Sprint appear to provide a ipv6, it's via tunnels but they provide direct ipv4 connectivity into NZ so you don't have multiple providers. http://www.sprintv6.net/ http://www.sprintv6.net/Sprintv6.html "Sprint has IPv6 speaking routers in New York City, Washington DC, Seattle, Ft. Worth, and San Jose in the US, and routers in Brussels, Belgium, and Stockholm, Sweden, in Europe. Customers who wish to connect to Sprint's IPv6 backbone may do so, by building a tunnel from their CPE (or any device inside their network) to the nearest Sprint IPv6 router. " -- Simon J.

I have tried sending this to the proper channels and have been ignored. mail.asiaonline.net.nz's spam filter instead of rejecting emails it doesn't like defers them which mean they sit in our mail queue for a week retrying every 4 hours and clogging our and their mailservers.

Route announcements on APE and WIX
by Andy Linton 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Citylink are announcing the following networks on APE from AS23755: 202.7.4.0/24, 203.118.144.80/28 and on WIX from AS23755: 202.7.4.0/24 The 202.7.4.0/24 block will be used to host the webcam and MMS sites associated with the Lord of the Rings premiere during the period leading up to 1 December. Last year we moved around 600 Gbytes of data in the fortnight preceding the premiere and around 4 Tbytes on the day itself. To avoid a potentially higher traffic bill this year we are making arrangements to use anycast (for more details see http://www.isc.org/tn/isc-tn-2003-1.html) to make 202.7.4.0/24 available in three locations, North America, Auckland via the APE route servers and in Wellington via the WIX route servers. We will not be advertising this block via any of the ISPs who provide us with transit. If you are not peering locally in New Zealand and your users access this content they will retrieve it from servers in North America with potential overload of your international circuits. You should consider peering with the APE and/or WIX route servers and accepting these prefixes. In addition, the 203.118.144.80/28 network is used to host media content for NZOOM. While this traffic is available via IHUG, listening to this announcement will optimise your customer's experience.

Re: [nznog] Procedure for making an ISP take responsibility ?

H.323 (and friends), as used by NetMeeting, etc, are rather difficult to firewall well, because it opens connections in arbitrary directions to arbitrary ports (as negotiated through a control channel) -- a bit like FTP, but worse. The control channel is encoded via ASN.1 (ie, binary) rather than being text like FTP. IMHO it's shameful that a "modern" protocol isn't designed for at least easy state tracking if not to work easily with outgoing-only firewalls and NAT boxes. There is an (experimental) H.323 tracking module for Linux iptables which can be downloaded and compiled up (from some of the netfilter development sites), but it's a bit of a hack. I've not tried it, but have read that it works reasonably well for a single H.323 endpoint behind the firewall. Alternatively application layer proxying may be more appropriate. GNU Gatekeeper, Open H.323 Proxy, Asterisk, etc, are capable of proxying H.323 sessions at the application level. Some of them (eg, Asterisk) are pretty much voice only (Asterisk is fundamentally PBX software which supports H.323 amongst other things), and some of them (eg, GNU Gatekeeper) will proxy video as well.
