Hi Craig, Yes, I spotted that this morning, hence we need some document updates - my understanding (it's not my document) is that specific wording hung around from an old version of the document and it was intended to point out that we will not utilise DEI/colour marking from RSPs into our network. Thanks, Brent BrentMarquis Layer 2 Network Specialist T +6448964169 M +64272290923 E Brent.Marquis(a)chorus.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Craig Whitmore [mailto:lennon(a)orcon.net.nz] Sent: Thursday, 9 October 2014 10:44 a.m. To: Brent Marquis; nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: RE: [nznog] UFB Upload Issues Maybe I'm a little confused but reading the TUG it says DEI is not used /aware? Page 48 of the Chorus NGA TUG it states... Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) or Discard Eligible Indicator (DEI) is set to 0. DEI applies to the 802.1ad outer tag and is not used, i.e. NGA is not colour-aware. ???? -----Original Message----- From: nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Brent Marquis Sent: Thursday, 9 October 2014 9:44 a.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] UFB Upload Issues Thanks for pushing all that info back into the list. I know of 1 RSP which has Juniper equipment that seems to be discarding CFI/DEI=1. I guess some switches need a bit of config to recognise CFI as DEI or to re-write it entirely (luckily there haven't been any hardware issues yet) This communication, including any attachments, is confidential and may be legally privileged.

by Richard Nelson 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

It turns out that June is much too early to issue the CFP for NZNOG next January. So here it is again. We are negotiating with some interesting international speakers but we rely on submissions from the local community to make the programme interesting. Remember there is a prize of a trip to Japan. Richard. -------- The NZNOG organising committee invites papers for its 13th annual conference, to be hosted at the Distinction Hotel, Rotorua, New Zealand from 26 - 30th January 2015. There will the three day Workshops 26 – 28 January, a day of tutorials on 28 January with the main conference on 29 – 30 January. The best local conference paper as judged by the trustees in association with the programme committee will win a trip to APRICOT 2015, to be held jointly with APAN 39 in Fukuoka, Japan, from February 24th to March 6th 2015. Umm that’s right, an all[1] expenses paid trip to JAPAN!!!! It's a real thing. Two people have won this in previous years and to be honest they seemed pretty happy with the prize. Conference objective: The NZNOG conference, workshops and tutorials are a once-a-year opportunity for individuals and organisations involved in Internet operations to meet and share the latest in Internet operations, technologies practices and receive high quality training. The event is unique in New Zealand and attracts technical, skilled individuals with a genuine interest in Internet operations and Internetworking technologies.

Abstracts should be no more than one page long and provide a summary of your networking-related subject matter. Please note that full slide decks will be required by late November. To submit your paper please e-mail: talks(a)nznog.org When considering a presentation, remember that the NZNOG audience is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in SIGs and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators in the conference sessions. Note: The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals is not compulsory but will help us determine the quality of your proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted. The organising committee will evaluate proposals based on fit with the conference’s objective and its ability to stimulate lively discussions around the current state of New Zealand networking. The best local paper will be judged by a selection of the trustees and the programme committee. It will be expected the best paper is submitted by the winner for presentation at APRICOT. More details on paper submission can be found at http://www.nznog.org/call-for-papers For more information about the conference visit www.nznog.org or contact: talks(a)nznog.org [1] where 'all' means Return Flights, Accommodation and Conference Fees. You still need to pay for things like food and entertainment. Most of what you need to eat/drink is covered in the conference though. We're also open to cases of special needs should you win. --------

Whole of Domain Web Harvest 2014 - Robots.txt
by Jay Gattuso 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi Noggers, We are looking at undertaking another Whole of Domain (WOD) web harvest during this financial year. (I will be in touch with you with the specifics once we have some of the timings formalised with the crawl contractor, the Internet Archive. I wanted to ask for your views on adherence to robots.txt. We have three options that are hypothetically available to us, each with various merits. 1) Strictly adhere - will miss some artefacts required to replay a site correctly 2) Adhere but follow embeds - (allows us to get linked images, css, some json etc) 3) Ignore - most fulsome crawl. On the last WOD (in 2013) we used option (2), and I wanted to test if this was still the right option to choose. We aim to capture the most complete snapshot of the NZ web possible so it is available to future generations. This Robots issues directly affects the completeness of the crawl we can undertake. If we choose the wrong option, there is a risk of a, reduced crawl coverage, and frustrated web content operators. I'm really keen to make sure we are able to capture the most complete WOD we can, and seek your opinions on the above, on or off list.

Did DNS replies for outlook.office365.com increase in size on Friday?
by Michael Fincham 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi all, Out of curiosity - did anyone else see the DNS replies for outlook.office365.com scoot over 512 bytes on Friday? An ANY query from here currently returns a 740 byte answer. Trying to determine if Microsoft changed something on their end or my customer's router unexpectedly lost the ability to deal with large DNS replies 8^) -- Michael

2U swap for DR
by Rob McDonald 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hello all, I'm canvassing (soliciting??) for people interested to swap a few U and a few Mbps for a DR / monitoring server. People who just want to sell me rack space and data in a one way arrangement need not apply, I can research that myself. We are based in Auckland, but realise that all the sites we have available to put our monitoring and DR server are also in Auckland, with very similar network paths. To keep it on topic, to the winning referral goes the beer!

Hi guys, does anyone know the traffic path (or source IP's) for the Spark Lightbox service ? Interested to know if they are handing the traffic over APE or not. I really hope someone has not done something very stupid and put the streaming servers in Sydney and expect all the ISP's to pay to haul the traffic in internationally.
