anyone familiar with configuring First Hop Redundancy Protocols using cisco gear?
How do the two interfaces we have on dedicates work? Are they connected to the same networks/would I be limited to 2 gbit/s if using two? (Thinking of setting up lagg since I might be potentially mirroring)

answer: yes you can lagg
and probably should
brycec:  thanks!
no problem
hrm. if they're going to two switches I could potentially get faster speeds by using a load-balancing stype of scenario?
type*
Perhaps, but not well. You'll have issues caused by your MAC flopping back and forth creating, probably won't see much better than GBE. (if it were a single switch, those can be configured to bond ports together)
ah. there goes my hopes. :p
(Oops I forgot a there.)
even lagg to the same switch won't give single threaded performance over gigabit
I assumed that was understood. I shouldn't assume things...
brycec: you'd be surprised how many people don't realise that
Or would I? :P
<-- rarely surprised, but oft disappointed.
ahh
what are the kinds of things people use shell accounts for?  Like devio.us ?
can they compile and install programs in their directory?
Yes
(And I answered this question lastnight/yesterday :P)
in this channel?
yep
I guess I should read the scrollback

heh i compiled a binary on devious, and then it stopped working
i was surprised by how many active users devious has compared to inactive
because i've had an account for ages and hardly ever use it.

that's when i was approved
the form must have been online, it's not in my sent mail so i dunno what i said to them
"test firewall remotely, maybe hosting some web content remotely... and as a better out-of-band-access than dsl"
cool :)
yeh it's prefer i had any vps's
And you apparently found us from undeadly.org
oh
that'd help
how much bandwidth does the devio.us shell server consume?
i dunno i tried downloading a couple of 10mb files
and it was giving me around 20 megabit
even from somewhere like 7 msec away
so either it's rate limited or there isn't that fast a pipe on it
mercutio: Funny story...
the tl;dr is the hardware/cable is bad or dying
For the longest time, we had a 10mbps link
Then one day, remote hands bumped something and it turns out we have a GbE link
I have no idea what our Internet feed is though
(or maybe it's only 100mbps, I can't remember)
(And yes I know the link is currently 100mbps. I'm going to assume+hope that's what it's supposed to be.)
how much data transfer does the devio.us box do per month?
I bet it uses a lot of swap, given the 2gb ram
Memory: Real: 754M/1347M act/tot Free: 656M Cache: 381M Swap: 265M/2055M
depends what you call a lot
12:18AM  up 46 days, 42 mins, 24 users, load averages: 0.91, 0.89, 0.89
only premium users can run background processes.
I wonder if I would qualify for an account?
but you already have an account :p
really?
Oh misread who said what
sorry :)
lol
np
Also, I have no idea what our monthly usage is
how much of a donation is required to get a premium account?
We're not currently taking donations, sorry
(we don't have the legal crap setup to legally take money)
fwiw I can show you http://i.imgur.com/di94xum.png
hmm: as per FAQ: You can donate monthly $2 or $3, depending on whether you want 1 or 2 background processes.
Well good luck finding a donate button :P
(And I'll update the FAQ next chance I get)
does devious put you in a jail, or can you list contents of like /home for instance?
Jails, on OpenBSD? ;)
feel free to list all 6000 accounts in /home :P
chroot maybe? I don't know
Still no
[we don't]
how about cpu limits to ensure no one uses more than their fair share?
Yes CPU and memory limits (login.conf)
I feel like I covered all this in the talk...
(or was it someone else in #arpnetworks that talked about watching the talk)
I started watching didnt end up finishing though
All the technical details are in the first 15-20 minutes
its still open in one of my many tabs
lol
or you can just keep asking question :)
*questions
Currently experiencing over 90% packet loss from $home to all Interweb destinations
Teksavvy and their non redundant hardware
weird
most home internet connections aren't very redundant
I have a feeling their core /edge routers aren't redundant
hard to say
it may be cold backup
mnathani: it may be your bras or whatever that you're connecting to getting ddos'ed, or someone on it being ddos'ed.
of course searching for BRAS comes up with something else.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_remote_access_server
Broadband remote access server :: A broadband remote access server (BRAS, B-RAS or BBRAS) routes traffic to and from broadband remote access devices such as digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAM) on an Internet service provider's (ISP) network. BRAS can also be referred to as a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG).  The BRAS sits at the core of an ISP's network, and aggregates user sessions from the access network. It is at the BRAS that
