Hey Andrey, I've deployed Cisco Aironet 1300's for specifically what you're looking to do (as well as remote ATM connectivity). They are robust and have great centralized management tools if you have a large deployment. They're also very flexible and obviously have great support from the manufact

I'm right there with you. I'm pretty sure the Internet would have crashed and burned long ago from human error if this was the case. People typically unintentionally bungle things worse than when they mean to. On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 4:39 PM, Jeroen van Aart wrote: > Steven Bellovin wrote: > >>

I support the creation of a "lounge" list as well. Often times people posit ideas or concepts on the NANOG list that may not directly fall under the requirements of the list. A "lounge" type list would be a great catch-all and could take some of the perceived off-topic discussion to another list. I

I think a lot of people often forget that ISPs are actually businesses trying to turn a profit. At my last job we built out a fiber to the home ILEC in relatively rural Louisiana. This means that we had quite a number of customers that didn't meet the density requirements for deployment. Using made

Many proposed regulations are struck down before they become required regulation. Just like the FCC mandates that POTS and fiber have guaranteed battery, the FCC will mandate that cellular towers do the same. This is inevitable. The telco industry is notorious for litigating to death anything that

In my experience with a fiber to the home deployment I feel that the trend of moving away from the stability of POTS lines for emergency service is acceptable for most people. Most battery backups allow for around 36 hours of dialtone. The overwhelming majority of power outages last nowhere near th
