Hello NZNOG, I was reading this: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11495508 <http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11495508> just now, which says the Windows 10 upgrade is overwhelming capacity on the UFB (which bit of it?). It’s a single source however, and I was wondering if there are other data points for the traffic increase to look at? Not sure if this is operational as such, so please email me off-list if so.

Traffic on Akl-IX
by Jesse Archer 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hey all, A quick heads up about our experience on Akl-IX (community IX based in Auckland, presence in 220 Queen and Vocus Albany). This past week we've seen our traffic coming in via the IX double, in part thanks to Microsoft peering and the Windows 10 updates that are hammering everyone's networks right now :) Also recent growth in peers - I see Compass are on-boarding and a couple of other operators I've spoken with are peering shortly. There are some large content providers on the IX, either directly connected or via "host member ISPs" - so if you've been considering peering and access to content might be a driver for on-boarding and you would like some more info, please speak to Joe Wooller of WAIA on peering(a)akl-ix.nz or you can drop me an email. If you're from: Voyager ICONZ Trade Me Sitehost HD Mediaworks ...I'd love to see you on the IX as we do a bit of traffic each day and the current inbound and outbound paths are not as optimal as they could be. *Jesse Archer* *General Manager*Full Flavour *p. *07 577 0099 *ddi*. 07 281 1391 *s*.

Some name server changes, SkyTV and Paymark
by paul tinson 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hi There, I wanted to notify the list that anyone operating recursive resolvers would be wise to flush the following zones from the cache: *.skytv.co.nz *.paymarkclick.co.nz Lastnight the name servers for these where switched to ns1, ns2 and ns3.spark.co.nz. The TTL on the NS record was 24hrs at the time of change so these could still be in cache as the old record. Regards Paul

Chorus CCIL availability

Hi NOGers, The Chorus Co-Innovation Lab (CCIL) is being upgraded to a new software release in preparation for a UFB production upgrade later this year. The Wellington and Auckland nodes will bounce several times today and tomorrow, as we exercise the upgrade and rollback procedures.

Chorus EUBA + IPV6
by Simon Allard 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

Since it seems to be ipv6 month here at NZNog I thought I would bring this up. Some of you have commented that Orcon is in trial mode for IPv6 and are probably wondering why we haven’t progressed. We have had IPV6 enabled for a while and have a good number of ipv6 customers online now. However we found an issue on the Chorus network which stopped us rolling it out further. (UFB ipv6 was another battle which requires beer!) What we found was some Chrous DSLAMS with certain card types would drop IPV6CP packets in one direction when doing the PPPoE->PPPoA conversation. It would seem that these cards don’t support Ipv6. Weirdly enough it would seem it is the newer card types used for Broadband IP. (citation needed). This in itself isn’t a major but we also found our NFV4 modem would reset its entire PPPoE stack if the IPV6CP conversation started but didn’t complete as expected, so customers would constantly be disconnected and cycle around. (The Genius modem works well with ipv6) The NFV4 issue aside (we are resolving with the Vendor). We approached the Chorus tech team and they helped identify the issue but that’s is where its hit a brick wall. The Chorus op team are not keen on fixing the issue nationwide as it involves new code versions, a massive amount of testing and a long rollout program. (I can understand where they are coming from). To summarise: IPV6 doesn’t work on Chorus EUBA on some line card types Only affect PPPoE->PPPoA translation PPPoE end to end is fine. Chorus say IPV6 not supported on EUBA Customer numbers effected are smallish. We will fix the NFV4 issue, but keen to rollout more IPV6 to all customers, not just the lucky ones on card types which work. Has any other ISP’s (the bigger ones especially) noticed this? As it will require some pressure to get some progress.

ARP _request_ with Target Protocol Address = 255.255.255.255
by Ewen McNeill 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

On the off chance that someone else has seen this before and knows what causes it, does anyone know of any software that generates ARP _Requests_ with the Target Protocol Address (TPA) of 255.255.255.255 (all ones). Such that results in this sort of log message from picky switches: <188> Jul 29 10:47:13 [SWITCH] ARP[ipMapForwarding]: ipmap_arp_api.c(1147) 1021154 %% Received ARP Request on interface Vl1 with bad target IP address 255.255.255.255. Sender IP is [REALIP], sender MAC is [REALMAC]. As far as I can tell they happen _approximately_ every 5 minutes, but definitely not to the second. I'm told the Sender IP is a relatively old Windows host, but the Windows admins don't know of anything installed which would do that. Searching the Internet doesn't turn up much. I did find UNARP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1868), but that's supposed to be an unsolicited ARP _Reply_, and this is a Request; and besides this isn't the scenario UNARP was invented for anyway. The only other speculation I can find is maybe it's a gratuitous ARP that doesn't follow RFC5227 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5227; which says that Target Protocol Address should be set to the address you want to claim), but that also seems implausible (especially since the DHCP leases at this site are longer than 5/10 minutes). Any thoughts as to what might be generating it welcomed. Ewen PS: This is not the ARP being _broadcast_ to the all address 255.255.255.255; that happens all the time on requests. This is asking "who-has 255.255.255.255"!

gnodal switches
by Rob McDonald 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Hi, Slightly OT maybe. Not an operational issue. But where else would you ask? Has anyone heard of what happened to gnodal? They sprang up, released some fairly impressive switches, went into receivership then were purchased by Cray computing... 18 months later you can buy their hardware on ebay... $5000 kiwi landed for a 72port 10gig SFP+ chassis? Has anyone made use of this kit? Cheers Rob

Android "stagefright" bug, aka "The Android End Times"
by Mike Forbes 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Seems this is pretty hot right now. Basically every single android device - and it seems very difficult to imagine a scenario where all those devices could be patched. Suggestions for mitigating include disabling the "Auto download / Auto retrieve" portion of your MMS app and/or disabling the MMS APN in your mobile settings. Though, of course the vulnerability is in the media library so assume the malicious code could be sent via other means. In talking to @jduck (he's a Kiwicon regular!) he's openly commented that this exploit could be definitely wormable.
