Completely agree. My interpretation of the guidance is the same (i.e. "continuing to use the exact same systems as were decided on and deployed prior to 11 May would not require a notice and replacing dead hardware with the same thing doesn't require this notice either"). As such, I'd be surprised if there had been a large number of submissions from every operator within 6 months.

ntp.net.nz Update
by Josh Simpson 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi NZNOG, Time for an update with regards to ntp.net.nz servers. On the morning of Saturday Nov 22, ntp3.ntp.net.nz failed with a similar issue to that of ntp2.ntp.net.nz, this happened just a few weeks short of the new ntp2 go live. Due to this event we have pushed the new ntp2 appliance into service as well as reconfiguring another new appliance that was to be ntp4 as a ntp3 replacement. Both of these went live on Nov 22 at 18:06 hours, along with reverting the DNS ntp2 -> ntp3 redirection changes that were made in the July 14th email. As part of this the IP addresses for ntp2 and ntp3 have changed to the following ntp2.ntp.net.nz: 202.46.178.18 ntp3.ntp.net.nz: 202.46.179.18 ntp2 was unavailable via IPv6 prior to the failure, we have plans to resolve this in the near future. ntp3 is now unavailable via IPv6 due to the short time span of the work on Saturday, we hope to have this resolved in the coming weeks. We will update the list when IPv6 is back up and running. If you had previously used the IP addresses in your configs be sure to update them. We do recommend using the DNS names specified at https://ntp.net.nz to avoid this issue in the future. If you need any further information, please contact us at support(a)nzrs.net.nz Cheers Josh -- Josh Simpson Systems Administrator .nz Registry Services M: +64 21 783 399 P: +64 4 555 0124 GPG: 6516 B4EA 413B CAED 57B5 0956 124C 8AC3 A362 8080 www.nzrs.net.nz

Generating a default route
by Dylan Hall 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hi all, I'm curious what other people are doing to generate a default route. The config I'm familiar with lists a set of networks, and if any of them are present then the default route is created. Is that how everyone does it? How are people choosing the set of networks? Do you just use Google and Facebook, after all, if they're present that's pretty much the whole internet? Do you use networks that your transit supplier originates? How many networks do you rely on? If I've lost 50% of my full route table in a fault, am I better off not generating default and letting my multi-homed customers use their backup supplier? Comments welcome on and off list :) Thanks, Dylan

Outdoor Plant Cabinet
by Alexander Neilson 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hey All We have been caught a little short on availability of our normal outside plant cabinet and I thought I might pop a call out to the list to see if anyone had advice or a spare lying around We are looking for a cabinet with front and back doors, 13RU internal 19” usable rack space (or an 18/19 RU one door rack) We need 600mm depth for the design. Does anyone have a cabinet sitting spare meeting these requirements or a company they have worked with for external cabinets who may have one in their showroom that could be mobilised or has space on a production line. We are looking for availability in 2-3 weeks so quite a tight timeframe. I can offer beer as a finders fee for successful outcome (plus we can buy a cabinet if someone has it spare at their place) *note not asking for loaner cabinets as the plan is to set in a concrete pad where the mounting pole is* Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Limited alexander(a)neilson.net.nz 021 329 681 022 456 2326

New IXs in NZ - discussion
by Bevan Slattery 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hi Joe, [snip] IX Australia are the only independent Internet Exchange operator in Australasia, with 16 years experience running exchanges throughout the region. Unlike all other Internet Exchanges in the region, we are not for profit, and seek to serve our members, not our shareholders. We're already very far down the path of bringing some very interesting content providers and large NSPs online. [/snip] Interesting to see IX-Australia following Megaport lead again and it¹s great to see competition. However, a few points regarding your statement above: 1. It is a misrepresentation to say that WAIA/IX-Australia is the only independent provider of IX Services in Australasia 2. Its generally known that IX-Australia provides services to organisations that aren¹t members of WAIA/IX-Australia. which apart from a contravention of its constitution means the statement above isn¹t quite factually correct. Can you confirm WAIA only provide services to registered members under its constitution? I can think of a handful that aren¹t. 3. The constitution of WAIA only provides for WAIA/IX Australia to service Australia, so I¹m not sure whether the announcement is simply a reaction to Megaports announcement, not approved by members/amended in the constitution or part of a plan to expand (not foreshadowed at the recent AGM which would have been the time to amend the constitution?) 4. WAIA is Incorporated in WA which actually only really provides for the delivery of services in Western Australia (there is a pathway to delivering nationally through Incorporation under ASIC), but certainly is not able to provide services outside of Australia. Operation outside of Australia may lead to issues regarding WAIA¹s incorporated status. Despite some persistent rumours that IX-Australia is perhaps being taken advantage of by a particular commercial carrier to hinder Megaports success, I would like to think otherwise, but this reaction to step outside the legal operational jurisdiction makes me think there is merit to same. So ultimately, from a Network Operations perspective it would be helpful to understand whether WAIA as an Incorporated Association in Western Australia is legally able to operate outside of Australia in the first instance though (even if the Constitution allowed it which I don¹t think it does). Your clarification to the list would be helpful. Cheers [b] WAIA 2013 Constitution https://www.waia.asn.au/node/83
