Initially those transit providers and ISPs that do offer IPv6 transit
will be able to charge for this service as it will be a premium value
add. However I can't see this business model being able to last for
more than 6 years (through to 2012), and possibly only three years.
After this point in time I expect IPv6 deployment will be standard, and
will no longer be a premium service offering - it will be the standard
offering, like IPv4 is today. Once IPv4 has become exhausted and you
can't actually give a customer an IPv4 address then you definitely wont
be able to charge more for IPv6 - otherwise the customer will walk.
So do providers start implementing slowly now, and recoup some of their
investment while they can, or wait till they are forced to do the
upgrades and are not able to recoup any of their "new" investment.
Rhetorical question.

Hi all,
I've published a document trying to analyze the IPv4 exhaustion problem and
what is ahead of us, considering among others, changes in policies.
http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=news/newsroom&id=3004
I guess this could be useful in order to understand possible implications of
modifying existing policies, or setting up new ones, or even just to create
some debate about those changes.
The document was completed last April, but didn't had the time to tidy up
until a few days ago.
Regards,
Jordi

Hi,
Thanks to the post forwarded onto the list by Andy Linton I have been
inspired to get in touch with the SixXS guys and arange a local SixXS
pop within New Zealand.
The nzwlg01 pop runs within the ACSData network ( still known in places
as LinuxNet or ACSOnline ). We run our ipv6 network on the same routers,
switches and circuits as our IPv4 network, we v6 peer at WIX and APE and
use the same international transit provider as for our ipv4 network.
It would be great if some people would sign up and make some use of it,
if there are any network issues ( or you want a peering session etc. )
feel free to get in touch directly with me or noc(a)acsdata.co.nz.

Hi all,
Through our own stupidity we were inadvertently blocking a recent
allocation from APNIC and thought I'd mention it here.
We had a bogon list with 112.0.0.0/5 in it and misread it as /8 several
times before growing a brain and sorting it out. Just thought I'd
mention it so folks can recheck their bogon lists to ensure that the
following aren't being stopped by a larger aggregation.
116/8 APNIC
117/8 APNIC
118/8 APNIC
119/8 APNIC
120/8 APNIC
Cheers,
Gerard

Some weeks ago I started to work in documenting how to setup 6to4 and Teredo
relays/servers in several platforms for the afripv6-discuss mailing list.
There are many 6to4 relays already, but it becomes even more important to
have them where the bandwidth is more expensive, because it avoids traffic
going thru upstream links. The first message on this is here:
https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2007/000061.html
More information about 6to4 also available at:
http://www.ipv6tf.org/index.php?page=using/connectivity/6to4
Similarly for Teredo:

Hi All
As you may have read in the papers in the last few days or so, Epitiro has
launched a service in NZ which measures the broadband performance of NZ's 5
largest DSL ISPs in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch ie Xtra, TCL,
Callplus, ihug and Orcon.
Our methodology is quite comprehensive; we connect up to the premium service
of each ISP and then run tests every 15 minutes, to measure, among other
things, connection speed, time to connect, DNS response times, cached and
un-cached http traffic performance, ping times etc etc. The data provides an
interesting look at the performance of the ISPs' service; from DSLAM to
peering exchange and beyond. All major ISPs in the UK use our service.
What we are keen to do - once we have about a month or so of data - is to
conduct analysis on this data, to help us understand what the various
combinations of variable fluctuations mean in the NZ context. While we have
a lot of experience in the UK, the NZ network topography is very different,
so we are looking for some local expertise to help us.
Anyone interested? For the few months or so it's probably going to be more
love than money, although I am hoping to create a position in the near
future, or at least have some budget to pay for casual contracting.
This is a unique opportunity to see data of this nature in NZ for the first
time. However, the potentially controversial nature of the data means any
involvement in this project will have to be strictly governed by
confidentiality agreements, threats of immolation etc.
If you're interested, drop me an email, and we could either catch up for a
coffee if you are in Auckland, or have a chat on the phone if you are
elsewhere. If you want more information about us, check out the URL below.
Thanks and regards

Hello all,
Has anybody seen or heard of any further development of this:
http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/EA57668828E0FEEFCC2572AC0070D766
Basically Telecom saying they would establish 29 regional points of
interconnection, where providers could interconnect with them.
The article mentions paying for a circuit into Telecom's network, with
them reciprocating a circuit back (in the case of an ethernet
interconnect, does this mean paying half each?).
I am also wondering if any of these "regional points of interconnection"
will be at the existing IXs, and in which case it doesn't seem that
either Telecom or the other provider should have to pay anything for
interconnect.
What's the current word on the street? Has anybody engaged Telecom over
this, or know what stage they are at?
On another note, it seems funny that I am almost scared to post to nznog
these days given the recent 'moderation by the people' ;).
Regards,
Anton
Right.
Now that the subject matter has got your attention..
FX Networks (http://www.fx.net.nz/) has a position available for a
junior/medium level systems administrator with some experience in
looking after Debian Linux systems. Ideally they should have experience
with Asterisk (or an enthusiasm for it), and a willingness to learn
Cisco Networking technology. Perl hacking is also good.
This person should not be afraid of customer interaction and working in
a small tight team that has fun. Natural talent in dealing with the
killer white rabbit of Caerbannog and the knights who say neh! is also a
plus. I should also mention beer to keep it OT. Oh, and Wellington as
well.
Now I shall don my flame proof suit to deal with the slings and arrows
of those who've taken it upon themselves to become defacto moderators of
this fine list. For those of you moderately interested, drop me a line.
thanks!
jamie
