There is a widespread movement in intergovernmental organisations (APEC TEL, APT, ITU-T, ITU-D) attempting to first measure international traffic (nothing wrong with that), second assess who benefits (by some yet to be determined means), and then through some regulatory mechanism institute a 'fairer' cost sharing mechanism. There is no prize for essays outlining the numerous pitfalls in all of this. At the same time, there is some evidence that NZ is quite disadvantaged cf US operators by the present 'smallest ISP/carrier carries all the connnection costs' system. For example we have some very new survey results indicating that 18% of NZ firms with 50+ staff locate their web sites off shore (presumably, mainly in the US). Having better peering systems world-wide would not actually assist NZ much in this as we face the same problem with links to Australia and Asia as we do to the US. Nevertheless, saner peering would reduce costs overall and increase reliability, decrease latency, etc. I would very much appreciate anyone with information relating to influences on current traffic flows and especially regulatory effects, such as the regulatory system in India which prevents local peering, contacting me directly.

RPSL on rs2.ape.net.nz - a request for help.
by Simon Blake 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hi Folks ASJL and I are working on RPSL on the second route server on APE, we're investigating ways of making the route servers better, stronger, more trustworthy, and easier to use for the ISP's out there. To that end, we need as many peers advertising routes into the route server as we can lay our grubby mitts on. So, a request please - if you're on APE, can you set up a peering session with 192.203.154.2 on ASN 9560, and drop me a line with your prefix list in it. At this stage, I'd recommend ignoring everything you receive from the route servers. Thanks muchly Si - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Forcing TTL expirey in bind
by Donovan Jones 15 May '02

15 May '02

Hi I'm a new subscriber to the list. I have a few questions I believe are appropriate for this list. On a non-authoritative nameserver running BIND is it possible (when sshed onto the server): 1. to view the current TTL on a cached record? 2. to force a cached record with some time still to run to expire, i.e. to re query the record. Using the nslookup or host commands is it possible to: query a nameserver to get the time till a cached name will be looked up host -t SOA domain.net returns the initial TTL, but not the time remaining Donovan Jones - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG 2002 Speakers - Updated Draft List
by Donald Neal 14 May '02

14 May '02

Here's the current draft list of NZNOG speakers for 11 and 12 July. Work is continuing on clarifying one or two other contributions. This looks to me like a strong two-day programme. 802.11a - Matthew G. Brown, B & R Holdings Distributed Denial of Service: The current state and counter measures - Juergen Brendel, Esphion Ltd IPv6 for Dummies (and not so Dummies) - Dean Pemberton, Juniper Networks (Aust.) Multicast Development - Greg Shephard, Juniper Networks (USA) Multicasting - an Introduction to the Technology and Applications - David Robb, Telecom NZ Multitenanted VoIP and the VoIP Market in New Zealand - Roger De Salis, Cisco Systems NLANR Active Measurement Project - Tony McGregor, The University of Waikato Providing Outsourced Network Security Solutions - Arron Scott, Cisco Systems Residential Ethernet-on-Fibre - Colin Goodwin, Ericsson NZ RPSL - Andy Linton, Lionra Strategies for Managing Denial of Service - Ian Quinn, Juniper Networks Tracking and Quantifying DDoS Attacks - David Moore, CAIDA (USA) Any substantial addition - and such an addition is possible - would mean that we'd need to go to a third day. If that were done, Thursday and Friday 11 and 12 July would remain the days for papers, with tutorial time on Saturday 13th. A registration announcement should follow shortly. - Donald Neal "MMS <telecom.co.nz>" made the following annotations on 05/13/02 10:52:50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
