View 6 Replies View RelatedTesting Cogent DNS On A Cogent Line
Jan 19, 2007I am having a strange DNS issue on a Cogent circuit using Cogent DNS servers at 66.28.0.45 and 66.28.0.61. What is happening is that some domain requests will timeout the first try. Then subsequent tries will be quick with no timeouts.
I am having a very hard time getting through to Cogent that there might be an issue somewhere and I was wondering if anyone on a Cogent line using the same Cogent DNS servers could also do a test for me to and see if you can reproduce any timeouts.
How I am testing:
- Open nslookup (in linux use: nslookup -timeout=2, windows defaults to 2 seconds)
- Picking a random domain name (favorite cereal.com, movie title.com, brand name.com, random word.com)
- Repeating test for same domain if timeout occurs to see the next query resolve instantly
Here is an example of what Is happening for me:
Code:
[eger@womp ~]# nslookup -timeout=2
> superman.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
> superman.com
Server: 66.28.0.45
Address: 66.28.0.45#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: superman.com
Address: 64.12.47.7
> napaautoparts.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
> napaautoparts.com
Server: 66.28.0.45
Address: 66.28.0.45#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: napaautoparts.com
Address: 208.254.241.70
>
I picked 2 random domains (that were likely not cached at the name server) and they both timeout the first try. Anyone else able to replicate this?

Rate Limiting On The Switch
Jan 11, 2008Which brand / model would you recommend for those:
1 - bw limiting on specific port (like 3mbits/sec on port4)
2 - creating vlans by ports (like vlan1 = port1 + port2)
3 - creating vlans by ips (like vlan1 =x.x.x.1 to 8, vlan2 = x.x.x.9 to 27)
4 - managing the switch from GUI
Market Rate For IP Addresses
Nov 14, 2007I've been collecting quotes from various colo providers for 1 full cabinet in Virginia. I've been surprised at how much power costs these days, but I also understand power is in short supply.
One quote I got raised a question though. For a Class C (non-portable) IP address space, they want $256/month (so I guess that's $1 per IP). Their other pricing seems in line with the other quotes I have received, but no other place wants to charge for IP addresses like that. Is $256/month for a Class C considered normal market rate?
Does that reflect their costs? Are they paying a price per month upstream for IPs?
Slow Upload Rate
Oct 12, 2008I am hosted with ASmallOrange. I have always had fast uploads but recently that have been rather slow. 1-4kbs but now up to 20kbs. I think it depends on the file type. I am not sure.
This is starting to stress me out because it takes hours to upload 8 or 9 mbs of stuff.
What is a normal upload rate? How do I know if this is a problem with my host or with my connection?
I also upgraded to the lastest version of Cyberduck but I do not have OSX. I still have OS9. Could that be a problem?
When I try uploading a file of stuff it says 2 or 3kbs but when I upload an 11mb file it says 20kbs. It is so strange. I can't find a really good way to tract it. I am just watching the upload as it flickers and shows me a rate but it doesn't always. Deleting files is fast. And downloading normal files from the internet is about 144kbs.

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Postfix Rate Limiting
Oct 13, 2014There are several big domains that frequently defer accepting mail from us causing long delays or rejections. Google, AOL, and Yahoo are examples. I'm considering trying the suggestions found in this online posting regarding rate limiting the sending of messages to those domains. In the below URL, please see the section titled "Different policies for different domains"...URL....
Would these changes be safe to make on a CentOS 6.4 server running Plesk 11.0.9 with Postfix 2.8.4? Would any special modifications for Plesk be necessary?

Cheapest Price From Cogent
May 19, 2008I am sure people have been in contact with Cogent regarding connectivity...
They gave me a price for a 100 Megabit and a 1 Gigabit connection. So I wanted to see what people were quoted by Cogent.
He claims they have re-structured their entire business over the past 12 months.
He quoted $10/Megabit... How does this compare to anyone else?
Also is even getting a connection thru Cogent worth it?
Cogent Support Going Down Hill
May 2, 2008I have been using Cogent for many years and have always been pretty pleased with the service and bandwidth (I know many consider bottom rate/budget bandwidth). I would usually be able to call in and speak with someone who could check routing, login to switches to verify port settings, and make reverse DNS changes right then and there.
Within the last 6 months though I have been getting pretty poor support from them. Seems they are hiring more and more people just to be able to answer phones. The techs seem to have a hard time comprehending even simple reverse DNS requests and always ask me to hold for extended periods of time.
Today I called in and was even asked to hold right as they picked up the phone!! I mean, if your just going to pick up to ask me to hold, why pick up in the first place until you are ready?
Considering Cogent...smart Move
Apr 8, 2008I am considering getting a server from take2hosting.com. Their offer is great and sales has been very helpful and fast. Left definitely a good impression.
The downside is that they are on Cogent-only bandwidth. In the past I have really gotten something against Cogent, mainly due to one of my FDC servers being routed over Cogent and only pulling 10K/sec to Europe.
How is the Cogent network nowadays? Has it improved since a year ago? Worth considering?
From my tests the speeds are actually really great. They are located in San Jose, and I am testing speeds to Europe. For example to Surfnet Amsterdam (Cogent hands off the traffic to Surfnet in Amsterdam, so its on the Cogent network all the way) I am able to pull 2.53MB/sec. This is an incredible speed for a Westcoast<->Europe transfer. It almost makes me believe Cogent has started getting its act together.
For people who would like to test speeds, please use this test file. Especially European tests would be interesting, and it would be great if you could post where cogent hands off traffic from LosAngeles to either your network or a transit network. (In the US or Europe)
Right now I am hosting on a Level3/GlobalCrossing network @ the eastcoast. This works really well but it shows in the price. If I could combine a couple of budget boxes into one of those Quadcores it would save quite a lot. Question is: Is Cogent trustworty nowadays?
Thanks for your input
Ps. I know that hosting on a single-homed network is not the smartest thing to do. However they will add more carriers soon so this will not really be an issue. I'm expecting them to not drop Cogent tho, so my question remains

AOL > Cogent Traffic Sluggish....
Aug 17, 2007We use Cogent at our colo, and since this Monday (8/13/07) we've been gettin dozens of complaints from AOL users stating that connections to our sites are very, very slow and often time out.
We tested from an AOL session and were able to confirm this. We found this odd, because it came out of the blue and nothing had changed on our end. We also get excellent all-around performance from other (non AOL) connections, be it dialup or broadband.
We went ahead and did a bunch of traceroutes on the AOL session. We found things get bogged down as soon as it hits Cogent's routers in DC (timeouts / no response). These AOL sessions have no problems whatsoever with other sites and other (non cogent hosted sites) loaded fast and without issue. We then tested loading Cogent's own web site from the AOL session and saw the same sluggishness as well. The same happened when we tested a couple other Cogent client sites from AOL. They all pulled very slow (10 to 35+ secs per page) on an AOL/DSL session. This did not happen on the same broadband connection w/out AOL running on top of it. The same pages loaded very fast.
Just wondering if other Cogent clients are experiencing this? :? We have not heard from them about this, but wanted to know if this is something isolated or not.
