mk: Had a terrible time last night (on arrival in Amsterdam) getting online: like in Groningen wired internet didn't work, and aparently I'd never used Tine (new laptop) via wireless here yet, so that didn't work either. Neither did my new phone. Haha security, only 'registered' MACs can connect. Luckily my old phone connected to wifi without and grumbles so I could get into the router from there and change settings so the new phone and the laptop could connect as well. #phew! But now that the wired connection doesn't woRk in either Groningen (it suddenly stopped working there) -or- Amsterdam, suspicion falls on the USB-C to Ethernet adapter I'm using. So maybe I should get a new (or 'spare') one... #networking (Did I explain this month already that I hate hardware? #ihatehardware!)

sl: I've got an idea how to improve #VDSL2 #speed a lot. Service provider says that only VDSL2 connectivity is available. So we all know that VDSL2 speed sucks, especially with long or poor quality wires. There are two ways how VDSL2 speed can be radically improved. 1) Use #CAT6 cabling for VDSL2 2) Connect the VDSL2 modem directly to #VDSL #DSLAM with short < 2M CAT6 #cable and then use #Ethernet signaling from that point to the end destination. After short testing found out that both solutions work well, and provide clearly superior speeds compared to #CAT3 #cabling. #internet #networking

mk: OK, one thing I'm sure of by now: my internet connection craps out when the connection is *idle*. Always from Tine, both i Groningen and Amsterdam 9that 3 different routers), and both for line connection and wifi - the behavior is always the same. I've now been streaming an internet radio station for over 2 days and it's been solid... That's a decent workaround but of course no solution - and besides, it takes up bandwidth which is noticeable when loading heavy web pages. :( I'm ducking but so far have not found any description even of this, let alone a fix. Maybe I should ditch NetworkManager and try wicd? #networking #troubleshooting #timeout !linux #ubuntu

mk: Struggled practically all day with #networking: two laptops, two providers, two modem/routers... laptops and connections seem to be fighting each other, and I'm sure there's a solution but I haven't found it yet. It's probably quite simple, even. And finding a way to stoer all data in KeePassX is complicated, too (partly because both modem/routers ahve such a different organisation of their data, and use different terminiology). Ugh. And I really need to get this sorted or I won't be able to set up a decent sync-and-backup system either. By now my brain is shutting down (at least the 'networking' part of my brain). I think I need a hot shower and an early sleep...

mk: !grrr - Support for IPv6 is still wide and far between. Most Dynamic DNS hosts I'm trying are either not supporting it at all, or depending on an external script - looking at a Perl script now that needs a module not on my laptop. Since I'll eventually need to run this on the NAS, that isn't very hopeful. There's still hope, but this is taking far too log and it's far too complicated to do something that by now *should* be simple! #ipv6 #perl #networking #dns

mk: After a whole day of trials and getting advice on #linode IRC channel, HE still isn't able to "pull" a zone from Linode (or at least this one). Giving up (for now) on letting Hurrican Electric "pull" a slave zone for this domain. That also implies that if I manage to set up a cron job to maintain part of that domain with Dynamic DNS, those Dynamic records will not be pulled automatically by HE: I can set up a "backup" domain there, but keeping it in sync will be all manual. :( #networking #dns The only alternative I can think of is to run a private DNS and getting that to AXFR the domain - but I'll visit that later.

sl: #Windows10 new #networking features - Some neat stuff Windows 10 Anniversary update contains: TCP Fast Open (TFO) for zero RTT TCP connection setup. IETF RFC 7413, Initial Congestion Window 10 (ICW10) by default for faster TCP slow start, TCP Recent ACKnowledgment (RACK) for better loss recovery (experimental IETF draft), Tail Loss Probe (TLP) for better Retransmit Timeout response (experimental IETF draft) and TCP LEDBAT for background connections IETF RFC 6817. - Yet all of those options were preknown to me, many of those weren't actually used. Except TFO. I've often also tweak TCP stack settings for systems which require some tuning. It's neat to hear that those are being used by default and do not require registry or tuning with sysctl on Linux. But as we've seen, it'll probably take a long time before applications and server software supports those features. Except of course some high end projects like web browsers and most common web servers, etc.

#Windows10 new #networking features - Some neat stuff Windows 10 Anniversary update contains: TCP Fast Open (TFO) for zero RTT TCP connection setup. IETF RFC 7413, Initial Congestion Window 10 (ICW10) by default for faster TCP slow start, TCP Recent ACKnowledgment (RACK) for better loss recovery (experimental IETF draft), Tail Loss Probe (TLP) for better Retransmit Timeout response (experimental IETF draft) and TCP LEDBAT for background connections IETF RFC 6817. - Yet all of those options were preknown to me, many of those weren't actually used. Except TFO. I've often also tweak TCP stack settings for systems which require some tuning. It's neat to hear that those are being used by default and do not require registry or tuning with sysctl on Linux. But as we've seen, it'll probably take a long time before applications and server software supports those features. Except of course some high end projects like web browsers and most common web servers, etc.
sl: #Cinia #C-Lion1 is ready for commercial operation. I'll be daily checking network monitoring, and hopefully see round trip latencies to drop by 10 - 20ms when routing is finally changed.https://loadaverage.org/url/3064071 #internet #networking #submarine #cable #fiber #finland #germany
