Re: [nznog] people blocking "all APNIC space"
by Steve Phillips 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Just recently came across another blocking of 210.0.0.0/8 with chat servers. While probably not considered by many to be a productive service :-) it does still show attitudes that say "APNIC ? forget it" and this attitude appears to be markedly prevalent amongst US based admins and now appears to be expanding to cover services other than e-mail. -- Steve.

Did anybody else experience problems with Telstra IP Services this morning ( 00:30 to 02:00 and 06:50 to 7:50)?

IPv6 in NZ?
by Juha Saarinen 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

Noticed on: http://snurl.com/1638 that Xtra "isn't considering moving to" IPv6 and also claims that "none of the ISPs are", presumably meaning the NZ ones. I know this is not correct, and that Joe Abley and Clear were at it back in '98 already, with the Uni of Canterbury. Where are things at with IPv6 in NZ now though? -- Juha Saarinen

RE: [nznog] tranzpeer leaking at APE

We have also had one of our main providers leaking the global routing table into our routers. Its time to heed Joes advice and ensure your max prefixes are set (or at least your filtering is correctly configured) Cheers Rob Purdy -----Original Message----- From: Joe Abley [mailto:jabley(a)automagic.org] Sent: Monday, 14 April 2003 5:14 p.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: [nznog] tranzpeer leaking at APE 192.203.154.46 in AS 9790 seems to be leaking a global table to peers across the APE at the moment; if you aren't filtering (or don't have maximum-prefix limits set) and you were wondering where all your traffic is going, it might be going that way. _______________________________________________ Nznog mailing list Nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
