At first glance it seemed that ARP had engaged in this newfangled Twitter thing with a hashtag on the front page, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was actually an IRC channel. haha irc had # first. I think they took it from IRC most people don't know what irc are these days yeah we own the # do the kvm nodes emulate cirrus logic video? looks like they do hmm (that's what mine says - it's a pretty common default for kvm/qemu) up_the_irons: I'm still getting terrible IPv6 throughput from my native IPv6 connection, while speedtests show 85 Mbps. Any thoughts? 73 Mbps to a speedtest in San Jose. But 440 Kbps via SCP to matthoran.com. mhoran: ipv6 connection from arp? I have native IPv6 at home, to my ARP VPS. what ISP? Time Warner. ah. Comcast here, also with native IPv6 Nice. do you know if it's a congested ISP link? ie, packet loss to ARP I don't see any packet loss, just low throughput. I pretty much have an open SSH connection to my server 24/7 and I never really have a problem with it, just when I try to transfer data over v6. do you have a traceroute you'd be willing to share? Looks like it takes HE.net most of the way, though Inever had a problem with my HE.net tunnel. mhoran: try a udp test maybe? hm. I'm pretty sure HE <-> ARP is okay Hmm. -6 -O /dev/null http://ec2.acfsys.net/videos/comme_un_enfant.webm acf_: https://gist.github.com/mhoran/ef24133f089cfa996d74 Gist: "https://gist.github.com/ef24133f089cfa996d74" i'll see what my ipv6 thrroughput is like wget^ that's an HE tunnel to Amazon AWS Getting faster and faster. Almost 80 Mbps. Around the same latency on a traceroute to that EC2 host. hmm how do you go to ipv6 address with iperf i'm putting it in square brakcets and it's not working Hmm. I'm not sure. i'm doing the -V to set ipv6 too meh i'll make a name did you escape the square brackets? Route to that EC2 host hits the same exit node from Time Warner, so I don't think that's what's overloaded, or where the problem is. traceroute back to you: http://paste.unixcube.org/k/9873d0 i'm getting 8 to 10 megabit well i tried ' and "' that's sending from arp now i'll test receiving to arp 10 megabit send i'm hitting he.net in palo alto through to arp it seems and ntt back from arp mercutio: this is your native ipv6? this is native ipv6 at both ends yes. openbsd to openbsd root@phoenix:/home/acf# wget -6 -O /dev/null http://www.arpnetworks.com/100mb.bin 8.08MB/s from Comcast bah iperf udp mode is binding to a diff address Yeah I get < 100KB/s from here. Same as my VPS. Compared to wget -4 which reaches 7 MB/s. So something on HE.net between NYC and LAX is terrible. But Seattle is fine. i'm getting 0% packet loss with udp oh i got 1 packet out of 8494 dropped i'mg etting shit loads of packet dsropps uploading udp from arp hmm 80% + packet loss at 4 megabit and 0% at 1 megabit i have the ipv4 udp limit lifted on my vps i dunno if it's separate for ipv6, but even that is at 5 megabit by default i thik... there is a limit on IPv6? not sure are you going via NYC also? ohn it may be ip i am using willi switch to a diff ip yeah 10 megabit is fine on other ip not via nyc, via palo alto for me oh this address is he.net both directions so yeah it may be he.net have difficulties in some locations. hmm i have a vm in uk with ipv6 i think that should be via new york mhoran: wget -6 -O /dev/null http://\[2605:2700:0:5::4713:9574\]/100mb.bin another IPv6 endpoint on HE in LAX Speedy! blodoy hell it's vultr and it wants me to use router discovery i'll try another one Not incrediblyspeedy, but 5 times faster. 500Kb/s instead of 100. Still not great ... how different are the traceroutes? my other uk host gets 2.7mb/sec over arp ipv6 to that odwnlaod file. Quite different actually. https://gist.github.com/mhoran/89125af09f10232223a5 Gist: "https://gist.github.com/89125af09f10232223a5" http://ipv6.uk.meh.net.nz/testfile.zip what do you guys get to that? from arp i'm only geting 100k/sec but that host downloads fast from arp Just under 7 MB/s. hmm Pretty good to that one. oh wow :) mercutio: does that go to arp via NTT? nope ok good. return path is NTT.. http://pastebin.com/vmNF2SYK heh you can see return path is ntt from hop 6 :) but also, traceroute works with ipv6 automatically on linux now how long has this been going on for? I only switched to native about 6 months ago but things got unbearably slow maybe a month ago. oh :/ have we confirmed that it's likely HE? their NOC is fantastic... Sure seems it. I'll send a support ticket tomorrow if up_the_irons doesn't notice this. But it's bed time for me now. i really should switch ipv6 on at home again
