Dragonfly network changes

2011-02-17 Thread Matthew Dillon
Various DragonFly machines are now running on a much faster network
thanks to ATT u-verse, and despite utterly horrid disaster that
att's little router box is I am slowly managing to thrash it into
shape.

Our main web site is now on the new network (www, gitweb, wiki,
and bugs).

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/

Developer access to leaf via the new network will work if you
use 'leaf-uv.dragonflybsd.org'.  leaf.dragonflybsd.org will continue
to use the old network for a while.

Our nameserver topology has been revamped a bit to remove old cruft
and dual-home the networks.

I will not be renumbering until I can get the reverse DNS operational
(lots of phone tag with ATT), plus give the new network a good burn-in.

For those interested this is ATT Business U-Verse.  Downlink speed is
around 16 MBits and uplink speed is around 2 MBits with their
highest-grade service.  My comcast cable internet (which I will be
getting rid of soon), also the highest grade service, has a faster
downlink speed of around 30 MBits, but around the same uplink speed
of 2 MBits.

Of course, I only really care about uplink speed here, since I'm
serving data out.

However, the ATT service so far does seem a bit more consistent
and I will test it vs my comcast internet (before I get rid of it)
with hulu et-all.

Great :-)

Do they offer IPv6 ?

The global IPv4 pool is now gone and APNIC, RIPE and ARIN pools will
almost certainly be depleted in a few months too.

Some people are deploying IPv6-only networks right now, and without
IPv6 connectivity I'm afraid access to DragonFly resources could become
troublesome in the future.
