[@mrmonkey10210]

As a core Network Engineer at an ISP I have to say out of the dozens of tech KZbinrs I watch, I have to hand it out to you for putting effort into your network videos. Sure some points/info are off, but still contain a lot of good information for non-networking viewers. If you continue these I'd be glad to offer some perspective. Some things to add: 1. In your list of equipment you forgot the most important, a router able to handle 10gig. Switching ASICs have been able to handle 10gig for some time but many routers (non-enterprise) still route in CPU instead of the ASIC. This makes routing and also firewalling very expensive at 10gig and above. 2. Latency through a medium, copper is actually lower latency theoretically, but there is an interference mechanism that purposely introduces latency to prioritize a stable connect vs a low latency connect that might suffer loss. 3. The actual nodes introduce ns of latency enough to the point where the number of nodes is ignored vs the path taken. 4. Traceroute off a customer connection in not the end all be all result. MPLS is the primary transport within ISP domains. You will not get replies from hops that are traversing MPLS nodes. This can mean a user is seeing 5 hops but in reality it can be 5-10 more hops than displayed. This can skew the perceived results. 5. Latency is TCPs Achilles heal. Due to ACKs and windowing is what determines the throughput you will get. The more latency, means the longer the sender has to wait before sending the next window. If you ran a 10gig test with UDP you would see closer to expected results at expense of possible loss.

[@snazzy]

I try my best when I put these videos together but it's so hard to cover all the bases without getting so "gotcha" and what not. That said, I appreciate the friendly praise and excellent list of additions/corrections! Cheers.

[@BattousaiHBr]

4. i don't have familiarity with other ISPs, but i don't know if MPLS is really all that ubiquitous for every single inter-AS traffic. AFAIK it's reserved mostly to specialized services like point-to-point (or point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint) links. also, you do see all the hops in MPLS, you just don't know where the failure is in case there is one since the packet goes all the way to the end (the popping of the label) before being able to come back (and latency for every hop will be the same as the last one, assuming it's not dropped). in fact, this is one of the reasons it's avoided unless really needed, as it makes troubleshooting that much more annoying. what you might be referencing regarding hiding th hops are MPLS-based VPN tunnels, which as any other tunnel do in fact hide the underlying network hop layer, but like i said, these are mostly used for PtP services, such as clients that want to hire a VPLS link between multiple sites.

This video demonstrates how important it's a good ISP. these days. Good interconnections with cloud providers and CDNs, great transit providers to the broader internet, and, most importantly, upgrading the core and the edge networks in order to sell faster speeds are, together, a key factor for selling very high speeds. It's quite easy to provide one gig, two gigs, or even more with the access gear we have today. XGS-PON is coming, and "10 gig" is the next big step. But, in practice, it's not 10 gigs if you can't use 20% of your bandwidth to download a game from Steam of from Xbox servers, nether can you retrieve a file from Google Drive at anything near the speeds you pay for. Of course, it's not all about the ISP, because the global internet operators need to work on this together on this issue. It's definitively possible and, frankly, quite easy. The challenge is, of course, money. And we are not good to go thought this by selling crazy-fast speeds for everyone. Fine, most people don't care about it. Paying $70 for 1-Gig and only receiving 200-Meg most of the time is miles better than paying $70 for a line capped at 200-Meg. However, if we want to take full advantage of theses speeds and not just experiencing a small improvement over slower ones, choosing a good ISP, with a fast backbone, vast interconnections running on fast interfaces (10G for less relevant traffic and 100G for relevant peers), and other points I sad is very necessary. Anyway, loved your video. The only KZbinr I saw talking about the challenges of today's "ultra-fast" broadband.

A lot has to do with internet routing. I do not live in a major metropolitan area and the nearest one is 300 miles away. I manage IT at my company and both offices have Fiber Internet and are only 70 miles apart. However, due to being two different ISP's and this not being a major metropolitan area, the data has to travel 1000+ miles round trip, putting the ping times for our site to site VPN at around 60ms. My house that is 7 miles from the main office has around a 40ms ping time due to a 600+ mile round trip. The "city" is a beach community and only has two data routes (regardless of ISP) and that is either east or west as there is nothing to our north. When Hurricane Michael took out Panama City Beach, it also took our all fiber optic lines to our east, leaving only the ones to our west. During the repairs, there were a couple fiber cuts to our west, cutting off our "city" entirely. AT&T had a fiber cut which took down all the cell phone towers in the city... all AT&T phones simply said "No Service" for 3-5 hours, same happened with AT&T U-Verse as well. The same thing happened with Mediacom... took out Cable Internet, VoIP, and Cable TV for nearly a week due to how severe the cut was. 100 Mbps Fiber for our primary office, located in the middle of downtown, is $450 a month on a 5 year contract. 100 Mbps Fiber for our remote office is $550 a month. The fastest internet AT&T offers at my house is 50 Mbps for $50 a month on a 2 year contract, but thankfully Cox offers Gigablast which is 940 Mbps down and 35 Mbps up for $69 a month with a 1 TB limit and $50 extra for unlimited data which is what I have. Thankfully I am able to get these speeds and since Steam has servers in Atlanta, where my ping time is around 25ms or so, I can nearly max out my connection downloading games from Steam. Needless to say, there is no data centers anywhere near us due to this being a small beach community and in the middle of Hurricane Alley.

I have FIOS gigabit, and what I found to be the biggest issue is just latency. DNS is one place, the second and perhaps more important is just having the right router that shapes traffic well. Gigabit can feel like 50 Mbps if you have buffer bloat. Why, well that DNS request and other requests get held up in a buffer causing pages and actions to appear to be delayed, well and they are. Fix the bloat and it's amazing how fast even a slower connection can feel. Knowing this is one thing, making sure you ensure each setup is working as good as it can be is another. 10Gb, well shouldn't have any buffer issues.

A few points. I have only once come across a 10 Gb connection. It was for a major bank's data centre. Canadian banks tend to be much larger than American banks. By comparison, back in the early 90s, I was working on a job for another major bank. They had one data centre in Toronto and another in a different city. This project was to provide 4 DS3 (45 Mb each) connections between the two sites, with two coming from my company and two from the phone company. That was a blazing 180 Mb/s between two bank data centres! On the other hand, when I first started working in telecom, some of the equipment I worked on ran at all of 45.4 bit/sec! Also, with my ISP, I'm paying for 500/20 Mb. However, according to speedtest I get around 940/31! So, no complaints there. And just this morning, I decided to check a 5G C band (3.5 GHz) cell connection and was getting around 436/78 with my Pixel 6 phone.

Just an FYI, and Not meant as a Gotcha. Something important about how fast you can upload to a place like Google Drive, KZbin, or anywhere else also depends on the Download speeds available of the servers hosting the service you are trying to access, and their upload speed when you are downloading something. The server could have a 10Gb connection to it as well, but limits are put in place per session so one user is not allowed to "Hog" the bandwidth. This is for security and user experience It prevents against simple attacks from hackers that may take place, and allows for more people to be able to access the features they want on the site as well.

A Ookla Speedtest server is not only selected by physical location.

As someone who does networking for a living, I get this complaint about network speed all the time. Most websites don't have more than a gigabit connection ( and they're not just sending data to you, so that has to be split between everyone accessing their site ), some only have 100 megabit ( still more common than one would think in this day and age ). Not to mention every stop along the way from your computer to their server. You may get routed over a slow pipe which probably won't effect your bandwidth much since even a slow pipe is still probably faster than your home connection, but depending on how congested it is, it may seriously effect your latency. The server may be in a remote place, or in a place where natural disasters ( such as hurricanes, or massive fires ) are effecting the ability of the local networking infrastructure to provide as much throughput as might be normally available if large portions of their network weren't down as a result. And that still doesn't take into account how much of your traffic is going over high speed low latency fiber, and how much is going over more traditional copper. Not to mention latency introduced when switching between the two mediums in addition to the normal latency from each additional hop. It gets really crazy, and it's really a miracle that the internet even works at all at times.

Y’all are complaining about you 100-10000 mps internet while I’m lucky to get 30mps lol

[@TheHermitHacker]

I'm still blown away i finally have 30-60Mpbits/sec down and 20 up with T-Mobile, out in the middle of nowhere. Of course, it took a Mofi-4500 SIM 7 modem, a couple of antennas that cost $300 each and a fiberglass pole, POE injector/splitter, Netgear AX3000 router and 300ft of Cat6e cable to make it work,but hey, it's only $20/mo for "unlimited". Before that it was 1mbits/sec DSL that was always dropping out. No other options including satellite because i'm up against a mountain which obstructs my view.

At home I switch from Comcast 200Mb to 1Gb plan and saved money. Basically over the years my Comcast service had switch to more expensive a la cart pricing. All basically switch back to a plan and dropped some premium cable channels I rarely watched. I now get 1.4 Gb download. All consumer firewalls top out at 1Gb, so you will only see 950 Mb speedtests. I had to install a pfsense firewall with dual 10 Gb NICS. The cable modem is attached to the WAN port at 2.5Gb. The LAN port is attached at 10Gb. The best I have seen in consumer is 2.5Gb WAN and 1GB LAN. The NICS are actually what they call Multi-Gigabit NICS, they operrate at 10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, and 1Gb. The old 10 Gb NICS only operated at 10Gb and 1Gb. 10Gb NICS are expensive, so a lot of equipment is opting for cheaper 2.5Gb NICS. The secret wording is Multi-Gigabit. It took me awhile before I realized that.

Here in Jersey channel island, the telecoms company finished their rollout of fibre (ftth) to all 100k+ residents. During the pandemic they have given every single household 1Gbps symmetrical connection for free, as long as they are already paying for a standard service.

[@thexavier666]

Disclaimer: I work with servers at a research institute. The problem of torrents is that your PC is doing several tasks at the same time 0. Reading block from disk 1. Downloading the block 2. Writing block to disk So a lot of time is spent on disk activity, which becomes a bottleneck. If you can do a "purely" network activity, you can achieve close to 10 Gbps, which I do in our servers. 0. Get a server/VM which is known to offer gigabit speeds 1. Install iperf on that server 2. Run "iperf -s" on the server 3. Install iperf on your home PC 4. Run "iperf -c " Note: Make sure the server/PC is properly port-forwarded. What you have just done is basically created a private instance of a speedtest server. Let me know if you have any queries.

[@kuhrd]

10 Gbe has been affordable for a person at home for the last 5+ years. That is if you are willing to buy used enterprise hardware. About 8-9 years ago I bought 8 X 10 Gbe SFP+ single port cards and 5 X 10Gbe Dual Port SFP+ cards and ran fiber or copper SFP+ cables through my house. I used my HP server running ESXi as the switch to connect traffic to a computer running clear OS as a dedicated web appliance. I think all together I paid in the neighborhood of $500 for the cables and the cards not counting the server that I already had. That to me doesn't seem all that bad considering that some people spend $200+ on crap consumer wifi routers for their house that doesn't hold a candle to 4yo enterprise and even used DIY solutions.

At 9:50, cloudflare also acts as a reverse proxy for sites so you will never know the actual ip address of the fiver server, it will always be cloudflare's ip. So even if cloudflare didn't cache the request, you will only see cloudflare's ip.

@1:24 - Windows tip: if you click the menu lines in the top left of the built-in calculator you can do pretty much any conversion you want right in the app, including data conversions; it even supports date calculation of either difference between dates or figuring out dates in the future/past by adding/subtracting days, weeks, or months. I know it's hard to imagine Windows having good built in features, but hey, stranger things have happened outside of Mac land ;)

[@zacksstuff]

Here's where I gripe about the fact that Comcast only gives me 5 Mbps up with the 200 down package. It's kinda ridiculous, they kept boosting the download speed on that package (from 25 to 75 to 200) but kept the upload the same at 5 Mbps. Makes uploading a 600 meg KZbin Video a chore, let alone 6 gigs.

[@JJFlores197]

Same. I have the 175 Mbps package (over provisioned to 220Mbps download), but only 6 Mbps upload.

Despite the "new tendency of constantly muttable click-bait video IDs", that was actually useful and very interesting to watch. Even I not being any 'MVP certified professional in networking infrastructure' - yet -, I approve this one and will share it to most people on my social circle. I still believe over 1Gb/s links, even for ginormous corporations, is unnecessary but we are getting into it. And can't wait to see your home network build-up 😊

[@TjPhysicist]

honestly, realistically 100Mbps is more than good enough with the exception of massive downloads (which most people don't do that often i'd think. Maybe a game download once in a while) for even a small family. I've had all kinds of speeds through the years from 1Mbps all the way to my gigabit connection today, and def. 100Mbps was more than enough. A quick googling puts 4k video requirement at around 20Mbps. So maybe a 3-4 person household could be perfectly happy with 100Mbps. Any more than that and stuff will start to suffer. The big issue with slower internet isn't the everyday stuff tbh, it's the big downloads. Windows Updates, Game updates heck nowadays most games are 100s of GB and mostly only available via digital download, so while a 20Mbps connection is perfectly fine for 1 person, not so much when the next Assassins creed comes out and now you have to wait 5 days to download it. Heck, even work stuff, i work as an analyst and regularly have to download large database and excel files in the multi-GB size magnitude, i have colleagues who have 10Mbps and 20Mbps type of internet and it sometimes genuinely interferes with work. However, even 1Gbps is way too small for "ginormous" corps though. Think about a company like google or apple who have thousands of employees working remotely and/or in their office all at the same time. Let's say you're google and your large office has about 5000 people working on campus, if your whole company only for 1Gb/s then each person will have maybe 25Kilobytes/Sec of bandwidth (assuming divided equally). That's not even enough to load modern web pages let alone do video calls and download large files in a timely manner. This isn't even getting into even medium sized businesses that have people working from home and need to say edit videos and download/upload them for work from your servers...

Best use for 10 gigabit is more efficiently gathering anime. When it comes to anime, you can never get it fast enough, thus anything that will improve the speed in which you can get more anime, is good.

Excellent video! Great presentation, informative, and very accurate. I work for an ISP. You got it all right!

[@sujaykadam99]

Do ISPs use NAT for gigbit fiber or do I get a public IP?

[@emanonmax]

Sorry to knitpick here but there are 1000 Megabyte in a Gigabyte. But there are 1024 Mebibytes in a Gibibyte. Kilo, mega, giga and the rest are SI prefixes for each a thousandfold increase and are used not only in data sizes and transfer speeds. However since for binary values the decimal system isn't well suited there are the IEC prefixes: kibi, mebi, gibi etc. Wich each mean a 1024 fold increase (= 2^10). The corresponding suffixes are Ki, Mi, Gi etc. Also because I myself get them mixed up as well: B is a byte and b is a bit. So 4Kib would be 4 Kibibits = 4,096 Kilobits = 512 Kilobyte and 3GB would be 3 Gigabytes = ~2,794 Gegibytes = ~22,352 Gegibit.

There is a bit of a disconnect with this topic: At multi-gigbit speeds you might be limited to a small fraction for any single data connection, but likely can make use of multiple connections. For instance what if 1 person was uploading a youtube video, while another person was download a game, and another streaming via twitch or some other platform. Usually 10 Gbit is intended for many users sharing the same data pipe at the same time.

[@Shogoeu]

With that speed, the two of them can browse those explicit websites very quickly.

Great video guys! Lots of good info and suggestions for improving a sluggish home or office network. Just a suggestion for testing 10Gb performance, you can pick up something like a Viavi T-BERD 6000/8000 these days for just a couple of thousand or so on eBay, and SFP's are getting ridiculously cheap. Just need to make sure it is optioned out for the services you need (most are). Then you can do all sorts of testing and get consistent results. Its great for finding crappy switches and Ethernet cables, and other bottle necks. I've had some compatibility issues with the 10 Gb copper Ethernet SFP's (the Viavi thinks they are optical devices) and I haven't really dug down to see what works best since most of the stuff I deal with is optical so you will have to do a little experimenting to find a good 10Gb SFP that will work since I have no idea. By the way, higher data rate communications typically will result in slightly lower latency than existing networks since the higher speed packets take less time to get decoded/processed so they can be acknowledged/replied to faster, but as you suggested, they don't travel any faster through the medium (fiber/copper) so the improvement is only marginal.
