Made some changes today: http://www.phluxbox.com/img/i3_wkspc1_06102012.png and http://www.phluxbox.com/img/i3_wkspc2_06102012.png up_the_irons: re beta VM: thanks! my home infrastructure is all disassembled to move to new apartment, so I'll start testing on Monday when it's all rebuilt Hmm, let's some it wasn't some dipshit being ignorant and getting himself (and the rest of ARP) DDoS'd. seems fine for me my ping is like 140 which is about normal 10 msec for the adsl 130 from new zealand to los angeles. I always like to expect the worst. That way, I'm usually (hopefully) pleasantly surprised. =) it may just be your node Not sure how Garry defines "high network traffic" either. =) oh you're talking about the splits freenode is terribly unstable, it's not arp's fault. I'm referring to his Twitter status: "We are investigating high network traffic to host kvr26" oh Maybe he blocked it i'm not on kvr26 i think i'm on kvr15 and kvr27 Since an individual host can do up to 100 Mbps, though, and I assume the physical hosts have 1 GbE links, I figured it must've been a couple hundred Mbps of traffic. Physical nodes have 100 megabit I don't remember which ones I'm on, TBH. Err are in 100 megabit switch atm That's meant to change sometime soon though Oh, that's right, a 4507, IIRC. I think average utilisation is like 10 megabit or something though for a node Or even less maybe. I don't tend to find network performance problems common at all That said I was slightly disconcerted at first - until I realised that there was still gigabit transit links. Same here. I occasionally back up everything offsite and have no problems getting almost 100 Mbps out of it. I wonder what I can get I just tar everything up and then SFTP it, no problems getting nearly a full 100 Mbps from L.A. to Indianapolis. i'm installing iperf heh for some reason it's not isntalling i think mirrors.arpnetworks.com is down It's responding to ping. or just going slow just slow i think ... and HTTP. =) Heh, /pub points back to / http://mirrors.arpnetworks.com/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/pub/ i notice that too Who is on the lowest numbered kvr? :) also the ubuntu/debian etc directories hmm i asked for that jlg :) cos otherwise the normal urls for /pub/OpenBSD etc don't work I think one of mine are on 04 but not certain w/o checking. Heh, one of our customers asked me to look into an issue on their network... all their routing is asymmetrical. That's pretty low! They have two upstreams... all traffic is coming in one and going out the other. my ipv6 is being weird i think IPv6 is fine here. oh it's what i'm connecting to i think And normal pings. Definitely not experiencing anything on kvr02. And 10 seems fine as well. He mentioned kvr26 but then said ~12 mins ago that it "subsided". Ah. Sorry, should've mentioned that do you have to do something special to make iperf work with ipv6? ssh is working ... and $customer is sending advertisements of RFC1918 space to one upstream. *sigh* :( Cogent, so they probably aren't even filtering them out, heh. -V 74.2 megabit from new zealand 70.3 megabit from los angeles TCP or UDP? tcp single connection Not bad at all. i'll compare this other los angeles host that's on gigabit 6.51megabit oh maybe both those tests were los angeles before i'm getting 5.29 to arp now yeh it's 70 megabit both times i'm using ipv6 though i suppose i could try with ipv4 about the same nz speeds can kind of suck but that upload seems slow still maybe there really is dos activity it'd prob be incoming i'm also using emulated netowrk
