For the presentation I'm building for the next SwniNOG meeting, I'm
trying to find old Internet connectivity maps from back in 2000.
Unfortunately Google has failed to provide me with the source to that data.
I'm specifically looking for some from Sunrise and Nextra that that era.
If someone still has them in their archive folder, please unicast them
to me, to not spoil the "fun".
Thanks
Thomas
Since the beginning of March, we seem to have been having trouble
sending SMS'es via this service-number - judging from the phone-bill,
the connection IS established, but then times out after 64 seconds and
no message is sent. Has anyone else been having such problems?

Dear all,
as most of you probably know, ACTA (the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade
Agreement") which is currently being negotiated is (despite its name)
likely to seriously impact the internet.
For example, from the draft text that has been published in April [1],
we see that a provision has been suggested that would require
participating countries to give their courts the authority to issue
an "interlocutory injunction ... against an intermediary whose
services are being used by a third party to infringe an intellectual
property right."
[1] https://www.ige.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/Juristische_Infos/e/acta_text_for_…
In other words, if this suggested text becomes international law, it
implies that copyright holders can get injunctions against ISPs to
prevent the illegal distribution of their content via the ISP's
networks.
The draft Agreement even explicitly requires the participating
countries to make the "enforcement procedures" so that they "permit
effective action" against copyright infringement that takes place
via the internet.
At the last round of negotiations (which took place in New Zealand in
April) a group of activists and InternetNZ (a large provider)
organised a parallel event "PublicACTA" in the same venue as the ACTA
negotiations, with the purpose to inform the public and elicit
discussions, see http://publicacta.org.nz
Apparantly this event was a big success.
They're suggesting that what they did could be continued with an event
in a similar spirit here in Switzerland where the next round of
negotations is planned to take place (probably in Geneva, sometime in
June, we don't know the exact date yet).
Who would be willing to help organize and/or contribute funding to
such an event?
Greetings,
Norbert

Has anyone been collecting data points related to service providers in
Switzerland providing IPv6 services? I'm trying to pull together a slide
on the growth of v6 services in the country.
Hence I'm looking for the following information (if available):
- First commercial v6 transit service (any carrier with a POP in CH)
- First commercial v6 service to customers (enterprise or end user)
- First commercial 6RD DSL service over BBCS
- First commercial 6RD DSL service over unbundled copper
- First commercial native v6 DSL service over BBCS
- First commercial native v6 DSL service over unbundled copper
If anyone also has a data on the usage of v6 (vs. v4) in Switzerland I
would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Thomas
DENOG 2 - Call for Participation and Papers
The second meeting of the German Network Operators Group (DENOG) will be
held in Frankfurt, Germany on the 4th of November 2010. We are pleased
to hereby invite applications for presentations or lightning talks to be
held at this event.
General Information
===================
DENOG is a community for professionals within Germany who are operating,
designing or researching the Internet. It provides a technical forum
where those working on, with and for the Internet can come together to
solve problems with every aspect of their (net)work.
The meeting is designed to provide an opportunity for the exchange of
information among network operators, engineers, researchers and other
professionals close to the network community.
More information about DENOG (in German) can be found at
http://www2.denog.de/
Information about the meeting will be published at
http://www.denog.de/.
Meeting Countdown
=================
What When
------------------------------------------------------
Publication of Call for Papers May 11th, 2010
Deadline for all submissions August 15th, 2010
Beginning of Registration Period August 16th, 2010
Publication of final programme September 6th, 2010
Deadline for receipt of final slides October 24th, 2010
Meeting Day November 4th, 2010
Topics for Presentations/Talks
==============================
The day will be divided into several sessions. The number and length of
presentations per session is not fixed, although due to time constraints
we would prefer the length of the presentations to be between 10 to 30
minutes.
However proposals for longer/shorter presentations or presentations
whose subject falls outside of the topics below are also welcome; please
do not hesitate to submit them.
Lightning Talks
---------------
In addition to the topics mentioned below we will reserve slots for
lightning talks, which consist of a few slides and will not last longer
than 5 minutes. Lightning talks can be submitted until October 29th,
with the deadline for submission of the corresponding slides being
November 3rd.
Topic #1: Power Efficiency in Networks
---------------------------------------
For operators of networks and data centres of any size power efficiency
has become more important. Servers and network gear with high power
consumption are expensive because of high operating and cooling power
costs; also in many places supplying more power into the location is no
longer possible. How are you dealing with power problems in your
environment? How do you efficiently cool a rack/a room/a datacenter? Can
a migration to VoIP help you save power?
Topic #2: Social Networks, Cloud Services and Information Security
------------------------------------------------------------------
Social Networks are an essential working tool for networkers and cloud
services are also becoming increasingly popular. The security of your
information and data in these networks is a crucial aspect which we want
to discuss in this session.
Topic #3: Network Neutrality
----------------------------
In the US, Network Neutrality has been a subject of controversy and
debate. Is an ISP allowed to sell "Internet access" which only offers
access to a subset of the whole Internet? Is an ISP allowed to
prioritise video streams from Company A while imposing a higher delay to
video streams from Company B?
In Germany Network Neutrality is mainly an issue for mobile networks and
not extensively discussed thus far. But what kind of problems will an
upcoming debate on Network Neutrality bring to German ISPs and is there
a good way to address these problems?
Topic #4: Peering
------------------
Everything about your peering experience. Why are you doing it? How are
you doing it? Have you written any useful tools which others might find
interesting?
Topic #5: ISP BOF
-----------------
"All things ISP". From Network/SLA Management (for or against it), abuse
handling and log systems to data centre layout and planning (including
power and cooling), everything that is interesting to you as an ISP can
be presented or discussed within this topic.
Language of Slides and Talks
============================
To appeal to an international audience we ask you to produce your slides
in English, but the spoken language of the presentation itself can be
either German or English.
Submission Guidelines
=====================
All submissions must have a strong technical bias and must not be solely
promotional for your employer.
Please remember that your presentations should be suitable for a target
audience of technicians from varied backgrounds, working for companies
whose sizes may vary considerably.
To submit a proposal for a presentation, we request that you provide the
following information as plain text or PDF format to
<denog-pc(a)denog.de>:
* the name of the presenter (and if applicable your affiliation)
* a working email address
* the name and number of the topic which will contain the presentation
* the title of the presentation
* its expected length (in minutes)
* the preferred spoken language for the presentation
* a short abstract of the presentation (not more than 200 words)
We also welcome suggestions for specific presentations which you feel
would be valuable to the DENOG community.
Please be aware that your presentation will be published on the DENOG
website after the event.
Best regards and see you all in Berne,
Arnold, on behalf of the DENOG Programme Committee

we've noticed that those customers are using astaro-firewalls.
heise is already reporting...
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Fehlerhaftes-IPS-Update-legt-Astaro-…
i suspect DNS inspection problems (yesterday last root-server went DNSSEC).
probably more issues will come up since all root-servers are now DNSSEC? i dont know ,-)
just for you to know, if customers are calling in...
