Re: SCaLE ride sharing

2011-02-03 Thread Tony Wasson
Cory,

I will be there for all of Friday & Sunday's events. I've got a
mid-sized car that seats 4 comfortably that will get about 29mpg
during the trip.

For internet link bandwidth reporting, I'd take a look at ntop. You may need
to enable a mirror port on your switch to "see" this traffic to and from the
internet.

For an internal network bandwidth, I'd suggest using an SNMP capable switch
and a problem like cacti or MRTG graphing bandwidth on each switch port.
NTOP can help with internal bandwidth reporting, but the mirror port setup
is more complicated in a single switch internal network.

Hope this helps,

Seems like you need a deploy script.

It would run svn export
...remove unneeded test directories
...and then tar/zip the rest.

SNMP can help here. See if you can snmpwalk the units. (change the IP
and community name)

$ snmpwalk -v1 -c your-community-name 192.168.1.50 1.3.6.1

On a typical SNMP device you can get the forwarding tables like so:

$ snmpwalk -v1 -c your-community-name 192.168.1.50 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.2

You can usually tie that information together with the interface names
located at this OID:
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

I've got a script that will dump the mappings I can share offlist if
you're interested. I use it to dump all the MAC to port mappings into
a database table and then generate a map. If that isn't working, you
could also dump the arp tables of the WiFi units periodically. Doing
that in conjuction with an nmap ping sweep will allow you to "find" a
good chunk of devices.

Hope this helps,
Tony Wasson

Also -- with long cables you get noise on the cable called cross talk
(NEXT & FEXT). The cross talk is worse on  a long cable at 100Mbps or
Gigabit speeds. If you are running half duplex, you will get late
collisions on a 'too long' cable that would cause noticeable packet
loss or packet delay that will show up as frame drops in a video feed.

A switch is a really good solution. Please make sure to use Full
Duplex for the smoothest packet flows. Fiber is a good solution if you
had to go a lot further, but there are higher costs with that.

>From my POV, Cat 6 and Cat 6e are just marketing terms. However, the
cost of copper cable is usually small compared to the labor costs of
installation.

P.S. In a casual situation 10Mbps/Full would probably work fine with a
good installation of Cat5e.

I've got XE running on Kubuntu 32-bit a few times with no problem. I
also can't get it running on my Kunbuntu 64-bit machine. I suspect it
is a 64-bit thing. I expect you've already installed ia32libs?

R is an open source stats system. You can find the source and many

I have seen this -- it's usually image only HTML spam. One or more of
the images will remotely load and the spammers will know you are
