nz bgp stat collection
I have been collecting bgp stats from a number of nz operators for some time, using a box located near the APE in Auckland. I am currently producing lists of unique prefixes, aggregates and ASNs in use within NZ (with some graphs showing growth), and am storing periodic snapshots of the RIB for analysis later on (e.g. for comparison with other measurements efforts elsewhere, to see how NZ is similar or different to global views of the network). If there is some interest, I could also add some looking-glass functionality, or maybe some open telnet access to the console similar to that at route-views.oregon-ix.net (assuming those that are feeding me routes are happy with that). Data is available at: http://maggie.automagic.org/ I currently have 9 BGP sessions to various operators, which includes views of all the major international transit providers (either directly or through their customers). I would like to add more, though, to make sure the picture I'm seeing is representative, and to keep it accurate in the event that individual sessions go down for some reason. All I need is a multi-hop bgp session from one of your routers to my router in the sky tower. I will never send you any prefixes; you can send me as many as you like (the more the better). If you're an operator that uses BGP to peer and obtain transit from other networks, and feel like helping, please drop me a line so we can set something up. Thanks!

56k would be marvelous. I'm 7km from the CO, and I'm lucky if I can sustain 33k6. I could describe how this feels after having spent the last year on the end of a 3M/640k ADSL circuit, 22ms RTT from Chicago, but I don't want to offend anybody's delicate sensibilities.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that. However, this brings up something that I've been thinking of... a registry or map of err... desirable locations, for people who need half-decent connections. Telecom's Web page, where you enter a phone number to get an estimate of the DSL connection speed, isn't really accurate enough, and not terribly useful overall without geographic mapping. -- Juha --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Since all kinds of people have sent me mail in concerned confusion, let me clarify: + maggie.automagic.org, the box which is collecting BGP stats, is on 10M colo in the Sky Tower (thanks to Quicksilver Internet). + I, personally, at my house in Ontario, am 7km from the CO and am battling with some kind of "absense of broadband internet options in rural areas" fiasco that I had heard previously heard vague talk of, and am now somewhat distressed to discover is real. No v.34 is involved in donating BGP sessions to maggie :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
