RE: Canada and IPv6 (was: Ars Technica on IPv4 exhaustion)

2014-06-20 Thread Gabriel Blanchard
6rd is in my opinion a band-aid solution, I don't see the point of offering 
IPv6 if it requires IPv4. native IPv6 should be offered where possible.

We offer native IPv6 to all our DSL customers but only on an opt-in basis, 
we're although unfortunately unable to offer IPv6 over Cable since we still 
depend on a certain incumbent...

Videotron (AS5769) is offering 6RD (RFC5969) to all residential customers, if 
their gear supports it. (DHCP option 212)

(But our MGMT still calls it beta for now.)

 Teksavvy does it (tunnel I believe) if you ask.
 

We offer IPv6 over DSL and it's native, but it's opt-in at the moment. I
have the ability to enable it for all our DSL users but we're holding
off due to training issues more than anything.

60 Hudson Equinix

2014-05-23 Thread Gabriel Blanchard
Apologies for asking on this list but we're looking for a very minimal
amount of space in Equinix @ 60 Hudson. 2U worth of space tops with only
1A worth of power.

Is there anyone here willing to sub-lease space that would be
interested? Email me off-list.

 You sure? I think that there is an actual outage, unrelated to the

 There's no difference. Updates are available to all devices on a download
 day, and providers networks are drastically reduced in capacity as a
 result. Apple does not cut them checks to serve it up, why should that
 traffic be more important than anything else? I'd DSCP updates to best
 effort hell and tell Apple I'd like a small share of the revenue they've
 gained from all the devices *I* am responsible for updating. They're not
 getting these updates OTA often, they actually advocate (shocking, ATT
 wanting to save bandwidth) using your home Wi-Fi to download it. Providers
 can handle peaks, but SURGES begin to cause problems quickly. On
 narrowband pipes, we actually KILL updates.. They screw us that hard.

 There are no estimates because everything changes rather fast and

 The only thing you could have a really good estimate are the resources
 used by your company and thats about it.

 What are the current estimates about the size of the Internet, all IP
 networks including managed IP and private IP, and all telecommunications
 including analog voice, video, sensor data, etc?

 CAIDA, ITU, Telegeography and some vendors like Cisco have released
 forecasts and estimates.  There are occasional pieces of information
 stated by companies in their investor documents (SEC 10-K, etc).

 Do you have a source on this? Reason I ask is because any recent

 reduce chances of livelock on a running system.

This depends a *ton* of what NIC you are using. Polling IMO should not
be enabled on modern NICs.
They use MSI-X to distribute interrupts to each core through the PCI bus
to the APIC. As well as various methods to reduce the number of
interrupts generated per second.

This polling thing only worked well 10years ago. (Or if you still have
10 year old gear)
