CloudFlare Peering Blog

Interesting article from CloudFlare... http://blog.cloudflare.com/the-relative-cost-of-bandwidth-around-the-world/ While NZ isn't mentioned I'm picking we get lumped in with Australia for which they have this to say... "Australia Australia is the most expensive region in which we operate, but for an interesting reason. We peer with virtually every ISP in the region except one: Telstra. Telstra, which controls approximately 50% of the market, and was traditionally the monopoly telecom provider, charges some of the highest transit pricing in the world — 20x the benchmark ($200/Mbps). Given that we are able to peer approximately half of our traffic, the effective bandwidth benchmark price is $100/Mbps. To give you some sense of how out-of-whack Australia is, at CloudFlare we pay about as much every month for bandwidth to serve all of Europe as we do to for Australia. That’s in spite of the fact that approximately 33x the number of people live in Europe (750 million) versus Australia (22 million). If Australians wonder why Internet and many other services are more expensive in their country than anywhere else in the world they need only look to Telstra. What's interesting is that Telstra maintains their high pricing even if only delivering traffic inside the country. Given that Australia is one large land mass with relatively concentrated population centers, it's difficult to justify the pricing based on anything other than Telstra's market power. In regions like North America where there is increasing consolidation of networks, Australia's experience with Telstra provides a cautionary tale."

I have a surplus-to-requirements cableways rack available to a good home. It’s in Auckland (Blockhouse Bay), and you have to come and pick it up. https://paradise.gen.nz/stuff/rack.jpg If you want to give me money for it, that’d be great, if the best offer is someone who’ll just take it away, that’ll do. Thanks, David

NZNOG Power Leads and Multiboards
by Mark Foster 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hi Folks I'm trying to track down the NZNOG pool of power leads and multiboards; i'm hoping to borrow these if possible. Queries to the NZNOG conference team don't seem to be going anywhere and i'm not sure who the organisers for this year are, to ping them personally. Does anyone know the wherabouts of these? Offlist responses perhaps most appropriate. Thanks Mark.

Unwanted Traffic Removal Service (UTRS)
by Dean Pemberton 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

The latest useful community service from Team Cymru ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Kristoff <jtk(a)cymru.com> [ Apologies if you have seen this elsewhere already - jtk ] Friends and colleagues, Last week I briefly discussed a new project we've recently launched and for which invited participation from the NANOG 62 attendees. This is a not so subtle wider request for consideration. UTRS is essentially a community RTBH that people have suggested to us would be a good service to provide, so we're giving it a go. The lightning talk page has the slide deck I presented: <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/abstract?id=2436> I've also put some additional technical detail here: <http://www.cymru.com/jtk/misc/utrs.html> There was a brief discussion, mostly criticism and that is fine, that took place on the NANOG list you may wish to review. If you have an assigned ASN and this sounds like something you or your network would like to take advantage of, drop me a line, I'd sure like to hear about it. If you think this is a terrible idea and want to express all that is wrong with it, tell me that too, I can take it. Even if you're unsure if you would ultimately deploy it in production, but are interested in testing it, do contact me. We won't expend energy on this project and will drop it if we there isn't sufficient interest from the community, but enough trial users would be encouraging. Kindly, John

Is there anyone on the list using mikrotik hardware to receive UFB Handovers from Chorus?
by Alexander Neilson 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hey Everyone We have just stood up our first Chorus UFB Handovers in Auckland and Wellington and while the Mikrotik’s are showing the interfaces as running Chorus are telling me their end is “operationally down”. I have tried changing all the settings I have on my end and they are still reporting the same result. I have tried alternative optics, checked light levels with a meter, and even had a Chorus tech out to take a look. Chorus originally pointed to the SFP+ being the issue, now they are saying the config is wrong on my device and that they aren’t “seeing layer two”. I have asked them for any errors on the port or similar and they haven’t reported any to me. I am a little stumped here and would appreciate the advice of anyone doing either 1G or 10G HO Links for UFB with Chorus who could provide any input or any idea of issues they have seen with the configs that would help me diagnose this issue and resolve it. Thank you for your time. Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Limited alexander(a)neilson.net.nz 021 329 681 022 456 2326
