I intended to have an independent measurement tool (including an
independent clock) but that should be good enough too, as it's highly
unlikely that you have serious clock drifting issues.

I don't know how far (in ms) is the router from the server but max=12ms
also looks way off.

Does it? If you are referring to the -ttt output than that is done by
tcpdump.

Good experiment. Sorry to say that I don't know why the measurements are
so inaccurate. I kow the Cisco ISR 1912 is a very low-end device but I
don't know if so enough to get into this level of inaccuracy.

Hi,

I am curious about what do you see if you placed a two-card laptop in
the middle as a bridge, do a tcpdump capture on the server-facing NIC
and analyze the times with Wireshark.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/4000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/white-paper-c11-734550.html

"13. Scalability Tests [...] All Cisco 4000 platforms support a full
Internet routing table (500,000 prefixes) @ 8-GB DRAM. The 4451 supports
two full Internet routing tables (1 million prefixes) @ 16-GB DRAM."

However, be careful: first, the full table is around 700K nowadays;
second, the interpretation of "route". For an ASR 1K a "route" means "an
entry in the RIB for each protocol" instead of "an entry in the routing
table" so if your router has 2 upstreams, each sending its full-table
through BGP it actually means you must size your router RAM to fit 2
full routing tables, not one.

Octavio.

[c-nsp] Forcing BGP to propagate only after route is in the FIB

2016-09-14 Thread Octavio Alvarez
Hello.

We are noticing our ASR 1002 is propagating BGP-learned routes to its
neighbors after the path is chosen but before the route gets installed
in the FIB.

With the increasing size of the BGP table, this is causing race
conditions that turn into traffic loops during convergence. The router
attracts traffic but returns it back to somebody else because the route
is not yet in the FIB or it is outdated in the FIB.

Is there a way to force the router to wait until a route is installed
all the way in the FIB before having it propagated to the neighbors?

Thanks.

It's 4 dual-port interfaces, not 8 interfaces. You can use the SFP *or*
RJ-45 port for that interface (you choose using "media-type" in
interface config mode) but it's only one interface.

Ports 0 and 1 (only on RJ-45) can additionally be set as PoE if certain
conditions are met.

So you can not use the two ports of the same interface simultaneously.

 I need to change the public IP of my VPN headend, which will

 our control, and scheduling all of them to cut over within a narrow

 Is there a way to cut them over one-by-one, perhaps a way to bind
 another crypto map to the secondary ip address?  My searching on
 google and cisco lead me to believe the answer is NO, but I am hoping
 I missed something.

I would try using a different physical interface in the router to have
another crypto map (you can even use crypto map local-address). If you
don't have another physical interface you could --depending on your
topology-- change your output interface to an 802.1Q trunk and have two
subinterfaces.

 Router in question is a 2801.  All VPNs are site-to-site IPSEC.

What is more confusing is when vendors use half-duplex

This is different.

A line card can support 60 Gbps of *processing power* if it can handle a 
full-duplex 30 Gbps interface because it has to process all the data at 
the same time in the worst case. This is correct. And so on: consider a

It's not the same as selling a full-duplex 30 Gbps link as a 60 Gbps

I guess I misread your message. I get your point now. The line card

That pretty much sums it up.

You can set up some inbound filtering to prevent a lot of routes to go

There was some discussion in Pepelnjak's blog about the filtering,

If you are trying to saturate the link in both directions each of the
acknowledge packets will compete against the other stream and will have
a hard time reaching back.

If the device has too small buffers, the ACKs for stream 1 may be
dropped, which may cause retransmits in stream 1, aggravating the
problem for session 2, which will retransmit too, further aggravating
the problem for stream 1.

If the device has too large buffers, the BW*DLY product of the link will
increase a bit which will lower the performance of the TCP session.

A good balance must be found. Try controlling your tests and see if you
can reduce the max BW per session. See how far you can go. I'd try
tweaking the buffers and repeating.

Also, as a measure, ping to the other end and measure RTT. Now, with
both sessions open, repeat the RTT measurement.

It's not *necessarily* a buggy device. I meant to explain why could the
problem be anywhere.

That said, if negotiation is being kept at 1460, you possibly have a
link (like DSLs do) that has a lower MTU but the router doesn't know.
Just follow Juergen's advice: set MSS to conservative values on a far
end and see if it helps. Then play with the value to see how high you
can go.

Re: [c-nsp] TAC hits a new record level of aggravation...

The annoyance could be avoided by removing Java requirements from the
website.

 I had the opportunity to open a TAC case last week...  and was greeted
 by the new website...

 I use Firefox with NoScript, Ghostery, AdBlock, and some other plugins
 that require their own unique whitelisting to get cisco.com to work at
 all, and even more if you need to login to anything.

 I have the most current Java 1.7 installed as of the last round of
 updates.

 So... going to open a TAC case...  I'm presented by at least four (maybe
 five?) Java permissions warnings/windows asking me if they can run.

 I bear with this, enter a case, and everything I carefully formatted and
 pasted into the case was compressed down into a block of continuous
 text, forget my newlines, everything crammed into one piece.

 I submit the case, and more Java permissions windows.  I go to review
 the case... still MORE permissions windows.

 Of course I have to go upload a show tech (first request for any
 case)...  and STILL MORE permissions windows.

 THIS IS RIDICULOUS !!!

 Anyone else had the pleasure of hitting the new case management site?

 I have NEVER experienced such a technical challenge such as that
 presented by the TAC website...

 I also now get Java warnings/permissions windows for ASDM for ASA, ASDM
 for FWSM, oh the list just keeps on growing for this Java crap.

I have a Verizon FiOS connection with 5 IP addresses attached to my 7505.

So because it's excluded from the access-list, traffic from my private

can't figure out how to pass this traffic without NATing it.  If I

I would go for: it is passing but you don't have return routes on your
external hosts.

Force it speed and duplex. I find that preferrable over disabling CDP.

I've connected a switch of mine to a provider's switch, and I'm getting

Is this just a harmless warning?  I'm not doing any VLANs with them.  
Their connection is going into a 3550 that has just had the nvram erased  
and NO setup done, so it's ridiculously stock.


I would try setting both switches to different VTP domains.

In this case, a dual hub (loadshare/backup) for 1000+ spokes would be
just fine.


Single-hub, dual-cloud scales and performs and converges better
than dual-hub, single-cloud and are not even recommended by Cisco.
Therefore, I would stick to the dynamic routing protocol approach.

3 days ago traffic started showing up on the trunk port connecting my

There's very little information. I could even think your traffic is
real and STP doesn't have anything to do with it.
