Hello, 

Just been drilling down after getting annoyed a bunch by alerting tools that they were unable to connect to my servers at times.  This has been intermittent since the 5th of March when I switched from Spark to Quic. 



After the big block of 100% loss (cutover time) you can note the change.

Another server had a constant 16.0% packet loss recorded over ipv4. 



I reconfigured the monitor to connect to this host via ipv6 yesterday and it dropped from the constant 16% previously recorded.  

Question is looking at all this,  why might I be seeing all this packet loss?  ONT Diagnostics look ok.  I am puzzled but this does not seem would be anything to do with the wholesale fibre provider (Tuatahi First Fibre)

Any advice?

Hey,

 


I have unbound and pi-hole for caching DNS locally.   Upstream to DoT from Quad9 or Cloudflare. 

The monitors you are seeing there also don't use DNS as they have the IP's hardcoded 😃

 

Cheers

Sure, I'd be happy to do so.   

I even had the provider involved at the datacenter side.  Migrating things around to try and get things working properly.

Flick me a PM also with these addresses. If you've got others that you can share on here it'll be helpful.

Also flick me a PM and I'll put the IPs into MoanMyIP [NSFW] and see if I can detect any issues from the resulting nosies.

It's disturbing when you visit that site with IPv6...
