wickliffe Limited

LOTR Webcam and netgate
by Richard J. Fairhall 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

It looks like netgate didnt peer with citylink for the Lord of the Rings webcams which means that anybody on Fast IP Direct Jetstream cannot access them. This is just another example of the pathetic attitude some companies have to both their users and peering nowdays. Regards, Richard.
