Re: [AFMUG] 450M - Medusa groupings?

[castarritt]

Those MU-MIMO numbers look pretty weak.  The only one I've seen that bad on
our network turned out to be defective.  What does the VC sounding look
like under stats/radio?  Do you have a bunch of VCs that are un-tracked?

[AFMUG] RV park network design

[castarritt]

We were approached by a current subscriber who is building an RV park with
around ~100 pads, and he wants us to offer service to his tenants.  This
isn't the typical situation where we would sell service to the RV park, and
they handle distributing it to their customers.  He wants to avoid
providing wi-fi himself, and will instead let us charge every client that
wants service separately.  Also, this isn't a campground; his shortest
lease term will be monthly.

While the park is under construction, he is willing to let us lay conduit,
so we could provide wired service to each pad if we wanted to.
Alternatively, we could just setup a bunch of wi-fi APs.  One potential
complication is that we have a fairly busy cluster of 5g PMP450s a couple
hundred yards from this RV park, so while wired service could be more
reliable for the park tenants, the potential for 100 customer wi-fi routers
we can't control operating within sight of our PMP450 POP sounds like the
stuff of nightmares.

We are leaning more towards a wi-fi option due to better control over
spectrum, as well as avoiding maintenance of 100 outdoor ethernet ports
that the customers would be plugging into, but we are open to suggestions.

Also, assuming wi-fi is the correct answer, does anyone have any equipment
recommendations?  The park is about 400' by 900'.  I was looking at either
doing a whole bunch of low end APs, or maybe ~8 sectors.  We haven't used
any of the Cambium wi-fi gear yet, but the cnPilot E501S looks interesting.

Re: [AFMUG] DDOS protection

[castarritt .]

We are working on a Mikrotik method of automatic detection and mitigation
based on a firewall rule adding addresses to a list that are getting a
certain number of packets per second, and then a script that adds that /32
to BGP networks for advertisement with the correct black hole community
(HE.net), or black hole server (Cogent).  It works in a lab setting, but we
haven't had an attack since implementing the detection side only to our
edge router.

Re: [AFMUG] florida bridge - check your harness

[castarritt .]

AvE did a youtube video with his community's theory/analysis.  The original
plans for installation showed the temporary supports under the bridge in
different locations vs where they were when it failed.  Also, you can see
one of the prestressing tendons sticking out of the collapsed structure
with the tensioning cylinder still attached.  AvE thinks someone got the
math wrong when they changed the location of the supports during
installation.  When they put too much stress on that tendon, it stretched.
Then, when sensors showed lower tension on that tendon, they tried to pull
it tight again, causing it to snap.

You should be happy that they are running a collision avoidance rather than

Re: [AFMUG] competition

[castarritt .]

We've lost a couple to the new cell plans that deprioritize rather than
outright throttle heavy users, but most of our service area has poor cell
coverage, and I suspect the 200+ GB/mo users like your former client will
only be happy until their cell carrier sells enough of these plans to
saturate their AP.

Re: [AFMUG] Vegas Mass Shooting

[castarritt .]

I've read that an ad-hoc team of hotel security and/or police were at the
shooter's door ~12min after the first shots were fired, but he had a camera
setup in the hallway, and wounded two of them by firing through the wall.
There were no more shots fired into the crowd below after this, so it is
thought the shooter killed himself shortly after firing upon the hotel
security team.  If there were no more shots being fired, SWAT may have
taken the time to clear adjacent rooms, hallways, and maybe even floors
before making entry on the shooter's room.

Re: [AFMUG] PMP450 SMs resetting to Factory Defaults? Anyone?

[castarritt .]

I know of at least one SM with the new switching poe adapter that has done
this, so I do not suspect the power adapter is our problem, but thanks for
the input.

Re: [AFMUG] OT RM Question

[castarritt .]

I also use maps a lot larger than my display resolution.  I bet your RM
didn't incorporate the land cover data until it drew a new map.  I would
try drawing it again at the size you want.

Why would you want to run FDD for PTMP?  Wouldn't that prevent using sync

Re: [AFMUG] CDN Overload

[castarritt .]

What CDN?  Mostly LLNW and Microsoft
What have you identified the traffic to be? Mostly Windows Update
What is the access network? I don't understand the question; PTMP wireless?
Where is the rate limiting done? At the PMP450 Access Point
How is the rate limiting done (policing vs. queueing, SFQ, PFIFO, etc,,
etc.)? However the PMP450 does it; token bucket I think?
What is doing the rate limiting? PMP450
What is the rate-limit set to? Burst up to 15 Mbps, and sustained between
2-10 Mbps depending on plan.
Upstream of the rate-limiter, what are you seeing for inbound traffic? Up
to the burst bandwidth limit, but never higher.
One connection or many? I've seen 30+, but this is rare; it's usually ~5-10.
How much traffic? I don't understand the question.
How does other traffic behave when exceeding the rate limit? Other
applications and services fall apart when most of their packets
get discarded at the PMP450.
Where is NAT performed? NAT to the public IP is performed at our upstream
edge, but there are usually two more layers at the PMP450 CPE, and at the
customer's router.
What is doing NAT? Mikrotik, PMP450, and SOHO router
Shared NAT or isolated to that customer?  Shared public IP for everyone on
that PTMP Access Point.
Have you done a packet capture before and after the rate limiter? The NAT
device? No
Would you be willing to send a filtered packet capture (only the frames
that relate to this CDN) to the CDN if they want it? No
