mhoran: up_the_irons: since sometime yesterday evening my VPS latency shot through the roof (both IPv4 and IPv6.) Interactively using SSH is extremely frustrating, pings are over 200, sometimes almost 300 on IPv4. Actually looks like IPv6 might be better so I'll switch over.
Yup, IPv6 is much better. It used to be the other way!
Looks like Level3 nonsense according to traceroute.
up_the_irons: mnathani: I actually turn off a BGP session with Level 3 yesterday
(we have 2)
mhoran: Aha.
up_the_irons: can you send me mtr's in both directions
(support@arpnetworks.com, so we call can see)
mhoran: Sure thing.
Sent, thanks.

sjackso_ is now known as sjackso
mnathani: is level 3 no longer a transit for ARP's outbound traffic?
brycec: Good question... I tracerouted to level3.com and exited ARP over NTT, lol
mnathani: looks like prefixes are still announced to level3, so incoming traffic still comes in through them
up_the_irons: We are unable to offer Level 3 any longer on outbound b/c they will not support terminating VLANs on our 2 core routers without charging us twice for the same traffic (it's one physical circuit). Totally. Fucking. Retarded.
They are still a default route, but of course, all more specific NTT routes will take priority
mnathani: would it happen to be causing a problem?
mnathani: no problem, the bgp routing table looks really different now :-)
I had a snapshot of it when Level3 was still up and was just comparing
up_the_irons: ah yeah
you won't see Level 3 routes, obviously
mercutio: ntt actually seem to have pretty good routes in general
mnathani: transit providers so pretty close to a full table?
ofcourse directly connected and via any2ix peers get preference
up_the_irons: NTT is awesome IMHO
yeah
