    Hey

    If you get a chance today or tonight, can you retest my server? The test
    you did that was really slow (I think it was from your server)

    I've been debugging and found some pretty big bugs in the IP
    fragmentation reassembaly stuff, I don't know if fixing these bugs will
    fix the slowness some people got, but I'm curious..

    I'll leave the server running (it may crash before you get a chance, and
    I'm going to be fairly busy the next couple of days, so if it doesn't
    respond, don't worry.)

    So yeah, I'm very sure my delay problems are at my end, and I think I've figured out why (or rather a possible reason).

    I use DNS64 at home, so my DNS returns IPv4 addresses as an IPv6, which then routes out to my NAT64 gateway, where it speaks one side to my server with IPv6, and to the other side (the outbound leg) is done over IPv4.

    The latency is quite bad to your server though. IE: If I do my time curl -I ... to another IPv4 host (I chose nab.com.au), its about 6 seconds (which is still bad as I think about it) - but to your server its 20 seconds.

    I dont think there is anything you need to fix at your end - but its good to hear you found somethings to fix anyway :)

    Hmm, yeah, I imagine theres probably a combination of things going on.

    Ohh, there is plenty to fix ;P

    Thankyou very much for doing a test. I was worried it was going to be crashed when you tried, but I just restarted it then a couple of minutes later saw your HEAD requests come through.

    Found a few bugs today, the IPv4 bug I was mistakenly copying memory of a packet using the size without byteswapping it first. That was a tough one because it only happened when packets were fragmented - which it seems happens randomly at different times, I was convinced the bug was in my filesystem code... but nope.

    Ah well, thanks again!

    The latency is quite bad to your server though.

    Hmmm... traceroute?

    I see about 46ms from here, taking a mildly scenic route via Adelaide thanks to TPG's very selective peering. Once my dance with COVID is done I might look at applying some filters there to make that more direct.

    ... to another IPv4 host (I chose nab.com.au), its about 6 seconds
    (which is still bad as I think about it) - but to your server its 20 seconds.

    Yar, OK, 6 seconds to NAB and 20 seconds to positronicbrain.net sounds like something happening at a higher layer.

    Yeah, I wonder if my nat64 is fragmenting packets somehow, that some where upstream they are arriving in different orders? Unless its the distance, with some link between Melbourne and apam having a dodgy or overloaded router?

    That said, when I talk to apam over IPv4 directly, its sub 1 second so maybe its not link related, but MTU related on my end because of NAT64. Must admist I havent looked at it in detail, and I'm not noticing too much issue anyway (while talking with other websites).

    If it's fragmenting packets, it's probably almost certainly my OS - I found another bug in the IP fragmentation handling just now. I use OPNsense for a router, so I doubt that's it, though I guess it could be one somewhere between.. however, my spidey sense tells me that it's mostly likely caused by the novice hobby OS developer rather than talented network engineers using tried and true OSes :P

    If you want to do a test with my nginx server, it's on HTTPS, on the same domain - it's running a wordpress site for my BBS, so I guess not an ideal comparison, but close enough :P

    It's the best one by far if you're looking for one with active users. Next would be Dove-Net then FidoNet.
