Re: [WISPA] Excede (viasat-1) Satalitte Internet

[Dan Ferguson]

  
  
I have been trying to find out if it's possible get service on this
bird myself. We have a remote location where a lot of people can't
really install their own dish (Dish size, look angle, trees).
Viasat-1 has a spot beam that should hit them. We were trying to
find out if it was possible to purchase multiple subscriber packages
for a single connection, since they have no real ISP plan. No one
has been able to come up with anything yet, most didn't return our
inquiry. We are willing to pay for the service if they can figure
out how to provide it. 

So if anyone makes any progress on Viasat-1 other than the single
subscriber packages, please let us know.

I'm not familiar with them but that service
  has got to have bandwidth caps like DirecWay. Also it's hard
  to believe that Skype and Vonage would work well because they
  must be over-sold (high contention ratio) at that price.

Re: [WISPA] transparent caching solution w/TPROXY

[Dan Ferguson]

Hello Matt,

I'll check out those other caching solutions. I was going through the 
ryohnosuke.com website, it's in Spanish (Via google translate). The main 
company referred me to him to coordinate since he speaks English.

To get it setup in the Mikrotik it took a couple of mangle prerouting 
rules and a route with a routing mark. It actually just routes the 
traffic to the cache instead of redirect, this keeps the transparency 
working nicely. If I disable the mangle rules then nothing goes through 
the cache.

[WISPA] transparent caching solution w/TPROXY

[Dan Ferguson]

Hello,

We have a site that costs @ $3800/month for (shared) 3Mbps/512Kbps 
(Satellite), so we have been caching with Mikrotik proxy since the 
beginning (1998). I found a caching system that works well and caches 
videos and other types of traffic. If anyone is in the same situation 
you may want to check out Thundercache. It's a little tough because the 
sites using it are mostly in Spanish. I have 400GB of cache on it (3 
drives). Now the users will be able to be cached and retain their public 
IP.

I thought someone out there might need this also.

Best,

- Dan

Re: [WISPA] Akamai / other caching servers

We pay @ 4K/month for 3Mbps/512Kbps for a rural town, which is
really 3Mbps on a 5x oversell. It's really ugly, so caching is a
must. There is no hope for a better future either 8(.

[WISPA] Service in Germany

Hello,

I am trying to find any additional information on deployment in Germany. 
Aside from the frequency regulations from the EU are there any other 
regulations that need to be considered when deploying in Germany? I have 
been looking for a while and thought I should ask to see if anyone here 
has a link they could share.

Thanks,

Re: [WISPA] traffic reporting

[Dan Ferguson]

This is a great tool and it seems to work beautifully. It will scan 
network traffic for viruses, spam, intrusion detection, and much more.

It's called untangle and it's free to use. Installation and setup are 
brain dead easy and you can easily enable or disable any features you 
want. Open source, Linux, etc...

It will log all http traffic and graphs usage.

Everyone should give this a spin if they haven't seen it..

I posted this message a few months ago, and never found anything that

I have several school districts looking for a way to monitor their 
internet traffic. They want to see where each IP address is going, etc. 
They do NOT need filtering or any bandwidth management or anything like 
that... just a reporting system. It can't be a proxy system or anything 
that will require them to change all the client settings.

I would prefer some type of a linux solution that I could put on a box 
with two ethernet ports and just run as transparent bridging.

Any suggestions?

Re: [WISPA] Emergency request for a RB532

[Dan Ferguson]

Try counter to counter directly at the airline. They call it goldstreak 
here. It's not too expensive here ($50) and they will take it from 
counter to counter at another airport that has a similar service and a 
direct flight. They probably have something similar down there that you 
can use. Just takes the time of the flight plus a few hours. I know 
Alaska Airlines has it but others probably do also.

Yeah I did know that.

I did some quick pricing and the cost was more than the 532!
