Re: power to the internet

-48VDC is extremely reliable, we have also never had a power incursion on our DC plant. Any of them. I’m not sure I’d consider it cheap, but it’s not horrifying expensive and it *works* when you deploy enough of it in a 2 or 3N fashion. -Ben > On Dec 28, 2019, at 9:04 AM, Baldur Norddahl >

It will work fine if you have a good modern router. Consider this; all evenly grouped LAGs are odd in their failed conditions. -Ben > On May 15, 2018, at 8:28 AM, Mark Tinka wrote: > > > >> On 15/May/18 17:20, Jared Mauch wrote: >> >> Much of this depends on the hardware, software and wha

Re: is odd number of links in lag group ok

While it goes without saying that you need the same (can be 5!) number of links to each router in a multichassis LAG, what isn’t so obvious are things like port groups etc. If you have an oversubscribed platform, you might need to look at running each wire in a LAG to different port groups, and

I’m sorry I simply believe that in 2018 with the advanced and cheap ptp radio (ubiquiti anyone? $300 and I have a 200mbit/sec link over 10miles! Spend a bit more and go 100km) plus the advancements in cubesats about to be launched, even the 3rd world can simply get with the times. -Ben > On Ma

Everyone in Haiti had a cell phone. Everyone. Even the poorest of the poor. They skipped the enormous expense of copper infrastructure. The world is very different in person. And these pockets of extreme isolation sound like a prime opportunity for a WISP or other disruption. -Ben On Ma
