mercutio: that google mtu thing gets stranger, even ip's of google caches have strangely small packets
looks like 1454 mtu

acf_: routing weirdness
http://paste.unixcube.org/k/f7eaf
mercutio: savvis suck
slashdot is using savvis and has huge pings too
and doesn't show anything weird in traceroute from arp other than huge ping
so i imagine savvis just have messed up peering with qwest.net as shown in your trace
and peer with them in london
acf_: funny because Qwest and Savvis are both CenturyLink
mercutio: i didn't know that
acf_: just played with the PCCW and Savvis looking glasses
looks like they peer in LAX
mercutio: oh
oh that wasn't your normal connection
acf_: that was from arp
*to arp
mercutio: it's 160 msec to slashdot.org which is hosted in chicago
(from arp)
acf_: yea probably by London
mercutio: yeah
but it looks like it's los angeles to chicago :/
acf_: forward path from ARP probably is
the return path is screwed up
mercutio: ping jumps from 1 msec average to 156 msec average
in single hop
yeah
it has been for ages
but it's savvis -> qest -> pccw -> trit
acf_: the qwest -> pccw is in London...
mercutio: does the looking glass show any paths?
acf_: I didn't look at bgp
mercutio: the savvis -> qest is in london too isn't it?
oh maybe not
acf_: it is
cr2-ten-0-7-4-0.londonuk1.savvis.net
...
63-235-40-189.dia.static.qwest.net
mercutio: i don't think level3, and ntt have amazingly close connections with savvis
i think cogent/comcast/etc are closer
acf_: that kind of explains it
the funny part is that pccw and savvis peer in LA
mercutio: that would mean savvis carrying traffic to la
acf_: I tried the Savvis lg traceroute from LA...
same thing
mercutio: oh
i'm just trying that now heh
acf_: LA -> London -> LA :P
but tracing to 63.218.212.14 (hop 9 in the trace to ARP)
goes directly via LA
mercutio: uhh
NTT have direct connection
like forward path to slashdot
is AS2914 AS3561
acf_: so it should be going via NTT instead of savvis?
mercutio: yeah
but i'm struglging to use bgp
ipv4 unicast is what i want?
it's not coming up with anything
acf_: idk anything about bgp
mercutio: i know i hate savvis's looking glass :)
telnet://route-server.savvis.net
damn it's not working
acf_: that would have been really nice..
mercutio: yes
most of the looking glasses are really slow
acf_: can you explain why when tracing directly to 63.218.212.14 from the Savvis lg, the path goes via lax
(1.419 ms)
mercutio: i dunno what that ip is
acf_: but when you trace arpnetworks.com, the hop 63.218.212.14 has a latecny of
mercutio: oh it's pccw
i just did traceroute from pccw looking glass and saw that ip
it's 0 msec from pccw to arp
we kin dof need to see what routes they see
acf_: 143.880 ms
hmm ok
mercutio: what it's not seeing arp at all?
atlanta quickly finds no routes
los angeles slowly doesn't seem to do anything
acf_: % Network not in table
:/
mercutio: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nanog-/MLWLu1NQZpI
so it's been broken for years
acf_: ah ok
mercutio: but yeah i assume savvis don't send to ntt because pccw are cheaper than ntt to send to?
maybe pccw are customer
acf_: it's still super strange that it would be going via london imo
mercutio: yeah good luck getting it fixed :)
-: acf_ facepalms
acf_: the Savvis NOC mailbox is full...
I was trying to ask them about their looking glass / route server
mercutio: haha
well if it was broken in 2011
i imagine they don't care much
acf_: it's always fun to listen to NSPs tell me stright up that their crap is broken
and that they're not going to fix it
https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption
wonder why the green line is so squiggly
the interesting thing is
on the very last datapoint, "6to4/Teredo" is 0.00%
rather than the 0.01 and 0.02 it's been throughout 2013 and 2014
I wonder if that's related to the broken PTMUD problem
mercutio: yeah that is strange
it maybe that they're trying stuff on/off a lot
to measure performance

mnathani: how do ip address allocations work when you colocate? For instance if I have an ASA firewall and get assigned say a /29. Does the WAN interface of the firewall have to have a different /30 assigned? Allowing the entire /29 to be used for hosts, VMs etc?
mercutio: there's more than one way people do stuff
you can get a /29 routed to you over your normal ip address, or you can have just the /29
if you have just the /29 you'll usually have 5 ip addresses to play with
err
that was a generic response
with arp dedicated server i have a /29 and just the /29
mnathani: I guess I am curious how that setup works when you have multiple devices, rather than a physical server
cable comes in > connects to firewall > one port for physical web server, another for physical mail server, another for physical DNS server, all running on their own public IP address.
I would thing they would point to the firewall for their default gateway
s/thing/think
BryceBot: <mnathani> I would think they would point to the firewall for their default gateway
mnathani: but what happens on the uplink interface of the firewall, does it use a different address block, say part of a /30?
mercutio: mnathani: fwiw i have a /32 for adsl, with a routed /29 at home
the internal lan interface on modem is on the /29
ppp makes it easy to have a /32 though
but from my understanding, people using hardware firewalls now days often have 3 ip addresses for firewalls, and it bridges
one for each firewall, and one for master ip
because having a firewall decreases your reliablity, and people who want to spend money on firewalls tend to want to spend money on redundancy
there's actually lots of ways of doing things
i kind of like routed /32s myself.
BryceBot: That's what she said!!
mercutio: where you just route internet ip's onto rfc1918 address space.
so your gateway can be rfc1918 even
but you're bound to an internal ip
err bound to an internet ip
for programs that need it
so like your webserver maybe on 192.168.6.20, your mail server on 192.168.6.21
your internet ip 4.1.1.1
your mail 4.1.1.2
and you route 4.1.1.1 to 192.168.6.20
and add 4.1.1.1 as a seconday interface on 192.168.6.20
and you set programs to bind to that ip that need it
which also means you cna do fancy things like have the ip's bounce between hosts.
and have a vpn to access 192.168.6.0/24
the other thing is that you can do /31s more often now too
and so you could link using /31 to wan
but it tends to kill the odd/even low/high thing
