Re: [WISPA] P2P & Worm Monitoring/Alerting/Control

We use bandwidth shaping on *nix. works fine. currently the profile for 
one site manages 500+ IP based up and downstream.  Its one of our few 
home-brew items. Of course, its all open source, so I don't need to 
worry about support on this particular item.

We were doing quite a bit with our 3640 but from my experience the box 
did not hold up well under load. Be cautious when considering doing 
traffic shaping with your 3640. Watch the memory and CPU load closely.

I like the Imagestream product as well.  It is a really top-notch

no trouble recommending this product.  (I still would say for this

money.)

I can't say enough about the guys at Imagestream. I'm a proud customer, host 
their servers and have put my business in their hands on more times than I 
have things to count them on. I've never had an issue they did not stop all 
other work to figure out and get tweaked. We have just installed on of their 
Rebel Routers in a shack at the base of the tower which feeds them their 
internet. Scott, Josh and Eric are working on doing some hard core QOS to 
run across my PTP link and having the added ability to do the QOS and P2P 
tweaking before the packets hit the PTP link has resulted in much better 
performance. Just the P2P work they have done has saved me a lot of problems 
and bandwidth. To say the staff are friends is an understatement. Having 
them on my wireless is also a big benefit to other WISP's as they have felt 
the pain first hand of many of the problems we all encounter from time to 
time a tower down due to massive ice loading, twice I've lost the AP on 
that tower to storm damage and the last issue was my PTP link going dead. 
Not only do I trust them but I rely on them and they have not failed me in 
any way over the last 5 years.

The only problem is that there is basically no factory support.  And Butch

For about the same price that mt wants per MONTH for direct support you can

with hardware and software support, pre programmed and with the firewalls 
all set up and ready to go.  Great people, I've met a few of the guys from 
there eyeball to eyeball.


I LOVE my MT boxes and the gui is great.  The lack of support is a deal 
breaker for me though.  I'm stuck with them now but starting over I'd 
probably use something else.


If you have the pc's already laying around it's a far cheaper option though. 
Even after paying the devil (Butch) his due to make it work right.  (just

he does, he's that good)

Re: [WISPA] P2P & Worm Monitoring/Alerting/Control

2005-12-08 Thread Mac Dearman
I will second that nomination! MikroTik does an outstanding job at 
limiting/shaping P2P (and anything else) traffic from shutting it down 
completely , setting a "tolerable rate" that allows the users to stay 
connected and download what they want  as you control "how fast" and 
"what time its ok" ...etc or just letting it rip across your network 
wide open. It has too many options for me to even start on. All I can 
say is it is outstanding IMHO

Must agree with Butch.  MikroTik works well and scales well.  It is all 
we use for P2P, firewalling, NAT, rate limiting and logging.
