[NANOG] would ip6 help us safeing energy ?

hello i have a question : " IF we would use multicast" streaming ONLY, for appropriet content , would `nt this " decrease " the overall internet traffic ? Isn´t this an argument for ip6 / greenip6 ;) aswell ? just my 2 cents marc -- Les enfants teribbles - research and deployment Marc Manthey - Hildeboldplatz 1a D - 50672 Köln - Germany Tel.:0049-221-3558032 Mobil:0049-1577-3329231 jabber :marc@kgraff.net blog : http://www.let.de ipv6 http://www.ipsix.org _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG(a)nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog

A 1500-byte MTU will give you an _average_ packet size of ~1000 on long- lived TCP flows because there is one tiny ACK for every two full size data segments. (In the other direction, but let's not make things too complicated right now.) The reason that the average is more like half that is that on short interactions the last packet is shorter, and of course there's stuff like gaming, VoIP, DNS that simply uses small packets. >> Now obviously this only works in practice if routers and switches >> actually use less power when there are fewer packets, which is not a >> given.

Helps in overhead, TCP performance and (potentially) power use. But someone who is sending a 200 byte packet today isn't going to send something larger when her MTU is increased from 1500 to 9000 so the _average_ won't increase by a factor 6. >> PS.

[NANOG] Strange network behaviour
by Douglas K. Rand 05 May '08

05 May '08

We had a very strange problem today. Two of our hosts could not reach a server, but only those two hosts. All of our other hosts could reach those servers fine. (OK, I didn't try ALL of our IPs, but the half dozen I did try worked fine.) I checked all of our firewalls and routers, and everywhere I looked all of the traffic was exiting our network just fine. I saw on our edge routers the traffic going out, just no traffic back to the two hosts in question. (We had good bidirectional traffic to all of our other hosts.) And the two hosts in question were only having problems connecting to ftp.agnewsonline.com. Lets start with a traceroute from a working host, the orginating host is 12.192.92.14: [~]% traceroute -I ftp.agnewsonline.com traceroute to agnewsonline.com (64.46.45.226), 64 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 12.192.92.3 (12.192.92.3) 0.257 ms 0.171 ms 0.163 ms 2 pluto-0 (12.192.93.13) 0.401 ms 0.296 ms 0.294 ms 3 ixion-att (12.192.93.244) 1.260 ms 0.463 ms 1.116 ms 4 12.87.125.249 (12.87.125.249) 14.838 ms 9.314 ms 9.755 ms 5 tbr2.cgcil.ip.att.net (12.122.99.122) 24.528 ms 24.788 ms 23.009 ms 6 ggr2.cgcil.ip.att.net (12.123.6.69) 22.362 ms 23.410 ms 22.335 ms 7 192.205.33.186 (192.205.33.186) 23.448 ms 24.074 ms 29.405 ms 8 ae-31-53.ebr1.Chicago1.Level3.net (4.68.101.94) 22.800 ms 32.598 ms 36.093 ms 9 ae-68.ebr3.Chicago1.Level3.net (4.69.134.58) 23.446 ms 21.599 ms 34.060 ms 10 ae-3.ebr2.Denver1.Level3.net (4.69.132.61) 61.517 ms 57.482 ms 56.606 ms 11 ae-2.ebr2.Seattle1.Level3.net (4.69.132.53) 96.484 ms 114.264 ms 96.984 ms 12 ae-23-52.car3.Seattle1.Level3.net (4.68.105.36) 91.295 ms 88.700 ms 89.705 ms 13 BIG-PIPE-IN.car3.Seattle1.Level3.net (4.71.152.26) 90.053 ms 90.511 ms 92.072 ms 14 rc1wh-pos14-0.vc.shawcable.net (66.163.76.1) 90.062 ms 93.489 ms 90.757 ms 15 rc2wh-pos0-15-2-0.vc.shawcable.net (66.163.69.181) 96.527 ms 91.743 ms 97.254 ms 16 rd1ht-tge1-1-1.ok.shawcable.net (66.163.77.18) 101.412 ms 114.160 ms 100.530 ms 17 ra1ht-ge3-1.ok.shawcable.net (66.163.72.134) 105.651 ms 101.336 ms 101.628 ms 18 rx0ht-rack-force-2.ok.bigpipeinc.com (64.251.64.50) 111.960 ms 101.535 ms 116.136 ms 19 rf1.01.rackforce.net (69.10.128.198) 583.192 ms 491.170 ms 598.406 ms 20 64.46.45.226 (64.46.45.226) 110.207 ms 108.718 ms 107.279 ms A traceroute from one of the hosts that doesn't work would reach ae-3.ebr2.Denver1.Level3.net but go no further. I then tried pinging the routers I couldn't reach. I could not ping: ae-3.ebr2.Denver1.Level3.net (4.69.132.61) ae-2.ebr2.Seattle1.Level3.net (4.69.132.53) ae-23-52.car3.Seattle1.Level3.net (4.68.105.36) BIG-PIPE-IN.car3.Seattle1.Level3.net (4.71.152.26) but when I started pinging rc1wh-pos14-0.vc.shawcable.net (66.163.76.1) not only did I start getting responses, but everything started working to ftp.agnewsonline.com too, but just from that host. It really seemed that pinging that router some how fixed my problem. Well, I'm not sure I really believed that, but I still had another host that couldn't reach ftp.agnewsonline.com, so on that host I started a ping. I'll add my comments to describe what I was doing in another window in /* */: [~]% ping ftp.agnewsonline.com PING agnewsonline.com (64.46.45.226): 56 data bytes /* At this point in another window I started a nother ping: */ /* ping 66.163.76.1 and immediately this ping started working ... */ 64 bytes from 64.46.45.226: icmp_seq=18 ttl=108 time=104.617 ms 64 bytes from 64.46.45.226: icmp_seq=19 ttl=108 time=105.775 ms 64 bytes from 64.46.45.226: icmp_seq=20 ttl=108 time=101.569 ms --- agnewsonline.com ping statistics --- 22 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 86% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 101.569/103.987/105.775/1.774 ms It was like I threw a switch. The single outbound ICMP packet to rc1wh-pos14-0.vc.shawcable.net (66.163.76.1) fixed everything for that host. I was wondering if anybody has any clue what might be going on. I've never experienced a problem like this before.

Hello, Forgive me if this has been covered previously. I have recently discovered this list and have found it a gold mine of information. I've now traded 3 hours of my life reading through archives and have even found reference to specific recent outages that my company suffered to which we never really did get a RFO from the ISP. In the archives, I have read of another list which I am interested in at outages(a)isotf.org. I've tried visiting the site, and subscribing at http://www.isotf.org/mailman/listinfo/outages (as mentioned in several archived messages) but it doesn't seem to exist there anymore. Also tried to search this list for information as to whether it had moved or been discontinued, etc (google site searches, etc). Has this list been discontinued? If not, is it still open to the public, and what is its new location, that I might subscribe? Regards, --Justin
