[WISPA] SF Earthlink Study

2007-01-16 Thread Kimo Crossman
(thank you for your insightful input Ralph)

From: "Ralph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Numbering my responses to Kimo's questions:


1. Right now, a handful of cities (I think they are the 3 Metro-Fi cities in
Silicon Valley, plus Mtn View) are getting 1Mb. This is totally dependent of
the depth of the pockets of Metro-Fi's backers and on the advertising
revenues.  Ever play with a puppy in a pet store? They are so cute, you just
have to take it home.  If the business model doesn't pay out i.e.: They
don't get enough paying subscribers or they don't get the revenue from the
ads, then you will see it change. Not saying that was Metricom's demise, but
they had few users and any Metro network takes gobs of money to build out.
I've seen it first hand... With this model and with the equipment that will
be used in SF. It ain't free and it ain't cheap!

(kimo)
I agree with you- I think Metro-Fi's model still has yet to be proved a 
success.  On the other hand ATT is doing Portland Oregon with them so there may 
be more developing on this.


2. So Seattle will have it in 10 years.  By then, there will be something
bigger and better. Will the SF residents have to wait 10 years too?  Not
something I'd be willing to do- especially when I was faced with a proposal
from someone who will do it for free and assume all the risk.  What has SF
got to lose?

(kimo)
The EarthLink deal doesn't compare favorably with what other cities are getting 
-  Why should SF settle?  Sf already has more hotspots than any other city in 
the nation.  It is not hard to find a free hotspot currently.  SF shouldn't 
lock itself in to what is effectively a 16 year monopoly deal with tech that is 
already dated.


3.  Milpitas, CA.  No tall residential buildings (but some are under
construction.  A 24-30 ft high access point with the relatively low gain of
the Tropos antennas will have a good amount of upward radiation.  It isn't
that much better of an antenna than a dipole would be.  It certainly has
little, if any, directional abilities.  It may not go up into a 30 story
hotel or apartment house, but how many residence in SF are in those?  That
can easily be the 5 or 10 % allowed not to be covered.  Most of my friends
in SF live in 2-4 story abodes.  According to the web page, the CPE is given
with a paid connection anyway, so there's no-one not getting one except for
the people taking the freebie.  Even if I chose to live in a place that
required use of a CPE, it is no different than buying an XM receiver to
listen to XM, or buying a transistor radio or boom box to listen to free
radio.

(kimo)
Hmm ok, well there are more and more tall residential buildings in SF and isn't 
anything over 2 stories already above the 40 ft coverage that EarthLink is 
agreeing too?  Are you suggesting (I hope it's true) that a CPE solves all 
indoor and above 40 ft issues?  I thought it was of limited value?

Hi I was hoping to learn from Marlon - not be slapped - if he isn't going to 
provide useful feedback maybe it is better he not jump into the discussion that 
he does not have time to dig into.

Re: [WISPA] Most Common Questions for Tech Support Line ?

2007-01-16 Thread George Rogato
Kinda got of the subject there, but I've spent a lot this past year 
retooling my network, and support has dropped to a very low level.


Guess the first thing I woul ask, is if they have rebooted everything, 
their poe adapter, their router, the pc's. in that order.


One major question I learned to ask real fast, like very first, was how 
many computers and laptops do they have and which one doesn't work.
If they say "all", it's one direction and if they say, just my mac, etc, 
it's end of the story.

I'm not that technically savy, but I have no problem using ssh'ing ito a 
star-os ap and configuring it. And they work.

bet I will be buying some because he never gave me any good 
alternatives.  Of course for our new techs we love to call them with 
"I can't get my PPP up" just to see if they are listening.


In reality the most questions we get are "why is your Internet so 
slow" and they yell at us because they have viruses and adware even 
though our startup disk includes adware and and AVG.  I swear we have 
been blamed for divorces and the porn they go to see.  It's always our

RE: [WISPA] IPsec/UDP and my border NAT gateway

2007-01-16 Thread Eric Rogers
Marshall,

True IPSec is not NAT friendly.  The reason is because the client
connects to the VPN Server, whether it was TCP/UDP and says...I want a
VPN Connection.  The VPN Server, if it is IPSec, will then create a GRE
tunnel directly to the client.  The reason it won't work via NAT is
because you are modifying the headers of the packet at the NAT device,
therefore destroying the integrity of the packet because the checksums
that are sent through (inside the encrypted tunnel) no longer match the
packet.

Now, Cisco (and many others) allow for the modification of the header to
happen, and ignores the header information.  This allows you to NAT the
packets to the clients via the Destination NAT rules.

You will have to create two rules, one that says DNAT UDP traffic from
x.x.x.x port xx to [PUBLIC IP] DNAT to y.y.y.y port xx (use the private
IP you are trying to NAT outbound for y.y.y.y).  You also need to DNAT
(protocol) 47 from x.x.x.x to [PUBLIC IP] DNAT to y.y.y.y.  If you do it
specifically from the VPN server they are trying to contact, you are
still able to do the same IPSec forwarding to other clients.

PPTP is Microsoft's answer to NAT and VPN.  It is VPN friendly, but it
"Supposedly" is less secure...but it is fine for most businesses, and
works WELL behind NAT on either end.

Eric

My understanding is that the law requires one of three particular 
protocols/formats and TCPDump is not one of them.  And, store and 
forward is not an option.

Hi All,

I've finally found the folks at the FBI that we need to talk to.  We'll have

a lot more info soon.  We've also got Kris and Larry working on 
documentation for us.


First, CALEA is NOT a data retention requirement.  Do do NOT have to 
routinely store any customer data in order to be compliant.


CALEA is, basically, an electronic wire tap.  WE have to be able to 
surreptitiously intercept a data stream from our customer, copy that to a 
device, then VPN that data to law enforcement.  And ONLY that data.  (Unless


you are also a voip provider, then you'll have to send the voice stream 
differently.)


You MAY be subpoenaed separately for any log files or other records that you

routinely keep in relation to your business.  But that's NOT a part of 
CALEA.


The FBI was very clear.  THEY aren't to be given the ability to snoop on 
your whole network as a part of CALEA.  YOU have to provide the customer 
data stream, after you've broken it out from the rest of your data flow.


There are already standards in place on what and how to do this for the DSL 
industry, cable is working on a standard.  The conversation was more 
technical than I can recall word for word, but it sounds like it would be a 
very very good idea for us to either adopt an existing CALEA standard or 
develop one for our industry.  Anyone care to head up a committee on the 
topic???


I'll have more to you guys as I get it.  Most of the really good stuff will 
likely be available only to WISPA members though.  Certainly the write-up 
that's being done by the legal beagles will only be available to WISPA 
membership.
