网络状况更新 - 2016年4月

1

他在一月份的博客文章中中,Alex Forster阐述了我们有一个计划来升级我们所有的数据中心的网络。我们想与大家分享到目前为止已经完成的工作,以及仍然需要完成的工作。

人员配置

自2015年12月以来,我们的网络运营部门增加了两名新成员,他们之间总共有24年的经验。 我们的新网络运营经理Dan Spataro带来了丰富的骨干网和数据中心网络维护经验。 Owen Conway也从LINX过来,LINX是世界上最大的对等交换中心之一。他们与我们现有的网络运营人员一起不懈努力,对我们的网络基础设施进行了实质性的改进,并被证明是对我们团队的宝贵补充。

基础设施的改善

状态:正在进行中
预计完成:5月中旬

我们计划的第一阶段是在我们每一个地点安装新的更高容量的网络硬件。这些新设备将大大增加我们的互联网容量,并使我们能够同时与许多互联网对等体进行多用户连接。 让我们能够同时与许多互联网对等体进行多家庭连接。我们的网络运营团队一直在尽快推出这个新的硬件,目前正在与我们的供应商进行许多同步的开通工作。到5月中旬,我们希望能完成这些安装。

暗光纤开通

状态:正在进行中
预计完成:7月

由于地理位置之间的基础设施差异,我们不得不创造性地完成我们的任务,在我们的各个数据中心打开大量的额外带宽容量,以达到每个地区的一级供应商。我们的第一个计划是采购200Gbps的lit服务,从我们的数据中心所在地到连接良好的运营商酒店。供应商估计第一个地点的安装日期为六月下旬。这个时间表对我们来说是不可接受的,所以我们决定租赁我们自己的暗光纤并自己点亮它。进入市场的时间要快得多,潜在容量也大得多。我们可以根据需要为每个直流电站增加许多兆位的容量,而不是固定的200Gbps的容量。我们预计在接下来的几周内开始推出光学设备,并希望在5月中旬建立第一批网点。

互联网容量

状态:正在进行中
预计完成:7月

互联网容量是我们DDoS缓解策略的一个重要部分--容量越大越好。我们目前正在努力提高互联网的容量,并且已经开始通过与数百个互联网对等体的许多高容量链接来实现这一目标。我们还与另外三个一级供应商达成协议,为我们的所有数据中心所在地提供更多的互联网连接。我们将于下周在法兰克福开始安装这些协议的第一批连接。

我们的整个网络运营团队一直非常努力地工作,以尽快为大家带来这些升级。在过去的几个月里,我们非常感谢您的耐心和理解,我们期待着尽快与大家分享这些升级的好处。

    I’m very pleased to see some progress on this. It’s been a rough several months, I know, and I’m happy to see follow-through at long last. Can’t wait to see what it’s like after this is all rolled out in full!

    When will you be detailing the recent changes to the DNS service? Anybody with half a networking brain (which is presumably all of your customers) can see what you did, but we’re waiting for you to tell us the how and why of it.

    Most of the DNS-related changes have been gone over here:

    Not sure there’s going to be a full blog post dedicated to the CloudFlare Nameserver switch.

    I realise you can’t do everything at once but do you have any plans regarding block storage in the pipeline? I’ve been at my instance’s storage limit for some time and given the expansion options at Linode it’s very hard to ignore the new block options from your competitors.

    No doubt Linode’s infrastructure is always the best in VPS, but from software service aspect, it ‘s kind of outdated: the dashboard looks like Web 1.0, docker support – docker machine drive, elastic IP, etc. Please put more effort on your software service. Now, software industry is started transfer into container based microservice, even serverless, the infrastructure layer should be expose less and less to the developers.

    I disagree with Docker support. It’s too early to bet on it IMO. I like VPS because it’s a bare-metal solution.

    Elastic IP would be nice in theory, but not in the way AWS does it, please. One of my apps needs to bind multiple IPs to a socket, which is simply impossible with AWS. I hated it when I had to learn their proprietary way of doing on everything.

    If you want an encapsulated infrastructure layer, go with PaaS like Heroku.

    If Web 1.0 dashboard is working fine and secure, I see no reason to change that; since anytime you could write your favorite fancy Web-UI with Linode API.

    Time-to-time DDoS packet-drop and Tokyo-sold-out(KVM announced for ~1 year) shall be resolved ASAP.

    Nice! 🙂 I can’t believe I missed this announcement. Credit where due.

    Glad you’re beefing up your network capacity. But this doesn’t change a thing for us: customers of yours that get DDOSed will still be booted off your platform. That is pretty harsh. Yes, there are services such as Cloudflare which protects websites cheaply but what about FTP, SSH + other random ports applications use? You really should offer some kind of paid DDOS protection service with all that bandwidth you’re buying, which can be turned on with a flick of the switch. We’re running our external firewalls with a DDOS protected provider then routing traffic to your DC and considering just making a switch to have everything under one roof.

    There isn’t anything in the line at the time, but it’s certainly something that is always considered! Linode has always been trying to provide more for the same price – cause they love you. Promise.

    Touching up the look and infrastructure is something always considered as well, and our engineers have been working on this, actually! You can find their progress on it (as well as a github to the project) here:

    “The provider estimated a late June install date…”.

    Should’ve gone with “the provider”. It’s almost September and you’re still single-homed in Atlanta.

    Which data centers are complete on this now? Is there a schedule that we can see?
