Re: [WISPA] We're being DDOS'd by DC!

Hi, I just bought some today for one of our bigger tower sites. We will install four of these connected to an APC SmartUps 1400 and will probably get 30+ hours of uptime (this site has multiple switches, routers, point to point links, licensed links, rebooter and over 10 AP's). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250316783682 The real killer is the shipping. These things each weigh about 110 pounds (and they don't have any handles). But they are very nice batteries. We have about 44 of them installed at our bigger tower sites.

I wondered about just swapping out the batteries on my APC units and instead hooking the units to bigger batteries. My fear is that the chargers won't hold up to long charge times that would be needed for a big marine battery instead of a little exit light battery.... Thoughts? Anyone already tried this? marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "jp" <j...@saucer.midcoast.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 8:36 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] We're being DDOS'd by DC! I like the tripplite APS 700hf/750/1250 gear. We've got sites with 2 big batteries that should be good for 24 hours with these. I put one at my house after going through 2 APC UPSs in 8 years. We put them everywhere we need long run time, and add batteries for places where it's impractical to take a generator. I don't mind freely recommending them. My competition has already seen how well they work at a mountaintop site where we are both located and has since followed that route in the interest of long runtime.

Right now I have rolling power outages in at least 4 towns spread out by a good 80 miles via road. The power is on, then off then on then off. It's not like I can just got to town A and fire up a generator. Plus, these towns combine for a total of 11 sites! I don't have that many generators. Wanna know the funny part? In Wilbur, AT&T's cell tower has been down more than I have! grin People still had phone service most of the time. One of the cell phone companies stayed up. If there was NO communications infrastructure in place I'd have worked harder to keep things running. Without help and a lot more generators/gas cans it just wasn't possible though. The weather is supposed to break today or tomorrow. I don't know how long it'll take to clean up all of the broken limbs etc. though. laters, marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Rogato" <wi...@oregonfast.net> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 9:22 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] We're being DDOS'd by DC!

Everyone on NANOG has been saying the same. We're actually seeing close to triple on downloading today, starting about 9AM EST. Thankfully no issues on capacity at all on our end... I'm actually surprised the sites serving the videos aren't having any issues yet. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of David E.

Not really, but is everyone else seeing lots of extra traffic from people streaming inauguration-related events in DC? My network is pulling basically double the traffic of a "normal" Tuesday.
