mnathani_: next step figure out how to use vrf so the routes dont end up in the routing table
mercutio: it's mostly the muggyness
kellytk: For anyone up to a challenge, find a VPS provider with a Seattle POP that my pathetic ISP doesn't route through CA
mercutio: amazon
mnathani_: CA as in california or Canada
kellytk: California
mercutio: ahh i didn't even think of that mnathani :)
i assumed he meant california
mnathani_: whats your location / ISP?
kellytk: A lot of traffic goes through Vancouver it was a fair question
mercutio: yeah he had a good point that i'd missed
mnathani_: :-)
kellytk: I should have been more specific. Re: location Seattle and it's going through sttl.wa.frontiernet.net
mercutio: your isp is frontiernet?
kellytk: For 8/9 providers it went as far south as snjsca04.us.bb.gin.ntt.net before returning from its long and circuitious journey
mercutio: but what's your isp
that's what matters :/
for what upstreams they have
for all we know your isp sends all of it's traffic to seattle normally
mm, steam have servers in seattle
is that direct?
kellytk: I haven't tried AWS
mercutio: try tracing sea.valve.net
it just might help you check how your isp is routing
but going down to california isn't extreme
it's 15 msec from san jose to seattle?
it's not like it's going to new york or something :/
kellytk: I wouldn't be looking for alternatives but I'm getting ~300ms pings to every VPS host
mercutio: and even with the accumulative nature of latency 15msec isn't likely to make much difference when you're that close.
that sounds like congestion
what ping do you get to arp?
my friend was getting better pings to los angeles than san jose when living in santa clara..
because of congestoin
kellytk: BTW pings to sea.valve.net come back at ~30ms
mercutio: congestion even
that seems high
kellytk: Trace dies at ae11.mpr2.sea1.us.zip.zayo.com
mercutio: weird i can trace all the way through
kellytk: ~58ms pings to my Arp host
Literally 1/5 of pings to VPS providers in my own city
mercutio: is your arp route going over level3?
well 5 to 25 msec doesn't make difference to ssh ime
kellytk: ge-100-0-0-13.r00.lsanca07.us.ce.gin.ntt.net jumps to vl5.s1.lax.arpnetworks.com
mercutio: unless you're on a threshold, like 140 to 160 can make a difference
kellytk: Again, if this was < 150 I wouldn't give it a second thought, but it's slower than 1994
28,8 bro, mad binaries
mercutio: do what i did, get a low latency monitor :)
kellytk: This is insulting
By monitor don't tell me you mean display? :-D
mercutio: yes
kellytk: Haha alright no more pints for mercutio!
mercutio: if you use two monitors cloning each other you can show the time and compare latency
4.2.2.1 probably has a local node too
you may be able to change isp's and reduce latency by 20 msec or sch
mnathani_: what was your isp again?
mercutio: he said zayo i think?
oh didn't he also say frontier?
kellytk: Yes
mercutio: there's some frontier based in IN
kellytk: AWS datacenter network test IPs are tough to find that's lame
mercutio: i'm not sure what state that is
kellytk: WA/Seattle
mercutio: they're easy to find i think
what's your IP/
seattle is normal amazon west
i've got no idea why
most people host in east though anyway
kellytk: If you can beat me to a URL with the answer I'll be impressed
mnathani_: http://www.google.com
kellytk: I'm saying the information is tough to find
mnathani_: most answers can be found on that url
mercutio: dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
connecting in seattle with telia for me
so that should be ~30 too
and if so then 58 to arp seems normal
kellytk: I'm saying it can't be found
mercutio: i can mtr it fine
it doesn't show the last hop, but amazon stuff never does
mnathani_: 77 ping for me from Toronto
goes straight from my isp to amazon
mercutio: yeh everyone seems to optimise their transit to amazon
makes it good for testing, wouldn't recommend it for hosting though :)
mnathani_: s/77/77msec
BryceBot: <mnathani_> 77msec ping for me from Toronto
***: nathani1 is now known as nathani
mercutio: oh i assumed you were in the west mnathani
dunno why :)
so you'd see 58 ping as good to arp?
kellytk: I FOUND IT https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region
mercutio: and you probably have lots of traffic routing via new york
kellytk: No
mercutio: i gave you an address kelly
kellytk: That wasn't what I sought, but rather documentation
mercutio: what was your ping?
kellytk: ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com nor us-west-2.amazonaws.com respond to ping, so I'm still without an answer
mercutio: mtr it
kellytk: What's that?
mercutio: apt-get install mtr
or use pingplotter free if you're using windows
kellytk: I can't justify installing something to evaluate a VPS host I'll find an alternative
I like to find really great small providers anyway
Thanks though
mercutio: i thought you were trying to figure out your isp's routing
seattle has a peering exchange
and your isp is even on it
https://beta.peeringdb.com/ix/13
if you really wnat to find low ping that may help
but with a ping of 58 you shouldn't need to worry
kellytk: Thanks for the pointer to peeringdb
