Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 11 April 2013 08:44:17
There seems to be a packet loss on simbx01. My IPv4 connection works without problems but if I ping the remote tunnel endpoint (both IPv4 and IPv6), some packets are lost. Also the latency is quite high.
I don't believe it's a problem with my setup because pinging the remote tunnel endpoint from another location (native IPv6; AS24940) also results in packet loss:
IPv6 ping from remote location (AS24940):

I use pfSense 2.1 Beta (4G VGA amd64, snapshot from April 10 2013) to setup the tunnel and propagate the subnet in my LAN. It's also the border router of my LAN, so no NAT is involved. It worked flawlessly until about two days ago. The IPv4 connection is stable.

Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Jeroen Massar on Thursday, 11 April 2013 09:41:52 My IPv4 connection works without problems
Towards which destination and over which paths?
but if I ping the remote tunnel endpoint (both IPv4 and IPv6), some packets are lost.
What is the path?
I don't believe it's a problem with my setup because pinging the remote tunnel endpoint from another location (native IPv6; AS24940) also results in packet loss:
What are the exact source and destination addresses, and what is the path that these packets flow over?
I use pfSense 2.1 Beta (4G VGA amd64, snapshot from April 10 2013) to setup the tunnel and propagate the subnet in my LAN.
As we do not have access to that (and quite about every other) environment, what exactly does that entail?
The IPv4 connection is stable.
What part of that connection?
IPv6 ping from my pfSense box to the remote tunnel endpoint:
Without exact source and destination addresses and a path quite useless.
Also note that QoS and other such features can cause the issues that you describe. But without more details, hard to tell.
Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 11 April 2013 10:01:06
Thanks for the quick reply!
Could you please try to ping the remote endpoints of the simbx01 PoP.
My endpoints are:
IPv4: 212.18.63.73
IPv6: 2001:15c0:65ff:62c::1
I tried to ping that IP addresses from other locations than my home internet as well.
I used http://www.berkom.blazing.de/tools/ping.cgi for IPv6 and http://ping.eu/ping/ for IPv4 and there is also a packet loss.
When using my root server at Hetzner to ping the endpoints I also get packet loss (with both IPv4 and IPv6).
Because the loss is about 10-30% I pinged the endpoints more than just 4 times.
That's why I thinks there's not a problem with my home network. Besides, everything worked just fine until two days ago and I didn't change anything.
At first I thought that there's a problem with my internet connection but I've no problems when surfing with IPv4.
Then I tried to ping the PoP endpoints from other locations and there's also a packet loss.
Some tests from my root server (IPv4: 46.4.28.250, IPv6: 2a01:4f8:131:4ffd:1::2):

Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Jeroen Massar on Thursday, 11 April 2013 10:10:43 Could you please try to ping the remote endpoints of the simbx01 PoP.
Please note that the PoP pings these regularly. See your tunnel details page for the statistics.
That's why I thinks there's not a problem with my home network.
Likely there is not, but there might be issues on this rather big changing thing called the Internet.
I didn't change anything.
In your part of the setup, but the rest of the Internet might have changes in usage and configuration that might affect this path. Hence the question about traceroutes to see the actual path.
Though a traceroute only shows one way of the path (the return path), and not the forward and problems might occur on either of them.

Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 11 April 2013 10:25:05 Please note that the PoP pings these regularly. See your tunnel details page for the statistics.
The PoP pings my endpoints, right? My IPv6 tunnel endpoint (2001:15c0:65ff:62c::2) and my IPv4 address, but not itself (i.e. 212.18.63.73, 2001:15c0:65ff:62c::1).
Or does it ping itself, too? On the RRD graphs in on my tunnel details page there are also these packet losses.

Okay, so I'll just wait for BGP to solve the problem ;)

As described in the FAQ, the PoP pings in IPv6 from the PoP side of the tunnel to the user's side of the tunnel.

Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Jeroen Massar on Monday, 01 July 2013 08:54:50
And with more and more people doing pings the chance that it is an ICMP rate limiter somewhere increases.
Without exact details there is little more we can say about your statement though.

Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 04 July 2013 07:44:15 And with more and more people doing pings the chance that it is an ICMP rate limiter somewhere increases.
Well, I've got the same problem again. It's been a few weeks now, that I have packet loss on my tunnel.
I had to disable the router advertisments on my LAN subnet, because IPv6 connections constantly hang and/or are slow (Facebook, SSH connections,...)
So it doesn't seem like a ICMP rate limiter, because the connection really breaks (i.e. ssh connection hangs or disconnects).
I tried to ping the IPv4 endpoint of simbx01 (212.18.63.73) from 4 different AS and I've got packet loss of about 5-7% on every AS.
When I ping maribor3-te-7-4.amis.net (212.18.44.134), the last hop before simbx01 (212.18.63.73) there is no packet loss.
Without exact details there is little more we can say about your statement though.
What exact details do you need?

I really want to use IPv6 again but with those constant packet losses it's just not possible :(
Any help is appreciated!
Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Jeroen Massar on Thursday, 04 July 2013 08:05:07 What exact details do you need?
Many. Figuring out where packet loss is really happening in a layered network (tunneling) is very hard. The packet loss can happen in this case on the IPv4 level, on any of the hops between you and the PoP, and on the IPv6 level, which goes over that path.
See also the FAQ on "my tunnel is slow" for a variety of things that might affect it.
Traceroute?
The traceroutes you show demonstrate that there are packetloss issues on all the paths you provide; traceroutes do not really indicate where that packetloss happens though
Packet loss (IPv4 & IPv6)
Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 04 July 2013 09:00:53 Many. Figuring out where packet loss is really happening in a layered network (tunneling) is very hard. The packet loss can happen in this case on the IPv4 level, on any of the hops between you and the PoP, and on the IPv6 level, which goes over that path.
As there are problems (packet loss) when pinging simbx01.sixxs.net over IPv4 but not when pinging (IPv4) the router before that (maribor3-te-7-4.amis.net) I suspect that the problem lies there.
There's no point pinging something over the IPv6 tunnel because the packet loss happens already on the IPv4 net.
Is it possible that you ask simbx01 to checkt that (and if the apply ICMP rate limits on simbx01.sixxs.net)?
I know, ping is just a very rudimentary tool and not quite able to trace back the real problem, but it's the only thing I can do. Everything outside my network is not under my control, so I can't do anything but point out that there's a problem.
If the problems persist, is it possible to switch to another PoP?
Thanks,
Thomas

You are pinpointing this on the PoP, while none of the other users have this issue.
As you state yourself "Everything outside my network is not under my control", the same from our side and as other users do not have problems, and our measurements from various places do not show any either, we do not believe it is the PoP.
