-: up_the_irons has never heard of CactiEZ; he googles
up_the_irons: oh, cacti in a box
mattx86: yeah, nice thing to have around for a quick install
ultimately, I ended up using 'mtr' from the CLI of my desktop ;)
I wish cacti would show packet loss... because, from what I can tell, it doesn't
at least in CactiEZ
(slightly older version of cacti in it)
btw, you can pause 'mtr' by typing 'pa' while its running, but apparently, you can't resume it? I dunno
IPv6Freely: cacti shows whatever youve configured for it to show
mattx86: works well enough for my purposes though
I suppose I could take a look at the graph template for Unix - Ping Latency or what not, but that seems messy
IPv6Freely: You could configure cacti to use a custom script that uses, say mtr, to show packet loss in a graph
cacti is just a pretty frontend for MRTG, which can literally graph anything you throw at it
mattx86: yeah
IPv6Freely: I'm sure there are a done of people using Cacti/MRTG with ip sla
mattx86: see, the plan was to graph bandwidth usage in addition to latency and packet loss, to determine to source of the issue on my ADSL
IPv6Freely: ton*
anyway, bed time. long day of qos tomorrow
mattx86: but using mtr, and past issues after a storm, I've determined the issue to be water in the line somewhere
sounds like fun heh
qos can be a pain, I know :(
IPv6Freely: not so much. deciphering a client's cryptic 6500 configuration and rewriting it for JUNOS and NX-OS. Yay.
mattx86: seems interesting, none-the-less
good luck
IPv6Freely: thanks. ttyl
mattx86: alrighty, later man

awyeah: Woot! My apartment is now fully ipv6 enabled, including wifi. Took a while to get that right.
Plus, there's a nice little script to update he.net's endpoint address for me, in case my IP addr changes.
coil_: oh sweet
did you make that script
awyeah: nah I found it on their help site
***: ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks
mattx86: awyeah: you might even do a pptp tunnel to he.net, if that's doable over there
then you dont need a script :)
awyeah: true, but that's a PITA
also, my address hasn't changed in a year
I can't get my damn XP box to get the router advertisement messages.
RandalSchwartz: awyeah - why didn't you just get the v4 tunnel option?
then it doesn't matter
it Just WOrks
I'm using it on my laptop, for example
awyeah: well I have my BSD box here running the tunnel and routing the IPv6 stuff
RandalSchwartz: sure...
and?
awyeah: My Windows 7 box gets its IP address automatically
same with my printer.
but not XP, no sir.
RandalSchwartz: and?
so far, sounds like you NEED a fixed address
the v4 tunnel would do that
awyeah: no this is an internal issue with my network ;)
RandalSchwartz: so you just ignore the address the ISP gives you
and?
I'm still not seeing the problem
in fact, it'd fix most problems
***: ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang)
RandalSchwartz: your bsd box gets a random addr from the ISP
it then sets up the ipv4 tunnel with he.net
that's a fixed address
awyeah: nono, this isn't related to that.
RandalSchwartz: it can nat everything behind it
you brought it up
so I figured it's related
awyeah: I know, but that part is all set ;)
This is just... Windows XP isn't getting autoconfigured by rtadvd.
RandalSchwartz: ... <awyeah> Plus, there's a nice little script to update he.net's endpoint address - for me, in case my IP addr changes.
I'm fixing that for you
awyeah: yeh ;)
RandalSchwartz: if you don't want that fixed, then I'll stop
the v4 tunnel fixes it
and you get a v6 tunnel on that
and your ISP would have to do deep-deep packet inspection instead of deep packet inspection :)
as in, they can't throttle default ports
since all your traffic goes to he.net
awyeah: haha true
RandalSchwartz: what is the origin of your nick?
awyeah: I was like 13 when I made it up ;)_
"awwww yeah"
RandalSchwartz: ok
awyeah: heh. it was my original AOL username waaaaaay back.
RandalSchwartz: I signed up for merlyn with the original Apple community
it got merged into AOL
and the problem is, they didn't recognize me as the same person when I signed up for AOL later
but I said "darn it, I'm the *real* merlyn"
hence, I use "realmerlyn" everywhere "merlyn" is already taken now.
awyeah: heh
RandalSchwartz: like AIM, Yahoo, Gtalk, etc
when I can get merlyn, I prefer that
so I watch techcrunch for all the new social websites
and the moment I see one, I pounce on it to get merlyn
awyeah: yeh

mhoran: Hahaha.
awyeah: oh.
So Symantec Endpoint Protection blocks all IPv6 stuff by default.
Stupid IT-mandated software.
Only took me 3 hours to figure tha tout.

IPv6Freely: time for an emergency dd: http://twitpic.com/2g2ra8
Sheath: broke the connector?
IPv6Freely: yep
Sheath: ouch
why did you do that
IPv6Freely: i jammed a small piece of plastic in there to make the cable stay, and taped it on for good measure
i didnt want to uncable my case from the back side because its all so tight, so i just yanked on the drive. would have been fine if the sata cable had been straight, but it was one of those right-angle ones
so it snapped the little l-shaped piece of plastic off the drive
Sheath: ouch
IPv6Freely: i was gonna try the whole dump/restore method, which seemed to be working except i wasnt sure how to dump / because it dumped everything recursively (including partitions /var, /usr, etc)
so i said to hell with it, its not like the drive is actually going bad, i can wait for a dd to finish
