I saw that as well. It's tunneled via HE, but IPv6 traffic to Cogent seems native.
The same page states that the LUX datacenter has connections to 'major exchanges in Germany, France, and The Netherlands' and also 'Hurricane Electic, TeliaSonera, Level 3 Communications, PCCW Global'.
Information I get from the looking glass is that IPv4 always goes through Cogent and IPv6 is almost always tunneled via HE.net. So it's propably outdated information on this page. I'm sure Francisco or someone else can enlighten us.
It wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me, but routing through Cogent seems a bit suboptimal in some cases.
We have a little transit from root.lu, but scaling with them just wasn't a great option. Once we started to allow users to run TOR and such our usage went from sub 1Gbit to 4 - 5Gbit in peaks.
We have Cogent on site and are adding HE soon, I just have to finalize the cross connect over to LUX1.
It's not the most bitchin' EU network, but it's a pretty unique market and we provide a lot of bundled transit.
V6 is a combo of Cogent & HE's tables. Cogent covers 95%+ of the table with HE filling in for the rest.

Any ETA for slices in Luxembourg? Looking to get a 512 but I haven't seen them in stock. @Francisco
My first experience with KVM was with this offert.
There were few free bitcoins left and I decided why not. Took for a month.
In general, I was very pleased with the network, the hardware and (which is important) Law of the land.
I would love to use it further but I do not need a KVM (at its price) for my needs.

Thanks for the link. Seems like I just missed out! I want to try out the anycast functionality - I've got a slice in Vegas and New York, just not yet in Luxembourg.
Looks like there's some new stock this morning - Going to try it out
Its time to try.
83 is in stock right now

Just added a batch of new nodes this morning. Got a few more to rack up next week.
Once these are out the next big batch of stock will be in the spring when Slabs arrive.
Francisco
Awesome!
correct link

Do newer nodes have better hardware than older ones, or are they all the same?
All the same.
The DC has just been super busy on some projects on their end so they didn't finish racking things.
We've been reorganizing our original rack in LU which has required Anthony & I shuffle some users around so we can decommission it.

Well, after thinking for a long time, I bought my first slice & slab today Thanks.
How does the performance compare to comparative Vultr plan?
The closest vultr plan spec-wise is 512mb ram, 10gb ssd, 1 ipv4, and $3.50/m which is over 2x as expensive as a $20/y plan if you keep it all year. So I'd say it's not exactly a competing product. The vultr VM that I really like is the 1gb high frequency vm with 32gb ssd at $6/m. But again the 1gb buyvm slice is $3.50/m and while its cpu is slower, it has slab storage available and that makes the product a lot more interesting imho.
Im using the 1gb from vultr. Its 5$. I havent found a better VFM yet in years.
I'm got back to the ship. Cpu score good (even better that was, may be it because of debian 10 or @Francisco did some optimizations ) but why OpenVPN network became worse? Debian 10 64 bit Angristan OpenVPN Script
Can you test without the vpn to compare?
Francisco
yes
Could be the cipher you're using. I would make sure you have your cpu set to intel and the networking to virtio.

I have a 512MB slice in Las Vegas with a slab for back up. Idle most of the time but when the back up ran, I've noticed pretty significant "steal time". CPU usage would be around 30-40% while steal time is in the 45-50%. It's pretty packed, I guess.
More likely you're CPU rate limited.
You can ticket and I can check. I've had to lock down some nodes due to spikes but have been bable to back it off since.
Francisco
I'll open a ticket @Francisco, thanks. The back up ran for avg 15 min a day, with CPU peaking at around 30-50%. I'm not sure how it landed on CPU rate limited. It could be the inital back up that took a bit more than an hour and CPU peaked at 85-90%.
Sure. I'll check it out
Francisco
There were defaults configs for Slice and OpenVPN.
I changed Ethernet Driver from Intel PRO/1000 to VIRTIO. Now everything ok. Thanks.
About Block Storage Slabs
I thought Block Storage Slabs could be connected to any KVM Slices, but it only works with Las Vegas KVM Slices. Bad news for me, but I was very much surprised at seeing network speed for Las Vegas KVM Slices. How did you get that speed across half the world? You are really amazing. But of course the ping is high.
But NY KVM Slice is not as fast as Las Vegas KVM Slices, although closer to my location. Ping better than Las Vegas KVM Slices.
Working on NY stuff already
Francisco
Nice to hear it.
Hello everyone. A friend of mine does not have an account here so going through me.
He might be getting a slice in Las Vegas and he would like to know the host node info. Would you mind showing me the direction where I can find them please?
It is ryzen
Thank you for your help. I will let him know.
