jm|laptophi
I have the super-basic "small" VPS plan
is my speed limited?
I'm trying to download a dataset from my VPS to here - and it seems really throttled to like 1M
[18:35]
***amdprophet has joined #arpnetworks [18:39]
mnathanijm [18:40]
jm|laptopiperf seems to bear it out :/ [18:40]
mnathanijm|laptop: where is "here"
VPS should be able to hit around 100mbit
[18:40]
jm|laptophere is my home fibre dual-xDSL [18:41]
mnathanieast coast? west coast? europe? asia? [18:41]
jm|laptopoh. UK [18:42]
mnathanik [18:42]
jm|laptopicmp_req=1 ttl=44 time=166 ms [18:42]
mnathaniv4 or v6? [18:43]
jm|laptopboth / either
scp ipv6 and http ipv4 to prove it wasn't ssh overhead
and iperf ipv4
it just stalled again >.<
[18:44]
mnathanitry the arpnetworks speed test which is on gigabit: http://arpnetworks.com/100mb.bin [18:46]
jm|laptopthat's coming at like 251K/s
although I still have my other scp going on
jm|laptop mtrs
no obvious loss, slows down cross-Atlantic
so I have a colo in Manchester pulling 1.7M from that .bin, ramhost London pulls ~500K
ramhost down to 120K now
I wonder if this is a peering thing
[18:47]
CaZemoar routes [18:53]
mercutiocould be
or transit thing
[18:54]
jm|laptopseems to go myISP > L3 LON > L3 NYC > nlayer > us.pktxchng > mzima
who is nlayer?
[18:55]
mercutionlayer is fine
check other direction
some of the any2ix peers can be kind of slow with transit back
atrato i've noticed be slow before for example
[18:55]
jm|laptopmzima > big pause > nlayer > L3 LA > L3 SJ > LA NYC x3 > L3 LON > myISP
it really bounces around L3 :S
[18:56]
mercutiothat really should be fine unless your isp has congestion at level 3 [18:57]
jm|laptop18 level3.restless.thn.aaisp.net.uk (195.50.95.67) 145.879 ms 146.302 ms 146.025 ms

[18:57]

[18:58]
mercutioit does that here on another route not to arp from a uk vps [18:58]
jm|laptopI guess its sub-Atlantic node :) [18:58]
mercutiowith like two dead hops between london and newyork
you have the same mpls exit path thingy where new york shows high ping like london
[18:58]
jm|laptop150ms ? [18:59]
mercutioyeh it's the same on london and new york though
rather than showing the latency from london to new york
you're not using openbsd or something are you?
[18:59]
jm|laptop..... where? [19:01]
mercutioopenbsd's tcp/ip stack can be kind of bad for perfomrance transatlanttic [19:01]
jm|laptopmy router runs OpenBSD [19:01]
mercutiotakes longer to ramp up only seems to increase window size with scaling
router doens't matter
it's only end point
[19:01]
jm|laptopthen no, Debian [19:02]
mercutioyeah debian defaults should be fine even [19:02]
jm|laptopso ARP /doesn't/ throttle? [19:02]
mercutionah it doesn't throttle
and level3 usually has good speeds
unless someone doesn't buy enough level 3 transit or such
[19:02]
jm|laptopjust coincidence that my monitor is showing almost /exactly/ 1M :) [19:03]
mercutioyou're at like 150 msec altency? [19:03]
jm|laptopI'm not at liberty to disclose my altency [19:03]
mercutiowell guessing that [19:04]
jm|laptop3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 166.583/167.351/167.918/0.735 ms
[19:04]
mercutioyour window size would be about 160k [19:04]
***heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer
[19:04]
mercutiowhich isn't generally a size anything will cap at [19:04]
jm|laptopwhen my scp finishes I might try another iperf [19:04]
mercutioohh
it's not old scp is it?
[19:05]
jm|laptopno [19:05]
mercutiook [19:05]
jm|laptopand I tried http also! (see above) [19:05]
mercutiossh used to have window size issues
ahh ok
well assuming you have more than 128mb ram
[19:05]
jm|laptop[02:44] <jm|laptop> scp ipv6 and http ipv4 to prove it wasn't ssh overhead [19:05]
mercutiolinux should pick big enough tcp window size
ipv6 was the same?
[19:05]
jm|laptopyup
scp is ipv6
[19:05]
mercutiook that's really bizzare
i've often found ipv6 and ipv4 give completely diff performance
sometimes one is like twice as fast as the other
[19:06]
jm|laptopdoesn't make a lot of sense [19:06]
mercutioyeah [19:06]
jm|laptopunless the whole ipv6 topology is different
which doesn't make a lot of sense
[19:06]
mercutiooh it is often i think
i dunno
i even reproduced that with the same provider being used for ipv4 and ipv6
it may just be load balancing tkaing diff path
[19:06]
jm|laptopwere they cheap? [19:07]
mercutiosuppose?
i dunno
[19:07]
jm|laptopmaybe the employed a different ipv6 gateway [19:07]
mercutiowell arp dose
does
[19:07]
jm|laptops/different/less congested/ [19:07]
mercutioi can't remember which was faster
sometimes people don't shape ipv6 properly etc too
and shape ipv4
[19:07]
jm|laptophm
722141184 98% 407.45kB/s 0:00:29
[19:08]
mercutiook i need to try again :) [19:08]
jm|laptophmm that's weirder still [19:09]
mercutioweird both are going slow atm [19:09]
jm|laptopI had two scp making that 1M [19:09]
mercutiodude i'm getting terrible speeds compared to normal from this host too
it's a friends connection but it usually does faster
[19:09]
jm|laptopand one has finished so I expected other to take 'spare' bandwidth
but it's 500k
wtf
587956224 80% 385.63kB/s 0:06:10
like something is making 500K per connection :S
[19:09]
mercutioi got 647k/sec with ipv6 and 509k/sec with ipv4
for a 10 mb file
with my normal provider getting 2267k/sec average
130 msec ping
versus 138 msec on the slow
[19:10]
jm|laptop[ 3] 0.0-10.2 sec 7.12 MBytes 5.83 Mbits/sec

and that's with any2ix peer
[19:11]
jm|laptop(and my values include wireless overhead to the laptop) [19:12]
mercutioit's prob this stupid upstream :/ [19:12]
jm|laptopoh well [19:12]
mercutiowireless doesn't really slow things down unless you're far away [19:12]
jm|laptoppart1 of my dataset is here so I can grok it [19:12]
mercutiooh there's packet loss to last hop that's really weird [19:12]
jm|laptopthanks for clarifications :) [19:13]
mercutiowell it can limit you, but doesn't slow down unless you're past bandwidth and it's giving high pings locally
basically
[19:13]
jm|laptopwait what?
how can I check my bandwidth limit?
[19:13]
***_mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks [19:14]
mercutioi meant on wireless
like if your wirelss can do 20 megabit
[19:14]
jm|laptopoh [19:14]
mercutioand you're pushing 25 megabit it'll slow it down to 20 megabit [19:14]
jm|laptopI have 5GHz N [19:14]
mercutiobut if you're pushing 5 megabit then it'll be same speed on wireless and ethernet
it doesn't tend to give loss
it can, but usually bandwidth is heavily reduced before that
pings spike etc
[19:14]
jm|laptop[ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 126 MBytes 106 Mbits/sec
not bad for wireless :)
[19:15]
mercutioyeah
so shouldn't be an issue cos you have dual dsl
oh
how does your dual dsl work?
[19:15]
jm|laptopI pull about 50M from my dual xdsl [19:15]
mercutiodo you have to do multiple connections to max it out?
or is it bonding?
[19:15]
jm|laptopbondage [19:15]
mercutiocool
mlpppp :)
[19:15]
jm|laptopnth packet downstream [19:16]
mercutiooh [19:16]
jm|laptopno [19:16]
mercutiothat's better
so it doesn't split each packet half between each
does that give out of order issues?
[19:16]
jm|laptopaiui it balances based on latency from LCP data
yes; but TCP/IP is designed to deal with that :)
[19:16]
mercutioerr
tcp/ip sucks with out of orer :)
perfomrance wise
it's more designed to cope
than deals well with :)
[19:17]
jm|laptopworksforme dot com [19:17]
mercutioheh [19:17]
jm|laptopif I had a more expensive router at this end I could handle it better
but obsd router doesn't do too bad a job
[19:17]
mercutioi'm surprised it looks at lcp data
i wanted to play with bonding some day
i was trying to think up novel ways to do it better
[19:18]
jm|laptopmy ISP is pretty switched on with this stuff
I get per second graphing and stuff
[19:18]
mercutioany idea how they're doing it?
i was playing with ppp compression a while back
it works fine until you get packet drops
and it seems to make more sense on upstream than downstream for adsl
[19:18]
jm|laptopthey made their own router [19:19]
mercutiooh wow
ok that's good to know
i didn't think anything was doing those kinds of smarts normally
[19:19]
jm|laptophttp://wiki.aa.org.uk/index.php/FireBrick
http://www.firebrick.co.uk/products_2700.php this
http://www.firebrick.co.uk/ or indeed this :'/
[19:20]
mercutiooh
i read something on this site before
about some special ppp server i think
[19:21]
jm|laptopwhich part of the PPP sever?
it's not that clever :/
[19:21]
mercutioTo bond downlink on DSL lines you need the ISP to send traffic down multiple lines. The FB6202 LNS can do this on multiple L2TP links with per link speed controls. Bonding downlink does not need anything at the receiving end as the packets simply arrive on one of multiple simple broadband routers and go on to the LAN. It is obviously a good idea to use an FB2700 at the customer end to also bond uplink
though.
it's not acutally specific to the termination device

[19:21]
mercutiobut the sending ppp
Because bonding works on a per-packet basis, even a single session can make use of multiple lines. However, it is worth bearing in mind that whilst IP does not guarantee packet order, most TCP stacks will have trouble if you bond more than about 4 lines or if the lines are very different latency.
[19:21]
jm|laptopthat's multihoming [19:22]
mercutionah that's bonding dsl [19:22]
jm|laptopthe former
re: the latter, I only have two :)
[19:22]
mercutioit's both under bonding
yeh
but it does out of order a bit
ok
[19:23]
jm|laptopand the latency is pretty much similar because it comes to my house on the same 6-string drop :) [19:23]
mercutioit's actually really easy for it to be different
if lacp etc is being used
[19:23]
jm|laptopyup
again: wfm.com
[19:24]
mercutioit'll matter less for big packets though [19:24]
jm|laptopI have poor-mans bonding at this end
an Alix
mpath routing
[19:24]
mercutioanyway, i'd try a udp test [19:24]
jm|laptopwhence? [19:24]
mercutioiperf -u [19:24]
jm|laptopwhence? [19:24]
mercutiowhich'll tell you if there' any packet loss
and it'll tell you how much is out of order
if there's loss it's prob reason it's going slow
[19:24]

[ 3] WARNING: did not receive ack of last datagram after 10 tries.
[19:25]
mercutioif there's no loss and no out of order your isp may be doing something weird with tcp/ip traffic
you need iperf -s -u on server
iperf -c -b 2m
on client
where client uploads to server
well 1mbit is fine too

mercutioyou can use -i 1 as well on server to list per second
hmm
[19:26]
jm|laptophmm indeed :) [19:26]
mercutiomaybe try -l 512
on both
to send smaller packets
and i think it's -t 30 to do 30 second test

[19:27]
mercutiothat seems fine
hmmm
[19:27]
jm|laptopI know: except for the speed :) [19:28]
mercutiothat's cos you have -1m
-b 1m
try -b2m
[19:28]
jm|laptophm [19:28]
mercutioudp sends at fixed speed
but generally speaking if udp is fine at low speeds without loss then the link is going ok
[19:28]

something really only wants 1Mb/s :)
[19:28]
mercutio-b 2m
on the client
[19:29]
jm|laptopI did that [19:29]
mercutiooh
are you sending from your dsl to arp?
you have to do arp to dsl
[19:29]
jm|laptop$ iperf -u -l 512 -b2m -c arp [19:29]
mercutioyeh do it other way around
cos client sends to server
[19:29]
jm|laptophow? I have NAT?
JUST KIDDING
[19:29]
mercutioport forward? [19:29]
jm|laptopmy ISP is better than that :) [19:29]
mercutioyou have /64 ? [19:29]
jm|laptopI have /26 and /48 actually [19:30]
mercutioyou can do ipv6 with iperf but you need to set -V
and if you have differnt default udp return addresss than incoming address you need to bind on the server
to the incoming address
-B <ip> i think it is
it seems much more complicated when desciribing it
[19:30]

something somewhere really seems to be restricting me to 1M :)
anyway: off to research my dataset
thanks for your time mercutio :)
