ITB Status Report

Spring AI3 Meeting

19-21 June 2003

Tokyo, Japan

Observatorium Bosscha

• One and the only star observatorium in South East Asia, currently run by Astronomy Dept, ITB

• Stationed at Lembang, West Java, about 6 km North from Bandung

• Website : http://www.bosscha.itb.ac.id

Live Observation at Bosscha

• The use of Internet Technology for (near) real-time sky object observation

• Input – CCD camera attached to the telescope

• Output– Live streaming video using RealPlayer– Periodic Image capture using Webcam Apps

• Audience can watch live observation directly from their computer!

Live Observation at Bosscha (cont’d)

• Conducted at May 7th 2003, observing Mercury Transit (Mercury will pass through the sun, so looks visible from Earth)

• Done with portable telescope, with CCD camera attached

• CCD camera output is splitted in two direction by video splitter– For RealProducer, creating Streaming Media files– For Webcam apps (Durgem,

http://durgem.sourceforge.net), creating periodic (30 sec) image capture

Live Observation at Bosscha (cont’d)

• Bosscha is connected to ITB using 802.11b Wireless Link

• Audience can watch video stream and image capture in website http://bosscha-live.ai3.itb.ac.id

• Two video stream created : – 56 kbps for Internet audience– 384 kbps for ITB audience (LAN)

Responses about Live Observation at Bosscha

• Public Announcement about live observation was made in public mailing list and newspaper

• Responses was high at websites : see http://stats.cnrglab.itb.ac.id/bosscha-live.ai3.itb.ac.id/

Results

• Cloudy weather makes hard to get good pictures of the Mercury Transit

• Thanks to the Durgem, 15 picture out of 300 picture captures the Transit

• Astronomers is very delighted about the results

• Planned to do live observation in late August, observing Mars at Perihelion (nearest distance to Earth)

IPv6 @ ITB

• Campus-wide IPv6 Deployment @ ITB

• Dual-stack services– Email server– Web server– DNS server– FTP server– SSH and Telnet (remote login)

Campus-wide IPv6 Deployment• Problem :

– Campus Backbone is not IPv6-compliant• Cisco Catalyst 6500 Sup1A/MSFC1• Cisco only released IPv6 on Sup2 and Sup720

• Solutions :– One PC router (IPv6 w/ Zebra routing

daemon) on each Catalyst– Each router is connected via IPv6 tunnel– Router connects subnets on each Catalyst

using VLAN trunk 802.1q

Dual-stack Services

• DNS server– ns1.itb.ac.id/ns2.itb.ac.id now resolve IPv6

address

• Email server– MX.itb.ac.id has IPv6 address, with postfix

(IPv6-patched)

• Web server– ITB official website (http://www.itb.ac.id) has

IPv6 address

Computer Specification :

Processor : Intel Pentium III 730 MHz 128 MB RAM

OS : FreeBSD 3.5-RELEASE

Software : BIND 9.22

DNS Handling

• ns1.itb.ac.id- Handling transfer zone between itb.ac.id domain and The

Internet- Organizing domain *.itb.ac.id name server delegation

• ns2.itb.ac.id- Master & secondary name server for domain *.itb.ac.id- Master & secondary name server for 167.205.0.0/16 reversed

• ns3.itb.ac.id- Master & secondary name server for domain *.itb.ac.id- Master & secondary name server for 167.205.0.0/16 reversed

IPv6 DNS Server

• ITB use AAAA addressing, not A6 addressing

• ITB does not have its reverse for ipv6, [hopefully, we will get as soon as possible]

• ITB use ip6.arpa addressing on reverse, not ip6.int

• There are not specific domain for ipv6. if 1 server has ipv6, hostname has 2 ip (or more), ipv6 & ipv4

Load

• Traffic in ns2.itb.ac.id

• DNS traffic in ai3-indonesia-ether.itb.ac.id

DNS traffic is shown in blue color, it’s not significant if it’s compared with other traffics

Known Problems

• ITB could not resolved some other domains.

solution : DNS administrator in both domain (ITB domain and the troubled domain) would make zone transfer manually between ns1.itb.ac.id and their name server

• Delegated name server down for a longtime, thus delegated domain disappeared from The Internet

solution : ITB DNS Administrator would take off its delegation and use ns2/ns3 for primary name server of

its domain
