Re: [hlds_linux] FreeBSD 6.0
I am allready a member of current, stable, performance among others. Hence the conclusion of the stability info. Never the less, they do not cover stability or problems of gamerelated servers. /Bjorn On Wed, 9 Nov 2005, Gary wrote: I would subscribe to current@ before you decide to upgrade anything, plus I would wait till the next release cycle to get tagged before you start upgrading anything.

RE: [hlds_linux] Re: srcds with multiple ip address
Lol. OSPF does not do that. OSPF is an IP routing protocol, that routes correctly between gateways by opening the (lookahead) shortest route to destination first. THIS DOES NOT SUPPORT TEAMING OR BONDED NIC'S! The solution is simple - add a port forwarding rule to the NIC's not set to listen by SRCDS. Forward to the IP of the NIC that is. The traffic will never leave the kernel after coming in, so you would get your desired effect. This WILL NOT show up with anything but the public IP in the steam browser. N.B. this is NO DIFFERENT from just using a second NIC as a routing gateway to the servers IP. In other words, if your on a lan, the server is connected to the net, and your server has 2 nic's, one lan, one internet, then connecting to the server will only use the LAN nic anyway, as the final routing portion is done inside the kernel. There is however absolutely no good reason to do this as far as I can see. The ideal solution is somehting like compaq's teaming nic's. You can also do this undex many modern *nixes provided your upstream switch supports it. Technologies NOT involved in this: BGP, OSPF, RIP, or any other IP routing protocol extension. You cannot solve this problem in IP. IP does not do this. Unless the server can manage multiple IP's you will always end up using the IP endpoint set by +ip. You can try port forwards and other similar tricks, but this will be unreliable in many setups. This problem is the sort that should be solved on the MAC layer, however, I still don't see the point. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Sorenson Sent: 09 November 2005 21:07 To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Re: srcds with multiple ip address One thought on this, how will the box choose the proper route back to the client if the srcds server is bound to multiple IP's?

Re: [hlds_linux] Re: srcds with multiple ip address
Multiple Internet providers is supported by the kernel, have a look at: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html Replying packets will use the same NIC as the packet came in from for it's gateway. I have to test once again binding this to 0.0.0.0 but time has been the problem lately. I though i did and it gave me problems, as soon as you start using NAT with IP rule, it get complicated.

you want in rotation. Why is this so hard to understand? There's no reason

Send the server a 'log off' then tar.gz the log file, then send 'log on'
again. You could do that on a monthly basis and make a script easily
enough to automate it.
Actually he just need todo a 'log on' and it will rotate the file.
I have written a script that gzip all the files each month and then save
last month in its own directory to keep the file list short. And there is
no need to use tar if its only one file. 'gzip filename' will pack the
file and delete the unpacked file.
basically the script for packing files is:
--
cd /where/you/have/your/logfiledir/
files=`ls *.log | sort`
count=`echo $files | awk '{ print NF }'`
# save 2 files
no=2
for i in $files
do
if [ -f $i -a $no -lt $count ]
then
gzip $i
fi
no=`echo $no | awk '{ a=$1; a++; print a }'`
done

Thanks for the code and how to archive my logs, but the problem is that with
a one map server the log file grows to 4-5MB per day, and over the course of
a few days the server starts to lag, all I want it to to is create a new log
file every 1-2 MB, is there a setting to do this?
I appreciate the log script tho, I archive my logs every 3 months (to help

RE: [hlds_linux] Re: srcds with multiple ip address
The reason is, you always need to connect back to the same place. This is ok in TCP, in fact for office solutions where you are using teaming or backup routes via this technology it results in less user visible downtime. The solution does not work so well for UDP based protocols. The proposed solution below would work if source would bind to 0.0.0.0, or all local ip's, but it doesn't do this. It only has support for one external IP, it still connects to the master browser with 1 public ip, and this is the only one that will be found by the server browser. NAT is the OPPOSITE to the desired solution, providing a many (clients) to one (pulbic ip) to many (internet hosts) routing protocol, when you want one (srcds) to many (listen ip:ports) to many (internet hosts). SRCDS is capable through it's connection system to provide a publicly accessible UDP listen port on many NAT devices without special setup, BUT this is still a one to one to many solution, not what you are looking for. If you just want to use LAN bandwidth for lan clients and internet bandwidth for internet clients, then use a port forward to the internet ip/port from the lan ip/port. If you want more bandwidth by ordering extra pipe's then speak to your ISP about the issue, as they can provide you with a solution, by proper upstream routing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K1ll3rD Sent: 10 November 2005 11:38 To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Re: srcds with multiple ip address Multiple Internet providers is supported by the kernel, have a look at: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html Replying packets will use the same NIC as the packet came in from for it's gateway.

OSPF does not do that. OSPF is an IP routing protocol, that routes correctly between gateways by opening the (lookahead) shortest route to destination first. THIS DOES NOT SUPPORT TEAMING OR BONDED NIC'S! The solution is simple - add a port forwarding rule to the NIC's not set to listen by SRCDS. Forward to the IP of the NIC that is. The traffic will never leave the kernel after coming in, so you would get your desired effect. This WILL NOT show up with anything but the public IP in the steam browser. N.B. this is NO DIFFERENT from just using a second NIC as a routing gateway to the servers IP. In other words, if your on a lan, the server is connected to the net, and your server has 2 nic's, one lan, one internet, then connecting to the server will only use the LAN nic anyway, as the final routing portion is done inside the kernel. There is however absolutely no good reason to do this as far as I can see. The ideal solution is somehting like compaq's teaming nic's. You can also do this undex many modern *nixes provided your upstream switch supports it. Technologies NOT involved in this: BGP, OSPF, RIP, or any other IP routing protocol extension. You cannot solve this problem in IP. IP does not do this. Unless the server can manage multiple IP's you will always end up using the IP endpoint set by +ip. You can try port forwards and other similar tricks, but this will be unreliable in many setups. This problem is the sort that should be solved on the MAC layer, however, I still don't see the point. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Sorenson Sent: 09 November 2005 21:07 To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Re: srcds with multiple ip address One thought on this, how will the box choose the proper route back to the client if the srcds server is bound to multiple IP's? You'd need something that forces it to answer a packet addressed to IP 1.2.3.4 from interface ip 1.2.3.4 and use the 1.2.3.1 router as the default gateway. Otherwise, what would prevent the server from receiving a packet on 1.2.3.4, sending a reply back on 5.6.7.8, and the client happily ignoring it? Or worse, sourcing a packet on 1.2.3.4, choosing 5.6.7.1 as the appropriate gateway, which isn't on the same network, and dropping the packet as undeliverable? There may be a way to do it, but I'm thinking a router running OSPF or BGP if you can is the way to go. - Dan * Dan Sorenson DoD #1066 A.H.M.C. #35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vikings?

Just wondering, you are setting heapsize to 524,288, I've never set heapsize so what I'm saying could be a load of baloney, but does that equate to 512MB? If so, running that twice is naturally going to eat up all of your 1Gig of ram and you'll probably start eating into swap (maybe do free when you run them both and see what buffers/cache show). Could maybe try 128 or something anyway (I've never even set it and never had any problems, I thought it was more for allocating memory something else can't eat into later, but generally not necessary). Someone will likely correct me on that though, as not familiar with it, just guessing. Worthwhile showing us top and free with the one when its at full usage, and then showing us it when you run the 2nd process I think as it may give some pointers (and also if 500 fps drops normally or only when 2nd server introduced).

Re: [hlds_linux] Wierd Choke Problem
I had this same thing happen to me right after a windows update. I used system restore to go back before the update and my choke disappeared. It was 0 before the update. It was up arround 80 afterwards at times, (altho the game didnt play like it, which made it hard to figure out,)it clearly wasnt the rates, which I had not changed. And I tryed various servers, from my own 500 fps to lowly unboosted servers. It would start at nearly 100 and drop almost immediatly to around 20, then go up after I actually started playing. I didnt make the connection at first because it also happen about the time of a steam update. I had even tryed reloading steam, which did nothing. And I had another computer which worked fine on the same connection, but had not been updated, unfortunatly it was a while before I tryed the 2nd computer and figured it out. - Original Message - From: doomed999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Wierd Choke Problem Same as yours. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 4:28 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Wierd Choke Problem Aside from your server it would depend on who your colo is. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of doomed999 Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 4:49 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Wierd Choke Problem Ok, I am seeing this on both hlds and srcds.

I think the closest i am to a fix right now is typing in log off and log on 2x a day, not optimal but it would work... wish there was a way to get crontab to be able to interact with the session.. anyone know how to do that? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] AMD64 Vac 2
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] If someone wants to hack into Alfred's mind, you'll know the answer. This question comes up about once a week, I've asked it myself. The short answer is, when it's done. I don't think you'll get much farther than that.

RE: [hlds_linux] Wierd Choke Problem
We use multiple colo facilities and I personally have mastered the methods and tools for verifying the quality/capability of them. Contact me offlist and we'll be happy to add your colo to our monitoring that you'll be able to view firsthand via web graphing the answers you seek. Could mean the difference between losing a good provider or being stuck with a bad one.

This should minimise choke readings, even the detail in net_channels. I also have to worry about the clients :) One pointed it out to me because he uses cl_up and cmd at 100 fine on other servers yet choke upto 25 in ours... This is more than capable.
