PoP: deham01 - Easynet (Hamburg)

Outgoing packets seem not to reach PoP tunnel endpoint
[de] Shadow Hawkins on Friday, 29 August 2008 22:48:15
I cannot ping the PoP tunnel endpoint (no replies), but packets from their endpoint arrive locally and are answered. However, it seems as if the replies do not reach the tunnel endpoint as the status page reports 100% packet loss. Also, Jeroen has verified that no packets arrive on the box. I checked with the provider and they confirmed that the firewall ACCEPTs everything, up- and downstream, including protocol 41. I can reach the endpoint with IPv4 (tcp, icmp). If I turn the tunnel to another machine, I (well, Jeroen) can see the packets alright. So it seems like something between 213.203.238.82 (2001:6f8:900:bb7::2) and 212.224.0.188 (2001:6f8:900:bb7::1) is dropping packets in one direction only. After today's reboot of deham01, I could send exactly *one* packet (well, I got a reply to exactly one echo-request), specifically the first one I tried. I could not get another one in the hours since then.

I am leaving a ping6 running on the machine to 2001:6f8:900:bb7::1, in case that might help.

Actually, the machine is currently unreachable. Stay tuned...

Machine back and ping6 running.

This does seem like a weird local problem: I can send proto-41 to any IP out there up until the moment when this IP sends a proto-41 packet to me; from this point on, outgoing packets are blocked (it seems by 213.203.213.77), but incoming packets arrive fine.

Everything is fine for every other user, thus the only thing we can determine of this problem that it is somewhere between you and the PoP, but where exactly is unknown.

It turns out that yes, in fact, the problem was an ISP PEBCAK. Unfortunately they just reloaded everything (sledgehammer approach) without trying to figure out the source.
