HE tunnel broker speeds
So I used HE tunnels in the past but nothing really serious.
I was going to set up one for production but I can't push more than 2-3 megabits to them.
My client is located in Spain and I checked with their nodes in France, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and the UK (they route much stuff from here through the UK).
I understand HE got bad connectivity from Spain, but 2-3 megabits is ridiculous and my mix uses NTT which peers directly with them in Madrid. Latency is fine.
Since some members of the community here are using their tunnels even at the BGP level, I would like to get some feedback. I'm just curious about their performance, specially if someone uses them in a "rare" European location instead of NL/DE/UK/US.
Comments
Keep note that their transit network is probably throttled for their Tunnelbroker service to limit abuse as best as they can.
Obviously, that's why I am asking to people using their tunnel broker. I mean, some providers here use them to announce their entire network on a location in the US, for all their clients. I don't think they are getting just 2 mbps.
Geez, you don't have to be in the crapper about it.
I see what you mean. Quality from place to place on their node may vary. Could be congested. It does matter where your server is, the uplink difference, latency and other things. And yes, I know about the "high quality network your server has" from another post. Just an idea. Providers might get something different, with the BGP tunnel and all.
Sorry, didn't want to be rude. English isn't my first language and sometimes I can't speak as precisely as I wanted.
This is a different location and network from what I written about OpenVPN, by the way.
Oh, well, their's still that BGP tunnel idea. Any providers here have one with Hurricane Electric?
I don't think I've ever hit over about 6mb/s but it's hit or miss. I mean it is PacketLossElectric after all
You gotta admit though, they're colocation isn't half bad. ;P
ipv6 tunnel here ready , gimme some ipv6 test files for testing please?
so that i can share what's going on ...

^^ my Ipv6 tunnel is faster than my native ipv4

lol my ipv6 Tunnel is definitely faster ...
Thanks, guys. So it is just a hit or miss situation after all, I see
OP, just try some other tunnelbroker: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers . New York pop works good for me as well as UK, both for servers in the same location.
Not many reliable options for Europeans. NetAssist is nice but a bit off latency-wise from Spain. SixXS would be fine but you can't rely on them.
BGP with he in Dallas here, speed is some 3 MB/s
I would be happy with a single megabyte Thanks anyway!
Can't complain whatsoever. (From a tunnel on the Stockholm server).
Hehe, nothing to complain about... I guess they are in the same building and getting transit from HE on IPv4 too.
@Maounique I understand that Tele2 may be "too" close to HE.net in Stockholm to provide a realistic test result, that's why I also checked the speed to OVH in the 2nd test.
Now testing upload (Estonia->he.net Stockholm->Italy):
No-no, you understood wrong. I mean, if the provider has HE in their mix, it will probably treated preferentially, it is normal, even if not, the speeds will be a lot better than going over non-he transit till the closest POP.
Tele2 is an ISP, they exchange traffic with HE at Netnod IXP.
I have no trouble maxing my 100Mbit/s coax connection, I'm generally seeing very good speeds with my IPv6 tunnel.
