Re: [WISPA] router to load balance 2 wan connections

2009-04-24 Thread Martes Wigglesworth
These types of questions make my back-fat tingle... hehehe

The BSD route is the cheapest and still works great, in my small
environment.  You can do what this gentleman is doing but with bandwidth
shaping with dummynet.  I think that it can get a bit tricky when
figuring out the right bucket size, however, I was managing bandwidth
for roughly 80 users, and an internet cafe that was supplying the second
satelite in Iraq with a P4, 256MB ram, and 10GB hard drive in a
rackmount enclosure and two satellites for second tier provisioning.  Of
course this was not in the 20mb/s range, but the band-shaping policies
worked flawlessly.  I symmetrically shaped each user, and wrote a script
to manage unused pipes if they did not die quickly enough.  Of course
this was a build of necessity, due to the environment and lack of easily
procurable cisco stuff, but if I had instituted Asterisk, then I would
have had the same functionality of a cisco 3800, possibly. 

Ahhh Fun times And then I got shot in the left check like
Forest.  Still pretty fun though... hehehe

Sorry if this is too much of an amateur solution for you big guys out
there, but I just love my BSD

I also build into the system a kill switch, for those times when we were
on black-outs due to something urgent, like a death needing to be
disseminated to the family members prior to a video tribute reaching
YouTube, or something like that. 

Worked out pretty nice, and I am still using the same design this
minute.

 can handle various wans with policy routing. We just haven't done our 
 router upgrade yet and handle ours on an older bsd box.

Travis,

One of the limits with 3650 WiMax is that we have our three channels of 
15mbps each.

What is the deal with Clearwire 2.5G spectrum? How wide are their channels? 
Do they also jsut have 25mhz of spectrum per cell, limited to (7 Mhz) 
15-18mbps sectors max?

At the conference today (State of Mobility), there was a lot of support 
suggesting LTE becoming the dominant standard world wide for carriers.
Anyone know how much channel width the carriers have in the US for LTE?  Is 
taht what Verizon is going to use for 700Mhz?

 When there are 3 or 4 other wireless providers, cable, and two DSL
 providers, as well as 5 fiber-optic providers, the numbers don't add up.
 They are using Alvarion 2.5ghz licensed, and they are still having to
 roll a truck and do an outdoor install on a large percentage of their
 customers. I heard CPE was $400 each and they are doing free installs
 right now.

 And their network is awful... I have one of their modems for testing,
 and the latency is between 60-100ms and speeds are all over the place
 from minute to minute.

 It's funny, because I just got a call today from a current BridgeMaxx
 customer that is ready to pull her hair out. They are trying to run a
 small business (5 computers) and most of the time they can't connect at 
 all.

[WISPA] 1 AP and 2 antennas

2009-04-24 Thread Adam Goodman
Hi,
I would like to set up 2 antennas (East and West more or less) but
will not get more than 30 subs between the 2. I would like to connect
both antennas to one AP. Normally, I would not even dream of doing
this. However this is a small valey with low interferance. And all the
subs will be very clse, peobably less than a quarter mile from the AP.

I am planning to use 900MHz for this. So I guess this would be a
device that would connect to the AP with one COAX and then connect to
each antenna with a COAX. So, 3 N connectors.

Has any of you done this, did you have success, and what is the device
called, and where would I get it?

Thank you,
Adam

Device would be called a splitter/combiner.
Just remember, power to each antenna will be 1/2 of the output of the radio.

 I was not saying you CANNOT possibly do that distance. It was being

 obstacles in the way. It will penetrate a forest at that distance from
 my experience. Beyond that you need at least partial LOS. After about
 1.5 miles radius you better have good LOS out to as far as you wish to
 set your timing to allow for proper ACK signaling. I think we have
 ours set to about 6 miles max or so. Our longest CPE connection
 distance is about 3/4 of a mile right now. The WiMax service runs
 flawlessly. We have it positioned as a top of the line service for our
 leased line style customers. One of them bought both leased line and
 WiMax from us. We nearly doubled our monthly ARPU on that one.  :-)
 It took 3 customers to pay for our WiMax installation here with an 18

 Thanks Patrick. It took me a long time to get past the original
 snake
 oil mentality of WiMax proponents when they were claiming 70
 megabits
 out 70 miles. I went through a phase of being dead set against WiMax
 because I thought the culture lacked integrity over all the false
 hype. Then I began reading the real story of what made 802.16
 technology tick. The more I read the more I decided that it really
 is
 a sound technology. I eventually bought a system from Redline and
 have
 been quite happy with the results. It is nice to be able to go
 into my
 higher end business customers and tell them I can deliver more for
 their money through the air than cable and DSL can bring to the
 table.
 That is TRUE. The service flows capability alone make WiMax worth
 the
 extra bucks.

 Now fast forward to this thread. I have seen my WiMax vendor of
 choice
 bashed by another vendor rep. I have seen the same person claiming
 20
 to 30km sized cells in 3650 which is not a reasonable expectation.
 It
 makes me sick to my stomach. We should expect that people will act
 with respect and integrity on industry list servers. Let's
 straighten
 up folks.

One thing you need to be careful of is both pieces of coax need to be tuned
to the proper length so that the antennas are in-phase with each other.
Otherwise you will have multiple signals hitting the receivers of your
clients and AP at different times.

Why you take a RouterOS class :)  But regardless, if you ahve a MT

YOu can set that by MAC as well, so you can control the bandwidth from

You should know that a contract doesn't make anyone exempt from taxes, 
only death does that.

It's probably personal property tax. Many places charge property tax 
which includes things like being taxed on the value of your land/home, 
excise tax for the car, and personal property tax. Personal property tax

is not as big a money maker in most towns and many are not very hawkish 
on it, so you haven't had to deal with it yet. Most towns are probably 
too busy making sure everyone pays their normal property taxes on time.

You'll declare your AP on the tax papers, and send them a few dollars 
every year.

It differs from town to town perhaps on how sharp they are for noticing 
the opportunity to tax, if it's a non-conforming use of the property, 
probably special attention was paid to it's installation, and all the 
advertising you do advertises you have equipment in this town.

All this differs from state to state, so you should check with a skilled

accountant or an attorney with municipal skills.

All that I know if that's required depends on state\local regulations as to

Subject: [WISPA] Fiber/Coax Deployment, Common Carrier?

 If you deploy a fiber only network, or a coaxial only network (100% IP)
 are you forced into being a common carrier? The way way I read it, no
 you do not. The way a partner reads it, Yes, you do/can be. I know many
 people here have talked about doing/have done fiber/coax deployments.
 Where did you land and was there anything special that made it happen??

Re: [WISPA] 1 AP and 2 antennas

2009-04-24 Thread Tom DeReggi
Adam,

It can work, but there are a couple notes and problems Its probably not 
a good idea to do with 900Mhz. However, it has been done, examples are 
Hyperlinktech's quad or Maxrad's tri antenna arrays for 2.4g and 5.8G.

First, you'd be violating FCC regs, as that combination would not be 
certified.
Second, you'll need a Coax splitter. M2INC has one for 900Mhz that they sell 
for their stacking Yagi Kits. (I think around 40 bucks)
Third, the cable lengths to each antenna from splitter should each be the 
EXACT same length.

Their are two immediate problem... Both antennas would act as a single 
radiating element if they were to close together, and it could change the 
beamwidth and radiating power of the antenna combination.  Meaning it is not 
guaranteed that the end result would be two antennas pointing opposite 
directions with their spec'd beam.
If they are back to back and spaced wrong, meaning out of phase, the signals 
will cancel each other out degrating the other.
(Note that split signal cut power by 3 db, and adding two antennas of the 
same type adds 6 db, for a 3db gain, IF there is not cancellation or 
interference between the two elements. This is why stacking antennas work 
when properly spaced.)

So, you'd need to have the two antennas spaced an exact calculated distance 
(both horizontally and vertically) for them to be in phase, with the wave 
length of the other, or have enough F/B isolation.  Tough for 900Mhz

Even with an antenna with high F/B ratio, and back to back, there is a 
chance a percent of the power will go back into the other antenna, so the 
signal comming out of the back would need to be in phase with the other 
antenna's signal or ot would interfere with it. If the spacing was correct, 
you could make it work. The other approach is to have adequate isolation 
from the two antennas, but that is hard with 900Mhz.

But if you mounting to opposite sides/walls of a brick penthouse, that would 
create the needed isolation, where the two antennas would not interfere with 
each other, nor act as a single antenna.

But if you were trying to moutn to a common mast, I'd say more trouble than 
worth. You'd probably be better off using an Omni with the adequate 
electronic downtilt, and mounted lower to ground.

Remember with 2.4 and 5.8 the wve lengths are short and the ability to 
penetrate back plates is low. But 900Mhz has much larger wavelength and much 
harder to isolate. Not an easy task.

In a nut shell I'd highy advise against it for 900Mhz.

Subject: [WISPA] 1 AP and 2 antennas


 Hi,
 I would like to set up 2 antennas (East and West more or less) but
 will not get more than 30 subs between the 2. I would like to connect
 both antennas to one AP. Normally, I would not even dream of doing
 this. However this is a small valey with low interferance. And all the
 subs will be very clse, peobably less than a quarter mile from the AP.

 I am planning to use 900MHz for this. So I guess this would be a
 device that would connect to the AP with one COAX and then connect to
 each antenna with a COAX. So, 3 N connectors.

 Has any of you done this, did you have success, and what is the device
 called, and where would I get it?

 Thank you,
 Adam

[WISPA] Interesting BGP Redundancy Opton for FREE

2009-04-24 Thread Scott Carullo

Ok...  I have multiple peers, bgp, etc...  Normal stuff.

I am looking for someone who has MT, has bgp peers but maybe would like to 
have a little more redundancy just in case.  For example our main router 
with both peers is in the same facility so I still currently have some 
single point of failure issues I'd like to resolve.  Bottom line - a plane 
crashes into my facility and I'm off the air for a while.

If you are in this same boat, I have a solution I believe, that won't cost 
either of us hardly anything.  We get a cable connection (or whatever cheap 
business class connection) that is say 20MB down and 2MB up (for example) 
at a remote site in another city where our network spans.  We create a 
tunnel between our routers and if either side main fiber or router goes 
down traffic can be re-routed temporarily via this connection and the 
down-speed would be pulling from the others main fiber feeds so it should 
stil be fast enough to make a lot of the pain go away - better than being 
down any way.  The BGP session between sites would also allow incoming 
traffic for email / web etc to operate as well - which is the only thing 
this solution adds to a non-BGP type backup circuit.  

Any way, this is not a replacement for having multiple bgp peers with real 
connections, don't take it that way.  This is a low cost way to help each 
other out in worst case scenario for whoever may be in this same position.  
I'm willing to explore options any way if someone else is interested.  Send 
me an email, we can discuss further.

Might be a good reason to seperate the Cable versus Wireless portions of

Even on a Grant app, there could be benefits to calling it a joint

You can setup the hotspot to authenticate based on MAC address via 
RADIUS.  Have the RADIUS server send back the  speed limit (and bursting 
if so desired).  The AP will create a dynamic simple queue for the 
client.  When the client goes away, so does the queue.

If you are using RADIUS, this is rather easy, depending on how your
customers connect.  If you use DHCP, then you can provide a rate-limit
attribute from your radius server for DHCP leases, even if you let the
pool be managed by the MT side.  Same is true for PPPoE.  You can set
speed limits directly on the MT for both types of service as well.  For
static IP assignments, you can build the queues, but it'll not be
automated in any way.

One other method I just thought of is PCQ.  PCQ is a queue type that
will allow you to classify a customer by IP address (in mangle) and they
will be given a specific speed up and down. 

Without radius the automated part is a bit more tricky and your
options are limited.

subs will be very clse, peobably less than a quarter mile from the AP.

I am planning to use 900MHz for this. So I guess this would be a
device that would connect to the AP with one COAX and then connect to
each antenna with a COAX. So, 3 N connectors.

Has any of you done this, did you have success, and what is the device
called, and where would I get it?

Thank you,
Adam

 (customer and Internet needs to see 1500 bytes, but an ISP's tunnel causes 
 packet size to exceed 1500 MTU.

I have built tunnels that carry 12000 byte packets.  Not sure where this
idea comes from.  They can be built that will carry as much as 65k
bytes.

 We use Cipe tunnels to solve that. To split the full size packets before it 
 enters the tunnel, so tunnel stays at 1500MTU or less, required by the 
 transit provider..
 
 How do you do it with Mikrotik ?

Of the tunnels I've done with MT, you just use PPtP and set the MRRU
(just like your tunnels).  I've done this with standard Linux, too.  It
is actually quite an elegant solution.

[WISPA] affordable 2.4 GHz repeaters

2009-04-24 Thread Rogelio
I've got a situation where I need some lower end affordable 2.4 GHz 
repeaters, and the itch can't really be scratched with a customer CPE 
device (such as a Ruckus or Tranzeo).

Anyone have any 2.4 GHz repeaters that they can recommend?  There won't 
be many people connecting in that area, so I'm not really worried about 
collision.  Ideally, this might be something I'd put outside.

[WISPA] Signal Strengths

2009-04-24 Thread Jason Wallace
Everyone,

I had trouble during an install today regarding signal strengths.  
2.4Ghz CPE in a location that should be no problem.  Moving the CPE two 
feet in any direction from the point where the CPE was installed 
increased the signal by around 20db (-90 to -70!) 

Any idea of what phenomenon I am dealing with? 

Anything I should consider as I correct this install?

Jason

Low cost and 2.4 sounds like MT to me.

I would avoid Engenius.  Heard a lot of good things abot the Ubnt
stuff, especially the bullet.
