mnathani_: mercutio: I know I have asked before, but could you remind me of that site that gives you a score based on your ssl certificate?
was it https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
brycec: More than likely, yes
(Since you mentioned scoring)
mercutio: yeh it would have been
mnathani_: whats an elastic interconnect ?
mercutio: isn't that an amazon thing?
mnathani_: I tried searching and the term didnt come up as an amazon thing, although someone was mentioning it as an Amazon related service provided by Megaport

Gazby: thanks mkb
is that standard, i couldn't even find any documentation indicating how to cancel a service
after i started getting invoice overdue reminders when my CC expired, I went to cancel it and couldn't find how, figured i would eventually get cut off
it's still running five months later
spoke to garry, all sorted, thanks again

mercutio: what letter will ubuntu 18.04 start with?
mnathani_: did you figure out the interconnect thing?
brycec: @google ubuntu 18.04

brycec: well that was less useful than I would have liked...
mercutio: heh
i was just thinking they were going to run out of letters
well before ubuntu 18.04; but lts i was more curious about
oh ubuntu 18.04 may be called ballsy baboon
or busy beaver
so yeah they're going back to the start
brycec: Aw I was hoping they'd wrap into numbers, base-36 style
mnathani_: mercutio: the link brycec posted describes it using a bunch of other keywords I dont understand - but yea its an amazon or cloud based SDN Networking thing :-)
brycec: lol
mercutio: mnathani_: i've heard of megaport
brycec: mnathani_: Are you familiar with datacenter interconnects?
mercutio: their idea is bandwidth capacity on demand
brycec: (typically other cabinets, other POP's in the datacenter, etc)
mercutio: well dedicated bandwidth capacity on demand
mnathani_: is that like a dedicated link or vpn between datacenters
mercutio: so like say arp wanted to get gigabit to ams-ix
they could just fire it up,
then say they want to upgrade to 2 gigabit they could just raise it
then 3 ..
brycec: Well the idea of an "Elastic Interconnect" is just that, but "cloud scale" (they have the infrastructure and turn on the right switches to bring you traffic)
mercutio: yeah it's like mpls
mnathani_: ahh, that makes more sense
brycec: It's really nothing new, what they're selling, just buzz-wordier
mercutio: so there'll just be /30 at each
brycec: And possibly using fancy new tech like SDN
mercutio: err at each end, and you won't see the inbetween hops
potentially bryce
but not necessarily.
brycec: mercutio: "And *possibly* using..."
mercutio: yeh
i'm agreeing with you but rewording, sorry :)
brycec: Whether or not they use the tech and buzzwords they throw around on their website, who really knows (besides them)
mercutio: it's not meant to matter
you the consumer are meant to just eat what they serve
brycec: Unless you're the type of customer that wants to be using the hippest new thing.
mercutio: i'm not a huge fan of sdn yet :)
brycec: In which case yeah you go with the provider that uses $HipThing
mercutio: but i am thinking that having open source switches is a wonderful idea
mnathani_: someone does linux based switches/routers already
cant remember the name
mercutio: mnathani_: a few do
most are vxworks though
mnathani_: so you can install apps and do like gigabit captures eetc
brycec: Anyone can, you can start with just openvswitch and a grapload of NICs
*crapload
mercutio: brycec: you run out of pci-e lanes quickly
you can't do 48 10gbe ports on a pc :)
brycec: Depends on the scale of switch you're looking to do :p
mnathani_: I think it was arista: https://eos.arista.com/linux-as-a-switch-operating-system-five-lessons-learned/
mercutio: and if want to do gbe why bother?
brycec: For that matter, I have come across quad-NIC cards that can switch on-board, simply controlled by the host
mercutio: yeah that's a good way to go
brycec: So you can have 40GBps fabric among 5 ports, but if you have to packet switch to another card, you chew up host bus bandwidth
But I'm not in that world, these days, nor do I need anything truly fancy like SDN. So meh.
mercutio: 40gbe is actually a little hard
100gbe i think you'd really struggle to do on anything right now
pci-e3 x16 would be kind of near it's limits
pci-e 3.0
well i mean to really push it to it's limits :)
brycec: *its
mercutio: true
40gbe is coming down in cost though
mnathani_: what do you do with 40gbe if your disks (ssd based) can't support that throughput
mercutio: then you buy more disks
nvme ssd's do like 2 gigabytes/sec read
but right now 40gbe is usually used for aggregation
pushing over 10gbe isn't that hard, but running 40gbe to it's limit is a bit harder
