I don't see how this practice by LLNW is efficient delivery, or how 
you interpret this to mean the ISP does not have enough bandwidth.  
Unless you interpret selling different speeds at different prices as 
not having enough bandwidth.

Is this only from LLNW? I swear I've seen it from other CDNs as well. I
don't see any way around this other than throwing bandwidth at it. And as
you mention, this means upstream bandwidth and backhaul links between
towers.

LLNW seems to aim for 50% packet loss.  I always seem to see almost
exactly 2X the customer's rate limit hitting our border router. Of
course this causes all traffic to that customer to experience random
50% packet loss, which few applications can tolerate.  It is also
consuming our upstream and backhaul bandwidth beyond what the customer
has subscribed to, since we do rate limiting at the tower router.

Other than getting a Procera box and setting up some kind of rule to
catch this at the border (plus maybe a penalty for LLNW being such
dicks), I don't know what to do about this, but it pisses me off.









Re: [AFMUG] Software 13.4: P8 FSK not recommended

Well thanks for being the guinea pig Bill. I have a sector with a couple 
P8 SMs. Awesome. I haven't started updating anything to 13.4 yet though. 
Sure will be fun getting the P9s on that AP to update since P7, P8 and 
P9 is a one-shot deal.

Well, not exactly bricked. We should have updated them to newer 
hardware a long time ago, and since they were not heavy users, it 
really was not a priority item.


So we swapped them out today, and brought them back to the shop. Turns 
out you could bring them back to life if you default them. Cool I 
thought. However, as soon as you apply a "real" configuration, they 
revert to brick mode. No ethernet, no life. You can re-reset them and 
bring them back. So I defaulted one, and downgraded to 13.1.3, and all

Not real valuable, but if you have some old P8 FSK still running

Re: [AFMUG] Limelight Networks and TCP congestion control

2015-07-08 Thread Ron Marosko
In the spirit of true "net neutrality", I have a policy-map on our border
router that strips almost all QoS bits regardless of source.  Netflix like
to send all their stuff with the AF41 DSCP bit set, for example, and that
one gets terminated with extreme prejudice. I do try to at least consider
the VoIP stuff that is supposed to be set with DCSP EF and will reapply that
bit as necessary, but everything else gets categorized as DCSP 00, meaning
it's all the same. And if it gets dropped, it gets dropped.

Anyone used this company's gear?  This looks like a really neat little unit for 
motels and stuff.  I can think of a few places where we installed a wifi node 
right beside the jack... could have used this for an even cleaner appearance.

I hope they keep the great BGP community support that N-Layer had. I'm pretty 
sure they had a community for redirecting your FTP requests through Mars.

GTT is finally integrating their various acquisitions. There was a bit of press 
last month with Dan Rayburn, GTT, Free Press and M-Labs. Free Press took some 
M-Labs data, completely made some shit up and then blamed AT&T for blowing like 
no one has ever blown before... except a couple problems. Dan asked GTT to 
confirm the problem (GTT-AT&T interconnection). GTT said it wasn't AT&T's 
fault, but theirs. They are collapsing their networks into one platform and in 
some areas the interconnects aren't the capacity they probably should be. 
Nothing to do with AT&T at all. Also, that M-Labs report never existed. M-Labs 
publicly said that the data they collect couldn't possibly lead to the 
conclusions Free Press made. Free Press was called out on being full of shit, 
but all they did in response was call Dan a doo doo head and run away.

LLNW seems to aim for 50% packet loss.  I always seem to see almost 
exactly 2X the customer's rate limit hitting our border router.  Of

consuming our upstream and backhaul bandwidth beyond what the 
customer has subscribed to, since we do rate limiting at the tower

Other than getting a Procera box and setting up some kind of rule to

Yeah ... just think of "whack a mole" here.. you slow down CDN network X
 this may force the traffic (depending on who is involved here) to come

You can push it all the way to the border(s) and have the same problem. 
You'll still need more upstream bandwidth. Because some CDNs think 
bandwidth is unlimited. We should start sending them a bill for 50% of 
our upstream costs.

I'm looking at a site where we will use about 100 watts of power and trying to 
figure long term costs of doing solar instead of paying for a power connection. 
The power connection would cost between $40-50 per month with between 80-100 
kWh per month of usage. Even if we go with grid power, we still planning on 
having at least 150ah of battery backup available.

If we decide to go solar and provide enough power to not have an outage with

and how many batteries we'd need?

Any advice with solar would be great so we can compare costs. Thank you

[AFMUG] Limelight Networks and TCP congestion control

2015-07-08 Thread Ken Hohhof
This has been discussed in previous threads, but I just got off a call with 
a customer where I was able to identify what content was being distributed 
via LLNW and causing problems.  Customer had bought a new Xbox and it was 
downloading game updates.  He was complaining that the game update seemed 
stuck getting to 100%, plus Internet on his other devices was painfully 
slow.


LLNW seems to aim for 50% packet loss.  I always seem to see almost exactly 
2X the customer's rate limit hitting our border router.  Of course this 
causes all traffic to that customer to experience random 50% packet loss, 
which few applications can tolerate.  It is also consuming our upstream and 
backhaul bandwidth beyond what the customer has subscribed to, since we do 
rate limiting at the tower router.


Other than getting a Procera box and setting up some kind of rule to catch 
this at the border (plus maybe a penalty for LLNW being such dicks), I don't 
know what to do about this, but it pisses me off.

Re: [AFMUG] [WISPA Members] Sales Person Commission

2015-07-08 Thread Hass, Douglas A.
One point that I would add to this discussion is that with the changes in the 
federal regulations proposed by the DOL (read more here: 
http://www.wagehourinsights.com/exemptions/the-new-flsa-regulations-what-changed-what-didnt-whats-next-for-employers/),
 WISPs need to carefully evaluate whether their salespeople meet the exemption 
in FLSA Section 7(i) for commissioned sales employees.  To meet the 7(i) 
exemption, your salesperson must meet all of the following criteria:


  1.  The employee must be employed by a retail or service establishment (a 
WISP qualifies); and
  2.  The regular rate of pay must exceed 1.5 times the applicable minimum wage 
for every hour worked in a workweek; and
  3.  More than half of the employee's total earnings in a representative 
period must consist of commissions on goods or services.

Commissions need not be defined as X% of gross sales.  You can be a bit more 
creative and still meet the exemption.  There are some other quirks to this 
exemption, too, but make sure that you keep these basic requirements in mind at 
least when you are designing payment plans.  Not designing (and monitoring!) 
your plan carefully could mean that you could be stuck paying overtime to sales 
staff as non-exempt employees!

I am happy to take a look at any current or planned comp programs to share some 
ideas on how to structure these in a way that makes business sense and still 
works legally.

Doug

Hello all,

I was talking with another WISP on sales commission for a new rep they're 
hiring and one we're hoping to hire very soon.

We talked about a base salary plus commission based on what service they sell.

For base, we talked about minimum wage for base and commission was percentage 
based on the monthly recurring revenue.

For example, for a $500 a month dedicated connection on a 2 or 3 year contract, 
the sales person would earn $500 one-time commission on that service. For 
hosted PBX, the other WISP did a flat $40 per seat sold instead of 100% of the 
monthly value.

For those of you employing a sales person, what does your compensation plan 
look like and do you have any advice to make this program run smoothly. I hear 
many people say to hire two sales reps at the same time because they are 
competitive and more likely to meet their goals to earn a bonus.

Do you have the sales people dedicated just to sales or also business support 
as a point of contact? I feel like the sales person would expect additional 
compensation to support a customer after the sale has been made. What about 
renewing contracts after 2-3 years? Would they get commission again or not?

So many questions now that I'm thinking about it.

I hope to have a good discussion on this probably next week after the 4th of 
July celebrations :)

Just needed to get this off my mind and onto the list.

Have a great weekend guys!

I thought I was doing something wrong until I found multiple forum posts
with the same problem. remove the uap from the router and can get full gig
speeds on that port, plug it back in and it negotiates at 1gbps, air rate
with different ac clients is max of 300 on 5 or 2.4 which should yeld 100+
but 30 is the max. tried all channels and widths and power combos.

They ran at least a few hundred megabit through it. 

Also, it's WiFi, cut that 1750 in half. That's also likely including 300 or 450

Is this the indoor panel looking unit?  Make sure you set medium or full tx
power.  Auto tx power seems to be broken (at least for me).

Re: [AFMUG] 5GHZ WBMFG Omni

2015-07-08 Thread Ken Hohhof
Yeah, I have a site with a 450 Full (built before the Lites existed) and one of 
those omnis, and a total of 6 subs.  And of course they are in all different 
directions so it would take a full set of sectors.

Hard to justify 4 Lite APs and sectors.  But the omni is only good for about 3 
miles if you’re lucky.  Less when the top blows off, and the rain and hornets 
get inside.

The vertical would vary maybe 1-2dB while the horizontal was more like 4-5dB.

Is there a Verizon DSL product that can be used for ISP bandwidth?

I'm using fiber for my main service, but I do not have a second provider.
Verizon DSL is the only other option for service nearby. I'm thinking about

Re: [AFMUG] Plan to Compete with Municipal Fiber?

2015-07-08 Thread Christopher Gray
Right now, I'm not installing any of my own fiber. All new expansion is
wireless.

They do not plan on allowing anyone other than the owner to use the
network. I'm pushing for other options, but it seems unlikely they will
open it.

Once they are closer to lighting their service, I plan to make at least one
offering that matches theirs for speed and price. It sounds like it will be
possible to retain customers, but not to expect many. I do need some of the
sites to expand into areas that will not be getting fiber, so I might as
well cover some new customers along the way.

Compared to the Arc, that lumpy pattern is really, really nice... I think
most sectors are closer to 360 degrees.

I think the pattern on the UBNT omni is really pretty close to the
KPP/L-Com/WB, but those seem to be built a bit better, and Chuck's ePMP
integration is pretty nice.

I think your are confused between "making something" and "inventing

they just don't come up with much of it.

Re: [AFMUG] Trouble upgrading from 13.4 B7 to 13.4 Release

2015-07-08 Thread George Skorup
You don't need the CNUT HTTP server if you're doing "AP as file server" 
for SM auto-update. CNUT opens an FTP session with the AP either for SM 
auto-update or to update the AP itself. I suspect Steve has something 
between his CNUT machine and the AP that won't update that's screwing up 
the FTP session. Maybe the AP or router/switch port is showing CRC/FCS 
errors? Some strange NAT or firewall rule somewhere?

If you are using Dude on the same machine or any other program using

Re: [AFMUG] 5GHZ WBMFG Omni

2015-07-08 Thread Ken Hohhof
Alpha might be better but AFAIK only makes 2.5 and 3.5 GHz.

My experience with KPP and L-Com which are apparently from the same source as 
Chuck’s has been the performance is mediocre at best.  The gain doesn’t seem 
like it is really 13 dBi, the azimuth pattern is quite lumpy, and the V/H ratio 
will be all over the map.  Also I had the top cap blow off one of them in a 
storm.

The published patterns for the UBNT omni will scare you off, they are very 
ugly, but maybe they are just being more honest than the competition.

not even started building yet.

Do a search for the UC2B project in Illinois, it was a municipal/university 
system built with stimulus funds. They did what they needed to meet grant 
obligations, then they all argued among the partners about who and how they 
would run things and failed at that. They finally let a private company take

I would like a backup BMU to have on hand but don't exactly want to spend
$3K on a GX446 just to sit on my shelf.  Does anyone have a used BMU that
they'd like to sell?  I want a GX226 at minimum.  I know it is a long shot,
but I figure it can't hurt to try the list before I drop three grand on a

they will try so hard just not to keep it going. Once they go over the tipping 
point of going out to peoples homes to hook up grandmas laptop or keep their

The only thing you will have to deal with is the customers who think you should 
charge, or give for free, with the same structure a tax funded entity couldn't 
make work. That won't matter since those socialists can't understand logic 
there is no use explaining it to them.

My suggestion would be to just wait it out. Let them build it and lose money. 
Eventually they will realize that they have no idea how to be an ISP, the 
customers will not deal with slow government response times to complaints, and 
the government will hate dealing with title II issues and open internet 
regulations. They will throw their hands up and offer it via bid or something 
else to a private company to manage/own/run. You might be able to pick it up 
for far less than it would have cost you to build. I certainly would not try to 
overbuild them before they get going. The average consumer has already heard 
about their promised prices, you will be fighting that even though they have 
not even started building yet.

Do a search for the UC2B project in Illinois, it was a municipal/university 
system built with stimulus funds. They did what they needed to meet grant 
obligations, then they all argued among the partners about who and how they 
would run things and failed at that. They finally let a private company take 
over and expand the system.

Assuming you didn't have to recoup build costs, I don't see how it would be 
hard to run the network at $50 per sub.  Bandwidth is dirt cheep at scale and 
there isn't much to go wrong with a fiber plant.

About $40M is grant funding from the state for "last mile" services that is 
only available to municipalities. The balance of the funding is coming from 
town borrowing. My town will receive about $1.2M from the grant and will vote 
in September whether to authorize $2.3M of borrowing that would be paid with 
property tax.

I'm 95% sure this will go through, and the network would be lit in about 3 
years, but I can't get their numbers to work out. I cannot see how they can 
actually provide service and maintain their network and offer a base service of 
only $50 / month. If that jumps to $100, I could see remaining competitive, 
though.

I would not be comfortable building in an area where I am sure to get over

How about you make 3.6GHZ and 2.4GHZ versions.  Some very rural pops
with less then 10 subs I require other options.



That link shows plots that sure look like 0 degrees.  Identical to L-Com
part?  Same plots.
