IPV6 Gigabit?
no idea I was too lazy to wait for the iperfs to run in yabs. and I'm too lazy to right now. but, I wouldn't be surprised, since download ipv4 is 1gbps.
Another yabs
Temptation was too strong so I grabed another one at early morning. I got 1/1 Gbps on IPv6 and 2*Micron 5300 960 GB SSDs.
Very strong offer for this price with 800 GB but these 960 GBs are avesome. One with 800 hours power on time and another with 6000. I got 4*8 GB Kingston 1600 MHz non-ECC memory in an Intel motherboard. It seems itt supports UEFI but luckily the server not configured to use that.
SYS-LE-1 is also available
Sadly the NVMe smaller than the BlackFriday edition. There was 2*1.2 TB NVMe instead of current 450 GB, however, the ram and price higher. And if I remembered well the CPU is now stronger.
The latter is not guaranteed, only based on luck. So far everyone who posted tests seem to have it, but in previous sales there have been reports of getting a server with IPv6 upload also limited to 100.
For SYS-LE-1, I noticed this ad-card on OVH saying they double network speed from 250 to 500 Mbps (until 7th March) but couldn't confirm this because when I put it in cart, it still says 250 Mbps on order confirmation page
Edit: now that I think of it, this might actually be an error in this ad as it's probably meant to mean "double bandwidth for SYS-6 and SYS-7" as those servers have 500 Mbps on order confirmation as well
Might be worth the gamble for someone to try to get 500 Mbps by taking a screenshot and opening a ticket after SYS-LE-1 order
How is it 15 euros but 19usd
Totally off price
Got one in GRA. SSD INTEL SSDSC2KB96 x2
I currently have a PHP-Friends vServer L (8vCPU/40GB/260GB NVMe) for 28€/m.
I can use the additional disk space and I'm probably fine with the reduced CPU performance and memory.
Do you think it's worth it? The only things that stop me are network speed and hardware failures/replacements. How good/fast is OVH with those?
Anyone know if you can you buy in OVH (EU) from the UK/Wales? I accidentally signed up to ovh.ie which doesn't let you pick UK when completing sign-up, and now when I try to buy from ovh.co.uk it doesn't let you because it wants you to give an address in ireland
. Could sign up with another email address but don't want the hassle of getting flagged
excluding VAT
Couldn't resist.. however, 100mbps up only ..
If you're lucky you will got 1 Gbps up on IPV6 and if you're ultralucky got 1 Gbps up on IPv4 too. If superlucky, the port will be 10 Gbps but it is very rarely. So this is a lottery.
I didn't have any hw failure. The only problem appeared at yesterday, 5 minutes after I bought and logged in to my KS-LE-1 the public network dead in the rack. They fixed it after the system created automaticaly a support ticket in 5--10 minutes.
Keep in mind that it is a old CPU. I have a netcup RS1000G9.5 so 4 dedicated EPYC 7702P cores, and I expect same GB5 cores on both instances. However, in some tasks, where the programs can use the newer architecture so not only the power required I expect better results on netcup. Another way, I can virtualize on KS and other tasks with this ability and with dedicated resources better than netcup. E.G. netcup has shared NVMe disks that can produce better speeds than KS's SATAs, but the KS SATAs are dedicated for me so don't have any throtles.
So I suggest that try the KS, but don't believe in the miracles. I keep a jump host (the mentioned netcup RS1000) because I don't have good peering everywhere to OVH and sometimes IPv6 isn't available.
I think 1000mbps IPv6 is standard so far.
I believe it does have an ipmi inbuilt. But the console says otherwise.
I wish there was a way to access the same.... sighhhhh
Most of these are Intel desktop boards with no IPMI
On the Kimsufi boards with ipmi it is possible to access it if you set it to your public ip. Very fiddly and risky if the board only supports ipv4 ipmi - can end up with no access at all
I remember having this kind of discussion on LET when the original KS-LE was released. Never found a way around it.
Now I'm curious.
In this thread I don't see 100 Mbps caped IPv6 but in the BlackFriday thread some server provisioned with that limitation.
Thanks! Missed it on BF, grabbed one now. Network speed is even worse than expected (20mbps to US
), mine is only going to be used for data collection though so send speed doesn't bother me too much. Got the 960GB disks, 30k power on hours but only 400TB written, with them being rated at 3400TBW they should be good for a while yet.
For the purposes I'm using it for it seems pretty unbeatable for the price, but I definitely wouldn't want to host anything publicly-accessible on it because of the atrocious network speeds.
Enable BBR and you will get full 100Mbps to US.
Thanks! That did indeed give me nearly the full 100mbps to US:
I'm clueless when it comes to networking and need to do some reading when I get time. Are there any obvious downsides to BBR?
King of networking @yoursunny, can your majesty respond to this question?
I believe this 5 min read can really help you.
Bought another. Now I got one in CA and one in FR. Cool. Added to my PVE cluster this morning.
1G ipv6 port, and I use ipv6 only anyway, so best deal for me.
Could you please explain me how do you use ipv6 to have 1G? Do you login through putty to your server using ipv6 and then you are getting 1G? Thanks
Nah they just did it themselves. I got lucky. I could have gotten ipv6 100mbps, but I got 1G so cool.
Hopefully the servers won't catch fire
Make sure you have IPv6 configured on your server (use their panel to get IPv6 info), now if you make request to and fro from that IPv6 address, it will probably give you 1Gbps up/down.
