Hi Jordan,

As for the papers being at nznog, the main pitch of this quite low-key event has been to university researchers, rather than technical community participants. It's a good idea to share this set of discussions with a wider community - I hope you agree.

The following are very much of interest to the NZNOG community, and other NZNOG attendees from APNIC and ICANN. In fact Broadband Map was much discussed by a number of the ISPs in attendance. DNS is a mainstay of NZNOG, and Internet topology is something I personally spoke about...

The NZRS data service is a collection of over 100 spatial and aspatial data sets related to broadband and Internet coverage in New Zealand.�� The service brings together disparate data sets. The majority of data sets are geospatial and accessible via a number of web services.�� This presentation will introduce the following:

Data sets available via the service
The data collection and collation process
Spatial analysis using the service
Presentation of the data and analysis online
The presentation will include an example of accessing the service, identifying residential broadband availability and presenting it online.

Note: This data service is the base of a project we've been working, the National Broadband Map

Jumping into a large pool of data

NZRS has access to over two years and half's worth of DNS data from the .nz namespace. There are many things lurking within and we've been interested in developing ways to detect malicious or weird behavior. This presentation will talk about our successes and failures in trying to summarise and classify behavior in this dataset, and the techniques we've been using.

The presentation will include discussion about:

Challenges in reading the (very messy) DNS data
The popularity of political party websites throughout election yearand how it changed with respect to real-life events
Heuristics for identifying botnet activity ��� especially algorithmically-generated domains ��� and the success and application of these techniques
Anomalies and candidate botnet behaviour that we've found lurking in .nz
Anything interesting or novel we've found!

Mapping NZ Internet topology

Although the topic of mapping Internet topology is not new, and several attempts have been done, in recent years the interest of mapping Internet at country level have appeared. Generally those attempts are driven by economic interest (understand the market inside a country). NZRS has put some effort on mapping the NZ Internet at the BGP and IP level, to understand their structure and shed some light into policy discussions in which InternetNZ is involved.

This presentation covers:

Methodology for mapping Internet at the BGP level: RouteViews, IX and AS relationships
A demonstration of the NZ BGP Internet map
Methodology for mapping Internet at the IP level.
NOTE: The IP Topology Map is work in progress
