I think there are some probably at least somewhat real concerns about either 
bad actors using a Drone for surveillance, or alternatively there are cases 
where you need the airspace clear.  This should handle both issues, but I'm not 
sure if either is worth wiping  the ism bands for a not small radius. 

They also supposedly have drone detection gear.

Ya that's not universal at all.  We use, exclusively, the gige-APC-HV.
Works with all Ubnt stuff, ePMP, etc.  Only issue is sometimes it has a
problem with AF5x (though I think a perfect cable has problems with AF5x
too).

Re: [AFMUG] bandwidth management appliance opinions

2018-11-13 Thread Ken Hohhof
In my experience DirecTV On Demand is a fixed 5 Mbps, if it doesn’t find that 
available, it tells you that your Internet is too slow to watch now, and you 
have to download to your DVR and watch later (which nobody wants to do).

 

Hulu says you need 8 Mbps for Hulu Live.  Most live TV is probably going to be 
single stream rate and not as efficiently compressed as your regular 
Netflix/Hulu/Youtube stuff because the video is being compressed on-the-fly.  I 
know we get a lot of people who can watch multiple Netflix streams saying they 
can’t watch live sports without it stopping and starting.  As people cancel 
their satellite TV and start streaming live TV, we’ve been getting complaints 
that suddenly their Internet is too slow and video is starting and stopping.  
Various services like Sling, networks like CBS, and I think also some OTT 
streaming service from AT  We also get the occasional customer watching some 
Christian TV station on the Internet and having problems.

 

So I don’t think all video streams are the same.

 

I’d like to tell people if Netflix works and ESPN doesn’t, then it’s an ESPN 
problem, but you know how some people are about their sports.

For fail over, there is no reason why you should worry. You can easily use OSPF 
or other redundancy methods to route around the preseem in the event of a 
failure. I don't mean to offend but you may want to brush up on that if you 
don't know about it already.

 

In response to the magic about preseem, it's not magic at all. It uses fq_codel 
to shape traffic like they reference on their website and it does Not target 
certain streams or know that something needs more bandwidth. Almost all video 
had variable bitrate now so if you have 10 meg plan and you're running 3 video 
streams, it should split them about equal to 3.33 mbps for each stream. If 
Netflix drops down to 2.5 mbps then there's a little extra left over for the 
other streams. What doesn't change is that the small flows that don't use much 
throughout will always go to the front of the queue to make sure they get 
priority over the big flows. 

 

Preseem classifies it as "mice flows" and "elephant flows" 

 

I don't know of any video services that don't have variable bitrate. All the 
ones I use have that: Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc.

I don’t know how you decide between a Windows 10 Update, an Xbox game download,

don’t see how it can know that the software download can be deferred or slowed

sports stream needs a certain bitrate or it just won’t work.

 

Of course there’s also a bigger problem.  If you talk to the kid trying to 
download the latest 50 gigabyte game and play it, that should get 100% of the

I'll say we've used procera, saisei, in the past and they're DPI. They're cool 
and you can do lots of things with them. They also require hands-on attention 
and tweaking. They give you NO usable QoE data so you still can't tell where 
you have trouble in your network or individual customers like you can with 
preseem. 

 

We now use preseem for about 11 months and we love it! It's not DPI so don't 
even think that you can shape individual types of traffic like video, updates, 
etc because thats not what it is. 

 

It requires no tweaking or hands-on configuration at all and preseem guys do 
all the work for you. It provides the best QoE data of any service out there 
and really helps tell you what tower, sector, or customer is having a bad 
experience so you can fix it. On top of this valuable data, it does your rate 
plan shaping and it does it damn well to boot. Customers can now max out their 
rate plans without a spike in latency or complaints or laggy gaming or slow web 
browsing. It allows small traffic flows like voip, dns, web browsing, gaming to 
"jump the queue" so to speak so large flows like video and updates don't slow 
everything down. 

 

It's very handy. I've rate shaped my home down to 3 mbps and still was able to 
run 2 Netflix streams, 1 YouTube, plus a voip call and web browse without any 
lag or buffering whatsoever. 

 

I highly recommend anyone do a trial with preseem and you'll be happy campers.

stream that has a single stream rate and will buffer or skip if it doesn’t get 
10 Mbps … unless you identify the application via either DPI or something 
equivalent.

Apparently Preseem allocates the bandwidth based on how the flow acts?  I still 
don’t see how it can know that the software download can be deferred or slowed 
until off-peak, the Netflix stream can be squeezed to 2.5 Mbps, but the live 
sports stream needs a certain bitrate or it just won’t work.

Of course there’s also a bigger problem.  If you talk to the kid trying to 
download the latest 50 gigabyte game and play it, that should get 100% of the 
bandwidth.  But we’re never going to solve that one, unless we give customers a 
portal where they can tweak the knobs themselves.

I'll say we've used procera, saisei, in the past and they're DPI. They're cool 
and you can do lots of things with them. They also require hands-on attention 
and tweaking. They give you NO usable QoE data so you still can't tell where 
you have trouble in your network or individual customers like you can with 
preseem.

We now use preseem for about 11 months and we love it! It's not DPI so don't 
even think that you can shape individual types of traffic like video, updates, 
etc because thats not what it is.

It requires no tweaking or hands-on configuration at all and preseem guys do 
all the work for you. It provides the best QoE data of any service out there 
and really helps tell you what tower, sector, or customer is having a bad 
experience so you can fix it. On top of this valuable data, it does your rate 
plan shaping and it does it damn well to boot. Customers can now max out their 
rate plans without a spike in latency or complaints or laggy gaming or slow web 
browsing. It allows small traffic flows like voip, dns, web browsing, gaming to 
"jump the queue" so to speak so large flows like video and updates don't slow 
everything down.

It's very handy. I've rate shaped my home down to 3 mbps and still was able to 
run 2 Netflix streams, 1 YouTube, plus a voip call and web browse without any 
lag or buffering whatsoever.

I highly recommend anyone do a trial with preseem and you'll be happy campers.

A concern that I have with Preseam (or any other vendor like this) is that
it requires me to put a single box (usually a Dell server) right in-line
with all of my customer traffic.  All of a sudden, my entire customer
network is reliant on a single Dell server.  I know that Procera and maybe
some other vendors offered bypass modules for this type of thing, but what
are Preseam customers doing?  Is this not a concern for you?

It can’t be from rate queues.  The highest we set our Mikrotik queues is around 
40 packets before they start dropping packets.  We have pushed the queue depth

I have at least one WISP recommending Preseem, and they seem like the latest

I could go ahead with a trial license from one of these guys, but it would be

Re: [AFMUG] bandwidth management appliance opinions

2018-11-13 Thread Dev
I looked at a couple variations of buffer bloat management, and have decided to 
build my own and maybe just open source the thing for “people who feel 50K 
seems excessive” and just need some basic functionality on a vanilla Linux box. 
The open source tech is out there, it’s just tying it all together in some sane 
way. I hope others will open source what they’re working on too, that’s what 
the community is about. I feel like the community is moving away from including 
the little guys these days.

They have "procera virtual" on your own hardware. We tried it but it had
some major issues that drove us to switch away. not sure if that's other
peoples experience or not

Re: [AFMUG] bandwidth management appliance opinions

2018-11-13 Thread Darren Shea
That makes sense – when we started using ours a couple of years ago, I was 
thinking they would have some turnkey options we could later modify as needed. 
Nope, that’s not how they do things. They basically sell you the box and a 
support contract, then they teach a person at the company how to design and 
implement things like bandwidth plans and shaping rules, and how to interface 
with a PSM if that’s the direction you want to go. There’s a lot of 
documentation, but a fair amount of it is needlessly arcane, and there just 
aren’t any “best practices” configuration ideas they can share. I can’t imagine 
that’s an efficient way to do things for a smaller WISP.

Doesn't sonar still have the ability to add Procera per-user on

I think with Procera you pay for the box and maintenance, while with Saisei you 
pay monthly per active user (and buy a Dell server).  You’d have to do some 
math to figure out which is cheaper.  I think the commitment might also be 1 
year vs. 3 years, but maybe that’s negotiable.
