up_the_ironsLT: kvr08 NIC bounced a few times b/c of a stp bpdu guard (error in our fw leaked bpdu's)
but that was like an hour or more ago
[03:30]
LTwould have been 2 hours ago, so that's probably it
any reason you use bpdu guard rather than bpdu filter on those ports?
[03:33]
up_the_ironsLT: if there's a potential loop, i want the port to go down instead of melt the switch
up_the_irons calls it a night
[03:47]
LTjust didn't think it was very likely for the server itself to be a loop... [03:50]

mohaslanhi, does arpnetworks have an option like softlayer's global ip? [16:49]
RandalSchwartz"global ip"? [16:55]
brycecWhat's "global ip?" [16:56]
RandalSchwartza description, or a url with a description, would help me. :) [16:56]
mercutioanycast [16:56]
RandalSchwartzmaybe he's talking about a CDN [16:56]
mercutioi imagine [16:56]
brycec(a.k.a. their website is slow to load)
http://blog.softlayer.com/2012/global-ip-addresses-what-are-they-and-how-do-they-work/
[16:56]
RandalSchwartzyou could always use cloudflare for free :) [16:57]
mercutiostatic routing
ok this global ip isn't as cool as i thought it was
[16:57]
brycecmohaslan: Seeing as ARP Networks only has one datacenter, there's no point in "global ip" (a.k.a. Anycast)
(if that's what it is)
[16:57]
RandalSchwartz... https://www.cloudflare.com/overview [16:58]
mercutioit's not anycast brycec
arp already do it
from their description
[16:58]
RandalSchwartzbottom plan is free - https://www.cloudflare.com/plans [16:58]
brycecbrycec stands corrected [16:58]
mercutioyou can move ip's between multiple vm's.
because each user has their own vlan
RandalSchwartz: nooooo
RandalSchwartz: don't tell people to use cloudflare, it slows down the internet
[16:58]
staticsafewat [16:59]
RandalSchwartzthe *whole* internet? :) [16:59]
mercutiowell sites that move [16:59]
staticsafethats a broad statement [16:59]
mercutioi'm like why's this site started slowing down
do a trace... cloudflare...
oh god damnit! not again
[16:59]
staticsafei don't notice anything on cloudflare sites? [16:59]
mercutiomaybe you have a better cdn host for your area or something [17:00]
staticsafeyes I'm in Toronto
there better be good CDNs here
[17:00]
bryceclol [17:00]
mercutioheh [17:00]
brycecYeah, NZ gets crap when it comes to CDN's [17:00]
mercutiocachefly is good here
nz get's some cdn's.
but push cdn's are better than pull cdn's.
[17:00]
brycecThen again, NZ gets crap compared to other parts of the world :p [17:00]
mercutioin general
well NZ gets good speeds to san jose and los angeles normally at least
cloudflare has added a sydney node
i dunno if that'll help or make things worse
[17:00]
brycecAnyhow, back to the question at hand. I don't think it's what mercutio was getting at either. Global IP is targeted at those that want to have an IP address and point it at any machine in any DC. And again, since ARP has just the one DC, it's not an issue mohaslan [17:02]
mohaslansorry, I missed the part ;) [17:02]
brycec(And SoftLayer could have explained it much, much clearer IMHO) [17:03]
mercutiobrycec: they wanted to make it sound fancy [17:03]
brycecYeah... [17:03]
staticsafeENTERPRISE [17:03]
mercutiomy dsl ip is global :/ [17:03]
mohaslanI am not looking for something across different datacenters, a simple solution in the datacenter is sufficient, you can say something more like elastic ip [17:03]
mercutioi can login in different cities and it'll stay the sae [17:03]
staticsafeIP Failover?
VRRP?
[17:03]
mercutiomohaslan: elastic?
portable ip :/
[17:03]
brycecmohaslan: When you become a customer, you get your own network (it's a VLAN @ the DC level) that has a /30 pointed at it. All your VM's live in that VLAN, and you can assign the IP to any VM you want. [17:04]
mercutioanyway, i'm not sure how arp works exactly with multiple ip's. [17:04]
brycecmercutio: "Elastic IP" is an AWS term [17:04]
mercutiobrycec: aws?
awstats?
[17:05]
brycecAmazon.com/aws
or aws.amazon.com
[17:05]
mercutiooh i don't like amazon [17:05]
bryceclol [17:05]
mercutioso sorry if i don't know their buzzwords. [17:05]
brycecI was going to say - you kiwis are seeeeriously out of touch if you don't know about AWS [17:05]
mercutioi had a friend with an instance
i kept telling him it was shit
and he should move off it
he kept saying how cheap it was
[17:05]
brycecbrycec waits for the punchline [17:06]
mercutioi'm like "it's not normal behaviour that when you do a batch job of mysql queries you can't run top because the load has skyrockted" [17:06]
mohaslanbrycec: thanks. I got it now :) [17:06]
mercutioso he gets a 3x as expensive plan or something
because apparently amazon severely throttle disk i/o on smaller plans
and it's "better"
[17:06]
brycecheh, well you're not "supposed" to run MySQL in your instance. You're "supposed" to use an RDS (their hosted MySQL) [17:06]
mercutiobut it's expensive and it's still no better than a normal vps.
yeh
i think that's what he wnated to do "at some stage"
it was also laggy
and slow and blah
[17:06]
brycecAlso, Amazon does have some serious disk IO issues across all instances (they recently introduced some "guaranteed IOPS" plans though) [17:07]
mercutiobrycec: well this was acceptable for a $3/month plan or something
but it wasn't a $3/month plan
[17:07]
brycecI tried using an instance as a VPS for awhile (you get the first year of a "micro" instance free), but that's not what it's designed for [17:08]
mercutioi dunno why he's so keen on amazon
i checked out joyent the other day
[17:08]
brycecAWS instances are meant to be ephemeral, provisioned on the fly and torn-down when done. They're not "long term servers" [17:08]
staticsafe^ [17:09]
mercutiothey do linux but you can't get a console
and i'm like what?!
disk performance was real good
[17:09]
brycecMy EBS disks would frequently toast itself, and I'd have to reinstall :( [17:09]
mercutiootherwise seemed average.
it's in oakland apparently
wherever that is :/
but ping is ok from here
[17:09]
brycecmercutio: California, North of Los Angeles [17:09]
mercutiook [17:10]
brycec(Right next to San Francisco)
(but I don't know how much US geography you know... so I related it to ARP and LA)
[17:10]
mercutioheh
i know more than i used to
the other day i was wondering where that place that new fb dc was is
[17:10]
brycecWell good for you [17:11]
mercutioiowa.
but generally you hear about some places way more than others
[17:11]
brycecMiddle of the country, middle of nowhere too.
Quite true.
[17:11]
mercutiowlel i never hear about iowa
but i know where san jose and los angeles are
[17:11]
brycecI suspect 1/3 of the US population doesn't really know where Iowa is. [17:11]
mercutioheh
is it part of the bible belt?
[17:11]
brycec(and of that 1/3, half are in Iowa already *rimshot*)
A bit west of it
[17:12]
mercutioby kansas? [17:12]
brycecIowa is under "dwes" http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_383FujfEbkY/S9VzXNnGRXI/AAAAAAAAAV4/WxT-jgyAlYw/s1600/usa_bible_belt.png [17:13]
mercutiobah
by chicago
wow
i didn't realise the bible belt was so big
[17:13]
brycec(and I was wrong, North, not West of the belt) [17:13]
mercutioi was thinking east when you said west anyway i think
i dunno :/
[17:13]
brycec(I visualize the belt as running North-South... I was wrong) [17:14]
mercutiois flordia part of the bible belt? [17:14]
brycecmercutio: only a bit of it... By and large, no.
(That graphic is generous, I'd say)
[17:14]
mercutioahh ok [17:14]
brycecOnly the pan-handle of Florida would be considered bible-belt [17:14]
mercutioi did google iowa [17:14]
brycec(or whatever the top piece of FL is called) [17:15]
mercutiothere were semi-naked runners for some university fundraiser or something
seemed small-townish :/
if that's like one of the news items
[17:15]
brycecyou're not wrong
Iowa is 95% farm-land, known for growing corn.
[17:15]
mercutiooh [17:15]
staticsafewait is Iowa the American heartland? [17:16]
brycecgeographically? I guess [17:16]
mercutiowow [17:17]
RandalSchwartzNew Orleans is American liverland [17:17]
mercutiothis place is freezing [17:17]
brycecbrycec is not a fan of Iowa, for the record. [17:17]
RandalSchwartzJames T. Kirk is from Iowa. He only *works* in space. [17:17]
brycec^^ Iowa's only redeeming characteristic. [17:17]
staticsafehah [17:17]
brycecThey have a party or something every year for his bday too [17:18]
