Even though we are all awesome and as smart as you(!), please provide a
picture for those of us who have had too many Friday night drinks!

> Hello all,
>
> A few weeks back we were loaned 2 x /24s[1] and 2 x ASNs by APNIC R&D,
> big thanks to Geoff Huston. One ASN and /24 lives on the Tui route-
> server at APE, and the others on the Tui route-server at WIX.
> They are:
> - APE: AS24021 203.147.108.0/24
> - WIX: AS45163 203.147.109.0/24
>
> These /24s are used for the unit's 6to4 address, which is used for 2
> things:
> - BGP peer address for remote Tui boxes.
> - Next hop for v6 routes from native exchange peers. These routes are
> only given to remote Tui boxes that are on networks that are visible
> from APE/WIX.
>
> The first Tui route-server has been installed by Andy on WIX today,
> we're looking to get the APE one in next week.
>
> If you are on WIX, can you please accept 203.147.109.0/24 from the WIX
> v4 route-servers. If you prefer private peering on the exchange we can
> do that too, drop me an email - nward@braintrust.co.nz.
>
> Same for the APE /24 next week.

> Now, that gets these two /24s visible to networks that are visible at
> APE/WIX, however that doesn't get us to networks that aren't. If you
> can see these two /24s, please transit them - ie. advertise them to
> your peers and transit providers. That let's networks that don't peer
> (for whatever reason) still use Tui boxes in their networks.
> If you transit these /24s, the only data you'll see going across your
> network to/from these networks is BGP traffic in 6to4. You won't see
> any actual data, just BGP control messages. The routing policy only
> gives next hops in these /24s if the remote Tui box is in a network
> visible to the exchange (in which case you won't transit packets for
> that network) - if it's not, it only gets information about other Tui
> boxes, and that data goes direct between Tui boxes. I've been trying
> to figure out how to explain this clearly in words.. hopefully that
> makes sense. I'll follow up with a picture if needed.
>
> In short - please accept and re-advertise those two /24s to your
> peers, customers, and internationally to help out this Tui project,
> they are very low traffic and only carry control data, I promise.
> We're talking kilobits per second here, so it's really nothing.
>
> Also, if you do transit them, please tell me so I can tell people all
> about how awesome you are, and buy you beer when I next see you.

> Big thanks go to InternetNZ for hardware and support, APNIC for v4 and
> ASNs, and Citylink for exchange connectivity, hardware, etc.
