Uniforum Meeting and Various Belated Thank-Yous
by Joe Abley 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

(warning! non-operational content. Press "d" now.) This is going to sound a little bit like a delayed reaction, but I've been travelling wildly since the meeting and hence have something of a mental meme backlog. It was very pleasant to be back putting names to faces and waving my hands in front of a whiteboard. Many thanks to Roger & Co for organising the meeting, and for inviting me to come down and speak. My travel to Auckland was paid for by Domainz -- without their funding I likely would not have been able to visit to talk at the meeting, nor turn up the F root server instance in Auckland in July (if your traceroute to f.root-servers.net currently leaves the country, feel free to contact peering(a)isc.org to set up a peering session with us in Auckland, or encourage your ISP to do the same). Direct assistance and ongoing donations of time, network, colo and equipment for the F root server were provided by Juniper, TelstraClear, Citylink, FX Networks and 2day.com, all of whom should hereby consider themselves heartily thanked. http://www.isc.org/ISC/news/pr-07232003.html Joe

Staff remote access
by nward＠esphion.com 27 Jul '03

27 Jul '03

I currently have an IPExpress circuit from TelstraClear providing Internet access. I'd like to be able to have staff use some kind of fast IP service (ie ADSL), to connect in to the office to do thier work, I don't want Internet access over these links, just some form of nationally accessable 'VPN'. It only needs to be 1-2Mbit speed, but can't complain if its more. Is this kind of thing being done? I tried to contact Telecom about it only to have some customer support monkey tell me that ADSL is an Internet thing, and as much as I love dealing with support people... I assume many replies to this will be deemed commercial and OT, so please contact me off-list. Nathan Ward

Anyone else receiving spam which "is not part of a mass mailout" ? They even fail to refer to which domain I should keep with domainz, as far as I know I have moved my domains over to orcon almost a month ago.

Performance issues on Citylink yesterday (Saturday Jul 19)
by Simon Blake 19 Jul '03

19 Jul '03

Our apologies to the folks who suffered from performance problems on Citylink yesterday (Saturday). They were caused by an ISP under apparent SYN attack - not in itself a particularly unusual occurence, what was interesting was that in changes on Saturday morning (about 3am) said ISP managed to make the IP address under attack an unfiltered broadcast address on Citylink, so we all got to share the pain of a kind of combo SYN/smurf attack. The attacks manifested as 8-10Mb/s streams coming from the ISP onto Citylink for 1-4 minutes, about twice every two hours, which in turn caused some 10Mb customers on Citylink some disruption of service - 100Mb/1Gb customers seemed to be largely unaffected. The short duration and occasional nature of the problem did cause a few issues with tracking it and getting a resolution (about 9pm last night) - again, our apologies for not getting it sorted faster. Cheers Si
