[07:24] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [07:43] no she said they were running up until a month ago [07:43] not that I expect her to really know anything [07:58] *** awyeah has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [07:58] packet loss again [07:59] *** milki has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [08:00] *** jpalmer has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [08:00] *** KDE_Perry has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [08:00] yeah, not just me i guess [08:00] haha [08:01] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [08:01] *** KDE_Perry has joined #arpnetworks [08:01] *** mkb has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [08:01] *** awyeah has joined #arpnetworks [08:06] *** milki has joined #arpnetworks [08:12] *** mkb has joined #arpnetworks [08:19] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [08:35] *** mnathani_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [08:36] *** mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks [09:56] *** jpalmer has joined #arpnetworks [13:16] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [13:20] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Changing host) [13:20] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [13:35] that was lot pf people that left at once 5 hours ago [13:35] or so [13:36] i wonder if they were all using ipv6 [13:44] i was getting awful packet loss on both v6 and v4 [13:45] i wonder if it's that same annoying thing that was happening last week [13:47] well my graphs are fine :/ [13:48] but my route goes over any2ix [13:48] mine is via level3 [13:48] i've been dreaming about making a ping thingy [13:48] the plot is starting to come together [13:49] finding good hosts to monitor is the complex part [13:50] nothing's sticking out as terrible on hte monitoring that's on arp's network [13:52] i think my test hosts don't really test level3 well though [13:52] this packet loss stuff seems to start at approximately the same time each day it occurs [13:53] at like 6 hours ago? [13:53] yea, around there [13:53] i updated my smokeping with my newer targets list at least. [13:53] happens between 0830-0900 MDT [13:53] i'm never around then :) [13:54] yeah [13:54] do you have any mtr's or anything? [13:54] i can't MTR the arp box because of how severe the packet loss is [13:54] does it get unusable? [13:54] yep [13:54] i can't stay connected via ssh at all [13:54] can you setup a cron on the arp box to mtr out? [13:54] does packet loss start before it hits arps network? [13:55] no [13:55] aside from the naturally occurring deprioritization stuff [13:55] and it's lossy to arp's web site or other arp hosts at the same time as your vm? [13:55] haven't tested it [13:55] yeah i hate lboody deprioritisation :) [13:55] i guess i will next time this happens [13:56] what kvr are you on? [13:56] 03 [13:56] oh [13:56] yeah :) [13:56] well i'm monitoring that host [13:57] and i've only seen loss a couple of hours ago [13:57] my latency to the vm is jittery as all hell [13:57] +/- 12ms [13:57] even now? [13:57] yep [13:58] does it get unusable?i'm seeing 0.1 msec jitter or something [13:58] oops [13:58] i must have pressed up arrow a bit [13:58] yeh no jitter here [13:58] well a mtr now could be useful. [13:58] i usually use mtr -i=0.1 when i'm testing things :/ [13:59] which shows up deprioritisation even more [13:59] err mtr -i0.1 [13:59] but shows jitter easier [14:00] r1 drops packets with that frequency [14:02] ihttp://pastebin.com/F7SJ0GjA [14:03] wow [14:04] oh you traced to kvr03 :) [14:04] yeah [14:04] tracing to te vps now [14:04] it's largely the same [14:04] that was with -i1 ? [14:05] it could be a comcast issue [14:05] negative [14:05] it's not [14:05] oh [14:05] no packet loss to any other destination i've tested [14:06] ther's jitter to 96.120.1.73 [14:06] buddy in FL was using the voice server and started noticing packet loss and let me know [14:06] but i mean between arp/comcast. [14:06] yes, because this is a residential cable connection [14:06] That's what she said!! [14:06] BryceBot: no [14:06] Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'yes, because this is a residential cable connection' [14:06] but there' snot jitter to the hop prior of 689.86.182.122 [14:06] but if 96.120.1.73 is a bras, that could be deprioritisation [14:07] it's the headend [14:07] so yes [14:07] yeah [14:07] mind sharing your ip? :) [14:07] 73.26.90.138 [14:08] it's worse to your ip [14:08] i'm still seeing no loss though [14:09] and it's just as bad from another provider [14:09] my latency to a box w/another provider is 30.1ms +/- .2ms [14:09] oh but it's fine from new zealand [14:09] well 3 msec jitter [14:09] or just under [14:09] That's what she said!! [14:09] BryceBot: no [14:09] Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'or just under' [14:09] can you try tracing to 202.49.71.24 ? [14:10] that's my nz test server [14:10] i have less jitter to that destination than to arp [14:10] it's gtt->comcast for forward route [14:10] +/- 1.8ms [14:10] but i suspect it's forward path from youu that's the issue [14:10] yeah i know right [14:11] i imagine it's not going comcast->level3 [14:11] but that doesn't explain why a bunch of other peoples' connections took a dump around 30 seconds after i started seeing packet loss [14:11] they may all be on comcast? [14:11] congestion could explain the jitter, but i couldn't care less about jitter [14:11] no, their sessions to freenode dumped [14:12] but yeah level3 may be having issues [14:12] oh hmm [14:12] on arp V6 IPs (i saw at least one with no rdns that was arp's prefix) [14:12] it's not even peak time though [14:12] true [14:12] the mind boggles :) [14:12] that's why i'm wondering if someone's machine is doing something at that time [14:12] because it happens right around that time each time [14:12] That's what she said!! [14:13] BryceBot: no [14:13] Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'because it happens right around that time each time' [14:13] yeah [14:13] like maybe saturating the link to upload or download something [14:13] i don't think kvr03 is having issues [14:13] and i don't think it's likely you're all on kvr03 [14:13] and i don't think r1 is having issues [14:13] but s7 coudl be having issues [14:14] it doesn't really explain ipv6 screwing up thouguh [14:14] nope [14:15] actually it does [14:15] ntt is on s7 [14:15] if it's a general issue [14:15] so, having looked at the users w/out cloaks who dropped when i mentioned packet loss, they were all connected via some arp svc [14:15] yeah [14:16] incoming skips s7 [14:16] for ipv4 from r1 [14:16] and my r1 based routes have been fine [14:17] but outgoing doesn't skip it [14:17] hey, milki jpalmer RandalSchwartz awyeah - are you guys connecting to IRC via an ARP VPS or dedi? if you're on a VPS, mind sharing which host? [14:17] but you wouldn't think someone would ddos at the asme time every day [14:17] right, that's why i'm thinking it's something saturating a link [14:18] or similar [14:18] and downloading at high speed over transit enough to saturate links isn't normal [14:18] offsite backup, something like that [14:18] yeah it could be that they're pushing backups onto arp [14:18] if they all happen to be on kvr03, that'd be great [14:18] haha [14:18] on a dedicated server [14:19] i really don't think kvr03 is at fault [14:19] but i'm happy to be wrong [14:19] oh hmm [14:20] kvr03 still goes throuugh s1 [14:20] i was wondering if hitting a host directly would bypass s1 [14:20] outbound route from the vm on kvr03 is via s7 [14:21] and that may happen on peering but not transit [14:21] *** hoggworm has joined #arpnetworks [14:21] inbound route is via s7 too i think you'll find [14:21] it just responds with the link address to level3 probably [14:21] but it'll be the same host [14:21] it's only r1 that's assymetric [14:21] because s1 doesn't have full route table [14:21] oh, were you meaning tracing the host kvr03.arpnetworks.com indicates s1? [14:22] well i was meaning kvr03 may have more direct path than your vm [14:22] but nah it's the same path ish [14:22] yeah, looks the same [14:22] it's pretty symmetrical. much better than before level3 was turned on [14:23] yeah level3 isn't bad [14:23] That's what she said!! [14:23] used to be inbound from nlayer/mzima/whatever and outbound via ntt [14:23] nlayer would have been fine probably [14:23] and it was unusable during "peak" time for me [14:23] yeah, it was NTT that sucked [14:23] way way way oversubbed at comcast [14:23] nlayer's been having weird shit happen recently [14:24] nlayer/mzima/tinet/gtt [14:24] i can't tell which is which haha [14:24] yeah, hahah [14:24] as4436 is having issues [14:24] which is that [14:24] mzimtinettttttt [14:24] it says nlayer :/ [14:24] yeah, some stuff still does [14:24] http://www.peeringdb.com/view.php?asn=4436 [14:25] yeah so that's the legacy nlayer [14:25] the net formerly known as nlayer [14:25] what happened to mzima haha [14:26] i wonder how many routes comcast has [14:26] 245 [14:27] including ipv6 [14:28] there's some non aggregated stuff in there too [14:28] i imagine they have more asn's, that's just AS7922 [14:31] it kind of sucks that comcast are huge and don't peer :/ [14:34] they started splitting up their network a bit more [14:34] based on market and stuff, tons of ASNs [14:34] ahh [14:34] probably a good thing [14:35] yeah [14:35] mkb isn't on comcast is he [14:35] That's what she said!! [14:35] as you said it doesn't seem like it's just a comcast issue [14:36] but prioritising making sure users connections well seems sensible [14:36] freenode on the other hand.. [14:36] dropping on freenode could be anything [14:36] that said, i've been stable for a whil again [14:44] does this packet loss happen at toher times than 7:30 to 8:00 MDT? [14:44] it has before, yes [14:44] it happened a ton last week (i think it was last week) [14:44] but atm i mean [14:44] yeh i remember that [14:44] well, it hasn't happened since last week [14:45] ahh [14:45] today's the first day. the time when it occurred in the past started at 0830-0900 MDT and then would occur again throughout the day [14:45] that gave me loss though [14:45] this one didn't give me loss [14:46] also kvr03's reoccuring issues in the past got dealt with [14:46] the specific to kvr03 issues [14:47] which was fixed about 10 days ago [14:48] but there was the issue efecting everyone around then too [14:48] and the effecting everyone was never determined the cause of i think [14:49] borrowing smokeping data from acf_ - http://kremvax.acfsys.net/smokeping.cgi?epoch_start=1426863600;hierarchy=;epoch_end=1426888048;target=Remote.arpnet-lsanca;displaymode=n;start=2015-03-20%2008%3A00;end=now;Generate%21=Generate%21 [14:49] it's on there [14:50] ahh i see [14:50] 0750 PDT 0850 MDT [14:50] it's level3 outbound [14:50] to ec2 [14:51] i wonder if it's level3 having issues [14:51] i think this is local though [14:51] microsecond ping time [14:51] on that graph, avg is .688ms [14:51] oh [14:52] nah his smokeping is weird [14:52] the top is to arpnetworks.com [14:52] but the last 30 hours is to ec2.acfsys.net [14:52] yeah, from the local box [14:52] second is from ec2 [14:52] it's the second that's having issues thoguh [14:52] the graph i linked, top part, showed 30+% packet loss to arpnetworks.com from within the network [14:53] for a period of 10 mins [14:53] oh the link didn't work [14:53] oh [14:53] i dununo why [14:53] weird [14:53] it wa so long, and it didn't make sense why [14:53] ok, well set the time today (03/20/2015) and 0700 as the starting time [14:53] to now [14:54] http://i.imgur.com/Z5WZ0y4.png as an alternative [14:54] oh that's better [14:54] mine was set to 08:00 [14:54] yeah [14:54] and it was ll grreen :/ [14:54] that weird little blip is there, even on arp>arp stuff [14:54] you're so right [14:55] http://la.meh.net.nz:24/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi?target=meh.arpmeh [14:55] that's to arp vm from vm on arp dedicated [14:56] hmm [14:56] maybe it is kvr03 issue? [14:57] i can't rmeember what host acf is on [14:57] http://i.imgur.com/jFD4Yic.png [14:57] wishing i still had my server at home so i could have additional data [14:57] but i shut down everything here but an rpi [14:57] haha [14:57] a rpi* [14:59] acf ios on kvr27 [14:59] looking at logs [15:00] he may have more than one host thouugh [15:00] i saw something about kvr10 - i was on 27 before (had a project that ended) [15:01] oh [15:01] i saw discussion about 10 too [15:01] but he said he had high latencies to 27 [15:01] but that may have been you :) [15:01] yeah, we were trying to figure out the ntt weirdness [15:01] around then [15:01] i should just monitor them all :/ [15:23] Thanks for the reminder m0unds, I keep meaning to setup smokeping on my rpi [15:23] (but it still won't be today) [15:23] That's what she said!! [15:29] i need to set it up on my san jose vultr host [15:29] which seeems to be ntt [15:29] if i weren't running an awful java app on mine i would [15:29] so useful for testing transit from arp i suppose [15:29] i need to get another one [15:29] the network is pretty bad on vultr [15:29] is it? [15:30] well it depnds [15:30] http://sj.meh.net.nz:24/10m [15:30] vs http://la.meh.net.nz:24/10m [15:30] they're both the same for me, 5MB/sec [15:30] maybe youu're closer [15:30] i likely am [15:30] vultr has random issues more often too [15:31] oh wow [15:31] from uk sj is way faster than la [15:31] ntt vs level3 [15:31] i've only used a couple hosts long term over the last several years [15:31] arp and linode for the last 2 or so [15:32] i only use vultr cos they're cheap [15:32] just for smokeping and bw tests haha [15:32] and somewhre convenient to ssh to [15:33] ok this is strange [15:33] vultr is going ntt->level3 [15:33] and getting better performance than arp going level3->level3 [15:40] i wonder if something is up with level3 [15:41] arp to vultr was fast. [15:41] but sj vultr shouldn't be twice the speed of arp [15:41] esp when they're both l3 to uk [15:41] (that was doing a uk test) [15:42] and vultr has the extra ntt to level3 hop [15:49] http://pastebin.com/HNz6uQtK [15:49] anyone want to try my curl download test? [15:49] it downloads 7 10mb files [15:50] *** YogeeBear has joined #arpnetworks [15:51] i probably should just stick it on site [15:51] http://weallsee.net/testspeed [16:02] mercutio: http://sprunge.us/GdAh but 10MB is a pretty small test file for a good connection with 100mbps Internet. [16:02] brycec: it's good to be small [16:02] (that's from my home cable connection) [16:03] large fikles you usually have in background [16:03] smaller ones you have in foreground [16:03] and it gives you a good idea if connection is going wekll [16:03] But for a speed test, a 10MB file on a connection that can carry 10MB/s is a poor sample size. [16:03] i usually time the whole script [16:03] but adding up the numbers it looks pretty good [16:03] Ah [16:03] but la is slower than sj [16:04] why is la so slow [16:04] (I'm also closer to SJ) [16:04] oh [16:04] but look how fast you get to new zealand [16:04] the top one is new zealand [16:04] ah [16:04] faster than .au, impressive and surprising [16:04] la.meh.net.nz is a nz ip advertised on an arp vm [16:04] i hope it's not going via nz [16:04] nz is actually closer to the US than asutralia [16:05] and syd is vultr :/ [16:05] yeah but aren't most trans-pacific cables going to Sydney directly? [16:05] i thought it was more imrpessive that it's faste than los angeles [16:05] nope [16:05] well they are [16:05] but it's a longer cable [16:06] i probably should use an arp ip [16:06] but as a quick test, la.meh.net.nz ping looks fien? [16:06] (currently running mtr's to see) [16:07] (Looks like I get to NZ via Cogent's SJ -> Plain.net.nz direct) [16:08] (And Sydney via NTT LA / Equinix Sydney) [16:11] http://sprunge.us/GNCS if you're curious [16:11] la pings were slightly slower than san jose, and both went over NTT [16:13] well it matters more what my route to you is [16:14] it's 3.18 kernel on la vs 3.19 on the others [16:14] it's gtt->comcast from nz [16:14] and it's going direct via san jose [16:15] and la is sending out via level3 to comcast. [16:16] with way worse jitter [16:16] i mean icmp deprioritisation and all that, but it's 0.3 msec jitter vs 2.1 msec jitter. [16:17] the jitter on seattle level3 is showing 0.3 msec jitter though [16:17] the jitter is on te-0-1-1-ten01.spokane.wa.seattle.comcast.net [16:17] and te-0-1-0 [16:17] they both hit that hop [16:17] which alternates. [16:18] (I should point out that Spokane, roughly wear I live, is a city 5 hours East of Seattle) [16:18] actually they both hit be-37-sur03.spokane.wa.seattle.comcast.net [16:18] and the jitter isn't there [16:18] That's what she said!! [16:18] (So, presumably Seattle serves as our upstream, but it is aways away) [16:18] so probably it's forward path [16:19] ahh your mtrs only have one ping [16:20] Yeah, for expediency [16:20] it's hard to know thouugh [16:20] yeah [16:23] can you run that test again just to make sure it's not random that la is going slow? [16:23] sure [16:23] i mean 30 megabit isn't /that/ slow [16:24] do you want just la's mtr? [16:24] just la's mtr [16:24] and la's download speed [16:24] actually just doing la a few times over for the 10mb test would be fine [16:24] it gets over 40mb/sec from vultr [16:25] so i doubt it's a general throughput issue [16:25] which is making me wonder if level3 is being weird [16:25] DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 سمَـَّوُوُحخ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ امارتيخ ̷̴̐خ [16:25] *** YogeeBear has left "DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 سمَـَّوُوُحخ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ امارتيخ ̷̴̐خ" [16:26] if it's slightly problematic generally, it increases the chances that it's being more problematic other times [16:26] mercutio: http://sprunge.us/LRJG [16:27] (and traffic on my own net is relatively quiet) [16:28] wow [16:28] it's all ove rthe place. [16:28] i reckon there's packet loss [16:29] can you try the same thing with garlic.plain.net.nz:24/10m ? [16:30] i expect it'll be the same [16:33] sure, one sec [16:33] anyone use policy based routing to redirect certain traffic out a different gateway? [16:34] i've done it before mnathani_ [16:34] mercutio: http://sprunge.us/dMJd [16:34] using ip rule and multiple tables [16:34] I redirect specific subnets and addresses over my work vpn, yeah [16:35] yeah same diff with garlic [16:35] it's xen, garlic is dom0 [16:36] why does your router have such high pings? [16:36] just seems a bit strange :) [16:37] because I don't have direct ethernet to it [16:37] oh it's bridged? [16:37] (ethernet-coax-ethernet) [16:37] ahh [16:37] decanet specifically [16:38] pings to other hosts on this side of the bridge are .3ms [16:38] maybe we could try iperf udp test? [16:38] sup with yogeebear trying to dccc the file "startkeylogger" [16:38] hoggworm: #frenode is already aware [16:38] it's a pita if you can't easily forward udp [16:38] hoggworm: https://nullroute.eu.org/~grawity/startkeylogger.html [16:38] brycec: cheers [16:39] np [16:39] that startkeylogger thing is old apparently [16:39] and it's been in other channels earlier [16:39] oh [16:39] haven't seen it yet on ircnet/efnet/dalnet [16:40] apparnelty it's an old mirc thing [16:40] I first got a random CTCP in Arabic from them :/ [16:40] brycec: so destination address based routing? [16:40] mnathani_: just simple "route add..." stuff [16:40] i used it for source based routing [16:41] I am trying to route my chromecast over a vpn [16:41] (and I use pf to limit sources) [16:41] yeah that's easy mnathani_ [16:41] without forcing all wireless traffic over the vpn [16:41] oh and I want to be able to stop routing over the vpn with a command [16:41] http://blog.scottlowe.org/2013/05/29/a-quick-introduction-to-linux-policy-routing/ [16:41] does that help you? [16:41] command: "Woman, unplug this cable" :p [16:42] ie: no config changes or dhcp lease changes on the chromecast [16:42] of course you'll want to set a static ip or permanent dhcp ip address on the chromecast [16:45] dhcp reservation is what I have now [16:45] I am attempting to do this using vlans / cisco layer 3 switch and Router if required [16:46] if you have a linux box [16:46] just set the chromecast to gateway to the linux box [16:46] and look at that link i linked for policy routing [16:47] basically youu can have two route tables [16:47] ip rule add from 192.168.30.200 lookup custom [16:47] so you can have a table called custom [16:47] would a linux vm work, or will it work out better to have a physical box with multiple interfaces? [16:47] vm is fine [16:48] ip route add default via 192.168.30.1 dev eth1 table custom [16:48] then you do something like that [16:48] are these going to converto to iptable rules? [16:48] hmm i did a udp test to uk nad it was fine [16:49] network namespaces in Linux are also nifty [16:49] it's even got less jitter than vultr [16:49] so why is http going slow [17:11] this level3 thing just gets weirder [17:11] with multiple connections to the uk one of them goes way faster than the other [17:12] so there's some load balancing going on [17:12] so my udp test may have been fine because it was on the fine connection [17:15] so bryces huge varying degrees of speed for the 10mb file may been due to alternating load balanced connections [17:19] mercutio: how can I test the curl 10 meg files [17:19] mnathani_: http://weallsee.net/testspeed [17:19] it's a shell script [17:19] with the urls [17:20] and set -x so you know which host it's going to :) [17:21] i'm seeing jitter to comcast now too [17:21] from nz [17:21] it was fine before, so comcast's load balancing is lame too :) [17:21] it seems to be a general issue these days [17:22] i think the core issue is that people are using aggregated 10 gigabit ethernet connections with people with high speed connections close by [17:24] and that seems to be more of an issue regionally, as long distance connections are 40g+ [17:24] it may even be aggregated gigabit in smaller locations. [17:31] http://pastebin.com/byQUYHGx [17:31] thats from my residential 60mbit connection in Toronto [17:32] wow you're so slow to japan [17:32] and nz [17:32] i wonder why [17:33] on teksavvy? [17:34] http://pastebin.com/fDh8A1iW [17:35] ok i find this more than a little disconcerting. [17:35] la is slower than it should be it seems [17:35] is a reoccuring theme [17:35] haha [17:36] i do wonder why mnathani was so slow to japan and nz though [17:38] yea, i'm maxing out at 2.3MB/sec from that la test [17:39] could be horribly slow writes [17:39] yea, hitting 5.4MB/sec on my desktop [17:40] i forgot i was testing on my rpi :) [17:41] it doesn't write [17:41] it redirects to > /dev/null [17:41] well, an arm6 cpu is dog-ass slow [17:41] regardless [17:41] yeah [17:41] mercutio: the Ethernet on the rpi is a USB connection to the host [17:41] so bus- and cpu-bound ;) [17:41] and that ^ [17:41] yeh they suck [17:42] it's fine for running crashplan [17:42] haha [17:42] I wouldn't say they suck, they just have their place [17:42] yep [17:42] i have one that controls my fermenter and i have one running crashplan [17:43] (Find me another $35 computer that is comparably spec'd and has a non-usb and non-seial Ethernet controller :P) [17:43] http://pastebin.com/4jcYkRjF [17:43] this is my vdsl connection [17:43] I have one for OOB/serial access to my core network, and one for Kodi. A good gamut of uses. [17:44] rpi terminal server sounds good [17:44] I can send you an mtr [17:44] m0unds: it's powered by the USB port on my wifi AP :P [17:44] i have some old-ass cisco 2516-rj [17:44] even better, hah [17:44] oh, i have one that does aircraft transponder monitoring via sdr dongle [17:44] forgot about that one [17:45] fun [17:45] the dump1090 binary is a little crashy, but i just automate restarting it [17:47] mercutio: http://pastebin.com/nQR6qvNu [17:48] yeah it's any2ix both ways [17:48] does that mean you're any2ix to la.meh.net.nz too? [17:49] maybe they're overloading their any2ix port [17:49] I redid the speed test http://pastebin.com/i8g3fz9x [17:50] i'm probably going to have to upgrade japan's bandwidth :) [17:50] you mean japan your host [17:50] as opposed to the country right [17:50] oh it's fine [17:51] yes [17:51] it's vultr tokyo server [17:51] 108.713 GB of 200 GB (54%) (Bandwidth preferences) [17:51] it looks like it's fine because most of it's incoming [17:52] some hosts like liquidweb do free incoming [17:52] vultr doesn't :/ [17:52] but they onyl charge you whichever is highest [17:52] and outbound is way lower [17:52] on 42.468gb [17:52] it's a real pita increasing bandwidth on them [17:52] your vps shuts down for ages etc [17:52] cos you have to change plans [17:54] do other things change as well [17:55] like cpu cores and memory [17:55] you get some more memory and more disk [17:55] when you enter the next tier [17:55] yeah [17:55] but i don't use much disk [17:55] /dev/vda1 15G 3.1G 11G 23% / [18:01] do you have a slave setup for smokeping [18:01] nope [18:01] or are they all individual [18:01] i just stick it on multiple hsots [18:02] I guess its easy enough to compare / correleate events with the web interface [18:03] yeah [18:03] i find it easier [18:03] but i want multiple views etc [18:03] so i can choose how it shows :) [18:03] so i'm trying arp's test download [18:03] and i'm finding it seems worse for performance [18:04] it seems to speed up slower [18:04] do you have 100 meg test files? [18:04] nope [18:04] i can make one [18:04] i have 200mb [18:04] testfile.zip [18:04] it's urandom not a zip file [18:04] on each host? [18:04] yeah that's everywhere [18:04] there's also 200k everywhere [18:05] i'm smokepinging with 200k [18:05] 200k actually identifies issues often [18:05] but it has a huge latency bias [18:06] with 10mb the latency doesn't matter nearly as much [18:06] well at < 50 megabit [18:06] at > 200 megabit it does [18:07] they should all be on gigabit too i think [18:07] i also have it on cloudflare [18:08] http://weallsee.net/10m [18:08] but i don't think they like you doing that [18:08] cloudflare is served from that first ip [18:12] with light use it's prob ok [18:20] does someone else want to try hosting a 10mb file? [18:26] https://speedtest.cobryce.com/speedtest/random2500x2500.jpg ot [18:26] *it's 12MB but close enough [18:26] there's also 3000 and 3500 [18:27] oh and 4000x4000 is 40MB [18:27] *30MB [18:27] hmm it's slightly quicker [18:27] 3598 vs 3407 [18:27] so yeah probably just the larger file size [18:28] having a copy the same size woudl be better for testing comparitively i reckon [18:28] (and I have smaller files - 1000 1500 2000 2500) [18:28] (oh and 350 500 750) [18:29] http://la.meh.net.nz/mini/speedetst/random2500x2500.jpg [18:29] i have that too :) [18:29] but not everywhere [18:29] good typo :p [18:29] oh shit [18:30] s/detst/dtest/ [18:30] http://la.meh.net.nz/mini/speedtest/random2500x2500.jpg [18:30] oh yours is https [18:30] mine is faster for me now [18:30] oh cool you can take the s off [18:31] port 80 is there too [18:31] I didn't realize I linked to https [18:31] yeah i'm finding mine slightly quicker [18:31] but not by much [18:31] i should check from uk [18:33] weird i'm getting way faster speeds from the uk to mine than yours [18:33] way faster than i was getting on 10mb before [18:33] like 1.6 to 2mb/sec to yours, and 4.4 to 5.4 to mien [18:33] That's what she said!! [18:34] * brycec is also uploading to his VPS right now [18:34] shouldn't matter? [18:34] oh it's a vps? [18:34] i thought it was dedicated from the mtr [18:35] but of cousre.. [18:35] arp makes all vps's look dedicated :) [18:35] lol [18:35] are you on 100 megabit? [18:36] Yes, I beleive so [18:36] *believe [18:36] That's what she said!! [18:37] still, uk and nz are about same distance away [18:37] (there we go, flash speedtest fixed speedtest.cobryce.com) [18:37] and it waas tiny difference from nz and huge from uk [18:37] i bet mine's out of date [18:37] yip [18:38] bah it wants you to login now [18:38] http://c.speedtest.net/mini/mini.zip [18:38] what? [18:38] to download new mini.zip [18:38] my speedtest is out of date [18:38] It didn't ask me, but I guess I'm already logged in [18:38] but chrome remembered my login [18:39] well it downloads that fast [18:39] http://la.meh.net.nz:24/mini/ [18:40] from home, I get just better than 6mbps from yours [18:40] weird now that was slower on mine than on yours for me [18:40] 6 megabit? [18:40] i'm even getting slower upload [18:41] I find the mini test to be fairly unreliable, at least compared to what I get via other methods [18:41] yeah it's lame [18:41] but it's a useful tool [18:41] i prefer my 10mb test. [18:42] but what i really want is something that can test a whole lot of normal web sites etc. [18:42] but there's huge complexities in there [18:43] the problem with speedtest is it just tests close local servers normally [18:43] or you tell it to go to some server, adn you don't know which to go to [18:43] it doesn't really help getting 100 megabit locally if there are no web sites hosted locally [18:44] but how far do you go? [18:44] i often find ovh web sites slow [18:44] but i don't go to any of them regularly. [18:44] it's more i find a web site not loading and i trace to it [18:44] and it's ovh [18:44] and then it's back again sometime and still going slow [18:44] of course it's not necesasrily ovh's network [18:45] but like mnathani getting slow speeds to japan and new zealand may not really bother him at all [18:46] I don't really need to reach nz or jp most of the time [18:46] mnathani: exactly [18:46] i don't even need to reach japan really [18:46] but it's similar ping to california [18:46] Did you see my second speedtest [18:46] and it's another way to the US [18:47] so if there was some big outage between NZ and US I coudl bounce via there :) [18:47] oh they went u~p [18:47] i wonder why it was slow the first time. [18:47] so now sydney and la the slowest [18:50] i wonder what connection speed they have on any2ix [18:50] 10 gigabit [19:02] maybe i should try upgrading kernel on la [19:13] ok slightly newer kernel [21:59] mercutio: 10 mb it too small for the speed test [21:59] here are my results with the 200 meg test file: [21:59] mnathani_: why do you say taht? [22:00] http://pastebin.com/28uxqhES [22:00] hmm la is still slow :( [22:00] connection takes a few seconds to reach max speed - by then the file download is already complete [22:01] yeah but a lot of that's ramping up, the connection stability etc. [22:01] often for interactive stuff it's what matters [22:01] it's interesting how close nz and au are for speed [22:02] it does look like there's some issue there, but i can get fast to tehre [22:03] slower than last time [22:03] something's a little weird [22:03] it pauses around 7mb/sec for ages [22:04] but yeah for 200mb file in la from nz i get average speed of around 8 mb/seec, and current speed of aroudn 11.5mb/sec [22:05] that is faster than any of your test resutls. [22:06] I have another VPS I can test on [22:06] in Toronto [22:06] oh yip [22:06] the tests from me were on residential connection [22:06] i get 17mb/sec to sydney [22:07] are you talking megabits or megabytse? [22:07] megabytes [22:07] lowercase means bits [22:07] :-) [22:07] nah Mb means megabits [22:07] MB means megabytes [22:08] mb could be either :) [22:08] it shows as M in curl fwiw [22:11] the question remains why the slower speeds [22:12] 17MB/s? Damn that's a nice fat pipe. [22:12] uk is consistently giving 5200k/sec within 100k/sec [22:12] brycec: it's gigabit [22:12] that's testing from the top server on that list [22:13] i mean it's gigabit ethernet, not gpon or anything [22:13] heh [22:13] * brycec is currently stressing his network and NAS pulling files @ 100+MB/s, wheee USB3 flash drive [22:13] i can only do around 4.2megabytes/sec from home [22:13] heh i can do faster than that at home over network :/ [22:14] My home network is only GbE :p [22:14] yeah i ordered qdr infiniband cards [22:14] (averaging 108MB/s currently - disk IO bound) [22:14] they're only $30 US each [22:14] Nice. [22:14] it just means i have to get someone to resend them to me [22:15] i still don't know how much that'll cost [22:15] heh [22:15] but ebay's global shipping program sucks [22:15] and the first seller wouldn't ship by usps [22:16] and the second seller doesn't ship outside the US [22:16] (Also IB wouldn't work well for me - can't very well run another cable across the apartment) [22:16] heh [22:16] i'm still trying to figure out how the hell i'm going to cable my room [22:16] i want to get from one side of the room to the other [22:16] runinng cables along the ceiling is guly [22:16] ugly [22:16] running on the carpet with a rug over could damage them [22:17] atm i'm using ethernet and plugging and unplugging [22:17] but i'm thinking that i'll have a few on this side [22:17] I have a single cat6 strung over top the doorways from front to back of the apartment, it blends in more or less, but every time I see it is a reminder [22:17] heh [22:18] well i was noticing that fibre is thinner than copper [22:18] but it's bright yellow [22:18] well the stuff i have is [22:18] (or orange, typically) [22:18] this is smf [22:19] http://pastebin.com/6JyuxBEX [22:19] that's windows test to home on zfs [22:19] bloody samba is a cpu hog [22:20] Only a 100MB test file? Did that ever leave RAM? [22:20] yeah [22:20] it's windows [22:20] it's disk cache sucks [22:20] if it was ram it'd be 2000+ [22:20] i have 32gb of ram [22:21] it'd have to be huge to be bigger than ram [22:21] and it does seem consistent [22:21] lol [22:21] well mostly [22:22] i'm using ssd's with write cache [22:22] err slc write cache [22:22] and linux will buffer some writes [22:22] but i care about network performance rather than disk performance for these tests :) [22:23] mnathani_: can you test downloading bryce's image? [22:23] there should be 5000x5000 [22:23] i dunno what his cap is like heh [22:24] the strange thing about mnathani getting slower speed is that it's a any2ix route [22:24] and i'm getting fine any2ix performance [22:25] and japan and nz should be using any2ix too [22:25] and teksavvy only listened any2ix california rather than north/south [22:25] http://la.meh.net.nz/mini/speedtest/random2500x2500.jpg < that file? [22:26] or you mean from his box [22:26] yeh but s/2500/5000/g [22:26] but yeah from his box [22:26] do both of them [22:26] see if it's similar [22:26] (it's an ARP VPS) [22:26] is the url handy [22:26] speedtest.cobryce.com/speedtest/random2500x2500.jpg [22:27] oh there's 3500 but not 5000 [22:27] oh you know what [22:27] up to 4000 [22:28] are those actual images? [22:28] if there's a transparent proxy it'll hit with bryce's link but not mine [22:28] yeah [22:28] they're just random pixels though [22:28] mnathani_: they'll render, sure... but it's static/random [22:28] it's better than speedtest.net's upload test of zeros [22:29] but it's still dedupable [22:29] well you can also hack it to cache too [22:29] i was playing with it ;) [22:29] but it won't give you a result if it goes faster than 1 gigabit [22:30] i was just rewriting urls, it's the same mini.zip thingy for the real speed test servers too [22:33] I probably shouldnt test from 2 hosts simultaneously hitting brycec's vps [22:35] haha [22:35] yeah he'll have 100 megabit [22:36] nothing has been extremely bad though, so it's diff from the packet loss issue [22:36] (and a portion of that is constantly in use :p) [22:36] heh la.meh.net.nz has done like 1tb of data in the last 100 days [22:36] i thoguht that was quite a lot [22:36] in+out combined [22:37] oh i've lost it now because i updated the kernel [22:37] is that your dedicated box at ARP ? [22:37] it was more like 900gb i think [22:37] it's a vm on dedicated box [22:37] so gigabit pipe [22:37] yeh [22:38] but yeah there's a reason why i don't normally do 200mb tests ;) [22:39] atleast not automated ones [22:39] with smokeping [22:39] well with smokeping it's 200k [22:40] * brycec notices a few telltale spikes on today's ARP bandwidth graph ;) [22:40] and it's pretty flat except sometimes gets better/worse [22:40] but stays good/bad [22:40] yeah i wonder if up_the_irons will see it on his graphs [22:40] my memory usage on windows desktop is at 88% and I cant seem to figure out whats using up 21 Gigs of Ram [22:40] it's relattively minor on mine, so almost certainly unnoticed. [22:40] i think some people are doing huge amounts of bandwidth so maybe it'll fade into the background [22:41] mnathani_: haha [22:41] and I dont want to reboot [22:41] i'm not even doing anything on windoms and it's using 5.7gb [22:41] two chorme windows, task manager, crystal disk mark, steam, a command prompt, skype, and foobar2000 [22:42] hm I do have an arp metal box... I should set something up on it. [22:42] chrome is runing a lot of processes for two windows [22:43] almost 90 chrome processes for me [22:43] skype is using 174.1mx of ram [22:43] mb [22:43] how do you find out the number of chrome processes? [22:43] I counted [22:43] in the details [22:43] god [22:43] i don't want to do that :) [22:43] probably a better way [22:43] using grep | wc -l [22:43] or something [22:44] if you have cygwin [22:44] chrome://memory-redirect/ [22:44] i don't have cygwin [22:44] i have synergy [22:44] i just use linux :) [22:44] chrome is using 1.3gb of private virtual memry [22:44] c:\>tasklist | grep chrome | wc -l [22:44] 85 [22:44] and 700mb of private memory [22:45] sj ;,ddk [22:45] oh sweet [22:45] when I installed git I chose the option to install unix tools in my path [22:46] % cat tl | grep -i chrome | wc -l [22:46] 16 [22:46] i cut and paste it :) [22:46] i had tasklist [22:46] actually i piped it to a file, then used notepad on it and cut and paste it [22:47] cat tl | awk '{ print $5, $_}' | sort -n [22:47] will show you what's using the most ram [22:47] well "cat tl" can be tasklist for you [22:48] 'awk' is not recognized as an internal or external command [22:48] gawk? [22:48] mawk? [22:48] nawk? [22:48] c:\>tasklist | gawk '{ print $5, $_}' | sort -n [22:48] -nThe system cannot find the file specified. [22:48] haha shit [22:48] just cut and paste it to linux? [22:49] or bsd [22:49] same diff :) [22:49] hell even a mac will work [22:49] windows is so behind [22:49] there is probably a powershell equivalent [22:49] i wonder what sort does [22:49] you maybe to output to a file and use the sort command [22:50] yeah sort doesn't take standard input [22:50] and you can tell it how much memory to use [22:50] task manager has a listing with memory [22:50] but its not accurate [22:51] tasklist said 239,852 kb memory [22:51] and task manager said 171 mb i think it was [22:51] for skype [22:51] lol [22:51] turns out it was VLC [22:51] that had massive videos on pause [22:51] don't you wish for "top"? [22:51] was it prebuffering the whole file or something? [22:52] it had a portion in memory [22:52] video was 48 gigs [22:52] 23gb though? [22:54] I was doing some video rendering earlier as well [22:55] process might just have been hanging in the background or something [22:55] I am running the curl speed tests on a Toronto VPS [22:55] will be interesting to see how it compares [22:56] not sure what the max speed of this vps is [22:57] you shall find out :) [22:57] wow [22:57] comparative is intersting anyway [22:57] 12.7 MB/s from LA [22:57] i got more than that before [22:57] from nz [22:57] you'll hvae like 100 msec ping or something [22:57] you had gigabit though [22:57] so do you that menas [22:57] means [22:58] 100 megabits / sec = 12.5 megabytes per second [22:59] yaeh but 100 megabit physical ethernet never does 12.7mb/sec :) [22:59] it can sometimes do 11mb/sec [22:59] That's what she said!! [23:00] http://pastebin.com/Bt9cXc6E [23:00] hmm [23:01] that's actually lokoing really good [23:01] UK is a bit low [23:01] tthe uk server doesn't haev good provider redundancy [23:01] it's just using level3 [23:01] and some people don't have good connections to level3 [23:01] but thats expected going over the pond [23:01] not really [23:01] it's way closer than nz [23:02] japan is going surprisingly well [23:02] what speed do you get from that vps? [23:03] its a customer vps [23:03] I never really tested [23:03] oh that route is over any2ix too [23:03] it's any2ix/he.net [23:04] would you be surprised if route to jp from that vps woas out cogent [23:04] it's what japan uses to get to it that matters [23:04] wow [23:04] the forward route is ntt->cogent too [23:05] it's going via seattle [23:05] what location is slc [23:05] oh is that salt lake city? [23:06] it's any2ix from nz too [23:06] but via northern side [23:06] hitting palo alto [23:07] http://pastebin.com/XavbkEi5 [23:08] yeah the reverse route is basically the same [23:09] can you try to the nz server again? [23:09] i just upped the transmit window size [23:09] thats the one with the IP [23:09] yeah [23:09] instead of hostname? [23:09] it's emerald.meh.net.nz [23:09] if you want a name for it [23:10] bad habit :) [23:10] i know what it is :) [23:11] http://pastebin.com/HSw0G1bL [23:12] slightly better [23:12] actualyl about 50% better [23:12] a bit less [23:14] but damn when did he.net get good? :) [23:14] just tested downlaoding to myself from the toronto VPS : http://pastebin.com/9cYizZzR [23:14] nice [23:14] maybe you should bounce your connections via it haha [23:16] cable can often have inconsistent speeds [23:16] comcast, cox, verizon are all like that [23:16] they all have sub par routing [23:17] bulk/cheap [23:17] but from the little i read about teksavvy it sonuded like they wanted to be better than other people [23:18] so maybe they will peer more and more and upgrade their network etc. [23:18] but why some any2ix fast and some slow is bizzare [23:18] it doesn't seem like an arp issue [23:19] but it's hard to know for suure [23:19] I consistently max my connection while using usenet [23:19] to a close server? [23:19] they use a pool and geo dns [23:19] joh yip [23:19] oh yip [23:19] well any2ix is ages away from torronto :/ [23:19] haven't run a trace to them [23:20] but i can't for the life of me figure why it would be slower [23:21] http://pastebin.com/ddGVk8mY [23:21] thats one of the usenet servers [23:21] not sure if they do anycasting too [23:27] does appear to be an anycast address [23:30] you suure? [23:30] pretty sure [23:30] that's going to east coast for me it seems [23:31] I got low ping from ARP [23:31] and Toronto [23:31] and IL [23:31] weird i get high ping from nz [23:31] sj to la to dc [23:31] connects to hwng in sj [23:32] how do I get mtr report to be 2 times as wide [23:32] lots of things are high ping here though [23:32] like ebay [23:32] so hostnames are visible [23:32] and amazon [23:32] amazon is around 230 msec [23:32] i dunno why it's so high [23:33] ebay lost hop it shows is phoenix at 150msec [23:33] but it seems to load slow [23:34] actually it's better than it used to be [23:34] i thought sites like that were meant to be heavily optimised thogh :) [23:35] try doing a dns lookup [23:35] ok [23:35] see if you get a different ip [23:35] on what name? [23:35] news.newshosting.com [23:35] nope [23:35] same location [23:35] news.newshosting.com is an alias for news.iad.newshosting.com. [23:35] i assume that is location [23:36] and 2 ips? [23:36] yeah [23:36] .28 and .29 [23:36] same ip you had [23:36] is there a way to use looking glass [23:36] to check as path [23:36] and determine anycast [23:37] or perhaps they just peer a lot [23:37] BGP.as_path: 9559 17746 4610 4826 12989 29798 [23:37] it says dc from arp too [23:38] and 60+ msec [23:38] that's not low ping :) [23:38] well it's low ping for east coast [23:38] but it's still east coast [23:39] hmm .. so its not anycast [23:39] ? [23:39] yeah [23:39] but it's nearish to you [23:40] I think they have different dns names for europe [23:40] yeah could do [23:57] So I recently started getting random hits for /data/v3/config.dat from some misconfigured Maxthon browser thinger. I got tired of firewalling the random IP's, and I have plenty of bandwidth to spare, so I pointed them at a 48GB (sparse) file instead. The last request gave up around 300MB MWUAhahaha [23:58] haha what [23:58] crazy [23:58] wouldn't it be better to feed it out really slowly? [23:58] 46.166.186.230 vps3.cobryce.com:443 - [20/Mar/2015:23:32:31 -0700] "GET /data/v3/config.dat HTTP/1.1" 200 365837887 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Maxthon/4.4.3.4000 Chrome/30.0.1599.101 Safari/537.36" [23:58] mercutio: but that's harder [23:59] It's supposed to be some "safe browsing" file from what I found Googling it. [23:59] So I'm possibly overwhelming the hapless computers. :D
