Re: [AFMUG] Upgrade PTP Links with ePMP Modules
I work for Eric Ozrelic, he is the owner of our company. I am merely the project manager. Everything in that forum post is 100 percent accurate. EPMP radios are a direct swap for rocket radios for any back haul that uses the ubnt rockets in 5ghz. Feel free to use any dual pol antenna that you currently have up. From our experience in noisy environments with competing WISPs your results will be good.

Re: [AFMUG] Upgrade PTP Links with ePMP Modules
Creativity is the key. There are probably 3rd party options that are out or maybe working on it. When we decided to do this, there were no options so we made it happen with ingenuity. The rocketdish in the pictures on the forum post had been in service like that since March until November 1st when I pulled it from my house as I was moving. The newer RFarmor shield kits require no modification to the shield... they simply sit in there. If you were hell bent on securing it inside the enclosure I am sure it could be figured out.

Re: [AFMUG] Experience with Sandvine and or other DPI network appliances
Jason, I am new to posting here. I cannot seem to see your direct email address, please email me at s...@webformix.com so I can respond back. Our Sandvine stuff was a bit more expensive than the Procera and Allot options that ran around 30-35k but not too much. The support contract is the killer though. You have to have the support contract for the updated definitions and the yarly contract is 4k with Sandvine. Procera and Allot are about the same. Sandvine definition updates are once a month.

Re: [AFMUG] Experience with Sandvine and or other DPI network appliances
Interesting stuff Josh, we had tried just ntop by itself a few times years ago using port mirroring I think, and saw faulty numbers for data used. I am not our network engineer, but in hindsight I would have tried a few different ways to try to get it to work. How is the accuracy and the frequency of the definition updates?
