Re: [AFMUG] I'll be looking at the guy across the aisle with the open laptop a little more closely on my next flight
Most likely it isn't the control systems they took control of. Probably the GPS. Todays jets are pretty simple. You learned to do all of it manually but in reality most pilots today just take off and land and that is about it. Rest of it is all automatic by tuning in alt/speed and nav points. In fact most of it is just preparing the nav, frequencies and approach plates. So if they can get into the gps system then they could push new coords in. There are some wireless comms as well that can pull and push information to engines and other systems. How that gets distributed inside the plane is probably all switched and vlan'ed as Josh said. - Original Message - From: Chuck McCown ch...@wbmfg.com To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, May 18, 2015 10:42:30 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] I'll be looking at the guy across the aisle with the open laptop a little more closely on my next flight But when the FMS sends a command to an aileron, I will be gobsmacked to discover that commend involved ethernet in any way.

Re: [AFMUG] visual ospf mapping
I did a sort of link bandwidth reference for OSPF interface cost. Kinda how Cisco auto-cost works, which is not ideal when you have a GigE interface but a microwave path that only does 200-400Mbps. But I quickly found out that wasn't really the best design, things routed weird and I was getting a lot of equal-cost routes. That was mostly because of so many backup links which actually forms multiple rings, and yeah, some links sit idle most of the time, but they're useful because rain fade sucks bad. Really just gotta draw it out to visualize path costs and how you want traffic to flow. There will still be tweaking required to get it perfect. :( On 5/18/2015 10:28 AM, That One Guy /sarcasm wrote: Does the dude have any method to indicate OSPF paths visually?

Re: [AFMUG] how much to worry about SSDP vulnerable customers
We have seen DDOS attacks using port 1900 which max out the customers upload. This isn't terrible for our network, but the customers connection doesn't work very well. We generally don't block ports, but I made an exception for 1900 and 5351. We block UDP traffic inbound to these ports. The chances of DDOS/abuse is too high, and it is documented as a port used for UPnP and NAT-PMP which is not supposed to be public. The chances of any other service using these is pretty low. We've not had any complaints. On 5/18/2015 9:18 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: I finally started getting ShadowServer reports which are nice.

Re: [AFMUG] visual ospf mapping
Still wish there was an OSPF(+) that would somehow account for flows. I guess the closest we have now is MPLS.

Kinda how Cisco auto-cost works, which is not ideal when you have a GigE interface but a microwave path that only does 200-400Mbps. But I quickly found out that wasn't really the best design, things routed weird and I was getting a lot of equal-cost routes. That was mostly because of so many backup links which actually forms multiple rings, and yeah, some links sit idle most of the time, but they're useful because rain fade sucks bad.

[AFMUG] Fwd: Usage of Teredo and IPv6 for P2P on Windows 10 and Xbox One
- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Forwarded Message - From: Darrin Veit dv...@microsoft.com To: na...@nanog.org Sent: Monday, May 18, 2015 11:57:59 AM Subject: Usage of Teredo and IPv6 for P2P on Windows 10 and Xbox One Hi Everyone - We've had very fruitful discussions with members of this community on Xbox One networking behavior, in particular concerning P2P multiplayer gaming activity. In an effort to continue that useful dialogue, we wanted to provide an informational update for Xbox One, but also share relevant details on upcoming Windows functionality in terms of Teredo and IPv6 usage. We also include some observations about IPv4 and IPv6 health that may be broadly interesting, especially as it pertains to network readiness for Xbox multiplayer via IPv6. New Xbox experiences launching on Windows 10 will use Teredo for P2P communications Earlier this year we announced some Xbox functionality coming to Windows 10. One key feature of Windows 10 is enabling multiplayer gaming and chat functionality between Xbox One consoles and Windows 10 devices. This functionality on Windows 10 will behave similarly to how multiplayer works today on Xbox One, using Teredo for NAT traversal and IPsec for security. When used for Xbox Live enabled experiences, the Windows 10 Teredo client will prefer originating traffic from the IANA-registered port, 3074, when available. More detailed guidance on Xbox One behavior is linked at the bottom of this email. It also should be noted that Windows supports a broad range of applications and a huge portfolio of great games outside of the Xbox Live ecosystem. In general, Microsoft encourages broad adoption of the recommendations in RFC 4787, RFC 6092, and RFC 6888 to maximize the viability of P2P technologies for all. IPv4's P2P health is degrading Qualitative and quantitative evidence available to us indicates that overall availability of functioning P2P connectivity on the IPv4 Internet is decreasing over time. In particular we are concerned that IPv4 address scarcity is forcing many small and medium market network operators to deploy carrier-grade NAT functionality. This often results in end-users being intractably stuck behind strict networks with degraded multiplayer experiences as a result. Healthy, standards-compliant IPv6 access is broadly needed, sooner rather than later. However, we have identified a few areas of concern in regard to IPv6 support that will hinder the efficacy of enabling multiplayer on IPv6. IPv6 is being deployed, but not perfectly, jeopardizing IPv6 P2P - Across the Xbox One customer base, in particular for customers who play multiplayer games, we observe that a substantial minority (around 20%) of devices have native IPv6 configured. This represents a much higher IPv6 penetration rate than Microsoft's other products and services report, as well as public data from other sources. However we have numerous concerns about IPv6's growth. We are often finding that retail customer premise equipment is configured with IPv6 disabled by default, requiring user action to enable. We've also encountered a very small set of reports where IPv6 latency and bandwidth performance are suboptimal compared to IPv4. Reports of this nature have usually focused on streaming media experiences and user concern that IPv6 is slower than IPv4 (i.e. I get 1080P resolution with IPv4, and 720P with IPv6). In the rare cases where these reports have been substantiated, the primary culprit has been differences in deployed CDN support. Also, some networking hardware and operators apply firewall policy to the IPv6 path contrary to RFC 6092 recommendations. Of particular concern are configurations where unsolicited inbound IKE/IPsec traffic is not permitted in the default operating mode. Growth of these non-conformant configurations puts the P2P benefit of the next generation Internet in jeopardy. It would be incredibly regrettable if IPv6 necessitated the high level of configuration and inefficiency currently required for IPv4. Deprecating public Teredo servers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 On May 4th, 2015, we began deactivating Microsoft's publicly available Teredo servers currently configured as the default servers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 clients. This is a result of limited usage on those platforms and our desire to focus our operations on Xbox One and Windows 10. If you read this far, you are awesome. We will likely request a NANOG presentation slot later in the year to discuss these points, but we want to make sure we have sufficiently interesting and new things to discuss before swallowing up people's time. Network operators and CPE manufactures are encouraged to reach out to our team at xboxter...@microsoft.com with operational questions.

[AFMUG] how much to worry about SSDP vulnerable customers
I finally started getting ShadowServer reports which are nice. One thing I notice is that about 5% of customers still have routers with SSDP (the discovery protocol for UPnP) exposed on the WAN side. This despite the fact that I scanned the network earlier this year and sent notices to every single customer with this vulnerability. It tells me very few did anything about it. Most of these are DLink DIR-615 routers, and except for the very last version of that router, there is no FW update, their only solution is to disable UPnP in the menus. Apparently that's too difficult for customers. My question: is this serious enough to worry about? Should I just wait for those DLink routers (or their owners) to die?

From their e-mail list: We do support an option along the lines of what you are asking. We have an interface up to pull the .csv-files from https://dl.shadowserver.org/reports/ (down at the moment, planned maintenance - should be up again tonight ) In order to be able to log in to that interface, you need to change your mailman password globally, by logging in to your account using the url listed in the monthly mail.shadowserver.org mailing list memberships reminder, hit log in, and check the 'change globally' button in the 'change password' field. An hour or so after updating the mailinglist password you should be able to log in to https://dl.shadowserver.org/reports/ . You can either script up pulling down the csvs, or I can ship you a script for pull down the csv on a linux host that one of our report recipients wrote and shared with us.

That's another thing I hate about Apple, they have to use special names for ordinary things, so people don't compare prices. So you don't have a router, you have an AirPort. You don't have an external hard drive, you have a TimeMachine. But just like some people only shop at WalMart, some people only shop for electronics at the Apple Store. Probably the same people who buy all their groceries at Whole Foods. -Original Message- From: Bill Prince Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2015 1:06 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Customer equipment

[AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
What is the lowest temperature that each of you would normally expect to see in your enclosures? The reason I'm asking is that I'm in the process of developing up a few new products. To date, all of the packetflux products are designed with components rated -40 to +85C (I.E way cold to way hot).I'd like to retain this rating, but I'm running into a minor snag: For storage, I'm planning on integrating a SD card (probably microSD) in a socket. I only need a GB or so, and SD card memory is inexpensive at that range. Unfortunately, all the reasonably priced SD cards are only rated down to about -25C or -13F. which are about ~$3 in qty. Industrial temperature range ones which are good down to -40C/F are available but they add at least $30 to the cost for non-name brand, and even more for known brands. When you're talking about a $100 end-user price, a $30 1GB SD card seems excessive - and probably isn't even possible if I want to meet the $100 price with some margin. So, I'm currently playing the 'what options do I have' game. I hate to ship a product only rated down to -25C/-13F, but I know for at least a large chunk of my customer base they never see below this temperature, especially when you add a watt of power dissipation in the case with the device.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
Yeah... I have no idea if it would be practical, or even work... but it's an idea. I can't imagine that -13F would be a problem inside an enclosure around here, since they're normally going to be enough electronics in there to make a fair amount of heat, but if there was an extended power outage or something like that, it could certainly happen... and that's really not when you want stuff failing.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
-13F would be the minimum I would expect to see. That is pretty much the minimum OAT here and the enclosures are usually at least 10F warmer. I would expect internal heating to keep the SD warm. What is the failure if the SD card is too cold? The unit won't boot until it warms up? I could live with that in a cold start situation.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
There are solutions, it just comes down to bits per dollar. A SD card + socket probably costs around $5-6 to implement, including card. For that you get around 4GB (4096MB) or so. Plus if you're picky about the brand you can get a card with built-in wear leveling, etc, so you don't have to worry about that stuff. But you have the temperature issue. For the same price, you only get 32MB (0.032GB) of soldered in memory. Would 32MB be enough? Probably, but there are a *lot* of things you can do if you have seemingly unlimited storage.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
There's a lot of things along those lines: The current sitemonitor base unit has 128KB of program memory, 3808 *bytes* (not kb, not mb) of RAM, and an external 1MB flash storage used for configuration and web page storage. I haven't consumed the entire 1MB flash, but that's largely because of the other two limits, although the new web interface might make a dent in this. I'm now working with a newer processor, it has 2 banks of 1MB each of program memory (primary and secondary for firmware updates), and 512K of RAM. The program memory can also be used for configuration and web page storage. A lot of the stuff we wanted to do (traps, etc,) just didn't fit in the older processor. The newer one obviously has a lot more room for growth - but when you start talking about things like SNMP traps, native IPv6 stack, https://, etc, that just need to be done, you can gobble a lot of that memory without thinking. Then you start saying things like system logs, historical graphs, firmware files, etc., and all of a sudden that 1MB isn't enough. So, you need some additional storage. With a SD card, 4GB is enough that in this application you could think 'essentially limitless'. Which is how I got to this question. Just to be clear, I have a different product (than a base 3) which we're close to releasing. In fact, we had hoped to get it out the door by the end of June, but I think this will slip a bit. I figured I'd rather put this new processor in something a bit less risky and a bit lower volume than the base 3 until we had some experience with it. If it works well, it will form the basis for the next iteration of network-connected PacketFlux products. If not, we might be looking for something different, although it will be hard to find something with the power consumption limits I've placed on it. -forrest On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 10:36 PM, George Skorup geo...@cbcast.com wrote: Yeah, that could be useful.

If I could have a log of the sync pulse status on a SyncInjector for the last 15 minutes (or 30 minutes, or an hour).. on a 1 or 2 second interval, I could prove to Cambium that their code is broken on the 3.6 450 and it is NOT the SyncInjector. I already know it's not the SyncInjectors, and it's not the SyncPipes either. But I wouldn't need this stored permanently. In RAM is good enough. I just can't/don't want to do SNMP polling of the SiteMonitor every second or two, or five. And 10 seconds is too long, 5 minutes is definitely too long. But for something such as this, you could send an SNMP trap (I know, I know) when the 1PPS active value goes to zero, almost instantly. Just sayin.

I haven't consumed the entire 1MB flash, but that's largely because of the other two limits, although the new web interface might make a dent in this. I'm now working with a newer processor, it has 2 banks of 1MB each of program memory (primary and secondary for firmware updates), and 512K of RAM. The program memory can also be used for configuration and web page storage. A lot of the stuff we wanted to do (traps, etc,) just didn't fit in the older processor. The newer one obviously has a lot more room for growth - but when you start talking about things like SNMP traps, native IPv6 stack, https://, etc, that just need to be done, you can gobble a lot of that memory without thinking. Then you start saying things like system logs, historical graphs, firmware files, etc., and all of a sudden that 1MB isn't enough. So, you need some additional storage. With a SD card, 4GB is enough that in this application you could think 'essentially limitless'. Which is how I got to this question. Just to be clear, I have a different product (than a base 3) which we're close to releasing. In fact, we had hoped to get it out the door by the end of June, but I think this will slip a bit. I figured I'd rather put this new processor in something a bit less risky and a bit lower volume than the base 3 until we had some experience with it. If it works well, it will form the basis for the next iteration of network-connected PacketFlux products. If not, we might be looking for something different, although it will be hard to find something with the power consumption limits I've placed on it. -forrest On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 10:36 PM, George Skorup geo...@cbcast.com mailto:geo...@cbcast.com wrote: Yeah, that could be useful. But why not just store stuff like this in RAM? Perfect example is the throughput monitoring statistics on Canopy. It obviously doesn't persist across reboots. I know you probably don't have a lot of RAM to work with though. Let me give you another example pertaining to the SiteMonitor in particular. If I could have a log of the sync pulse status on a SyncInjector for the last 15 minutes (or 30 minutes, or an hour).. on a 1 or 2 second interval, I could prove to Cambium that their code is broken on the 3.6 450 and it is NOT the SyncInjector. I already know it's not the SyncInjectors, and it's not the SyncPipes either. But I wouldn't need this stored permanently. In RAM is good enough. I just can't/don't want to do SNMP polling of the SiteMonitor every second or two, or five. And 10 seconds is too long, 5 minutes is definitely too long. But for something such as this, you could send an SNMP trap (I know, I know) when the 1PPS active value goes to zero, almost instantly. Just sayin.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
Let me explain it this way: Because I'm worried about the reliability of the SD card, I'm not likely to prevent basic operation and general operation if it fails. There's going to be sufficient memory otherwise for the device to run and operate correctly. The purpose of the additional memory is for various large data storage. An example would be if this hardware made it into a site monitor Base unit, being able to keep all of the firmware images for all of the expansion module types on the SD card. The unit would then pull from there (much faster) to upgrade expansion modules in a fraction of the time. Another example would be supporting email notifications for events - i.e. the temperature is too cold. Without that functionality, the enhanced features would not be available.More applicable to the current design, there's been some requests for on-device logging of enough data so that certain values would have historical graphs.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
Just to add a couple random thoughts here... 1) Part of my concern is not knowing the cold failure modes. If you attempt to write to a card when it's cold do you destroy the card? Or does getting too cold by itself cause data loss. If I knew for instance that as long as I didn't write to the card below say -10F, I just would read a temperature sensor near the card. 2) I hate heaters. However, there's about 1W dissipated in the new product, so there is some internal heating. -forrest On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 9:52 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) li...@packetflux.com wrote: Let me explain it this way: Because I'm worried about the reliability of the SD card, I'm not likely to prevent basic operation and general operation if it fails.

A SD card + socket probably costs around $5-6 to implement, including card. For that you get around 4GB (4096MB) or so.

For the same price, you only get 32MB (0.032GB) of soldered in memory. Would 32MB be enough? Probably, but there are a *lot* of things you can do if you have seemingly unlimited storage.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
Yeah, that could be useful. But why not just store stuff like this in RAM? Perfect example is the throughput monitoring statistics on Canopy. It obviously doesn't persist across reboots. I know you probably don't have a lot of RAM to work with though. Let me give you another example pertaining to the SiteMonitor in particular. If I could have a log of the sync pulse status on a SyncInjector for the last 15 minutes (or 30 minutes, or an hour).. on a 1 or 2 second interval, I could prove to Cambium that their code is broken on the 3.6 450 and it is NOT the SyncInjector. I already know it's not the SyncInjectors, and it's not the SyncPipes either. But I wouldn't need this stored permanently. In RAM is good enough. I just can't/don't want to do SNMP polling of the SiteMonitor every second or two, or five. And 10 seconds is too long, 5 minutes is definitely too long. But for something such as this, you could send an SNMP trap (I know, I know) when the 1PPS active value goes to zero, almost instantly. Just sayin.

I have limited experience with the EPMP stuff but so far it is performing well. We even had a 7 mile shot without a dish for a short time that was -72 but we went ahead and dished it. I am installing this link tomorrow and it is a long drive to the site. I just dont want to have it be a problem after I drive 2 1/2 hours back. It is very remote on the dished end but somewhat in a town on the AP end. I've done FSK for years but the EPMP is pretty new to us. Craig

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
Ok, but Forrest is using all industrial components that are rated to -40C. Are you saying he should add a resistor just to pre-heat the SD slot? ...ok maybe you're on to something there. How about that Forrest? Would a 10cent resistor and 2 minute pre-boot warmup eliminate any issue?

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature
I would agree with George’s numbers. Some of our smaller enclosures don’t have much thermal mass or internal heating. With the crazy weather extremes, we could conceivably get down to –25F inside the box for a day, especially the ones we purposely put on the north side of a grain bin to shield them from the summer sun. My question would be, what happens if it gets that cold? Lose some data? Lose the firmware? Permanently damage the device? I could live with some data loss as a result of a record temperature day. But I wouldn’t want to go out and replace a failed unit when it’s that cold.

Hi Craig, I would suggest that you use the link planner software located in support section of Cambium site. It will give you the best info you can in regards to your link.
