One Day down.... Four to go
by Dean Pemberton 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

Hello from NZNOG 2014 in sunny Nelson! The venue is awesome and we're off to a great start. The BGP Routing and Network Security workshops are underway and the participants have been giving outstanding feedback. We've got less than 10 more registration slots left for the main conference before we're all sold out. If you're leaving it until the last minute... I'd suggest that you don't . See you all here.

Re: [nznog] NZNOG Digest, Vol 133, Issue 14
by Jonathan Spence 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

They have been doing this for ages (maybe 6 months at least). We had to disable IPv6 on our mail server as we were struggling to get rDNS delegation from Orcon. Got too busy to follow up on it but will do so when I get a minute.

Acceptable levels of packet loss
by Matthew Poole 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Been running SmokePing for a little while now, building up a statistical sample, and wondering what's an acceptable level of loss to be seeing through the provider's core, both to targets foreign and domestic and also from the premises to the first hop in the provider's network. Obviously I'm seeing a non-zero level (averages are in the zero-point-something range, but some of the maximums are above 0), so want to know what people consider to be the point where I go from "unreasonable customer" to "customer with a justified concern"? -- Matthew Poole "The difference between theory and practice is that practice is easier in theory than theory is in practice"

IPv4 Brokering and Availability Announcements
by Skeeve Stevens 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hi all, I will keep this brief. After many comments to us where people have had to deal with US companies to acquire IPv4, eintellego Networks has decided formalise a service offering IP Brokering. After facilitating and consulting for over a dozen transactions in different countries (including NZ) under the APNIC region - including NZ, we thought it would be good to have a service available locally by someone you know. For more information: http://eintellegonetworks.com/site/ipbrokering/ So, rather than trolling lists when ranges become available or we have a client looking to sell a block, I've setup an announcement list so that I can let interested parties know when a range is available. If you wish to join this list and receive these announcements, please visit: http://eintellegonetworks.com/site/v4announce/ to sign-up. FYI, eintellego Networks has just launched in NZ as a locally registered foreign company to mainly do other business including hardware/consulting and network operations. Also, eintellego Networks is the only APNIC registered<http://www.apnic.net/services/become-a-member/manage-your-membership/transf…>IPv4 broker that is based in the APNIC region (all the other are presently American). Any questions, feel free to let me know off-list. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.co.nz ; www.eintellegonetworks.co.nz Phone: +612 8014 7398; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering

Do you stream video?
by Dean Pemberton 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi Everyone, Due to unforeseen circumstances our usual video streaming company of choice (R2) is unable to stream NZNOG live this year. They are able to record the session and have it available for streaming later on, It's just the live streaming they can't provide. Is there anyone in the community who does this sort of thing and wants to step forward and have a go? Just email krystal(a)internetnz.net.nz and let her know. The provisio is that it has to be drama free and this isn't an opportunity to 'try things out'. If you haven't done this sort of thing/scale before, then you might be best to give it a miss. If no one comes forward, then record-for-later-streaming it is.

NZNOG 2014 Social Events
by Dean Pemberton 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi Everyone. Another conference update. THURSDAY NIGHT CONFERENCE DINNER Conference Dinner on the Thursday night will be a buffet style dinner has been organised for the Thursday night dinner, 6:30pm at the Mercure Monaco Marquette. Buses will leave from The Rutherford hotel at 6pm and return on the hour from 9 to 11pm. There is even a pub across the road called The Honest Lawyer for those who feel the need to move on. http://www.monacoresort.co.nz/ WEDNESDAY NIGHT I've also been asked what the plan is for the Wednesday evening. As it happens, nothing. In the mists of time, Wednesday night was always informally organised. Often involving food from the sub-continent. Everyone split the bill and basically it was Thursday Night Curry on a Wednesday night! Like Christmas in July! In more recent years, a specific spondsor kindly funded drinks and nibbles on the Wednesday at many a well respected establishment. With this in mind we placed the position of "Networking Drinks" on the sponsorship document in case someone wanted to take up the opportunity. So far this year none of our sponsors have indicated that they would like to take up this offer, so we will return to the default informal arrangement of the past. That being said there are options. If you are a potential sponsor who would like to fund an event on the Wednesday night, our events person Krystal (krystal(a)internetnz.net.nz) would be more than happy to talk through the opportunities with you. I'm also told there are some nice Indian places in Nelson http://www.menus.co.nz/restaurants/indian/nelson/ Failing that there are places that sell beer. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=1017353080318029218… Basically at the moment it will be up to people to arrange their own food/fun on Wednesday, but being the well adjusted social people I know you all are, I'm sure this won't be a problem. If we do get a benevolent sponsor come forward to save the Wednes-Day we'll be sure to let you know ASAP. Regards, Dean
