Re: [AFMUG] Coax retransmit

2015-03-12 Thread Sam Lambie
A 48 port DSLAM is about $1200. It looks like its about 1k for 6 ports on
the coax. It takes a little bit to learn how to best manage to twisted
pairs, but once you got it down, it's easy. Just make sure you label the
pairs! Just my 2 Cents.

 I've been taking apart sfp to copper media converters over the past few
 days, and so far they all seem to use the same chipset with slightly
 different implementation choices (more/fewer leds, various configuration
 options, etc)

 Before I just go ahead and commit myself to a design path, I'd like to get
 some feedback on which media converters people use and if there are any
 which seem to work better or worse than others.

 So, I'd appreciate it if those if you which use sfp media converters could
 help me out with a few mini reviews of which specific models work and which
 don't.

 Thanks.

  If that's the case, then that's not cool. I see there's two PTP modes
 though. One is ePTP Master and Slave. The other is just PTP. Look like the
 PTP mode requires fixed distance settings at both ends? And ePTP mode does
 auto-ranging like Canopy BHM/BHSs perhaps?

 When are we going to get 2.5ms framing to sync with Canopy?

 I see we can now turn on the aux port PoE output and it'll power another
 ePMP or Canopy SM. PTP from a customer's barn to their house got easier.
 But that additional 20ms of latency is not so good, so hopefully PTP mode
 for a 1000' link works.

This is going to get interest over the next couple of years when it 
comes to marijuana.


Many places are looking to legalize for recreational use.

The problem is testing and liability. Lots of systems will have to change.

For instance, there is currently no good known method to tell if someone 
is under the influence of marijuana other than a field sobriety test, 
and even those can be argued in court (if my understanding of this is 
correct, I just talked to a local detective yesterday while getting 
fingerprinted for a state security clearance).


Billy Bob comes into work in Anchorage, AK or Denver, CO. Goes through 
his day, everything is fine. He sits in is van at a stop light waiting 
for the light to turn green, and BAM... rear end collision from some 
a-hole behind him. Many company policies will force him to go get drug 
tested. He fails the test for marijuana, yet it is legal in the state 
and there was no way to tell if he was under the influence at the time 
of the incident.

If you are asking about the mechanics of having the testing done, you 
hire a local company that specializes in the whole thing.  They choose 
who needs to come in and they do the tests.  All you have to do is to 
tell the employee when and were to report.  And yeah, there is clean

Do you drink after work? It's legal, right?

What if that stayed in your blood for 14+ days?

If an employee wants to enjoy his time in a legal manner outside of 
work, he's on his own time - that's his own damn business, cuz 'Merica.


I don't have to support him showing up to work drunk though, that's a 
liability to himself and others.


This is something scientists have been working on a long time (testing 
for marijuana intoxication), and they haven't come up with anything 
yet. Not that they wont, I'm just saying it's not like they just started 
trying to figure out a solution to this... but it's been decades with no 
results.

The tobacco issue is not a-personal-off-hours recreational thing for me.  If 
you want health insurance, no tobacco.  Not saying you will get fired for using 
tobacco.   

We were self insured.  We did not want to have to pay for health issues caused 
by smoking tobacco.  Cannot legally mandate BMI (yet) or other unhealthy things 
but you can pick on the smokers.  It was not an employment issue, it was an 
insurance issue. 

Drug use is an employment issue.  But recreational alcohol use is a personal 
rights thing as far as I am concerned.  Tobacco is too but I can point to many 
more smoking caused lung cancer deaths among family and friends than I can 
alcoholism related deaths.  Pot is somewhere in between.  Pot smokers probably 
don’t suck down 5 packs equivalent a day...  Not sure how much pot it takes to 
cause the same amount of lung cancer in a population as tobacco does.  

Kinda a mess trying to keep from regulating peoples lives balanced with 
protecting the business and your pocketbook.   What is a drug?  Alcohol

If your installers have mini fridges in their vehicles, keep an

If youre going to test for a reason, dont dick around with

We run PPPoE and use PPPoE only filters and filter out Bootp server in all

Re: [AFMUG] A note on ePMP 2.4 PTP mode

2015-03-12 Thread Matt
 Just a quick note on the enhanced PTP mode of operation -

 You will see lower latency in most deployments as compared to the TDD  Flex 
 mode of operation. However, in high interference coupled with long distance 
 environments the flexible mode will do better in terms of tput.
 At this time, this is per design but we will be addressing and incorporating 
 some of the good stuff from our TDD/Flex mode of operation into the enhanced 
 PTP to bring back the tput in the above conditions.
 Please note that we are also working on a 2.5ms frame to reduce latency in 
 the PMP mode of operation.

my understanding of this is correct, I just talked to a local
detective yesterday while getting fingerprinted for a state
security clearance).

Billy Bob comes into work in Anchorage, AK or Denver, CO. Goes
through his day, everything is fine. He sits in is van at a
stop light waiting for the light to turn green, and BAM...
rear end collision from some a-hole behind him. Many company
policies will force him to go get drug tested. He fails the
test for marijuana, yet it is legal in the state and there was
no way to tell if he was under the influence at the time of
the incident.

Re: [AFMUG] HBO Now

I don't think the thing about only being able to subscribe through Apple

through itunes.

How do I get HBO NOW℠ and access content?

You can subscribe to HBO NOW℠ using your iTunes account. Customers can
access HBO NOW℠ by going to HBONOW.com, through AppleTV® or by downloading
the HBO NOW℠ app in the Apple App Store®.

 Will there be ways for people to buy an individual subscription through

 Just a quick note on the enhanced PTP mode of operation -

 You will see lower latency in most deployments as compared to the TDD  Flex 
 mode of operation. However, in high interference coupled with long distance 
 environments the flexible mode will do better in terms of tput.
 At this time, this is per design but we will be addressing and incorporating 
 some of the good stuff from our TDD/Flex mode of operation into the enhanced 
 PTP to bring back the tput in the above conditions.
 Please note that we are also working on a 2.5ms frame to reduce latency in 
 the PMP mode of operation.

 Thanks

Looking at ePMP in 5ghz for PTP.  Is there a way to do it WITH GPS sync to 
allow frequency reuse for PTP yet?  Running out of 5ghz spectrum.

why we wouldn't want to use the spectrum and get every last bit of bps.

  Josh, I think you're missing something. If you do rings and a link goes

 another link to fix perhaps a temporary issue. OR cause a much larger

Re: [AFMUG] as anybody use power/unistrut for tower stand off bracket

2015-03-12 Thread Kurt Fankhauser
If I was a tower owner and seen someone put that Unistrut crap on my tower
I would kick them off. That stuff is only ZINC plated and will eventually
rust. I was on a tower once that had some of that stuff on top and some
hilljack welded it together. Ended up having to use a saw-zaw to get it off.

Re: [AFMUG] quick Air Fiber 5X question

2015-03-12 Thread Kurt Fankhauser
I think it is more spectrally effiecient to run these radios in adaptive
mode and use a smaller channel width than running them in 50/50 and running
wider channels! Who the heck has backhauls running at symmetrical speeds
anyway?

Sync isn't for every application...

  Josh, I think you're missing something. If you do rings and a link

You can't 'stack' channels on top of each other with non-sync products (run the 
spectrum analysis). When you add sync, you can stack and overlap. If your going 
to venture into AirFiber, your already past the 'small potatoes' category IMO 
and you probably need to upgrade a good 2-3 links...

It really depends on the situation... there are certainly going to be cases
where an adaptive mode makes sense, but I really expect that we're going to
want to be using sync on these more often than not.

  Josh, I think you're missing something. If you do rings and a link
 goes down, more traffic starts going the other direction, or reverses
 completely. So IMO, 50/50 is fine because it's not full duplex and I don't
 want to have to flip a link from 75/25 to 25/75 (or whatever options there
 are). A link goes down, traffic changes and I do not want to take down yet
 another link to fix perhaps a temporary issue. OR cause a much larger
 permanent issue, e.g. config apply or reboot makes the radio(s) not come
 back up.

 And AFAIK, the AF5X isn't capable of FDD. It's not your regular
 airFiber with two radios, or separate Tx and Rx antennas, or whatever it 
 is.

Hi Nate,

Building on what Josh suggested, you can go to Monitor-Wireless on the AP that 
the SM is already associated and select “disconnect” for that SM.  This will 
cause the SM to search for a new AP.  Assuming that the AP you desire for the 
SM is available and is the preferred AP or has the best RSSI if not a preferred 
AP, then it should reconnect to your desired AP.

Not so sure about that Jon. Pushing it down to merely SD is not blocking or 
otherwise rendering the traffic unusable. SD is perfectly usable, though 
consumer might not find it desirable. I think a wireless provider can make an 
effective case for forcing streaming to SD under the management clauses of 
this order, because it is an action taken to preserve the ability of all 
subscribers to have useable connections.

Seems pretty clear.

I have a competitor that was using a Procera device to degrade Youtube by

 I haven't received many requests for ESPN3, but along the same lines,
 what
 do we tell customers who ask for HBO Now once it is out? Other than tell
 them to buy an Apple TV box? Apparently they will not sell subscriptions
 directly to end customers.

 Will there be ways for people to buy an individual subscription through
 any
 of the common streaming platforms like Roku, Xbox, Wii, and smart TVs? I
 think most of those expect you to bring your own subscriptions, don't
 they?
 I'm not sure about Xbox.

If a practice is primarily motivated by such an other justification, such as a 
practice that permits different levels of network access for similarly situated 
users based solely on the particular plan to which the user has subscribed,558 
then that practice will not be considered under this exception.

I'm sure that I am not reading everything in this document correctly but that 
section in bold seems to indicate that it would be allowed to limit something 
such as streaming video to SD BUT it would have to be on all offered plans and 
would need to be all streaming video, not just Youtube.

The first thing I thought when I read that section was that customers (if they 
see this part or hear about it) are going to expect all plans to be the same 
speed.   Of course, what the customer expects and what is reality are often not 
the same thing.

Not so sure about that Jon. Pushing it down to merely SD is not blocking or 
otherwise rendering the traffic unusable. SD is perfectly usable, though 
consumer might not find it desirable. I think a wireless provider can make an 
effective case for forcing streaming to SD under the management clauses of 
this order, because it is an action taken to preserve the ability of all 
subscribers to have useable connections.

The ban on throttling is necessary both to fulfill the reasonable expectations 
of a customer who signs up for a broadband service that promises access to all 
of the lawful Internet, and to avoid gamesmanship designed to avoid the 
no-blocking rule by, for example, rendering an application effectively, but not

source, destination, or content.

Seems pretty clear.

I have a competitor that was using a Procera device to degrade Youtube by 
throttling streams back to SD (though it seems like they stopped sometime since 
I last checked the Youtube VQR). Seems like that wouldn't be considered 
reasonable network management under this.

[AFMUG] T-Mobile WiFi calling: Works with Canopy NAT?

2015-03-12 Thread Bill Prince


One of our subscribers on a 900SM recently got T-Mobil WiFi calling.

Unless there is something I'm missing, it appears that it will not work 
through Canopy NAT (SM and AP are on 13.1.3).


We had their router (a special ASUS router no less) on the DMZ. It 
would make the UDP connection to T-Mobil through their port 4500, but 
would not go any further.  When we turned off NAT in the SM, it started 
working.


Any other tricks?

Re: [AFMUG] quick Air Fiber 5X question

2015-03-12 Thread Josh Luthman
We're ISPs.  Our backhauls don't really need any upstream other than the
upstream needed to sustain downstream.

Could you first get an idea on what the benefit would be?  If it would be
5% additional bandwidth it doesn't make much sense.  Sync isn't a big deal
to me unless I replace ALL backhauls with af5x which just isn't a realistic
possibility.

  The flip side of this, I've experimented with Netflix on the PS3 and PC quite 
a bit on my home router. As a result, I've set L7 tagging and QoS rules to keep 
Netflix from going nuts while preventing buffering on my edge router.

  My config essentially guaranteed 3Mbps for streaming video, but limited it to 
a max of 3Mbps. Problem I run into is I need a hotter router.

  Depending on the interpretation, my QoS rule that improves streaming video 
could be construed as throttling.

Not so sure about that Jon. Pushing it down to merely SD is not blocking or 
otherwise rendering the traffic unusable. SD is perfectly usable, though 
consumer might not find it desirable. I think a wireless provider can make an 
effective case for forcing streaming to SD under the management clauses of 
this order, because it is an action taken to preserve the ability of all 
subscribers to have useable connections.

The ban on throttling is necessary both to fulfill the reasonable 
expectations of a customer who signs up for a broadband service that promises 
access to all of the lawful Internet, and to avoid gamesmanship designed to 
avoid the no-blocking rule by, for example, rendering an application 
effectively, but not technically, unusable. It prohibits the degrading of 
Internet traffic based on source, destination, or content.



Seems pretty clear. 



I have a competitor that was using a Procera device to degrade Youtube by 
throttling streams back to SD (though it seems like they stopped sometime since 
I last checked the Youtube VQR). Seems like that wouldn't be considered 
reasonable network management under this.

apply to telecommunications carriers and services and are, thus, 
within the Commission’s forbearance

regulation of pole attachments. In
particular, section 224(f)(1) requires utilities to provide cable 
system operators and telecommunications
carriers the right of “nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct,

is crucial to the efficient deployment of

communications networks including, and perhaps especially, new entrants.

2015-03-12 Thread Mark Radabaugh
I think Unistrut is probably fine for the relatively short term time 
frames and the loads we put on them.


Long term dedicated tower hardware with HDG is a probably a better 
choice.   The other issue with Unistrut (at least the galvanized stuff) 
is that it's usually cut to fit properly and the cut end will rust.   It 
won't be enough to cause any structural issues but it will probably 
leave some rust streaks and might annoy the tower owner.   Stainless 
would be fine but it's very expensive - the regular tower hardware is 
cheaper.

Unistrut is usually just plated.  If it's a quality plating job, it 
might be OK, because I see several bits of galvanized unistrut here

see a hunk of unistrut that didn't have enough plating, and they will 
show their age.


HDG hangs in for the long haul.

Re: [AFMUG] Light Reading

2015-03-12 Thread Glen Waldrop
The flip side of this, I've experimented with Netflix on the PS3 and PC quite a 
bit on my home router. As a result, I've set L7 tagging and QoS rules to keep 
Netflix from going nuts while preventing buffering on my edge router.

My config essentially guaranteed 3Mbps for streaming video, but limited it to a 
max of 3Mbps. Problem I run into is I need a hotter router.

Depending on the interpretation, my QoS rule that improves streaming video 
could be construed as throttling.

  Not so sure about that Jon. Pushing it down to merely SD is not blocking or 
otherwise rendering the traffic unusable. SD is perfectly usable, though 
consumer might not find it desirable. I think a wireless provider can make an 
effective case for forcing streaming to SD under the management clauses of 
this order, because it is an action taken to preserve the ability of all 
subscribers to have useable connections.

  The ban on throttling is necessary both to fulfill the reasonable

access to all of the lawful Internet, and to avoid gamesmanship designed to 
avoid the no-blocking rule by, for example, rendering an application 
effectively, but not technically, unusable. It prohibits the degrading of 
Internet traffic based on source, destination, or content.

   

  Seems pretty clear. 

   

  I have a competitor that was using a Procera device to degrade Youtube by

We are preparing to implement port 25 blocking
Aside from the fact that we are so small as to not even be a blip, this is
technically now a protected service?
Verizon does it on DSL, will they have to pull the filters?

I would hope this is covered under effective network managment as it
partially eliminates illegal traffic, while still leaving equally similar
pathways for legitimate traffic on othe rports or protocols.

But then the problem comes in of SLA customers that it is open to, would
that not be considered paid for prioritization of similar service (fast
lane)?

 that section in bold seems to indicate that it would be allowed to limit

 as anybody used power/unistrut to make an tower stand off bracket before?
 The reason why I am asking this is because I am getting ready to mount 3
 sectors on an tower that is 130 ft up and I see some of them tower stand
 offs are around 300 dollars per set I cant see spending that much on
 something like this.



 Thanks Tim
