Slowww

Wow, idologic.com has come to a crawl for me today. Reading the forums is near impossible. I was lucky I could post.

Hmm, seems to be clearing up.

Entire network seems slow again. I submitted at ticket but don't see it listed. I hope they got it.

Edit: They got my email and responded right away. Thank you!

Please if that occurs again submit a 911. I'm cleaning up a DOS right now (2nd one).

Just ahead of an official notification, we'll be auto dropping any reseller's IP that attracts a DOS more than once to preserve the network for others.

Thanks!

narrowed down to two machines...

please submit a 911 in such case, with your pings to idologic.com and a traceroute it really does help I don't mind if it's a false positive.

Thanks,

Narrowed down to 1 machine... (sorry I'm short, doing 10 things at once).

Please post ping results here... let me know if you still have packet loss.

edit: found cause and is being dealt with.

So will this not happen again?

Is there a way to pull in another network line or get a dos mitigation device to keep this from happening in the future?

I would imagine if it's ddos related, it's almost difficult to prevent.

It was internal to our network so a network line or dos mitigation device wouldn't help. I know which machine it is and I'm watching it as so far everything checked out.

Basically the term DOS in todays case was incorrect, it was sending out packets like crazy, but total bandwidth was low.

We're on this and I'm setting up software to continuously measure our throughtput and alert me if it drops below N mps or if packet loss is greater than 0%.

Thanks

Nobody can guarantee if a (D)DOS will happen or not an (D)DOS mitigation devices help, but they're not 100%. Basically they null route IPs, which is what we do too in case of a DDOS.

This sounds cool! Please let us know when this is up and running. Thank you!

yep And if anything like this happens, don't be afraid to use 911@idologic.com . I'd rather be paged 10 times incorrectly than not be paged the one time it matters... (but please reserve it for emergencies only as it pages everyone ).

We've also been working/using nagios and I'm working on a client frontend for it which will let you see status, usage of the network, server stats and (if I have enough time in the day) your total usage (over multiple servers if you have more than 1 account).

Lots of stuff in the pipeline

Plus upgrades for au, be, c, f, ga to dual CPU machines with 2GB RAM and SCSI drives.

Lots of stuff going on!
