Hi, As of 10:45am this morning the last router (HNCR1) was turned off, and by 11:45am NZIX (as far as University of Waikato is concerned) has been fully dismantled. As most providers most providers have stopped peering with NZIX late last year, I thought it would be worth making note that as of this morning, NZIX is now part of New Zealand internet's history books, and is no longer in existence.

Everybody should turn off all their routers for a minute, as a mark of resepect. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
I don't think John ever set foot in that router, we had long since banished him from ops by then, I was lucky enough to install it. It was one of the two (HNBR1 and HNCR1) that ran for over a year and a half without a reload. It had only a minor outage when the NZIX coax T-joint disconnected itself under the floor tiles, honestly ... it wasn't my fault. Them were the glory days ... New Zealand's routing table in IGRP (no not EIGRP), 24 routers connected via Coax and a 1.5Mbps Frame Relay link to the US.
