Re: [WISPA] Intro/Karlnet/YDI/Terabeam/Proxim/Turbocell
Go get some Canopy client radios for $260 each, complete - check the performance, ease to install and setup. We did homebrew for quite a while and it has its downside as we're seeing. Just my opinion. You get a nice spectrum analyzer built-in, 2 minute setup, 2 minute test once its placed. Audible signal strength - no pc needed on the ladder. There are lots of solutions. 5.2 / 5.7 ghz Moto stuff runs thousands of subscribers. I'm not affliated with Moto/Canopy and don't ask me to sell you anything. Best wishes.

My name is Mark Nash and I own & operate a little WISP of about 300 customers in Oregon. For CPE, I started out using Breezecom 2.4GHz FH radios then switched to Karlnet RSU's loaded w/Turbocell. Then the YDI/Terabeam/Proxim series of mergers & acquisitions happened and I've got products from all companies but they are all Turbocell CPE.

For those of you who know what's going on with Turbocell from the new Proxim, you probably know that I'm not happy as they have set out to discontinue the Turbocell client software. So I will soon have to purchase new AP's and shift some customers around because I won't be able to purchase Turbocell-based devices. That's the word from Proxim. So...anyone heard any differently? I've also asked Proxim if we can 'downgrade' our Turbocell products to 802.11b and they are saying 'no'. It's a you-know-what sandwich from which I'd rather not take a bite. Does anyone feel my pain?

[WISPA] Another reason to love the Barracuda...
Our mail server locked up on Wednesday afternoon with some hard drive weirdness. All of the user data was okay, but after 16 hours of filesystem checking, it was clear that it wasn't going to be up and running on that hard drive anytime soon. After installing a second drive, we were able to get a fresh new install of linux going with qmail and copied over all of the old user data. Problem solved, except for the 26 hours that the mail server was not accepting email. However, our Barracuda box was accepting the messages and storing them. After a phone call to Barracuda Networks, their tech support logged into the box and it is spending the next six hours resending all 30,000+ messages. Oh yeah! For anyone who is on the fence, jump over to the Barracuda side. My Barracuda box has been a genuine lifesaver, beyond just stopping spam.

Re: [WISPA] P2P & Worm Monitoring/Alerting/Control
I can't say enough about the guys at Imagestream. I'm a proud customer, host their servers and have put my business in their hands on more times than I have things to count them on. I've never had an issue they did not stop all other work to figure out and get tweaked. We have just installed on of their Rebel Routers in a shack at the base of the tower which feeds them their internet. Scott, Josh and Eric are working on doing some hard core QOS to run across my PTP link and having the added ability to do the QOS and P2P tweaking before the packets hit the PTP link has resulted in much better performance. Just the P2P work they have done has saved me a lot of problems and bandwidth. To say the staff are friends is an understatement. Having them on my wireless is also a big benefit to other WISP's as they have felt the pain first hand of many of the problems we all encounter from time to time a tower down due to massive ice loading, twice I've lost the AP on that tower to storm damage and the last issue was my PTP link going dead. Not only do I trust them but I rely on them and they have not failed me in any way over the last 5 years. Tom Andrews "Stuart Pierce fan club member" - Original Message - From: "Marlon K.

Great people, I've met a few of the guys from there eyeball to eyeball. I LOVE my MT boxes and the gui is great. The lack of support is a deal breaker for me though.

It's guys willing to do this that have helped drive many of the gains we have in credibility etc. at the FCC. The people in DC don't often get to interact with the people actually out on the streets. In 6 or so months we'll want to send another team out there. Be thinking about this and if you are willing to go, save up some coin and volunteer when the call comes down. On the team were: Dustin Jurman Forbes Mercy Tim Wolfe Matt Liotta Take care all, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 12:43 AM Subject: .ppt for FCC Here is report I gave to my customers: I was fortunate to be chosen as one of five owners of Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP) in the United States to speak to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). I represented the WISPA and was the only attendee from the Western United States, quite an honor. The meetings that we attended were at the FCC headquarters in Washington DC. This included meetings with Commissioner Adelstein, Chairman Martin's Legal Counsel and a board of staffers from the office of engineering and technology. They made up the WBAT Wireless Broadband Access Task Force Policy and Technology divisions including the Chief of Staff. We met in a series of one on one meetings and then finished with power point presentations that we prepared for the board. This meeting was supposed to last one and a half hours but ran up to four hours as they had a lot of questions. We face some stiff competition from the Cable and Telephone companies plus some new competition from corporations who use licensed frequencies. The Commission is interested in the "little guy" because the feeling in the industry is that we are the innovators and corporations rarely are. We brought Voice over IP telephones, IP Television and of course the original Internet when the big corporations thought the Internet would be a passing fad. In other words we have their ear. Plus we only come once a year while the corporation's lobbyist feed them false information. Among the issues we discussed was our constant need for more bandwidth spectrum to keep providing more connections. The feeling at first was the FCC was appeasing us with a frequency that was shared with everyone else and in fact could have been easily overpowered legally by other types of users. We have been very successful in providing Wireless Internet in rural areas where President Bush really wants it. The Corporations have stopped their expansion as soon building out didn't recoup the investment, therefore the FCC is giving us more secure frequencies all the time and we asked for even more. Another issue is power; in the wide-open West we have to go greater distance in order to reach areas like White Pass, Rimrock and the Nile. The current one-watt radio won't do that. In the Southeast the WISP's said they couldn't have antenna dish's larger than three feet or a hurricane could pull an antenna mast down. Something I had never thought of. With higher power we don't have to use a large dish but can make dozens of miles. Other issues included expanding the "Over the Air Devices Rule" (OTAR) for Satellite Dishes to Wireless Internet was discussed, securing the new frequencies to be vendor neutral so competitive pricing can prevail, the allowance of Wireless Broadband in the 700 MHZ frequencies referred to as TV White space for heavily vegetated or hilly areas and, preference of smaller WISP's access to regional purchase of licensed spectrum to prevent corporations from lease and squatting in order to limit our natural growth. We also covered a reporting form being established by the FCC to track the number of Americans using Broadband Internet. Lastly we spoke of deployment of Emergency High Speed Networks after disasters like Hurricanes. The commission was interested to receive feedback from hurricane Katrina and how after WISP's from across the country helped New Orleans the city decided as one of their first action to put up their own public wireless network. This essentially shut out the network that was put up to help them by private providers. This information helped the FCC understand how municipal Wireless networks compete and interfere with successful private networks. Finally, prior to the trip, we notified our complete congressi
Re: [WISPA] P2P & Worm Monitoring/Alerting/Control
Like the others that have spoken up here we use MT. Butch does all of the work on it for us as I'm no router guy. Great stuff. The only problem is that there is basically no factory support. And Butch has a real job too. grin I've been sending my consulting customers to www.imagestream.com mostly. For about the same price that mt wants per MONTH for direct support you can get a full year of service. And when we buy the units from them they come with hardware and software support, pre programmed and with the firewalls all set up and ready to go. Great people, I've met a few of the guys from there eyeball to eyeball. I LOVE my MT boxes and the gui is great. The lack of support is a deal breaker for me though. I'm stuck with them now but starting over I'd probably use something else. If you have the pc's already laying around it's a far cheaper option though. Even after paying the devil (Butch) his due to make it work right. (just funnin with Butch here guys, he's THE man and should be charging more than he does, he's that good) Hope that helps!

The biggest problem is the p2p users with their excessive upload, and worms come in a close second. My network is comprised of a Cisco 3640, Cisco C4840G L3 switch for segmenting, and Dell 3324 managed switches. I have run ntop in the past but I believe it only reports interactively through the web interface. I wouldn't consider myself too far off from obtaining an SNMP station/software like SNMPc. I'm needing to implement a solution that will monitor, alert on, and control this type of traffic. Either not pass it or rate-limit it. I'm interested in solutions that have been implemented, home-grown, tested, failed, etc. Thanks in advance...
