Re: [AFMUG] Jaime, watching fights?

2016-04-23 Thread Josh Reynolds
I've been on a binge watching old boxing matches for some reason. Lot
of Liston, Tyson, Roy Jr, etc.

Early in his career, Tyson was just such an absolute animal, and a
freak of nature. Lots of bad things happened to his career. Cus was
great for him, but King just broke him.

on their fiber network.  However, they weren't willing to do it at the same 
price that we initially discussed with Syringa (before they found out that we 
were a WISP).  They even offered the bandwidth to CentraCom at a lower rate

Hi,

This doesn't really surprise me. I had gotten quotes from them for 
transport years ago, and they were always 25% higher than Centurylink 
for the exact same service.


At one point, we even purchased bandwidth from them, and it was a 
disaster. They were one of four providers we had at the time, and the 
problem was they would make BGP changes on their network on almost a 
daily basis, which would cause us issues with our other providers. We 
only kept their service for a year.

Re: [AFMUG] Hotel Wifi

2016-04-23 Thread Jeremy
They tried to hand us off to CentraCom, who has agreements in place to
resell on their fiber network.  However, they weren't willing to do it at
the same price that we initially discussed with Syringa (before they found
out that we were a WISP).  They even offered the bandwidth to CentraCom at
a lower rate than what they offered it to us.  Apparently they felt that
the risk was too high doing business with a WISP so they would rather take
less money from someone else and let them do business with us.  Either way,
a default on the agreement would lead to a loss of that income for their
business.  The entire experience was a run-around waste of time.  I feel
that they acted extremely unprofessional.  Maybe we can approach them again
when they change their company policies.  Meanwhile, we will continue
buying bandwidth from their competitors.

I've done nearLOS (shooting through 110 foot tall DENSE spruce trees (which 
really suck for nlos) off of the top of a 120 foot tower to a 70 foot tower and 
it was almost 5 miles. I got about 160 Mb which I though was amazing, BUT that 
was on a 40mhz channel. That was with 2 ft rocket dishes with the AF2X, I had 
it up for about 3 days during a school holiday. The 70ft tower was at a school, 
and on Tuesday when the kids came the 2.4 ghz was trashed, I got about 90Mb 
then with a 10ghz channel. The af2x has been sitting in boxes since then. I'd 
be happy to ship them to you so you can try it out, you pay shipping.

I don't think you will get your 150 or 200 Mbps, but worth a try if you can get

Re: [AFMUG] High Priority Uplink / Downlink

2016-04-23 Thread Aaron Schneider
There is a significant improvement in the application of MIR and burst coming 
in 14.2 for 450i.  Historically we consumed data at the achievable rate and 
refilled at a fixed rate (once per second).  So this lead to very bursty 
consumption of burst bucket and MIR and quiet link for remainder of the refill 
duration.  We have greatly increased the granularity of the refill on 450i as 
the HW is considerably more capable and able to handle it.  This leads to much 
more rapid refill events which smooths out the consumption.



For an example, here are two speedtest graphs showing a similar outcome of a 
~20M MIR, but you can clearly see how the old method was bursty consumption and 
the new method is smooth.  I think that could definitely cause impact on 
something like voip.



[cid:image002.jpg@01D19D04.B6C419B0][cid:image004.jpg@01D19D04.B6C419B0]



We will look at doing this on the 450, but it would affect PPS so we need to 
analyze the impact, but it definitely will be there for 450i in 14.2 release.



Regards,

-Aaron

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] High Priority Uplink / Downlink



We use 100 kbits per call session of G711U. We took a while to get a good 
working config on junos to make sure only voip traffic comes in to the SM 
tagged for high priority. The SM only goes by the Priority Precedence selection 
to check either 802.1p or DSCP to determine transmit channel and you need to 
make sure inbound ethernet traffic to the SM is tagged correctly so that voip, 
and only voip, ends up in the high priority channel.



We also ran into issues with burst allocation and burst rates. In order for the 
high priority channel to work correctly on 450 platform we found you must set 
the Sustained Uplink/Downlink Data Rate and the Uplink/Downlink Burst 
Allocation to be the same (customer regular bandwidth + high priority 
bandwidth) and the Max Burst Uplink/Downlink Rates to double the Total 
Sustained Uplink/Downlink. We confirmed in extensive testing that if we simply 
enable a high priority channel on a normal customer, when the user maxes his 
upload or download we see packet loss on the high priority channel even when 
the upload/download is all low priority traffic and the high priority channel 
is not being 100% used.



Why is this? We're not sure but our network engineers did pretty extensive 
testing and we consistently saw packet loss when configured with a high 
priority channel and a "normal" customer deployment of Sustained Down 4 Mbit / 
Sustained Up 1 Mbit, Downlink Burst Allocation 12 and max burst downlink of 
1.

that works best for VOIP?




Re: [AFMUG] High Priority Uplink / Downlink

That isn't quite true about all Hi Priority traffic going before Low Priority 
CIR...  Leaving Hi Priority MIR at 0/0 is useful if you set a Low Priority CIR, 
in that case the LP CIR will be honored, then it will move to High Priority 
traffic.

Recall that the priority order proceeds as follow:

HiPri CIR
LoPri CIR
Bcast CIR (in downlink)
HiPri Remainder (beyond HP CIR, up to HP MIR/Burst)
LoPri Remainder (beyond LP CIR, up to HP MIR/Burst)
Bcast Remainder (beyond Bcast CIR, in downlink)

CIR is done in hardware, MIR is done in software, so CIR does count against MIR.

The broadcast channel is shared in downlink, so that is why there is a CIR for 
that data but only in downlink.  In uplink, broadcast data is user data so it 
will follow whatever priority is determined from the packet.

Timothy, The Sustained rate is is in kbps and the allocation is in kbits.  
Could you give me an example or screenshot of your QOS (Session Status > 
Configuration) settings so I can better understand?

Also on George's response, "The scheduler will still prioritize HP traffic if 
you leave it at 0/0. The same applies if you're putting more traffic into it 
than you have configured.  All HP traffic goes before LP CIR and MIR anyway. I 
think Matt or Aaron explained it roughly this way before. "

That sounds like a bug in the QOS scheme, do you know where it was explained 
like this?
Or could Matt or Aaron @ Cambium please elaborate?
