[AusNOG] HE Routing (not a joke)

[Christopher Hawker]

Hi All,


I've seen that HE now supposedly run a IPv6 Tunnel Server in Sydney, although I have doubts as to it's location after a few traceroutes. This is from SY4 via NSW-IX:


default.master at cr1:~$ traceroute 216.218.142.50
traceroute to 216.218.142.50 (216.218.142.50), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  upstream.carrier (192.0.2.254)  0.183 ms  0.123 ms  0.108 ms
 2  as6939.nsw.ix.asn.au (218.100.52.249)  150.979 ms  152.368 ms  150.857 ms
 3  tserv1.syd1.he.net (216.218.142.50)  150.751 ms  150.839 ms  150.755 ms

However, this trace is from an AAPT NBN HFC service:


C:\Users\default.master>tracert 216.218.142.50
Tracing route to tserv1.syd1.he.net [216.218.142.50]

  8   309 ms   309 ms   309 ms  tserv1.syd1.he.net [216.218.142.50]
Trace complete.


The first trace looks like it is going over to the US (based on the latency), however the second looks like it is going to the US and back. Anyone else seen anything like this? If there are any HE techs on list, I'd appreciate it if they could please contact me off-list.
