Re: [Sks-devel] sks-network

2011-05-21 Thread Scott Grayban
If you had read the second and third emails about this I was first
accused of trying to set rules which was not the case.

Second my answer was nearly the same one just given to me after I asked
for peering see Sebastian Urbach email ->
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/sks-devel/2011-05/msg00030.html

When I replied I was jumped on for trying to set rules which wasn't my
intentions... when I was still getting flak I replied that wouldn't want
to peer with anyone that had dynamic IP's and that went viral and me
being attack.

Frankly I don't care if the peering is done via rag-tag rules that
aren't posted any place, but according to Sebastian others feel the same
about static IP's and permanent connection and I have the same thoughts
because peering should be stable and not run with dynamic IP's even
if people here want to call it semi-static it is still dynamic.

Part of that may be my fault: when I wrote the
http://code.google.com/p/sks-keyserver/wiki/Peering document, I went
through various steps I considered useful and drafted an email template
of "things that various people would like to see, that demonstrated that
you read instruction and have clue and is most likely to get you peers"
(connectivity, location, age of key-dump, proving that you *have* loaded
a key-dump, etc).

I don't think format requirements count anywhere near as much as content
requirements :) and I just tried to give good advice.  If other people
are regarding it as a mandate then I've erred.  Advice for tuning the
wiki page contents appreciated.

Hello Scott,

If I am right, your first message to this list was just three days ago,
requesting peers for a new server installation.

IMHO, it is impolite to tell a community what rules they should adhere to,
if you're welcomed to that community only three days ago. This is especially
the case if you are touching subjects that have been discussed (long) before.

If you don't feel comfortable in our small community of SKS server admins
and with the rules we (seem to) adhere to, then don't bother and find other
SKS server admins to peer with and set up your own network of SKS servers.

My apologies for being slow.  Getting those patches uploaded had just

That said, I'll try to be more responsive than I have been in reviewing and

Well, if we're being correct about it... all IPs are dynamic.  "Static" just 
means "for a given time frame, it doesn't change."  I have one friend who's had 
the same IP address on a DHCP lease from his cable provider for over four years 
now: is that a static IP, or is the fact that it could change tomorrow enough 
to make it dynamic?

You are free to make whatever policy you want for your own servers.  For me, I 
find that it's more useful to worry about "can I resolve this hostname?" than 
it is to worry about whether an IP changes.

> A decent pipe -- we all know that anything less then a 1mb pipe is just
> going to cause issues.

I don't know this.  Given the typical bandwidth used by SKS, a 128k ISDN line 
would seem perfectly adequate.  The test should be, "do you have enough spare 
capacity to effectively participate," not "do you meet this arbitrary 
requirement."

If I'm using a 1.544 MB/s T1 line to BitTorrent ISOs, well, I wouldn't consider 
that to be a great setup for a keyserver: although I meet the arbitrary 1Mb 
cutoff, I likely don't have enough spare capacity to effectively participate.

(In fairness, you make this point yourself later on, which confuses me: why do 
you maintain both that it's spare capacity which is needed, as well as an 
arbitrary cutoff of 1Mb/sec?  The two claims seem contradictory.)

> If there aren't standards set now what will happen in a couple years?

I imagine that in a couple of years we will continue to run according to "loose 
consensus and available servers."

I often shell into my server and use it to log into MUDs.  Why should that

Sure there are: I have a TWC dynamically assigned IP address at
keye.rpm5.org. It changes like once a year, and is in user for IPv6 tunneling
and more.

Other orgs change their static IP's more often than TWC changes my dynamically
assiged IP. That's gud enuf to qualify for "semi-static IP's" for some 
reasonable
definition of "semi-static".

I won't peer with people that do not have a static IP. The whole idea
about peering is to provide stability throughout the network pool. If
this isn't part of the peering rules it should be.

And there is no such thing as semi-static IP's it's static or
dynamic, if we are going to explain dns let's be correct about it :)

A decent pipe -- we all know that anything less then a 1mb pipe is just
going to cause issues. First, down/up are never the same speed, down is
usually faster then up and most ISP's don't offer a up faster then
256/512 unless you have your own T1 or faster line. Some newer DSLv2
lines offer a better up/down ratio but that is few and far between
especially in North America.

If people are wanting to peer using a home desktop and they are playing
games/movies that will impact the purpose of peering. Bandwidth will be
sucked dry in no time backing up everything.

If there aren't standards set now what will happen in a couple years ?
Every IT organization has some sort of peering rules and if SKS peering
doesn't them we can't even prove we have a stable pool of servers.
Imagine root dns servers done this way.

I have no intentions of stirring up a bees nest but maybe SKS should
have some standards to enforce. I personally want to be sure I am
peering with stable servers and not some desktop a person uses to play
games on.

BTW my dns does have the LOC record.

These may be your strict requirements, but I've not ever seen them expressed by
the community and I've been here a while.

The only people for whom static IPs for peers are important are those running
strict firewalls and only allowing traffic from designated peers.  About the
only thing I can think of that is a "strict" requirement is that a machine be
able to be reliably reached through the DNS.  Cable and DSL connections are
subject to changing address. From my experience, the frequency varies from when
the operator does network maintenance in the case of T-W to every time the modem
burps in the case of AT&T.

What's a decent net pipe? I'll agree it not dialup. But what about ISDN? One of
my servers does quite adequately on a 3M/512k DSL connection (It's the max AT&T
has in my area without subscribing to U-Verse.)

We ask folks to use a recent dump, but it's not carved in stone, neither is
knowing where they got it.

There has never been a set format requirement for the email seeking peers.
There's been a suggestion or two, but I don't recall a vote.

A recommendation I'd like to propose is that each host also have a LOC record in
DNS. This would facilitate physically mapping peers. See
http://hewgill.com/tools/dnsloc for an example application.
keyserver.gingerbear.net may be used as input.

The strict requirement is, "your machine's IP address must be reliably 
accessible via DNS."  So long as that's met, it's all good.

And even then, "strict requirements" are more "the community of SKS keyserver 
operators expects this, unless you've got some really compelling reason 
otherwise."  If you were running an SKS keyserver on the moon and were only 
accessible via an IP address which changed daily and no DNS, I have no doubt 
keyserver operators would be lining up to peer with you anyway just for the 
geek cred of being able to say "I'm peering with Free Luna!"  :)

You might find:

Walks you through double-checking things, tuning, adding peers, etc.

Hello Scott,

of course there are static IPv4/6 addresses and it is _not_ a dialin
connection.

See http://key.ip6.li:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats for details regarding
SKS stats.

key.ip6.li resolves to both IPv4 and IPv6
