Dear
Members
We are proud to let you
know of our joint initiative with CityLink which will see InternetNZ
provide funding necessary to enable a public access IPv6/IPv4 local
Gateway and a one megabit low latency link for six months between APE6 and
WIX6 for non commercial testing commencing in January
2004.
Please read details

CityLink will present
this in operation at the NZNOG Big Geek Program 04, hosted by Waikato
University. (28-30th) 3 days ~$120 Registration (discount until 9th
January) http://www.nznog.org.
InternetNZ is a major
sponsor of this conference and I shall attend presenting the technical
case for Multicast enabling the New Zealand network as well as hosting a BoF
on this Topic and network InterOperability initiatives which InternetNZ
has been fostering over the past 6 months.
At our last Council
meeting it was agreed that we would also provide upto $2,500 of educational
materials for this Conference. InternetNZ has ordered and is
contributing technical books on how to enable Inter Domain Multicast services
using Cisco and Juniper equipment. These will be distributed to those
attending the Multicast BoF.
If you can attend or
help your engineers get some time to join us there we would really enjoy
getting together and besides Roger DeSalis is sponsoring the Bar :) Peter
Macaulay will also be there with other INZ councillors as he claims lineage as
a proto-geek of the '60s :)
Best
regards
