Tons of such companies exist; BlackLotus/Staminus/Prolexic/Voxility to name a few within the US. Service provided is usually based on proprietary algorithms that may or may not do what you want it to do, though. On 12/11/2014 10:39 AM, Javier J wrote: What about DDOS protection as a service?

The answer is, if someone is using your hotspot, it does use the same radio and channel your ssid is on. On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 11:18 PM, Andrew Jones wrote: > It reads to me like it's not a separate Wi-Fi radio on a different > channel, but just an additional SSID being broadcast: > http://wif

Re: Carrier-grade DDoS Attack mitigation appliance

What about DDOS protection as a service? is that something that is being offered by more than a few vendors? I know of only one that exists through a friend. They basically start advertising your bgp routes, filter out the junk, and send the good traffic back to you. On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 8:08

In analyzing my neighbors who use comcast (I live in a townhouse and can see many access points) my biggest complaint is the the wifi pollution these comcast router/access-points cause. For each neighbor who has comcast HSI, expect to see 3 SSID with different mac showing up. There is the xfinity

Re: Comcast thinks it ok to install public wifi in your house

The technical aside, you could make it opt in and let people who opted in use the public network free, and charge people not signed up or not even Comcast customers for profit. This way it makes it feel more like building a community to the consumer rather than big biz pulling one over on the littl

RE: Comcast thinks it ok to install public wifi in your house

It won't overlap with the one you are using for yourself on the same device. DOCSIS has service flows with different priorities. I don't know if they are allocating specific channels for it or if it's just a different service flow, but either way it is a lower priority and should not cause con

Re: Comcast thinks it ok to install public wifi in your house

Comcast is pushing DOCSIS 3.0 heavily, and the channel allocation and configuration in DOCSIS 3.0 is much more flexible, allowing speed configurations by bonding channels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS But the wifi, this is of course making an already crowded and noisy space much worse. I li

Jeroen, Not that I agree with this practice, I specifically got my own modem because of this (and to have it directly attached to a real router) , however they use a separate DOCSIS and 802.11 channel so if would follow that it would be a separate IP tied to comcast corporate and not the subscribe

In the US at least you have to authenticate with your Comcast credentials and not like a traditional open wifi where you can just make up an email and accept the terms of service. I also understand that it is a different IP than the subscriber. Based on this the subscriber should be protected fro

Curious what the use case is where a photonic or L1 switch wouldn't get the job done? With the robotic system you still need to wire everything up so it's available to be xconnected. FiberZone was another vendor who made robotic patch panels, but I'm not sure they are around anymore. Int
