As of today, the APE web site has had a revamp. Those of you familiar
with the WIX site will notice some similarities!
The features that I think are useful from a day to day operational
perspective are the Looking Glasses e.g.
http://www.ape.net.nz/cgi-bin/mrlg-ape.cgihttp://www.wix.net.nz/cgi-bin/mrlg-wix.cgi
You can use these to see what routes are currently in the route servers
and the state of peering seesions.
For those of you who are keen to see what routes the route servers might
push in your direction see:
http://www.ape.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgihttp://www.wix.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi
These will show you the filter lists we apply to outbound routes. This
meta-table is the union of all the inbound filters applied to the BGP
peering sessions of exchange participants. The list showing the export
to 23754 is the same list applied to all participants.

offending list user, and should not result in complaints being
sent to the list.
10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings
from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such
warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being
unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block
postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to
be immediately announced to the list.

Hi guys, it looks like the situation with UBD had been fixed.
See Juha's article in the Herald.

siness&thesubsection=technology
Thanks to the Spamhaus guys for putting a bit of pressure on.
And also thanks for the APN guys (owners of UBD) for resolving the
issue quickly.

Hi guys - how quickly can Citilink provision a building next to their
own that has had ethernet in the past (possibly currently for other
tenants)?
If anyone from Citilink spies this email and would like to help me out
by giving me the the name of the right person to talk too, please email
back.
I would really like to have an active connection on the 6th of April so
I can do some Firewall training at our Wellington Offices on the 7th and
8th. (After the training, the connection will stay as our Internet
connection for the Wgtn office)
Cheers - Neil G

Some of you might not be aware that UBD sells its list of e-mail
addresses to local businesses who then proceed to SPAM you.
UDB sells their service as a business directory for potential clients
who might be interested in your company.
What you get instead is people buying their mailing list to sell you
stuff via SPAM. (All legally of course)
We found this out last year and asked to have our email address removed
from their list which they said they did.
Only we are still getting SPAMmed this year.
I had a discussion with them at the time and they did not see their
selling a list of e-mail addresses for the wrong purpose as an issue.
Has anybody had any dealings with them or can think of any way to
make them change their ways?
jfp.

Hi Folks,
With all the talk of "Next Generation" networks and such, I wonder,
what's the largest MTU allowed by your hardware? I have found some of my
kit incapable of even the 9k "jumbograms" as belittled here:
http://www.psc.edu/~mathis/MTU/
Who out there allows larger MTUs?
Cheers,
Jon Brewer
