bufferbloat talk at nznog friday
by Dave Taht 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

I am curious as to what aspects of bufferbloat I should cover more deeply in my upcoming talk at nznog this friday? http://www.nznog.org/home/2015-papers Most of my own personal focus has been on speeding up the edge of the internet, and now wifi, while I have a feeling I should touch upon more on island-to-world connectivity and satellite connectivity issues for this audience. We've given plenty of talks in the past. See talks by van jacobson, jim gettys, jesper dangaurd-bauer, Stephen hemminger, Eric Dumazet, Toke Hoiland Jorgensen, here: http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Bloat-videos And the manifesto for FQ+AQM here: https://gettys.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/low-latency-requires-smart-queuing-… So... To what extent do NZNOG folk already grok the causes and cures for bufferbloat? I'm perfectly willing to drop my usual detailed explanation of how tcp bandwidth probing works and talk abut new stuff going on, and wifi, if desired... talk more to bandwidth management and traffic engineering tools, etc. ... there is someone here today doing mikrotik training, and as yet only mikrotik only supports SFQ, not fq_codel. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89221 http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63594 I have a pair of slides on the differences between SFQ and fq_codel. ... And so on. I'm here all week... I've borrowed a NZ vm, run a few experiments worldwide, am fiddling with some parameters... -- Dave Täht http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Upcoming_Talks

IPv6 support across NZ ISPs
by Lindsay Hill 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

After last year's IPv6 issues, I was wondering what the status is of IPv6 support across NZ ISPs. I couldn't find that data in any one place, so I've been pulling it together myself, into a Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KmhVGN_vPzerUzhpya8lBxdgHc1rCyuWIsY… This is primarily focused around residential ISPs, and the status of their IPv6 support for 'regular' customers. I'm interested in three things: * Is IPv6 supported - fully or trial? * What prefix lengths are given to customers * Are static allocations available?" I've got data on 11 ISPs so far, with requests out for another 3. This covers the majority of end-user connections in NZ. There are of course many more niche ISPs, and I'm happy to add their info. You can see that support is generally poor, which is probably why Google says we're only doing ~0.6% IPv6 traffic. Comments + Updates welcome. Once I've got a bit more data, this will probably go into a more permanent home. If we get enough data, we could break out into residential vs business vs co-location IPv6 support. I am aware of at least a couple of ISPs that are doing IPv6 trials, and when they go live, it will significantly shift the overall IPv6 penetration rate in NZ. But those trials are still mostly internal only, and you can only get on them if you know the right people. If the regular public can't get onto those trials, then I think they should be listed as "Unsupported" - too many ISPs have made noises about running trials years ago, but never got around to actually launching. You know who you are.

APE route flapping
by Tim Price 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi All, Some of you may have noticed that there is some route flappage going on this morning and some of your Domestic/APE facing routing processes may be going haywire. It is probably an appropriate time to check your session route limits on APE and raise them to ~6000. Massey and Vocus; I note that your APE sessions are flapping with Vocus’s route updates causing the lions share of my issues this morning: http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi?query=bgp&protocol=IPv4&addr=neighbors+192.2 03.154.123&router=rs1.ape.nzix.net http://nzix.net/cgi-bin/lg.cgi?query=bgp&protocol=IPv4&addr=neighbors+192.2 03.154.62&router=rs1.ape.nzix.net Cheers, Tim.

Re: [nznog] IPv6 support across NZ ISPs [SECURITY=UNCLASSIFIED]
by HENDERSON MIKE, MR 26 Jan '15

Unfortunately, "those who have bothered to implement it" appear to be commercially inconsequential in the residential and mobile broadband markets. According to Andrew Cushen's recent blog post (at http://tinyurl.com/nvdxgh2) Spark, Vodafone and Callplus (= Orcon and Slingshot) between them own 94% of the residential broadband market, and of them Orcon says it has a 'trial' IPv6 offering, all the others Just Say No. Vodafone, Spark and two Degrees of course own 100% of the mobile broadband market, and none of them appear to offer IPv6. I'm afraid that v6 traffic is going to continue to be down amongst the noise until either Vodafone or Spark come to the IPv6 party Regards Mike Disclaimer: opinions expressed are mine and may not represent the position of my employer From: nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Pete Mundy Sent: Monday, 26 January 2015 5:37 p.m. To: nznog Subject: Re: [nznog] IPv6 support across NZ ISPs Agreed! Back-pats to those who have bothered to implement it. I know I base my purchasing decisions on it's availability. FWIW we went through a process of finding co-lo package providers that would provide IP space, bandwidth and physical hosting for our PBX equipment around 12 months ago and one of the pre-requisites was the ability to provision us IPv6 space. I was disappointed to find that only 3 of the 10 NZ providers we approached were able to offer it! Most said "it's on the roadmap, but not yet". Some just said "no". In the end we selected two of the providers that could, and we are very happy with the service from both. Hat tips to both Vibe and Unleash/Solarix; your IPv6 support was a significant part of what got you our custom :) Server colo (or VPS') are a different market than home DSL or UFB, but I think it could be interesting & useful to have some sort of matrix of IPv6 availability in that sector too. And 'business' UFB/HSNS/VSDL etc too for that matter. I do hope my 30% hit rate isn't an accurate indicator...

They're adding a "leap second" at Noon, Wednesday, 1 July 2015 NZ Standard Time {SECURITY=UNCLASSIFIED}
by HENDERSON MIKE, MR 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Folks, Some of you may not have noticed this in the post-Christmas doze ... What will happen is that on 30th June [UTC time] the clock will go 23:59:59 > 23:59:60 > 00:00:00, instead of 23:59:59 > 00:00:00, i.e. an extra 'leap' second is inserted. It will cause the odd issue or two, depending on your environment and operating system.. For example, if you should happen to use RHEL you could start here https://access.redhat.com/articles/15145 There were certainly issues in other Linux distributions (including Oracle Linux and SLES) last time this happened on 30th June / 1st July 2012. Regards Mike ________________________________________ Press Coverage: This year will be slightly longer after the Paris Observatory announced that it was adding a "leap second" at midnight [UTC] on June 30 http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/extra-second-to-be-added-to-2015-… Note: Midnight [UTC] on June 30 2015 is Noon, Wednesday, 1 July 2015 NZ Standard Time Official Announcement: INTERNATIONAL EARTH ROTATION AND REFERENCE SYSTEMS SERVICE (IERS) SERVICE INTERNATIONAL DE LA ROTATION TERRESTRE ET DES SYSTEMES DE REFERENCE SERVICE DE LA ROTATION TERRESTRE DE L'IERS OBSERVATOIRE DE PARIS 61, Av. de l'Observatoire 75014 PARIS (France) Tel. : 33 (0) 1 40 51 22 26 FAX : 33 (0) 1 40 51 22 91 e-mail : services.iers(a)obspm.fr<mailto:services.iers(a)obspm.fr> http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc Paris, 5 January 2015 Bulletin C 49 To authorities responsible for the measurement and distribution of time UTC TIME STEP on the 1st of July 2015 A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2015.

New prefixes on WIX
by Tim Price 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Heads up that ~700 new prefixes just appeared then vanished from WIX route reflector 2. This momentarily pushed the route totals up over 2000 which may have reset a few BGP sessions for anyone limiting their received prefixes to 2000 on that session. Cheers, Tim.
