New Interface Graph Options

We’ve added some new graphing options for the interface traffic graphs available to our Colocation, Dedicated Server, and Internet Access customers. Previously the account control center only displayed a 24-hour live (with 15 minute delay) graph; interface graphs are now available with as little as a 5 minute delay from live traffic and with several viewing options from 12-hours to a month.

Default 24-hour graph display. (Note the new buttons above the graph.)
The new 12-hour detail display option.
The new 12-hour detail display option of the same graph.

We’ve also added a 95th percentile line on all traffic graphs, however it’s based on the currently displayed interval, not the full billing month. As such these graphs are not used for burstable billing.

Mac Mini Colocation

We’ve added the Apple Mac Mini back to our colocation page on the main website.

Mac Mini Colocation

The original news post is here, but the quick summary is: you get space for one Mini, IPv4 subnet on a private VLAN, 3 Mbps of commit, and a remote control power outlet.

UPDATE: Minimum commit included with all colocations is now 5Mbps with 95th percentile burstable as an option.

IPv6 with Android Mail App

We recently noticed a problem with the “Mail” app on Android phones failing to send mail when the phone has an IPv6 connection (either via Wi-Fi or 4G LTE). The problem was traced to the Mail app sending an improperly formatted IPv6 literal in the EHLO command. We’ve updated our outbound mail service to account for this discrepancy.

RFC2821 defines and IPv6 address literals as such:

address-literal = "[" IPv4-address-literal /
                      IPv6-address-literal /
                      General-address-literal "]"

IPv6-address-literal = "IPv6:" IPv6-addr

The Android Mail app is omitting the “IPv6:” string in its literals.
