BryceBot: <mnathani_> does that mean another round of kvr host reboots?
mnathani_: close enough
brycec: (yeah, escaping is weird as it turns out)
(and difficult)
(the difference between escaping input vs escaping within the regex...)
m0unds: s/e/potatoes
BryceBot: You're a stinky cunt muncher, m0unds
m0unds: lol
why thank you, BryceBot
brycec: Yeah, it has flood prevention too :p
m0unds: does it have a pool of insults or just the one?
brycec: small pool
m0unds: funny
grody: so i finally caved in and got me a gigabit router/switch
only a cheapy thing to openwrt, but claims it can do 900mbps hardware nat
http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-9_TL-WDR3600.html .. 800mbps sorry
mercutio: grody: that can't do anything like gigabit with openwrt
more like 150megabit i think
for wan/lan
but at least you can switch fast
the wireless ac ones have faster cpus
m0unds: i think i paid like $75 for the one i bought my inlaws
mercutio: that's about how much the ac ones cost now i think
m0unds: yea, this one's the same one you have iirc
c7
mercutio: ahh yeh so they have ok cpu
sort of
i wish they were like 2 or 3 faster cpu :)
m0unds: yeah, for what it's supposed to do
hahaha
mercutio: i dunno, i want to do tcp/ip acceleration / retermination
i just use pc as router and router for bridging wireless
m0unds: QCA9558 dual-band, 3-stream 802.11n SoC / Atheros AR8327 switch / 128MB DDR2 / 8MB Flash
mercutio: nice
oh 802.11n?
m0unds: that's in the C7
mercutio: yeh it's ac
why does it say 802.11n? :)
m0unds: idk
mercutio: 3600 is ar9344 it seems
hmm archer c7 has 16 mb of flash in v2
and qca9880
actually 9558 isn't much faster than 9344
there's 802.11ad chips from atheros now apparently
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Wireless-DW1601-QCA9005-8V256-WiGig-802-11AD-7Gbps-Half-Mini-Wireless-Card-/251802031092?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa09213f4
they're not even expensive to get mini pci-e cards!
werid that doesn't support ac or does it?
m0unds: huh, dunno
grody: mercutio, its more the wifi on it im hoping will be semi decent
just concerned open wont suffice and have to use dd-wrt (have seen a version for it) - will delicate it to pure bridge/switch then
delegate*
no need for ac atm
not all my devices do 5GHz yet
mercutio: use gargoyle?
my cellphone doesnt' do 5 ghz
i was surprised even on single stream 2.4 it did 45 megabit speedtest
but newer devices seem to be taking more of the limited bandwidth
grody: phones do, tablets do.. laptops don't
hmm
never seen that before
mercutio: my laptop does about 250 megabit with udp i think
with 300 megabit max
grody: usually build my own openwrt
mercutio: cool
i should do that really :/
m0unds: my phone does 433mbit on 5ghz
grody: yea, on similar hardware, dd wins hands down for wifi performance vs. open
mercutio: openwrt is a pita on archer c7
m0unds: i think my macbook does too
mercutio: my tablet does that m0unds
macbok may be 866
grody: on a wdr841nd i can get 96mbps wire speed off the wifi on 2.4GHz
m0unds: 2012 vintage
grody: openwrt i get abot 40
both forced HT40 too
mercutio: grody: i had to use a different blob and dev oepnwrt to get 400 to 500 megabit/sec out of wireless ac on archer c7
where native does 600 megabit
that's bridging two together, so 1.3 gigabit line rate or whatever
grody: nice
mercutio: i got about that too grody
ie it was saturating the 100 megabit ethernet
oh i wonder where that device is :)
what i want to try is doing less acking
because wifi is half duplex tcp acking every second packet should impair performance
grody: hmm, if 150mbps NAT on Open is about what'd it, what if it were pure routed?
m0unds: i really hate that android's app backup stuff seems to be completely broken w/gapps accts
mercutio: but in order to do that seemlessly need to do it on router :/
grody: PPPoE WAN to LAN no NAT, firewalling or QoS
(similar to what i do atm)
mercutio: and terminating tcp session on router is slow
you'd have to try grody
i reckon 250 megabit is about your peak limit with tweaking
grody: the 841nd handles the 79/19 easy
mercutio: oh pppoe
well it's the same cpu as rb2011 i think
grody: but i'd want the PPPoE WAN > Port1 > pfSense > Port2 > wifi bridge w/ VLANs
mercutio: using recent kernel?
vlans are done on the switch afaiak
grody: 3.18.14
mercutio: so no cpu overhead for them
yeh that shoudl be good
there was some improvements a while back
grody: kept the stock firmware, as the wifi on that was quite amazing
laptop did 103mbps on 2.4GHz
mercutio: 79 megabit is a lot easier than 300 megabit :)
i kind of wish they'd just stick 2 ghz cpu's in
and stop doing offload :/
grody: aye.. ideally this router will future proof me for FTTP (upto 300mbps)
heh yea
if USB etherner wasn't so w**k i'd use my pogoplug as a router.. 256MB RAM 1.2GHz CPU and can handle routed traffic quite well
that sits with a gigabit port, so bouncing back traffic through a VLAN would be doable
would need a smart switch though
mercutio: i think the cpus are weak in cache
but like 100 megabit nat you can do on p75 :)
of course that's cisc..
and cpu speed seems to make a difference
err cpu mhz does
you can actually overclock some
grody: http://pastebin.com/MW6LYLQf
mercutio: i've never tried it just read about it
grody: yea, 16kb L1 and 256KB L2
mercutio: but it seemed to boost throughput more than it should
ie it's cpu bound
grody: this thing handles well for an old board
mercutio: not bus bound or such
grody: have one acting as a backup mail relay
mercutio: is l1 cache 8k split data instruction?
i wonder how complex the forward path is on linux
grody: L1 Data cache = 16 KB. 4-Way, 32 B/line.
L1 Instruction cache = 16 KB, 4-Way, 32 B/line..
http://www.7-cpu.com/cpu/Kirkwood.html
mercutio: you'd think it could stay in l1 cache for forwarding
but hard to know
grody: need to get a new thin/apu for pfsense too
so much stuff to choose from and getting something decent at a good price is hard
mercutio: go second hand
i'm hoping to bid tomorrow on i3-2120
i want to shift my routing stuff off my server and stick dual ethernet card in it and plug straight into modems
brycec: Why not OPNsense, grody ?
grody: brycec, used it for 5+ years, i know it
have looked at bsdrp (or something) too
but meh
i've gotten to ♥ pfsense' quirks
hmm.. Dell-Wyse-R90L
has gigabit ethernet.. could simply bounce traffic back and force over port and tagged vlans
my neoware ca10 (ancient thing) can actually handle 122mbps routed and 75 (at least) NAT
can do 47mbps openvpn too
but it also routed traffic between two virtal wireless networks - and it gets kinda hot when everything is going on
brycec: I've become rather disillusioned with pfSense's management and direction, but I like OPNsense and their fork of it.
RandalSchwartz: so, I'm at a place that thinks that a shot of alcohol is about 6 oz, like it was a beer thing.
they charge 14 BRL for it, but that's about 3.5 USD
so I'm making out like a bandit
... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153078738704372&set=a.453592139371.245979.504874371&type=1&theater¬if_t=like
grody: thats all alcohol, no mixer?
shot here is 25ml (double 50ml) - costs vary but for most things (decentish) start at about £3 (GBP)
brycec: Viva Brazil, or something :p
grody: although cheap pub here sells double grey goose for 4.05
free mixer
RandalSchwartz: yeah
that's what makes it crazy
mercutio: how much is 6 oz? :)
oh wow!
so how many shots did you do randal? :)
RandalSchwartz: I had three drinks. I think that means I had 15 shots or so
mercutio: heh
a shot is normally 60 mls here i think
brycec: Sounds right, about 2oz
mercutio: when you mix your own drinks i tend to find it means you start with like 1:5
and shift to like 1:1
RandalSchwartz: a shot is typically about 1.5 oz
heading to my room... hopefully internet active there.
brycec: Good luck
mercutio: in brazil?
actually that looks like more than 6 oz
m0unds: seems reasonable to me
mnathani_: does it make sense to create a FreeNAS Virtual Machine, with virtual disks residing on separate physical disks for the purpose of mirroring / RAID 10 redundancy. How difficult would it be to rebuild the RAID upon failure of one of the physical disks?
brycec: Relatively few VM solutions support hotplugging disks, so that's an issue. You'd also have to rebuild the drive before you could feed it back into kvm/qemu/whatnot
ie. new partition table, recreate volumes/containers on it, files if necessary, etc
m0unds: yea, i'd say that's something best left to the host box
brycec: Or best left to pass through the physical devices
-: brycec sits still and complies
brycec: wrong channel >.>
mnathani_: k
whats a popular disk i/o benchmark on windows
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/measure-actual-hard-disk-perfomance-under-windows/ found that<< but its 2 years old
m0unds: that's the only one i've seen
there's another tool that maps out i/o latency
don't remember the name of it though
oh, there's also iometer, but it's hosted on sf
and sf is shady nowadays
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742157.aspx there's also winsat
