Looking for data on how much Netflix/SVOD data NZ ISPs are seeing
by Dean Pemberton 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi Everyone. Following recent media articles making mention of "the Netflix effect" and broadband slowdowns at peak times, we've had a number of requests to see if we could pull together some facts from NZ ISPs detailing what they are actually seeing. So the question is... How much Netflix/SVOD traffic are you seeing, either as a direct measurement or percentage of total traffic. Does this percentage change at all during the day/week. I realise that this may be considered commercially sensitive but I'm sure we can find a way to make it work. If you're happy to give number on the list that would be great. Good on you for sharing. If you're not comfortable with that then drop me a line and we can discuss how you might feel more comfortable about sharing the facts. I'm happy to agree to only give an aggregated number from people who contact me privately for eg "ISPs are seeing between X and Y % SVOD traffic" Or you could just tell me and I'll keep it to myself (not quite as helpful but I can use it for context). You could also tell me "we have no way of knowing" and I guess that's a data point too :).

Need assistance troubleshooting a DNS issue
by Glen Eustace 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

>From about October/November last year we have been getting the odd call from some of our customers to report that our servers are ‘not found’. So far, each report has been from an Xtra broadband user. When investigating these reports we have found that the servers were fine and DNS lookups from various sources (except Xtra) were as well. Last night the issue happened to a member of the family so I was able to jump onto their computer using Teamviewer and do some more thorough diagnostics. My results were; Name servers in use: ns1.xtra.co.nz <http://ns1.xtra.co.nz/> and ns2.xtra.co.nz <http://ns2.xtra.co.nz/> Name servers pingable from PC: Yes Does smtp.godzone.net.nz <http://smtp.godzone.net.nz/> resolve: No, times out Do other resources in our DNS resolve: No, time out Do resources in other DNS servers resolve: Yes Are all 4 of our name servers pingable from PC: Yes, 2 in NZ and 2 offshore Use nslookup to query our name servers directly, does smtp.godzone.net.nz <http://smtp.godzone.net.nz/> resolve: Yes Use nslookup to query our name servers using 8.8.8.8, does smtp.godzone.net.nz <http://smtp.godzone.net.nz/> resolve: Yes To fix the issue on the PC, I manually set the name servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, all our services were then resolvable and useable. So, whats going on ? How are our servers different ? Well, we are one of the few ISPs that are using DNSSec to sign zones. Is DNSSec broken ? Not according to dnsviz.net <http://dnsviz.net/> The problem is also intermittent, I have heard that the two Xtra servers are actually LB VIPs in front of a farm of name servers. With the intermittent nature of the issue I wonder whether one server in the farm might be broken/misconfigured, just a thought. I have tried, without success to contact appropriate people at Xtra to either comment or assist and have failed to get past the level one helpdesk people. Their only response being “Sorry we can’t help you”. I am not saying this is an issue with Xtra’s internal recursive DNS servers but so far I have been unable to replicate the issue and have had no reports from any of our other customers using alternative broadband suppliers. I have run out of ideas now on how to continue to investigate this and just changing to Google’s DNS servers might work but isn’t a great solution. If anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate hearing from you.

MyRepublic Hamilton Outage
by Laurence Bullivant 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Morning, This is more of a curiosity post then anything else, but does anyone know what is going on with the MyRepublic outage in Hamilton? Its gone past 72hours now and the only thing that is being said is that its a fault with the UFF handover. I don't know about anyone else but the idea of upstream provided having a fault that could take down an entire region for more then three days makes me a little nervous. Time to go check those SLA's anyone? -- Laurence Bullivant laurence(a)bullivant.co.nz 021 909 906

I would say yes, as all our hosts have both A and AAAA records. Assuming the above, that moves the issue back in my direction. I am seeing requests from a number of the rNS servers and the issue is intermittent so still more trouble shooting needed I think :-) Glen

IPv6 & DNSSEC make for large UDP replies, which tend to choke some infrastructure kit... 2 of our 4 name servers are fully dual stack but the queries I do see coming from the Xtra rNS farm are all IPv4.

BGP Map 2015 edition
by Blair Harrison 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hi All I've just made up a new version of my DFZ Map, taking routeviews data and making it somewhat visible.. FWIW there is about 20Mb of json data on the page, so you probably don't want to load it from your phone. http://jedi.school.nz/sg2015/ Note, I haven't included anything other than routeviews.org data so the APE/WIX/etc peerings aren't included in this version. There was a bit of feedback from the last version that it would be good to search by ASN as well as name, so you can do that in this version. All feedback welcome on or offlist. Cheers, Blair
