very little yes
wish there was a compelling reason to use v6
heh
there isn't
faster, more secure, no NAT even / maybe
it's slower
and firewalls often don't support it as well yet
and there are islands, right cogent / he
islands?
portions that are not connected to other portions
i think everyone can talk to everyone
single home to he.net cant talk to cogent I thought
and vice versa
oh i idn't know that
not sure if it is still the case
but http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/10/22/peering-disputes-migrate-to-ipv6/

TWITTER: seriously @CogentCo and @henet, when are you guys going to #ipv6 peer?  You are breaking my IPv6 BGP. it's freaking 2014 already! (Sun Jun 22 04:09:39 +0000 2014)

nabamlol
oh
cogent and he.net both have bad reputations
cogent I know for having budget IP transit - oversubscribed links etc
he.net - how so?
I thought he.net was a leader in IPv6 with their tunnelbroker and IPv6 certification etc
their ipv4 transit is kind of mediocre
like they congested real bad to europe when new york had that flooding
from what I've seen recently, HE seems to be one of the few transit providers that has congestion-free paths to Verizon and Comcast actually
and they have a few weird routing hiccups within the uS
cool.
i haven't done my dns lookup thing yet
i just have to find something that acn do a million lookups
and setup a dns resolver for it
cos a million requests might seem a bit dodgy through a normal one :)
yeah that's a lot
alexa top million web sites
so i can try and figure out if comcast, verizon etc host web sites no it
oh, I see
i'm sure there's a good parallel dns lookup thing somewhere
you want samples for your smokeping?
i saw one in go
i thought a plain c one would be better though
yeah
go is a actually pretty fast
cos i don't really like relying on icmp
unbound actually has a recursor library that can host it's own dns
but i found it slow when i used it
i think it was called libunbound
if you just want a few websites on Verizon and Comcast
https://www.robtex.com/route/205.150.0.0-16.html
like http://www.vrra.ca/
oh cool
https://www.robtex.com/as/as701.html
list of all the blocks announced by as701
you can click them to get a list of hostnames
www.kwic.com looks like good example
except it looks like it's lagging
oh it's in canada
yeah
I think that block is in canada
Origin AS:           813
omg
lamest isp ever :)
Make Kwic Internet Your Homepage
(IE 5 or higher)
10 hours dialup for $9.95
512kb wireless lite with 256kb upload for $39.95/month
that's great
it has two peers
Verizon and Verizon
iSpeed Non-PPOE Commercial Access (call for information)
haha
i'm getting packet lsos to there
me too from arp
idk about other places
from nz i meant
which has forward route of verizon
ah
oh it's worse from arp :/
cool it still peers in los angeles
probably as good a test as any
http://www.kwic.com/pics/supportimage.JPG
5k :(
is shtml static html?
I think it's dynamically generated
that's why i wanted image
but the image is oknly 5k
http://www.vrra.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GrandBend-2FINAL.jpg
405k
both seem to take the same path
damn that slow
no loss from Amazon ec2 also
100%[======================================>] 414,490      574K/s   in 0.7s
from Amazon
it's 1 sec from arp
http://paste.unixcube.org/k/7ed5
oh it is
2.2 seconds from nz, 4.9 from sydney
have a bigger one
ok anyway, it should do hope they don't mind us using their bw :)
http://www.vrra.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1-050.jpg
is it a personal web site or an isp?
it's the website for the "vintage road racing association"
hosted on that isp you found
*by
ahh
they may have bw limits
100%[======================================>] 1,614,719    928KB/s   in 1.7s
doesn't seem too bad
i'd hate to have the web site hit some limit
yeah
I'll look for some more
and yeah damn it slow
i think it's probably windows :/
which doesn't have as good ramping up on tcp on high latency connections
oh its' apache
php 5.2.9
so like 5 year old linux?
i think it's probably centos 5 with linux 2.6.18
hm
difficult to find anything single homed to Verizon
yeh
ugh, freenode makes my head hurt
up_the_irons: can I pay in advance?
Guest34975: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/billing/is-there-a-discount-for-paying-in-advance
guest, everyone always pays at the beginning of the month, until the end of the month, and pro rata to the beginning of the next month when they sign up.
oh that kind of thing
argh i'm a guest, what happened
oh i didn't realise there was a discount for paying in advance that's kidn of cool.
the Guest says to the other Guest lol
I dont want a discount
I just want to pay for it for as long as I can see myself using it (at least a year)
but ok
that works :D
will arrange for this next week
also can I upload a .vmd or .qcow2 or something with my own os
oh cool
I forgot about this
http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/re-install-or-change-os
I have just one thing to say to that
and it has absolutely nothing to do with this nor is it meaningful
so i'm just gonna shut the hell up before I piss somebody off
I wish I had done gentoo
I can just build my stage3 locally and recompress it then upload it
yes I think I will start that
heh
did everyone disconnect from freenode earlier?
fn shit the bed, yeah
services dropped too
it looked like 4 hours ago and 4 and a half hours ago
so seemed more major
