adoyeehi,all [01:25]
.... (idle for 15mn)
mercutiohi [01:40]
adoyeeI can't login my VPS :( [01:41]
mercutioit got hacked?
have you tried using vnc?
[01:42]
adoyeeI can't ping it. can you help me to ping it? [01:43]
gizmoguywe have some professional pingers in the channel
but yeah, does the VNC console let you in?
[01:45]
adoyeeoh, really? I think my VPN was blocked by the fireworks [01:46]
mercutiowhat? [01:46]
gizmoguyfirewall ? [01:47]
mercutiook what is your ip
for your vps
he's in china
so if he was vpn'ing via it, then it may have randomly got blocked
[01:47]
adoyee174.136.103.90 [01:47]
gizmoguyah. yeah :/ [01:47]
mercutiowe can't ping it either [01:47]
gizmoguy100% packet loss [01:47]
mercutioso it's probably down for some reason
if you go to portal.arpnetworks.com
and login
then click on vps
[01:47]
adoyeeI have start it in portal [01:48]
mercutiothen it will tell you what your vnc server is
and what port
you don't usually need to start it, it should arleady be running
and if there is a problem it can be good to see what it thinks the problem is
[01:48]
adoyeehow I can check it?
running or not
[01:49]
mercutioby using vnc
so you went to portal ?
and it says your vnc server and port?
[01:52]
adoyeeok. I need a vnc client. [01:53]
mercutiook [01:54]
gizmoguywindows? mac? linux adoyee ? [01:55]
adoyeeI'm from China. u know, the firewall ..
mac
mac and linux
[01:55]
gizmoguyif you got a linux nearby
there should be a decent enough built in VNC client
[01:55]
adoyeeyes, and irc clients
using irc for the first time

m0undsprofessional pingers, represent! [06:41]
mercutioheh [06:41]
m0undsi think NTT is just screwy - this only happened in the last few days
i can see it from work (centurylink) as well
[06:41]
mercutiouhh it was happening months ago [06:41]
m0undsi'm talking about the thing with comcast and me
not the thing with verizon
[06:41]
mercutiooh [06:41]
m0undswell, comcast and centurylink and me [06:42]
mercutiowell whenever we talked about it last time with some of us, verizon and comast were both a bit screwy
and ntt had had some los angeles routing oddities on top of thagt
where ntt via san jose wasn't as bad as ntt via los angeles
or osmething ilke that
[06:42]
m0undsyeah, but i wasn't seeing 20+% packet loss and 200% higher latency [06:42]
mercutiooh
but there was 5% loss or something
based on time of day
[06:42]
m0undsyeah [06:42]
mercutioreoccuring [06:42]
m0undshadn't seen that in months via comcast here though [06:43]
mercutiooh ok
there was 20 msec higher latency before or something i think?
[06:43]
m0undswith the exception of that weird thing late last week, when kvr26 was experiencing tons of pkt loss [06:43]
mercutioi don't actually even remember what month this was :)
yeh that wasn't ntt's fault
[06:43]
m0undswell, it's weird - one of my addresses ordinarily pings ~30ms and is routed via LAX directly off comcast to arp
but other ones are routed to SJC via denver and ping at 50ms or so
[06:44]
mercutiohave you tried iperf? [06:44]
m0undsnah
throughput is fine - i tunnel ipv6 traffic through this vm
[06:44]
mercutioahh ok
you can figure out direction of loss
[06:45]
m0undsi'm reasonably sure it's NTT, because my CL route is NTT bidirectionally
but comcast is only NTT outbound from the vm
and the CL one has the same hop both directions
[06:45]
mercutioyeah i think it's outbound via ntt that is the issue too [06:46]
m0undsae-3.r05.lsanca03.us.bb.gin.ntt.net <- that one [06:46]
mercutiobnut that's from last time rather than testing [06:47]
m0undsright [06:47]
mercutiobah i'll see if i have any affected hosts :/
i think i didn't
oh
it's too late at night now
isn't it
[06:47]
m0undsyeah
http://i.imgur.com/zPKFrvm.png
that's on one of the low-latency IP addresses via LAX
[06:48]
mercutioso what 4 hours too late? [06:48]
m0unds7 [06:48]
mercutiooh [06:48]
m0undsstops at around midnight gmt -0700 [06:49]
mercutioit's nearly 2 am here
i should be in bed heh
but yeah means it finishes about 7 pm here
which is about when it's easy to do testing hah
[06:49]
m0undshaha [06:49]
mercutiooh it's only 5% loss
it was way worse than that what i saw?
[06:50]
m0undsyeah, i think the vz one is much worse [06:50]
mercutioahh [06:50]
m0undsspeed congestion and latency are what i'm seeing here
just coincides with the vz thing, just less severe
[06:50]
mercutioyeah it's complicated to determine impact [06:51]
m0undsusually the graph is nice and flat 24/7 [06:51]
mercutioi normalyl reckon 0.5% to 5% loss is degraded
and over 5% is severely degraded
[06:51]
m0unds29ms +/- .3ms right now [06:51]
mercutioand 20%+ loss is unusable.
but i thikn loss should be below 0.05%
[06:51]
m0undsand ordinarily it is, there's just some wonky stuff somewhere [06:52]
mercutiofor transit links etc
well i imagine comcast may be resolvable
ie they may actually take notice if you email them
whereas i think verizon is long standing dispute territory?
[06:52]
m0undsyeah, they're terrible
i've got a buddy who's an engineer w/comcast, but he's out of town. i figured if it's persisting when he gets back, i'll drop him a line
[06:53]
mercutioi doubt much will happen in a timely manner
but i've been wrong in the past
oh hey i'm seeing latency as well
http://202.49.71.24:24/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi?displaymode=n;start=2014-06-06%2019:53;end=now;target=other.comcastnet
from nz, via verizon to comcast
it's probably ntt return path
it originates from 202.49.71.24
can you traceroute from comcast back to that ip?
uhh it looks like level3
oh it's ntt forward path
ok it verizon forward path again
will see what it liketommorow

I agree - thanks for not killing the account - but I think there should've been a warning/notification

Alan,
We are currently seeing no issues on the NTT network. Please contact
your network provider to have the issue investigated further.
lol
[13:14]
m0undshaha, i guess give it 2 hours [13:15]

it went the same way
I have a modified version of the reply: http://paste.unixcube.org/k/eec77a

mercutioanis: that's not very high :/
heh
acf: i wonder where people are meant to cpomlain about these things
there's that outages mailing list but they probably won't notice
there's nanong :/
but its' not really relevant
[18:22]
m0undsi added that particularly flaky hop to my monitoring [18:24]
mercutiocould email nanong where to discuss such things?
i'd love to see some kind of proper reporting of interconnects
the only one that's around doesn't actually seem very good

mercutioerk
that doesn't sound good :)
[18:28]
brycecYes acf_ [18:28]
mercutiodoes that include gust speeds for wind? [18:29]
m0undsyeah, tornado thing is north of here - they just implicated the county albuquerque is in for whatever reason [18:29]
mercutiotonado watch doesn't mean there's tornado [18:29]
m0undsnope, but conditions are favorable [18:29]
mercutiowinds do move :) [18:29]
m0undsthey had golfball sized hail up in santa fe a bit ago (where the tornado watch is) [18:29]
mercutioouch
lots of broken windows etc?
[18:30]
m0undsno idea, someone on failbuque just said there was a lot of hail [18:30]

mercutiowhat is wind calm
haha
does that mean below 5mph or something?
so how does one get oen of these personal meter thingys
[18:39]
brycec@wiki Beaufort scale [18:40]
BryceBotBeaufort scale :: The Beaufort scale /ˈboʊfərt/ is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale, although it is a measure of wind speed and not of force in the scientific sense. History The scale was devised in 1805 by Francis Beaufort (later Rear Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort), an Irish... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort%20scale [18:40]

m0undsweather underground had a thing outlining hardware requirements for PWS data feeding
with some suggestions for vendors in the us and whatnot
[18:41]
mercutiooh it's less than 1km/h [18:41]
m0undsthere's one like 500ft from my house [18:41]
mercutioeerie still
m0unds: there's quite a few around it seems
so i imagine it's not extermely expensive

brycechttp://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/about.asp [18:42]
m0undsthat's the one right near my house
yea, my tunnel is shit slow right now so i didn't dare to try and dig around the site
haha
[18:42]
mercutioyou need to use windows? [18:43]
brycecNo? [18:43]
mercutioWeatherLink suonded windowsy [18:43]
brycecIt's self-contained, just plug in Ethernet
"The RainWise RapidFire(tm) enabled weather station doesn't need a PC to upload to us."
"WeatherBridge is an IP WiFi appliance that connects to weather stations and updates to Weather Underground real-time, providing up to the second data without the use of a PC."
etc
all non-PC
[18:43]
mercutio$1271
that's expesnive :/
[18:44]
brycecStarting at $250 tho [18:45]
mercutioyou also need to wire it up etc [18:45]
brycecsome of them http://www.ambientweather.com/amws1000wifi.html [18:45]
mercutiothe $250 are the windows ones? [18:45]
brycecNo?
http://rainwise.com/wunderground/ $139
[18:45]
mercutiooh so they are all self contained except the usb ones? [18:46]
brycec(And still no PC required)
What USB ones?
[18:46]
mercutiohttp://www.davisnet.com/weather/products/weather_product.asp?pnum=06510USB [18:46]
brycecOh you clicked on the top of the line one :p [18:46]
mercutioi googled?
you save $139
it's $1350 :/
[18:47]
m0undsi can do too many fun things with $1350 to tie it up in weather stations
unless i had interesting weather or something
but it's sunny something like 300 days a year in ABQ
[18:47]
mercutioexactly
haha
but it's windy
[18:48]
m0undswind just means it's either dusty or cold usually
(right now it's dusty)
[18:48]
mercutiohttp://www.ambientweather.com/amws1000wifi.html
so this one is good?
[18:48]
brycecm0unds: If you ran an airport, for instance, you'd care about weather details such as the $$ will get you [18:48]
mercutioairports have weather stations :/
that upload to these weather thingys
[18:49]
brycecmercutio: Yes, they buy them from somewhere... [18:49]
m0undsif i ran an airport, it'd matter [18:50]
brycec(small airports, air strips, etc) [18:50]
m0undsi live near a small civil aviation airport
DOUBLE EAGLE Ii (the second i is lowercase for some reason)
[18:50]
brycecYeah m0unds but the idea seemed to go over mercutio's head [18:50]
m0undslol [18:51]
brycecAnd mercutio I have no idea if it's "good" - I only know that it was linked from the wunderground URL I provided. [18:51]
mercutioit didn't go over my head
i just saw there were like 20 personal stations in my city
and figured that lots of them wouldn't be spending lots of money
there are two airport official ones in the city too
[18:51]
brycecAirport weather rarely matches the weather a few miles/km away [18:53]
mercutiooh?
well lots of sample sets give better ideas anyway
this city doesnt' have the same waether all over :/
[18:53]
brycecEither on account of the airport's distance away from the city, or the microclimate caused by jet engines.
(The airport here is atop a tall hill, 30 minutes away)
(for example)
[18:53]
mercutiokind of annoying when driving, because you have to turn wipers on/off/on/off [18:54]
brycecbrycec has automatic wipers :D [18:54]
mercutiothat sounds more annoying :) [18:54]
brycecI don't see how [18:54]
mercutioi find automatic cars annoying too :/
it'sk ind of disturbing when somethnng else is decding when to do stuff
[18:55]
brycecStarts raining, wipers start. Rains harder, wipers speed up to match. [18:55]
m0undsmy truck does that and the lights turn on when it gets dark too
MAGIC
[18:55]
brycec(me too) [18:56]
m0undsmagic! [18:56]
bryceclol [18:56]
mercutioheh [18:59]
m0undsi gotta go into work super early on wednesday
have to leave at 0300. bleck.
[18:59]
brycecAnd honestly, the magic wipers have come in handy in some very inclement weather; I could keep my hands on the wheel at all times (necessary) and not worry about tweaking the speed. [19:00]
m0undsSHAZAAM [19:02]
z310ouch, m0unds
What time are you going to go to bed?
[19:08]
m0undsprobably 2100 or so
get to be half asleep while i take down our recording and operator environment so a vendor can fix UPS'
[19:08]
z310and you'll wake up, i imagine, at 0200? [19:08]
m0undsyeah, something like that probably
haha
[19:09]
z310>_<
I haven't done anything like that since college
[19:09]
m0undspair of 80kVA eaton powerware units that our facility engineer decided didn't need maintenance bypasses :) [19:09]
z310oh dear [19:10]
m0undsoh cool. the air pressure differential caused the roof covering over the convention center at work to balloon up, tear, then flop down like a deflated balloon [19:19]
gizmoguym0unds: you guys probably saved a couple hundred bucks, you should say congrats to your power engineer :P [19:20]
m0undsgizmoguy: ikr
it was a $381 option for the two UPS' i specced as replacements late last year (they won't give me the money)
EVERYTHING MUST STAY UP. wait. you want money? whoa, whoa whoa. watch it.
[19:20]
gizmoguywhy are you guys even buying UPSs
they are pretty expensive
[19:22]
m0undshahaha [19:22]
gizmoguyand the maintainence of replacing batteries etc [19:22]
m0undsbusiness continuity, brah [19:22]
gizmoguyis the rest of the casino on generators? [19:23]
m0undsthat's the funny part
i think i told you about that whole lightning/flooding mess we had in july, right?
[19:23]
gizmoguyyeah [19:23]
m0undswe have N+1 gensets for the facility, total generating capacity is like 7MW
the ones (two of them) that backed our gear had no maintenance records, dead batteries, dead battery chargers, so they failed to start when we lost utility power due to the transformer exploding
[19:23]
gizmoguyrofl [19:24]
m0undsso they decided that the way to fix it was to throw more money at new UPS subsystems to keep us up longer if the gens fail to fire up [19:24]
gizmoguysee, way better off if you didn't have them :)
why don't you buy laptops for servers
[19:24]
m0undslol
YUS
[19:25]
gizmoguyI hear they have built in UPSs [19:25]
m0undsso, the old men with the big checkbooks wanted us to get new, better UPS' (which i would like, because the ones we have are 13 years old)
they have battery maintenance and stuff, but they're old and don't have maintenance bypasses >:|
so they asked me for a ballpark price range for what we wanted, so i specced 4 80kVA 9390s w/vycon flywheel frontends as an option to reduce battery wear and extended battery cabinets rated for 15 mins at full load (because that's the magic number they had in their minds)
it was gonna be something like $385k installed, with transfer switches and everything
but that was too much
but they just approved $280k for us to wire up a temporary parking lot for camera coverage and stuff while a parking garage is built :)
[19:25]
gizmoguybuy second hand
ebay probably has a lot of UPSs
[19:29]
m0undsi'd rather just buy a conex container full of 1000VA rackmount ups' and dump them in the fountain
the flywheels are neat though

m0undswell, the packet loss + latency thing is back in full force again. seeing a 30ms differential between ae10-50g.cr1.lax2.us.nlayer.net and ge0-arpnet.cust.lax07.mzima.net [20:08]
mercutiogizmo [20:08]
m0undsand 10-15% pkt loss
haha
[20:08]
acf_ok sending mail [20:08]
mercutioyou know that some people do actually advocate buying laptops for servers
worst idea ever :/
[20:08]
m0undsmercutio: you're too late, i already bought 60 at his advice
they'll be here friday
s/at/on
[20:09]
BryceBot<m0unds> mercutio: you're too lone, i already bought 60 on his advice [20:09]
m0undshahahah
lone
m0unds gives up
[20:09]
mercutiooh i tried smokeping last night
i should check it
[20:09]
acf_yep :/
http://kremvax.acfsys.net/smokeping.cgi?target=Local.unixcube
[20:10]
mercutiooh that was to comcast [20:10]
acf_yeah [20:10]
mercutioand yeah via verizon to comcast no loss
like /no/ loss
today, and loss yesterday
[20:10]
m0undsacf_: i've got a 30ms differential between ntt and comcast, and a 30ms differential between arp and nlayer [20:10]
mercutiontt vs verizon forward route
level3 return route
so yeah it's ntt's forward path that sucks most likely
arp and nlayer could be about return path too
[20:10]
m0undsjust hard to diagnose
haha
[20:11]
acf_if you look at the mtr for ARP -> Comcast [20:12]
m0undsi'm doing both now [20:12]
acf_the packet loss/latency clearly starts right between NTT and Comcast [20:12]
m0undsyeah, there's a hop w/no rdns [20:12]
acf_wow that's some sucky packet loss
the whois says Comcast
[20:12]
m0undsyup [20:12]
mercutiowell ntt aren't going to help
it soundedl ike :/
[20:13]
acf_I know. I just want to see what they say
if they'll tell me if it's peering again this time
[20:13]
mercutioneed lots of people cmoplaining really
complaining
[20:13]
acf_not even sure if that will help [20:13]
mercutioyeah might not [20:14]
acf_I'm sure they *want* to fix it [20:14]
mercutioit probably helps if you pay them money [20:14]
acf_just Comcast, etc... is being unreasonable / they're being unreasonable [20:14]
gizmoguymercutio: :D [20:14]
mercutiodid you try complaining to comcast as well? [20:14]
acf_no. I just figure I'll get the Verizon-type response [20:14]
gizmoguyI like to walk the line of ironic [20:14]
mercutiowell anyway i'm vonvinced that if the outbound path gets fixed it'll be a lot better
based on changing outbound path on my nz host: http://202.49.71.24:24/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi?target=other.comcastnet
[20:15]
m0undshttp://pastebin.com/xrywYeLq [20:15]
mercutioand it going to 0 loss
when it didn't go via ntt
it had like 4 bad days
and some in between stuff before that
[20:15]
acf_http://paste.unixcube.org/k/91504f
with visible loss
[20:16]
mercutiothat nlayer to mzima hop is return path most likely
nlayer and mzima are the same company
[20:16]
m0undsone side is arp's, if i was to bet i'd say lax07 = arp switch 07
s7.lax.arpnetworks.com
[20:17]
mercutiothat's the new server i think
and s1 is the old
s/server/router/
[20:17]
BryceBot<mercutio> that's the new router i think [20:17]
acf_I would think that lax07 would be controlled by nlayer/mzima [20:18]
m0undsjust guessing that particular hop is probably the mzima port [20:18]
acf_oh ok [20:18]
m0undscould be wrong [20:18]
acf_yeah that's almost definitely s7.lax.arpnetworks.com
it would definitely explain the packet loss
if the return path was via ntt
[20:18]
m0undsand just because it's so odd, http://pastebin.com/xABATfn9
that is on the same VM, just a different IP addr
but the path to it is completely different
haha
abq -> denver -> sjc -> lax -> arp
vs abq -> lax -> arp
[20:21]
acf_hmm strange
Comcast's paths seem to change a lot
at one point I was going through Chicago
[20:21]
mercutiowell basically up_the_irons can complain to ntt himself, or can maek exception to not wanting to route around issues. [20:22]
acf_but I'm in CA
I don't think NTT can do anything even if up_the_irons complains
[20:22]
m0undsyeah, it seems like that particular path bw comcast and ntt is hot
just oversubscribed or something
[20:22]
mercutioit's been hot in the past too
it looked like i started monitoring it in march, so i imagine it's march when we discussed last
[20:23]
m0undsat least it's not tata
tata is comcast's cesspool for traffic
[20:23]
acf_arp traffic used to go via NTT <-> TATA <-> Comcast
I think
[20:23]
m0undsit used to be nlayer both directions for me [20:24]
mercutioi wonder if routes are being advertised to level3 yet [20:24]
acf_level3 looking glass traceroute says no [20:25]
mercutioi found a comcast looking glass last night
but it was in canada
[20:25]
acf_oh cool
at least it's on their asn
[20:25]
mercutioi didn't even know that comcast was in canada [20:26]
acf_I didn't either
Verizon hasn't responded to my request for looking glass :(
[20:26]
m0undshttp://www.comcast.com/peering/ [20:28]
acf_Dear Verizon Enterprise Solutions Customer,
We have received your correspondence and forwarded it to the appropriate personnel for processing.
that's cool
[20:28]
m0undsoh, here you go
telnet://route-server.newyork.ny.ibone.comcast.net
^ looking glass
haha
oh boo
authenticated
haha
actually, rviews is the username, no pw
http://pastebin.com/H0K9vMDw
[20:31]
acf_only route is via NTT?
I don't know how to read those...
[20:37]
m0unds4436 is nlayer [20:41]
acf_oh ok I didn't look up the AS
so, only route out is via nlayer
does that mean NTT peers only one way?
that doesn't make sense
[20:42]
m0undswell, from comcast's perspective, nlayer is the preferred route to arp
which we can see when we traceroute from comcast to an arp address
[20:43]
acf_ok, right [20:44]
m0undshaha, nice, ntt is using juniper gear [20:46]
gizmoguyyeah, they use some fun load balancers too
ping ntt.net and see if you notice anything strange
[20:47]
m0undsjust saw the junos syntax in their lg when i had it show me bgp
haha, funny
dupe responses
[20:47]
gizmoguyyup [20:48]
m0undsi get why they'd only return terse output, but i think that also makes them jerks [20:49]
acf_so, Verizon and Comcast are doing the paid peering thing
and NTT is refusing to cooperate?
[20:50]
m0undscomcast makes lots of stipulations for settlement-free peering - you have to have a big network with reasonable route announcements, you have to receive as much as you send, etc [20:52]
...... (idle for 26mn)
mercutiontt are probably in that situation
ntt is tier 1 i think
they're not meant to pay
[21:18]
acf_yeah [21:18]
mercutiothink is cogent is huge
and is tier 2
[21:19]
acf_level3 payed up I think [21:19]
mercutioit gets messy [21:19]
acf_that cogent HE ipv6 peering thing is still a problem [21:19]
mercutioit doesn't erally matter if it's paid or free peering
it's whether links are congested or not
[21:19]
acf_it seems to them it matters :) [21:20]
mercutiofrom an operational rather than political pov [21:20]
acf_yeah [21:20]
mercutioi am actually pro paid peering
i just think it should be at reasonable cost
as whenever things are free people don't take them as seriously
[21:20]
acf_it seems like the idea of settlement-free peering requires that the traffic ratios be roughly equal
because both sides would be paying each other the same amount
[21:21]
mercutiowell it depends
i mean for big transit providers they should
normally sender pays
[21:22]
acf_right [21:23]
mercutioso if you transmit 200 megabit/sec and receive 100 megabit/sec
how much shuold you pay?
[21:23]
acf_50% of your transmit volume? [21:23]
mercutioand say you want to be able to send 2000 megabit/sec
and so you want to have aggregated ethernet or 10 gigabit
how much shoudl you pay
i imagine paid peering for 2 gigabit on 10 gigabit is around $1000/month or more
but i could be wrong
[21:23]
acf_that doesn't seem unreasonable
for NTT who has big bucks to spend on that sort of thing
[21:25]
mercutiobut if it is that kind of cost
than people shoudl be able to justify it
unless people want to cost it out at ilke $10,000/month
but
if you're only transmitting 200 megabit normally it's hard to justify
so say instead it's 200 megabit average, but 800 megabit peak
during the evenings
on a gigabit link
as soon as any link fails, that traffic would instead go over that link
you're screwwed
but the cost goes up generally going above 1gigabit
leaving either upgrading to 10 gigabit, or doubling up gigabit link
s
or rerouting traffic
but if the other link was only peaking at 300 megabit in evings
it might have been culled
because it wasn't worthwhile
but of course that puts more pressure on the first link
of course don't know all the details, but it's a complicated problem
[21:25]
acf_just it seems like network quality would be more important than a few dollars to NTT and the like [21:28]
mercutioand the simplest solution is to way overprovision
so if your peak traffic is over 500 megabit
[21:28]
acf_and most effective I would imagine [21:29]
mercutiothen you should have another link
if you have two gigabit links, that peak at over 1 gigabit combined, you shoudl have a third link etc
but basically the way internet changes are moving towards is make it cheaper to go for 10 gigabit
s/changes/exchanges/
[21:29]
BryceBot<mercutio> but basically the way internet exchanges are moving towards is make it cheaper to go for 10 gigabit [21:31]
acf_do the Tier 1 providers still use gigabit links at all? [21:31]
mercutiobecause that also reduces impact of ddos attacks. [21:31]
acf_for interconnect [21:31]
mercutioif it says ge in a traceroute it's one gigabit
if it says xe it's 10 gigabit
[21:32]
acf_like is NTT <-> Verizon/Comcast really gigabit? [21:32]
mercutioin juniper speaker
it's 10 gigabit i think
te is cisco 10 gigabit
[21:32]
acf_my mtrs all say ae
which is aggregated
[21:32]
mercutioae is hard to know
it's juniper aggregated ethernet
yeh
it could be either
[21:32]
acf_more likely gigabit though? [21:33]
mercutiowell it means it's at least 2 gigabit or at least 20 gigabit
hard to know
[21:33]
acf_would they have more than 10 gigabit? [21:33]
mercutiocould do
40 gigabit is common now
[21:33]
acf_wow [21:33]
mercutiowhat is he
comcast are using he and te
i imagine he is moer than 10 gigabit
[21:34]
acf_I think it's old 10 gigabit interfaces [21:34]
mercutiohttp://t1rex.blogspot.co.nz/2013/01/comcasts-100-gbps-core-network-supports.html
so comcast is shifting from 40 to 100 gigabit
with multiple links probably
[21:34]
acf_what
he- 100 Gigabit Ethernet (Cisco)
[21:35]
mercutiohmm i think denver can go la->phoenix>denver
or la->sj>denver
yeah anyway, ntt talk to comcast at 10 gigabit
or come into their netowrk at 10 gigbit
it's hard to know
[21:35]
acf_so Verizon still likely uses SONET/OC-192 for their backbone? [21:36]
mercutioarp talks to ntt at gigabit [21:36]
acf_yeah, I see that in the mtr [21:37]
mercutioverizon do internationally i'm pretty sure
i imagine they have lots of legacy gear
and it doesn't make sense to update it
[21:37]
acf_why would it make sense for Comcast and not Verizon? [21:37]
mercutiobecause comcast have national gear not international?
their network is newer/less established
[21:38]
acf_I guess [21:38]
mercutioand their users mostly talk to netflix etc :/
verizon also have slas
with regards to latency, packet loss etc.
which sonet makes it easier to maange
[21:38]
acf_but can they really stay with 10 gigabit forever? [21:38]
mercutio10 gigabit is heaps [21:39]
acf_I suppose
but as you said, other networks are going 40/100 gigabit
[21:39]
mercutiojust becasue it's 10 gigabit doesn't mean it's only one 10 gigabit
and 10 gigabit interconnects between cities are probably normally fine
comcast is the biggest provider int eh US afaik
but even in NZ there's one provider doing 100 gigabit
[21:39]
acf_because they don't suck nearly as bad as Verizon [21:40]
mercutiothe thing is how much is 100 gigabit [21:40]
acf_is it the same there? [21:40]
mercutiolike comcast seem to have 100 gigabit between san jose and denver [21:40]
acf_the dominate provider is dominate because their service doesnt suck? [21:40]
mercutioi imagine most cities are 10 gigabit though
we have this regulated deregulation system
uhh
the country sold the telephone network
then they imposed limits of them
then the telephone company split in to two companies
and one of them is wholesale and one is consumer
and the wholesale seels to the consumer
within the two split companies
and then the government is paying money to different companies to build their own fibre networks
which impact the only cable company here
the cable company bought out the third biggest provider or something
[21:41]
m0undscan't copy / paste because im on a tablet, but comcast's own ibone backbone is still relatively new, so the comparison of vz w legacy gear vs comcast's new network is an apt one [21:43]
mercutioso now there are two major companies with cellphone/broadband. [21:43]
m0undsthey used to rely on at&t for coast to coast stuff [21:44]
mercutiobut there are lots of smaller companies too
yaeh i imagine verizon has a lot of legacy cruft
didn't uunet go bust?
and was bailed out by government?
[21:44]
acf_they are verizon
now
[21:45]
mercutiothen acquired by verizon? [21:45]
acf_yep
so-2-1-0-0.DFW03-CORE-RTR1.veriz
mtr verizon.net
[21:45]
mercutiocompanies that go bust often have more legavy stuff prior :)
as there's less desire to invest in modernising
and companies that are bought
well people don't understand :)
lots of staff leave etc
management dilemas etc
it's really common to have billnig issues when companies are bought out
and billing systems always take ages to integrated
-d
[21:45]
acf_verizon seems like a giant stew of bought up telecoms
that has no desire to integrate its components
[21:46]
mercutiohaha
joy
[21:46]
acf_or do anything other than mainain the status quo [21:46]
mercutiois cox good? [21:46]
acf_and get out of the landline and dsl market
I've heard it is
[21:47]
mercutioit's just not anywhere that comcast is? [21:47]
acf_it doesn't tend to have the peering congestion we see on Comcast and Verizon
right
it's a regional monopoly thing
[21:47]
mercutiobecause it's like a drug cartel, and they can't compete.
did i show you guys the youtube video
[21:47]
acf_don't think so [21:48]

m0undshad to drop my ipv6 tunnel. congested enough that netflix was only hitting 1.5mbit/sec, haha [21:50]
acf_crap thats really not good [21:50]
m0undsyea, typically i can max out my downstream (50mbps). meh.
via the tunnel, not w netflix
[21:50]
acf_nutflix lol
right
[21:51]
mercutioheh
he does make it sound more interesting than most people
[21:52]
m0undsnetflix would do whatever their usual max bitrate is. 8-15mbit or so
there's an la weekly editorial that tears apart his whole argument
oh well. bbl.
