[WISPA] Mikrotik Weirdness!?
Ok, Im going bonkers. We are getting ping drops from our Mikrotik devices to the other. Our main router is PC based with one of those 4 port RB cards in it. Starting the other day out of the blue the net started acting funky and we were getting large pauses. So I started pinging. Get ping loss from the main router to everything. average pps going through the router 585 and transfers around 4m at the moment. We switched out the pc and even used an integrated ethernet port on the new pc to check connectivity to the other devices via means other than the RB 4 port ethernet card to make sure that wasnt going bad. But no improvement STILL getting pings loss. Switched cables. STILL. Latest OS. Now here is the wierd part I do not get. We have our backhaul radio connected directly to the onboard ethernet port on the pc router. Running a ping from the pc router to the radio port in the ping specifying to use not ANY but the backhaul port as we labeled it will get us around 10-15% packet loss. While at the same time running a ping from the bachaul radio to the router gets 0% packet loss using the same method. How is this possible?

Re: [WISPA] wind jammer communications
Ok here is the current situation. I spoke with my pole rep at the electric company and he had no idea that they ceased operations. He is not aware there is any problem with payment on the pole agreements. How he was very interested in avoiding another situation from another cable company that went belly up and left fiber. He said if they, windjammer, give the ok they will allow us to take over the pole attachments eagerly. Now that leads to my big question. If we can take over the existing cable they have, can we use it? Would we have to replace it with something else?

The owners of the poles is the electric company. Thanks for any insight! John We worked a deal out with the powercompany for back pole fees. It was hard because our power company is a public entity and there cannot be a discount because it would be a 'gift of public funds' to do so. if your pole owners are a private entity, then negotiations should be a little more fruit-full. ryan On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 1:37 PM, Blake Bowers bbow...@mozarks.com wrote: We have bought a number of rural cable systems, and almost every one was gutted, and the cable plant in almost total disarray when sold.

Re: [WISPA] Nesc codes

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Redirect
Well. We kinda do this now. When a customer get to far out. We manually add a rule to the router at the tower site he is connected to that redirects all his port 80 traffic to a webpage that says basically, You didn't pay you bill for a long time and you need to contact us and make a payment to before your web surfing will be available again. Email still works, etc... We will still do that. But what I am trying to accomplish is to have my billing system log into the client as soon as is hits 31+ in the billing system and set a rule on the router board that will now occasionally interrupt the clients web browsing by redirecting them to a page letting them know they are now 31+ past due and offer them the chance to pay now. If they chose to not pay now, they can just continue with what they were doing. This way they are always in the know that they are behind and are presented with a way to cure that immediately. Again since the client is not way behind I just want the surfing to be redirect occasionally. Next step would be after this is gone on and they hit 40 days the next script would be ran where it redirects all there web traffic indefinitely to the pay your bill page until paid.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Redirect
Hmm, Well anything is possible, I guess. But I do not see how alerting a customer that his account went past due and presenting the option to pay it now, is slandering. If his account is past due, then it is past due, just a fact. I happen to know when I forget to pay may dish network bill and I have friends and family over watching tv that dish doesn't mind broadcasting to every TV in the house the announcement that my bill is past due and I should call them now to avoid interruption in my satellite service, they even present me with an option of paying right now by clicking pay now screen button. Hmmm, maybe I should file a law suite against dish to fund my next rollout :) All joking aside, We also have in our contracts that we can limit, redirect and remove access to ports, etc for whatever reason we feel we need to do that. As for cutting off a client, yes we been there done that and still do it and it really p*sses them off. But if they had a choice they just wouldn't pay cause we owe them the Internet. Fact is some clients just wont pay there bill until there account is turned off, period. I am just trying to streamline the whole process so it can be done automatically and inconveniently convenient for everyone. Even with phone calls and letters etc... There are the clients who don't open there mail, those who are never home and don't have answering machines and those who check there email about once every other month or so. This is ideal for them and others, I feel at least. They have total control over there account then. If they choose to wait till it gets turned off, at least with this method if they come home at 3am on a friday and try to use there internet for the first time and see there account was finally turned off they could immediately pay and get turned back on by 3:10 am instead of waiting till they can reach someone at the office the next day. I guess there are pro's and con's... I like it though. I think we would be 'owed' alot less money that we are now. John There is some potential liability in this. You don't know if friends are visiting and using the computer...or, the subscriber has an Wi-Fi w/o WAP/WEP and others are (potentially accidentally) using it. In any case, you could be slandering the subscriber by calling them deadbeats to other people. It seems more polite to hit them over and over or persistantly with a demand that they contact a phone number to address a problem with their subscription. It also may stop a law suit...a typical response from a real deadbeat. Cutting off the service is an option but it may enrage the person to never do business with that company again. What you need to do is talk with them without slandering them. ...just a thought... . . .

No, nothing new. This has been an ongoing issue for years. Does not last all day and does not happen every day. Can start as early as 8pm but usually after midnight. Usually gone before or just after sunrise. (Has occurred during daylight on rare occasions - I'm going to have to start a log just for this event!). Seems to be predominant in the summer. I see it happening to short links (PtMP) also, just doesn't get bad enough to drop. My gut feeling has always been that it's temperature/pressure change related.

Re: [WISPA] Throttle
Majority is Mikrotik for cpe with some trango mixed. The tower routers/bandwidth limiting is done via Mikrotik as well. Tower units are RB600 or PC based Mikrotik. Currently we have a router setup at each tower site and do bandwidth limiting on it with simple queues and the users ip. But we want to setup our billing system so the office help can change packages and we just have it login to the ip in billing and automatically run a script to set the bandwidth throttle. What kind of router and cpe? Much of this will depend on the answers to those questions. But is the a disadvantage to limiting at the cpe vs. the tower? There is no disadvantage given the fact that you will be scripting the configuration. The only real disadvantage is the management aspect, but with this being controlled centrally, there is no disadvantage at all. -- * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/* Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * WISPA Board Member * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] 2nd Look @ 3.65 ?
Um. Amen ! -Original Message- From: Blair Davis the...@wmwisp.net Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 8:11 PM To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] 2nd Look @ 3.65 ? Some simple numbers... $1700/month for 10Mbits. Much better than the $600 per 1.54Mbit I was paying out here. 1Mbit per Netflix or IPTV user. $170 cost of bandwidth per user. Users out here are not going to pay that. Period. The problem, out in the rural areas at least, is not delivering the bandwidth, it is getting it at a reasonable cost. These apps use an order of magnitude more bandwidth than the standard web browsing and email apps we are used to. But the users don't and won't understand that. If you went to buy a new TV and it used an order of magnitude more power to run it, your electric bill would soon show you the error of your ways. The only real solution to this problem is to move to per bit pricing. That way, users will see the cost of what they are doing and adjust their usage to what they are willing to pay for. Netflix, IPTV and other apps like them simply shift the their cost of doing business to us. Unless we either refuse to support these apps, or begin billing our users for them, it will kill us. The cable and dsl providers are starting to figure this out. Blair Tom DeReggi wrote: Why is the wireless world happy with being 10 years behind the wired world? Depends who you are referring by stating wireless world. The WISP providers are surely NOT happy with that. They are just realistic about what they have available. And they are creative enough to understand that there are still markets willing to deal with that, because WISPs have other things to offer of equal or greater value, to creat a WISP market. I'm also not sure the public is happy with that. I haven't heard one public advocate at Broadband public meetings advocating Please give money to wireless companies so we can have slower service. Wireless will be a part of Stimulus grants because... We can argue we'll get you service sooner, and we'll stretch the dollar further to serve more areas and people, so less people get left without being served, and more people get better service than they currently have. In the long run, with Wireless, consumers will have to compromise for less, in exchange for the instant gratification that can be gained today. WISPs deal with it because comparatively they are either broke, lazy, or impatient, in order to meet demand. Or I should say, don't want to end up broke. I'm not meaning to be derogatory in using those terms. What I mean is... Sure we'd all like to lay fiber. We just don't want to wait 20 years for an ROI (impatient :-). We don't have millions and billions of Finance capabilty upfront (broke :-). We don't want to spend years trying to get permits and negotiating easements with entities that care less about advancing our cause quickly (lazy :-). The truth is Monopolies are willing to do all these things. But they also grudgingly backout of their committments and delay as long as possible, because honestly they don't want to do it either, and are even more lazy, and clearly have all the time in the world, without competition forcing them to work harder. The truth is, Wireless providers DO NEED faster equipment. And the Truth is, we really aren't lazy. (I was just kidding before :-) So WiMax vendors, Make us faster equipment!!! That we can Afford today!!! There is a lot of grant money comming up this year. Here is your chance for volume orders, from the WISP market. Give us a reason to stay wireless providers and not to become a fiber provider. Backhaul transport providers are doing their part. But I think last mile manufacturers still have to do a better job. But more importantly give grant Decission makers a reason to favor wireless. Give them speeds that public advocates will be excited about. And give us price points that will let us do microcells to accomplish top penetration. Wimax isn;t competing against wifi anymore, they are competing against fiber. I admit, Its a tall order to fill. But I think clever innovators should be able to fill it. $7 billion is not a lot to come anywhere close to helping All Americans get next generation broadband. But $7 billion is a hech of a lot of money to inject into an ISP manufacturer industry. Lets just say $1 billion of it would go to Wireless infrastructure. Thats a lot of gear. Lets start getting creative with those volume order low price offers? How low can you go to get a peice of that $billion? Manufacturers, Let us know!

[WISPA] Netflow
Does anyone know of any good open source netflow tools / collectors geared more for accounting than analyzing traffic? I would like to use netflow for our usage base billing since all our routers are mikrotik it should be easy to do. I looked at ntop and its flow capture system is more for seeing what is going on than for overall accounting and usage (At least that's what I got from it.) I see marlon is using one netflow collector that is subscription based so there must be an open source equivalent that I can hack to work with our freeside billing system for importing usage.

Re: [WISPA] Running Fiber + Sending Sat over it?
Ok folks, Sorry for the delay in response to the replies. Out fiber interest started because we have a new neighborhood just being developed and they are debating between us and Comcast going in there. Our plans for this one is to build a tower in the very rear of the complex and pipe in the feed to the tower using tango's gigalink radio for the backhaul and then run fiber to the homes in the neighborhood. Since paving is not done yet its a great time to get a start. So obviously with the available bandwidth we will be offering them speeds faster than Comcast could plus voip service over the FTTH. There biggest drawback and the reason for us wanting to do fiber here is this area is like the Jungle and they want to keep it like that, so chances are satellite won't even work at each home because of trees. So again their reservation with our plan is they have no TV or satellite service but if Comcast went in they would. They would rather go with us if we could find a way to get them TV as well. So does anyone know of a way to distribute satellite service over fiber? We could obviously put the dish on the tower and pick of the satellite no problem but how to get it to the homes over the fiber? Michiana Wireless, Inc.

So we need a solution that works over fiber and I want to bill for TV services my self so I need to purchase a solution that bills me and I will them type situation. This way it will be trued triple play from one provider, us.

Re: [WISPA] Running Fiber + Sending Sat over it?
Another twist on this subject. My test neighborhood on this will be our entry into the metered broadband market. We are going to give everyone the same speed most likely 3 times faster than anything Comcast is doing. Plans will be tiered on transfer levels where they get a set transfer amount per level with each higher package level giving more allotted transfer and a decrease in overage costs per gig. The TV portion of it will not count on the bandwidth metering nor the phone services. The big question here is we need to actually meter the actual internet usage. What programs out allow this? We thought the MT user manager would work but it's not going to do what we need it to do. I did some searching and came up with very little useful information. Any ideas ? Michiana Wireless, Inc.

The reason I ask about the omni is because way back a few years ago I got paranoid after I have some water issues. A couple of these omni's I put too much tape and mastic on the bottom by the connector. I wrapped it up too high and thick and covered the weep holes in the bottom of the omni.

CPE will be available in all sorts of devices between 2.3 and 3.8 GHz and yes 3.65 falls in that window. Device frequency scanning will be dictated by availabilty. So if the WISP Market, small and large, build compatable 3.65 networks with viable roaming agreements with the right service flows everyone could be happy.

That said, before I go out and spend a lot of time and effort throwing something together, I'd like to get a feel for what people feel: Here are my thoughts 1. WiMAX World 2008 is scheduled for Sept 30-Oct 2, 2008 (Tuesday-Thursday) in Chicago...with 100+ exhibitors, it makes for a pretty large gathering of the wireless operator industry 2. While WiMAX World has a lot of people coming together, it's focusing more on large mobile broadband operators (ClearWire / Sprint) and the 802.16e WiMAX standard instead of small-to-medium operators who would utilize 802.16d (fixed) WiMAX 3. A three-day conference pass for WiMAX World costs almost $2,000...additionally, in looking at the programming, it seems more suited for Wall-Street / Gartner-type Analysts than for operators deploying systems in the field 4. WiMAX World (Yankee Group) is aware that they're content program doesn't really cater to the small-to-medium fixed-wireless operators, so they've come to me with a proposal to put together a more focused / targeted program on the side (that's also cheaper) Here's my idea 1. Do WiNOG as a smaller sub-get-together (100 or so people) focused on the specific issues of fixed-operators on September 29-30 (Monday-Tuesday) right before WiMAX World 2. Make WiNOG affordable to the network operators (have 2 tiers of admissions - 1 tier for service providers at say $95 to pay for food and another tier for vendors / consultants / random people at $500+) 3. Give attendees of WiNOG (through some cross-promotional agreement) the ability to go to the WiMAX World Exhibit hall for free on Oct 1-2 (Wednesday / Thursday), so they would get the focused content and operator peer-to-peer discussion along with the chance to experience a massive exhibit hall Thoughts?

It is maybe the clearest example of what 4th order diversity, 3-sector cell actually looks like hanging on a tower. If you'd like a copy, send me a note and I'll reply with the 676k PNG file.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Plesk
What about email management for end users? Any programs out there where you can set limits, like how many accounts they can have and let the customer create/delete there own email accounts off our domain? Right now we manually setup customer email account in our sendmail configuration. Would like to eliminate our need to make those changes/additions and or deletions.

About three weeks ago they changed their pricing model from a one-time, up front purchase of their software to a monthly lease. We need to add another server, but are not interested in a lifetime monthly lease option. What is everyone else running for domain hosting boxes that allow the customers full-control of only their domain? thanks, Travis Microserv WISPA Wants You!
