Website is reachable here via my HE tunnel. Pings are not going
through though as you showed.

Thanks for the input guys! Sounds like it might be an issue with my 
tunnel then. I had problems getting to a few sites last week 
(http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27265527-IPV6-Issues-Facebook-and-Engadget) 
and HE resolved the issue pretty quickly. I will ask them if they are 
aware of it.

Thanks,
Derek

Looks like CYA on Microsoft's part.

That i've seen,   Windows NTP in physical environments with a hardware
system clock not having issues consistently provides  accuracy  better
than  +/-  0.5 against the time source it's synced with,  but  in
virtual environments,  which have incompatibilities with high
sub-second RTC accuracy in the first place, neither Windows nor Unix
NTP services are able to provide that consistently  without much
tinkering.

If it's absolutely critical that you have   sub-5  second accuracy,
even Unix NTP is not to be considered good enough,     you need highly
accurate hardware time source,  something more accurate than the usual
system clock you find in a PC or server.  Unix NTP can only do so much
to correct  for a broken system clock;  although it does do a very
good job disciplining PC real-time clocks that consistently run a bit
too fast or too slow,  ultimately the
personal computer clocks can at times be unreliable....

If they were perfect, you wouldn't need time sync in the first place;
just set them once,
and correct the  annual  0.01 seconds worth of error  once a year....

that's my appraisal of the blame.


From a Wired article:

That?s what was supposed to happen at Netflix Friday night. But it didn?t
work out that way. According to Twitter messages from Netflix Director of
Cloud Architecture Adrian Cockcroft and Instagram Engineer Rick Branson, it
looks like an Amazon Elastic Load Balancing service, designed to spread
Netflix?s processing loads across data centers, failed during the outage.
Without that ELB service working properly, the Netflix and Pintrest
services hosted by Amazon crashed.

http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/06/real-clouds-crush-amazon/

The GSLB fail-over that was supposed to take place for the affected
services (that had configured their applications to fail-over) failed.

I heard about this the day after Google announced the Compute Engine
addition to the App Engine product lines they have. The demo was awesome.
I imagine Google has GSLB down pat by now, so some companies might start
looking... ;-]

Someone replied to my DSL Reports thread: 
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27289866-

Apparently there is an ACL issue with their load balancer that is 
blocking ICMP and causing PMTU issues for people who use tunnels.

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27226136- 
<http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nsp/ipv6/34197>

It looks like it's been going on since June 11. It's strange that 
Comcast hasn't resolved the issue by now.

Thanks,
Derek
