Akamai ipv6.akamai.net changes

Just after midnight Central Akamai changed their AAAA records from
2001:418:2401:9::8367:8929
2001:418:2401:9::8367:8940
(NTT address space)
to
2600:1407:1:2::b833:9cb9
2600:1407:1:2::b833:9ca9
(Akamai's own ARIN-assigned address space)

Wonder if that's indicative of anything going on with their IPv6 rollout.

when it figures out where I am (i.e. geolocation is working).

RE: Akamai ipv6.akamai.net changes [In reply to]

Probably based on your location? (more on RTT/BGP hops than country of course)

You just got routed to another Akamai cluster. Nothing new here, happens
in IPv4 as well.

I'd be more interested if someone else is seeing bad geolocation for
IPv6-enabled Akamai in the past weeks. One of my networks used to be
quite good around IPv6 launch day, but degraded ever since

http://noc.birkenwald.de/smokeping/smokeping.cgi?displaymode=n;start=2012-05-15%2021:34;end=now;target=World.akamai~lrz

Used to use my Upstream's cluster 4ms away, then switched to switch.ch
(around 21ms), with a brief episode of going across the atlantic
yesterday. Wrote to noc [at] akamai, no answer so far.

RE: Akamai ipv6.akamai.net changes [In reply to]

Sorry, I meant ipv6.akamai.com.

And those have changed since I last checked:

nagios:/# dig AAAA ipv6.akamai.com +short
ipv6.akamai.com.edgesuite.net.
a152.i6g1.akamai.net.
2001:418:2401:1::9dee:4a23
2001:418:2401:1::9dee:4a3b

Re: Akamai ipv6.akamai.net changes [In reply to]

If anyone has issues with the way Akamai maps their v6 (or v4 for that matter), please send the results of "host whoami.akamai.net" along with a dig/host against the Akamai hostname you think is being mis-mapped to NetSupport-tix [at] akamai They will research why you are mapped where you are mapped and either fix it or explain the issue.

Please realize that v6 traffic is both tiny (yes, still) and highly unreliable. As a result, nodes frequently have v6 turned off when performance measurements show loss or high latency, and sometimes they do not get turned back on right away. As with any massive system, there are times when the queue gets long, and v6 tickets are not handled as quickly as v4 tickets.

Sorry, but that's reality in a for-profit company.

TTFN,
patrick

P.S. Don't send me the info personally unless you like waiting for the longest queue ever - my inbox. :)
