1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:10,160
so it's finally the day we are going from gigabit fiber internet to 10

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:14,799
gigabit internet on our own

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,760
dedicated wavelength so behind this door

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:22,960
is my friends danny and chad from ital who are going to be helping me with this

5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:27,760
little upgrade by the end of which we will have literally 10

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,559
times the bandwidth that we have currently to the main harbor exchange in

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,239
vancouver with glasswire you can instantly see

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,800
your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,760
apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus and get 25 off at the

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:53,280
link below

11
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,559
okay so step one uh collect underpants

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,440
step two we need to look at these two electrical

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,840
rooms this one is building a is that correct

14
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,240
and then we also need to take a look inside the electrical room of building f

15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:16,320
because my understanding is that maybe you could help find it for me the main

16
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,159
fiber connection to telus is coming into

17
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,479
this building is that right yeah so here we found it this is the telus fiber

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,119
optic cable that is coming in from the street this is a it's a beefy it's a

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,759
beefy boy but you can actually see there's a reason for that

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,240
here we are so that right there is all

21
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:39,200
of the fiber strands that are protected not just by this orange and blue shea

22
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,640
thing but then also by this thick black sheathing around the outside so we can

23
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,000
tell three pairs so each one of these is a

24
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,920
send and receive pair but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can only have

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,000
three fiber optic connections running into this entire complex of business

26
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,759
units so one of the pairs here has actually been

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,640
there we go uh run into this guy so this is a cwdm and this takes a single 10

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,039
gigabit wavelength and then it is splitting it out into ten one gigabit

29
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,120
connections so our old connection actually runs off of this puppy right

30
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,440
here and then we just had two entire pairs that's what that would

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,440
be called dark fiber is that correct we're just not doing not doing anything

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:29,120
at all so now aha you can see here minus media group

33
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:34,480
gets its own so we're running off of three and four that are dedicated just

34
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,920
to us now we're gonna take ah there we go this right here and we're gonna plug

35
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,959
in the one that's sitting up on the top and instead of going into our gigabit

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,440
gear it's now gonna go into our 10 gig gear

37
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,519
now you guys said this was some kind of switch what was the brand of it

38
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,840
so what this sienna switch does is it allows itel to constantly monitor the

39
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,760
speed that we're getting make sure that nothing's going down there's no hiccups

40
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,920
or anything like that and then it's basically just going to pass through

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,800
over to building f where it will then carry over to our server room so to isp

42
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,760
or data center guys who work with this kind of stuff all the time i might as well be making a video about a

43
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,000
screwdriver i suppose but for those of you who don't i want to take this

44
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,680
opportunity because we're not ready to cut over to this yet we've got to make

45
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,159
sure that the transceiver on the other end in our server room matches this one

46
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,480
before we can go ahead and just pop the fibers in i wanted to show you

47
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:36,319
guys exactly what kind of gear we're looking at so this is a long-haul 10

48
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,760
gigabit transceiver so our fibers go in here

49
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,640
and then they are converted to copper signals that your computer or your

50
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:48,720
router or your switch in this case can understand and there's all kinds of

51
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,720
different types of these things everything from

52
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:56,959
10 kilometer long range to 40 kilometer long range to short range ones to ones

53
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,319
that are designed to carry a single wavelength the ones that are designed to

54
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:04,000
carry multiple wavelengths and the main difference for this one is that it's

55
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:07,680
going to be laser rather than led which is what you'd

56
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,439
normally use for just like one of the cheaper ones you get off ebay just you

57
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,959
know running from your server room to your you know editing room or whatever

58
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,880
else and the strength of the signal so

59
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:22,320
it's super bright because it's designed to go over very long distances you want

60
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:28,320
to make sure they're not mismatched because even if you have two long range ones if you've got a very long range one

61
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,680
and it's too bright for the distance of the cable you can actually get

62
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,199
attenuation so it's all dark magic to me but it's

63
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,759
pretty freaking cool okay so now we're headed over to the

64
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,840
electrical room of our building where honestly nothing really happens other

65
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,240
than that it's just like spliced together basically is that right

66
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,120
yeah okay so this is a good opportunity though to explain the difference between

67
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:56,400
having your own dedicated wavelength and having your own

68
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,880
dedicated fiber run so even though that fiber that's over in

69
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,120
building a is going to go all the way out to the road and to tell us his

70
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,440
nearest like like what would what would that be called

71
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:13,840
a splice point it's going to be combined with other pairs over there and it's

72
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:20,240
only that light wavelength that is actually dedicated to us along that path

73
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,240
and that path is dynamic like if if someone's you know digging a post and

74
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:27,759
cut something or whatever it's going to get automatically routed around but it's

75
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,280
still pretty much a direct path

76
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,600
tens of kilometers away to harbor center

77
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,280
and what we're expecting to see is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10

78
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,000
gigabit per second and about one millisecond of latency so you guys

79
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:49,440
actually had one of your texts did i overhear someone ran a benchmark and

80
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,440
what are we looking at from your switch

81
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,759
9.8 gig well where's my other point too

82
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,000
you bastards i can explain where it is yeah can you can you okay all right you

83
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,440
want to explain it no not on camera you don't want to explain it on camera all

84
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:06,240
right all right some something about tcp testing this is the thing about internet

85
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:12,960
service providers you know there's always an excuse there's no oh there's overhead overhead

86
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:15,919
okay so now we're over in our building so

87
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:19,039
building a was the first one of this complex so that's where everything comes

88
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,600
in from the street that makes sense so we've got one black

89
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,400
cable here we go that comes all the way up here

90
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,680
and then into what would this be like a splicer box

91
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:33,759
like what would you call this sure i'm calling it a splicer box but he's

92
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,039
splicing cabinet maybe it's detecting around and it doesn't matter anyway so

93
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,120
you can see here all our fiber strands are

94
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,880
separated here and this would normally be closed for protection and then it's

95
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,960
going right there we're the only ones in this building with fiber internet

96
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:54,160
obviously and then our yellow one goes into this orange sheath and then all the

97
00:06:51,440 --> 00:07:01,440
way back down here to unit 102 so 101 102 103 and 104 are

98
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,960
all Linus media group but that's where our server room is so now we're gonna go

99
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,199
over there so now we're in our server room where that orange uh sheath that we saw in the

100
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:16,479
other building comes in from the top and then it comes in the back of our cabinet

101
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:20,800
and plugs into this guy just a patch panel okay cool so then we're actually

102
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:25,120
going to continue to use this exactly the same way we used to is that right

103
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:30,000
now the one extra piece of equipment that we had before that we will no

104
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:35,360
longer need actually is this mrv right here which was essentially a media

105
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:39,919
converter so we were taking this fiber out of our fiber patch panel and then we

106
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:45,599
reconfigured this guy so that we could run this copper connection into our

107
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,400
pfsense router which is actually over on

108
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:56,720
the back of our rack so this just goes away and i i get a you back

109
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:59,440
yes good fantastic so then danny

110
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:03,280
basically what you need to check is if these are

111
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:09,280
long-haul transceivers or short-range ones is that right not these not these

112
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,440
we need to check your new transceiver to make sure it's 10 gig my new transceiver

113
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,319
which one's that in your pf sense 10 gig

114
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:20,720
yeah it's just an sfp plus port so there's no transceiver okay then we'll

115
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,639
give you a transient yay okay so i've got up the menu and i think

116
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,400
i know which ones they are i think it's igb0 or one

117
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,719
i don't know which though so we're just it's gonna be a little bit of trial and

118
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:34,240
error here um so next step then is

119
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:37,039
message everyone and tell them the internet's going down

120
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,959
internet going down warning

121
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,680
and five four three

122
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,600
two one so i tell tells me normally this is a

123
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:58,560
two-person operation so you can just like both move them at the same time but

124
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,880
um we wanted to film it we only had one camera person available so i guess

125
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:06,720
everyone gets to sit inside in the dark of no internet they're both doing things

126
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:11,360
look danny's plugging in the other one so there we go so what have you moved

127
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:16,320
over all i did was plug the cable in okay so that old one gig hardware is

128
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,360
technically all still there the one gig circuit's still up in parallel we know

129
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:27,519
it works then we tear it down then we tear it down got it so now theoretically

130
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,519
over on the other end we're 10 gig okay

131
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:35,440
so theoretically i should see like some kind of led indicator on that

132
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:42,000
if it's working i guess right nothing so far so there's six rj45s

133
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:43,920
and two sfp plus right the smp plus are

134
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,320
not showing up in this place okay

135
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,800
so worst case scenario there is a pci x

136
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,920
pci express expansion slot on this thing and we definitely have sfp plus cards

137
00:09:53,200 --> 00:10:01,680
that was definitely showing ixl 2 and 3 before though i'm sure

138
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,680
did they just die

139
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,720
what is this it doesn't actually say what it's trying to find

140
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:14,160
arp requests cannot find matching address what is that even five reboot

141
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:19,760
the system yeah let's reboot normally so while it was booting up ix2 and

142
00:10:16,839 --> 00:10:23,120
three showed as all the devices were initializing

143
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,120
so uh they exist

144
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:32,560
they're just not showing up in the list i think the problem might be

145
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:36,720
that for lan interface i entered ixl0 instead of ixl0.1

146
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,959
shouldn't matter well

147
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:48,000
it's still freaking out about that 10.20.0.74 nonsense i'm rebooting on the

148
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:51,519
bright side we have a link now that's good thank you danny let's thanks

149
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:56,000
danny no pillow there's no update

150
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,519
holy crap i think it actually kept the

151
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,040
configuration from last time look at this

152
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,160
when is ixl3 it has an ip

153
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,920
okay so when interface

154
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,760
um you guys want to have a look at this it appears to be up

155
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:20,560
okay so we're not sure exactly what happened but the latest update is that

156
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,560
uh itels guys are seeing our Mac Address

157
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:26,160
what is that Anthony

158
00:11:24,079 --> 00:11:32,240
why did you have those why were those aggregated i don't know

159
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,240
on our internet's up

160
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,200
legs

161
00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:40,959
got leg killed today so

162
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:44,720
let the record show i actually did know what i was doing i

163
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:49,519
just didn't know that someone had tampered with my i mean sort of knew what i was doing

164
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:55,279
like i i could have checked this before they got here what was happening was two

165
00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:00,320
of our eight interfaces just weren't showing up in this list because

166
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:04,320
there was a link aggregation group set up that was showing up but we didn't

167
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:07,680
recognize because we were looking for ixl3

168
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:12,480
so everything that i thought was supposed to happen with everyone arguing

169
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,720
with me where i was like no no blah blah blah it'll show up and all this stuff

170
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,959
and blah blah blah blah blah the only thing i did wrong was i bunged up

171
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:25,920
plugging in the fiber so that it wasn't lighting up since

172
00:12:22,839 --> 00:12:27,200
then it's been i mean there's a there's

173
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,560
an element of user error you know what i'm sure all the network admins in there

174
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,800
the ones that aren't telling us that pfsense is totally unsuitable for 10 gig

175
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,839
are are telling me why i'm wrong but anyway the point is

176
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,839
you know what

177
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,600
bam it's working all right so what we want to do now is

178
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:51,680
ping our gateway and see if we're getting the advertised one millisecond

179
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:55,519
uh ping times so you're at percent here danny fifty percent part of that

180
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:59,839
response from your road oh yeah oh you're blaming my router now oh i see

181
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,279
how it's gonna be so we can actually see here whether we should blame my uh my

182
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,399
router or not it looks like our

183
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:10,079
send time is point three milliseconds

184
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:13,360
and then our round trip time is right in the neighborhood of two milliseconds

185
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:16,880
there so we can see that by refreshing it here it's really consistent

186
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:21,040
dang so it's all working we've got internet

187
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:26,480
but one of the coolest things about our sub two millisecond round trip time to

188
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:30,079
harbor center is that we could basically

189
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:32,240
have direct layer two access to

190
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:37,279
anything else that's in there so if we wanted to connect directly to a cdn or

191
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,480
if we wanted to put our own servers in there i mean i guess that's probably

192
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:47,279
expensive but theoretically we could do it right we just have a 10 gigabit pipe to harbor

193
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:51,519
center that happens to be bringing us internet now the way you explain it to

194
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:58,320
me we basically have five and a half gigabit to the broader internet but 10

195
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:59,920
gigabit to anything that's at vanix is

196
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:04,560
that right or harbor center it's your wavelength

197
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:10,160
okay five gigs of internet five and a half

198
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:14,560
six six with overhead sure

199
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:18,160
so all that's left now is to run a speed test

200
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:23,040
but we have a slight problem we're going to press go and we're going to discover

201
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:29,920
that speed test relies on the server at the other end

202
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:34,880
having the amount of bandwidth that you are testing for

203
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,360
so we just maxed out

204
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,920
someone's gigabit server somewhere because the reality of it is

205
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:46,320
if anyone had a multi-thousand dollar a month internet connection a 10 gig

206
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,760
connection they'd be using it for something it's not just sitting there

207
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,959
waiting for me to speed test i mean apparently it's got more down than it

208
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:56,560
does up which is fascinating but uh poor

209
00:14:54,959 --> 00:15:01,199
urban fibers like what are you guys doing to me right now

210
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:06,000
so now what how do we test this thing what even do danny

211
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,040
multiple sources i mean you know what

212
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,959
oh a torrent a torrent could work well i wouldn't

213
00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:19,120
know anything about torrenting danny you know what

214
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:24,000
i'm gonna call two and a half gig up okay for now and i'm just gonna do like

215
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:28,399
a fun test okay because technically google is in harbor center right so why

216
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,959
don't we upload something so slight correction google is peered there but

217
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:38,839
either way we should be looking at some pretty serious speeds here 2.6 gigs

218
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:42,480
let's upload it to youtube week week youtube you're weak all right we're

219
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:47,839
gonna have to find something else like what can we what can we like

220
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,839
hit with this

221
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,079
iperf test yeah i need that running on the thing

222
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
remotely so basically there's nothing that we can do to test this

223
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,519
other than hand this connection over to the Floatplane guys

224
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,360
and give them a server here in our server room and then do like

225
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:10,399
a live stream or something so maybe that's something that we'll do in the near future and see how hard we can hit

226
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:15,040
this thing in the meantime though massive thanks to danny and the itel

227
00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:19,440
folks chad coming out here and helping us hook this up massive thanks for the

228
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,279
discount i guess it wasn't that substantial still very expensive but

229
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:27,839
they claim they're not making any money on it so you know

230
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:31,920
you know it's the word of an isp so they're pretty nice guys but

231
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:36,320
yeah i don't know and a massive shout out to our sponsor for today's video

243
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:24,880
disliked this video you can hit that button if you liked it hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking

244
00:17:23,679 --> 00:17:30,160
out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description i'm actually serious about that ital has

245
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:34,160
been absolutely fantastic to us i just love giving them a hard time um

246
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,880
they're they're only really business you guys don't do any consumer at this point do you

247
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:42,400
so there you go but at any rate they've been really good to us

248
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,520
and also while you're down there you can check out our merch store which has cool

249
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:50,160
shirts like this one and our community forum which is definitely worth a join

250
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:54,480
so we could actually host the forum out of here now there would be no reason not

251
00:17:51,919 --> 00:17:57,840
to do that anymore fascinating we probably have to get a better ups

252
00:17:57,919 --> 00:18:03,280
maybe like a generator back up okay not yet later
