tigerpawarpnetworks guy in? [14:07]
RandalSchwartzmaybe something we can help with? [14:07]
tigerpawi was trying to remember the 2 providers i was considering a couple of months ago, as i'm finally ready to get a vps
just wanted to make sure i went with the right one
one of them is a company, the other is a 1 man sho
show
[14:08]
RandalSchwartzthis is a company.
I've been happy with them
[14:08]
tigerpawwhich one does garry run? [14:08]
RandalSchwartzYou mean Garry Dolley? [14:09]
tigerpawnot sure what the person's last name is
but it's based in so cal iirc
[14:09]
RandalSchwartzthere's a Garry here. Might be your guy. [14:09]
tigerpawdoes he run arpnetworks? [14:09]
RandalSchwartzyes [14:09]
tigerpawok then yea that's the one. i'm gonna support him [14:10]
RandalSchwartzas far as i can tell
I have had 5 VPS here for over 16 monhts
very happy
[14:10]
tigerpawnice!
what do you think of that summer special?
768 MB 20 GB 400 GB $25 $20
i only need the 10$/mo account
but this gives me almost 4x more of everything for twice as much coin
[14:11]
RandalSchwartzI have one of those as one of my five
the rest are all bigger.
[14:12]
tigerpawnice [14:13]
RandalSchwartzspending about $250/month of my money and my client's money here. [14:13]
tigerpawnow i've already decided to sign up with arp, so really just a curiosity, but can you think of any negative points of arp from your expeirence?
nice
[14:13]
RandalSchwartzthe most negative thing is that you'll be spoiled.
you'll expect this kind of price/performance when you go somewhere else. :)
and nothing else is like that
[14:14]
tigerpawthat's seriously the only bad thing you can think of? :P [14:14]
RandalSchwartzalso keep in mind that "official" support is available, but minimal.
you should be someone who can manage your boxes entirely on your own
or by asking here in channel for our help
Garry only gets involved when someone has to actually punch your box differently
that's why you get a VNC console and a mounted boot DVD.
[14:15]
tigerpawyea sure, i and my admin know fbsd
since 2.2.7 myself
[14:16]
RandalSchwartzall 5 of my boxes are ZFS for /
with snapshots throughout the day.
and for some of them, we're shipping using zfs send/recv to a remote site for catastrophe backup
[14:16]
tigerpawnice set up
btw i see fbsd 8.2 isn't offered
[14:17]
***heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks

[14:17]
RandalSchwartzit is... I have it mounted already
garry just needs to update the website
[14:17]
tigerpawoh
nice
how's your experience been with 8.2?
[14:17]
RandalSchwartznon-eventful. it Just Works.
putting ZFS for root is easier on 8.2 than on 8.1
[14:17]
tigerpawnice [14:18]
RandalSchwartzno need to copy extra bootloaders. :) [14:18]
tigerpaware those 5 ips all usable? or are some gateway etc
in the powerup
tigerpaw hasn't drank CIDR in about 5 years :P
[14:20]
RandalSchwartzyou get 1 external IP in the base price
you can pay more to get more
a /30 = 1 address
a /29 = 5 addresses
a /28 = 13 addresses
if you go above /28, you need a big pile of paperwork
[14:21]
tigerpawyea, that must be usable
another 3 burned for the overhead
cause /29 is actually 8 iirc
[14:22]
RandalSchwartzsure. 5 + network + broadcast + router [14:23]
tigerpawyep
ill definitely want the /29
1 dedicated to server admin/ssh with everything else shut down, 4 others for web
[14:23]
RandalSchwartzyou need 4 ssl?
because otherwise, most people just use name-based domains now
[14:24]
tigerpawyea i know, but i have a few totally separate projects that i want to keep that way [14:25]
RandalSchwartzsingle IP, distinguished by the "host:" header, which everyone sends these days [14:25]
tigerpawnot good to mix midget porn and monster truck ralleys yanno
yea, http 1.1 thx
[14:25]
RandalSchwartzI bought a /28 just to have a few for spare experiments in case it gets a lot harder later. :) [14:26]
tigerpawnice [14:27]
RandalSchwartz, what kind of management features does arp give? is there a customer extranet where you can view real time bandwidth flows, etc? [14:32]
OliproRandalSchwartz: an IPv4 address is 32 bits long [14:36]
RandalSchwartzOlipro - Yes, I know.
Why would you think I don't know that? :)
[14:36]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz got a /28 back when I offered /28's to everyone; now I am more restrictive as IP resources become more scarce [14:37]
RandalSchwartztigerpaw - you can request some sort of cacti datagrams [14:37]
up_the_irons;) [14:37]
RandalSchwartzahh - we have woken the man himself [14:37]
OliproRandalSchwartz: so a /30 gives you 4 addresses (assuming it's not on a boundary where one of the possible addresses is 0 or 255) [14:37]
up_the_ironscisco has a command, 'ip subnet-zero' or something like that, that let's you use the '0' one :) [14:38]
RandalSchwartzOlipro - no it doesn't
the all 0's and all 1's are (almost) always reserved no matter what the network mask is
so looking at the bottom two bits of a /30:
[14:39]
Oliproif you give someone 10.0.0.48/30 then that person has 10.0.0.48 through to 10.0.0.51 available to them [14:40]
RandalSchwartz00 - network number
01 - router
10 - machine
11 - broadcast
so you get *one* usable address
Olipro - I'm going to stop arguing with you now, since you aren't listening.
if you give someone 10.0.0.48/30, then 10.0.0.48 is the network number, 10.0.0.49 is the router, 10.0.0.50 is the machine (one useful address), and 10.0.0.51 is the broadcast addr
and *now* I will stop
[14:40]
***heavysixer has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [14:45]
OliproRandalSchwartz: ah ok, a routed subnet
gotcha
[14:46]
RandalSchwartzwhat did you THINK we were talking about?
RandalSchwartz sighs
[14:47]
***homosaur has joined #arpnetworks [14:47]
Oliproa single host in a larger subnet [14:47]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: if the /30 was routed over another point-to-point address, instead of assigned to a VLAN, it *is* then possible to use more IPs. The gateway would be free'd and the network number technically _could_ be used if the TCP/IP stack supports it. i think only the broadcast has to stay reserved. [14:55]
***heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer
[14:55]
RandalSchwartzcorrect. but not a traditional /30. :)
can you route v4 like we're doing with v6?
no - wait, v4 doesn't have link-local addrs
although you could burn a couple rfc-1918 for that, probably
[14:56]
plettIf all the devices on the subnet agree about how the addresses are to be used, there's no reason to reserve the network and broadcast addresses. Using a /31 on an ethernet segment to join two machines together is fine if they both understand it. [14:57]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: you can route v4 like v6 but typically v4 routes over some public /30. so point-to-point links burn a /30. v6 does away with this by using link-local
plett: would you need static arp entries in that case?
[15:08]
***vapor has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
vapor has joined #arpnetworks
[15:10]
plettup_the_irons: You shouldn't need them. ARP sits on top of ethernet and doesn't know about the size of the subnet you're using [15:12]
up_the_ironsplett: where would IP broadcasts go then (not ARP broadcasts) ? Are they simply not used? [15:13]
plettYes, they just don't exist. That's one of the things that the machines on the subnet would all have to agree about. [15:15]
up_the_ironsah ok [15:16]
plettI've only seen it used "in the wild" with /31s for point-to-point links over ethernet, but there's no real reason why it couldn't work on larger subnets too [15:17]
***Tadaka has quit IRC (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep) [15:24]
plettup_the_irons: On Linux, ifconfig takes a "-broadcast" flag which disables the use of the broadcast address on that interface (and therefore disables IP broadcasts completely). I think the network address is already safe for use as a regular address without any changes. [15:24]
RandalSchwartzplett - no such flag on freebsd
there's a broadcast arg, to specify the broadcast
so that's definitely a non-standard interpretation of the RFCs
[15:32]
plettOh yes, it's definitely non-standard. But lots of equipment does support it. I've used it between a Cisco router and a Linux box in the past
But now we have IPv6, and subnets are big enough that nobody will notice the fact that two addresses on each subnet aren't available for use
[15:35]
up_the_ironsFreeBSD TCP/IP stack is a lot more standard than Linux. I've seen some very peculiar's quirks on Linux that I haven't seen on FreeBSD.
plett: v6 doesn't use broadcast addresses :)
[15:38]
RandalSchwartzgiven that BSD's stack derives from *the* standard stack, it's not surprising. [15:38]
up_the_ironsit's all NDP [15:39]
plettup_the_irons: Okay, I rephrase that - nobody (by which I mean me!) will notice that broadcast addresses don't even exist any more :) [15:39]
