Hi,

you might want to check out a Mikrotik [1] Routerboard [2]. Most if not all of 
your requirements are possible and you can scale up, depending on 
situation/bandwidth/etc.

shameless plug

Have a look at http://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/ipv6-cpe-surveys/ if you 
want some pointers on IPv6 support. As always feedback is more than welcome, 
I'll try and publish a new one in a few weeks.

An ALIX with pfSense 2.0 (BETA4 at the moment) would fit most
of the above. IPv6 support is coming (is mostly there in the
kernel, but interface only alpha).

If you want to run the snort package I'd however pick a
Supermicro Atom system with 2 onboard NICs and add a dual-port
Intel NIC, and run pfSense from a small SSD or an USB stick.
Albeit a rackmount, the system would be quiet enough for SOHO.

There are multiple recommended hardware vendors
http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=44Itemid=50
and also commercial support
http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=62Itemid=73
 
 Basically think about a sophisticated home user, or a 1-5 person
 small office.  Think DSL, Cable Modem, maybe Cell Card or ISDN as
 backups.  Looking for an appliance, very much fire and forget. I
 probably won't get all the features that I want, but in no particular
 order:
 
 - Able to load balance over 2 links (probably via NAT).

Check.

 - IPv6 support, native or tunnel to tunnelbroker.net type thing.

Requires hacking at the moment, but is coming fast.

 - Able to deal with backup connectivity, eg. Cell Cards which you
   only want to use if the primary is down.
 - User friendly features, e.g. UPNP, NAT-PMP, etc.
 - Good manageability.  ssh to a cli would be a huge bonus, at least
   the ability to backup a config.

Very well supported. http(s) and ssh both.

 - Able to handle decent througput, probably 20Mbps/sec min, 50 would
   be nice.

ALIX does about 70 MBit/s, an dual-core Atom can probably handle 500 MBit/s.

 _ Nice firewall features.
 - IDS features are cool.
 
 WiFi is not strictly required, but would be cool. Things like guest
 WiFi would be an added bonus.
 
 Something a NANOGer might want at home would be a good baseline.
 I realize the exact product may differ depending on DSL/Cable/Cell/ISDN,
 that's ok, let's get some various good solutions going here.
 
 What is the state of the art, and who has it?

I run pfSense both at home (6/100 MBit/s DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem)
and in the colo (GBit Ethernet, failover cluster). Very happy.

This is far too diffuse.  You'll get a yes, we've got IPv6.

You should at least add
 - IPv6 packet filtering and policy management (at least simple access
   lists) 
 - DHCPv6-PD client running over PPP or ethernet (possibly bridged DSL)
   WAN interface(s)
 - Ability to split the delegated prefix into a /64 for every LAN and
   loopback interface, preferably fully configurable
 - Configurable RA on LAN interfaces, using the dynamically allocated
   prefixes
 - (wishlist) configurable ifid's on the LAN and loopback interfaces as
   an alternative to using EUI-64
 - WAN link addressing using whatever is available of SLAAC, DHCPv6
   IA_NA or link local.  Specifically: Using SLAAC for the WAN link
   should be possible without sacrificing any router functionality on
   the CPE.
 
and probably a lot more.  DNS resolver handling needs a chapter on it's
own  

The point is: We've been asking for IPv6 for too long.  That's just
one bit in a packet header.  We need to start asking for the features we
expect, which is a lot more than that bit.

Since I'm on a cable modem with Port 25 blocked and I want an SMTP server at

PortableIP.com, grab a fixed IP over there, use this as my MX and DST-NAT into

All of this on a $70 box, with a very fast CPU, and 5 GigE ports.

Currently playing with a little ADSL box made by Gennet (Athens, Greece). They 
have a beta which includes v6 support. Still some work to do but it looks very 
promising and the basics work (PPP dual stack, dhcpv6 PD, DNS). Firewall is 
under development and they have a nasty bug in the wlan driver which needs 
fixing so it's supports v6.

Recent operational experience choosing between PBB-TE, MEF9+14, VPLS or T-MPLS ?

2010-11-12 Thread Francois Menard
I'm embarking on a new project which involves a large scale MAN network where 
ultimately, the objective is to carry QinQ, while at the same time delivering 
services over IPv6.

The objective is to support jumbo frames on all interfaces, at least to carry 
QinQ standard-size ethernet frames, but ideally as large as possible

There seem to be 4 approaches to do this.

a) The IEEE PBB-TE approach - but little implementations.
b) The MEF9+14 approach, mature, but manual provisioning
c) The VPLS approach, concerns with too much manual provisioning.
d) The T-MPLS approach, concerns with maturity

The objective is to support the functionality not only in the CORE, but also on 
cost effective multi-tenant  redundant customer CPEs.

I have not seen a, or b or d supported in a low-cost customer CPE.

I am currently favouring c, for reasons of maturity and wide implementation, 
but may be missing on recent progresses in the b) land.

Any thoughts ?

Any published IETF material on the topic ?

Works well on GBit/s as well. I haven't measured the throughput

is about equivalent to a Pentium 3 at the same frequency.

Yes. I agree. Have SNORT run as a transparent bridge and have a separate

to handle whatever you need to do (dedicated vlan for snort, one for 
your management network, one for secure wifi, one for guest

wifi etc).

Well the SSH interface is very limited. You can login and do some basic 
checks. However everything is driven from a single
XML config file that gets parsed by PHP scripts during the init process 
and then writes out all the UNIX configuration files.
However all the things I've ever done from the CLI on a Linux box are 
readily available from the pfSense web interface (arp table

checks, traceroute,ping,iperf,tcpdump).

I only use the CLI when I have broken something.

_ Nice firewall features.

- IDS features are cool.


It has a SNORT package that's pretty nice. Also has some other AV type 
stuff and a proxy. I haven't gotten the proxy/av to work yet, but

haven't put much time into them.

WiFi is not strictly required, but would be cool. Things like guest
WiFi would be an added bonus.


It supports a lot of wifi cards. I put a USB wifi stick in my pfsense 
box and configured it as an AP from the web UI.


I'm running the current stable pfSense (1.2.3 I think). Very happy with 
it. It's a fully featured distribution that is incredibly

well put together.

It has extensive documentation available.  From a documentation point 
of view it really stands out among OSS and even commercial apps.


Yes. The documentation is fantastic. Top notch. OpenVZ is very simple 
and utilizes existing features in Linux directly. As opposed to XEN (at 
least as it ships with centos 5) which utilizes an entire super 
structure of complex shell scripts to do it's networking setup. If you 
have a few years of server admin experience it's very easy to get up and 
going. You can utilize all your existing CLI knowledge.

Re: Current trends in capacity planning and oversubscription

 If we take our current ISP bandwidth and increase it by 50% every

Is 50% growth each year typical these days?  In the dot-com boom days, 
people said 100% growth, other people have suggested 20% may be more 
reasonable now.  A problem with government network capacity 
planning/growth forecasts is you will be stuck with whatever you choose, 
too high or too low, for many years because the budget cycle is so long.


It would be great if there was some actual data available.  But it seems
more typical to benchmark/compare to do network capacity planning with 
other government agencies, so we end up with X-Mbps per Y,000 people.
Yes, I know it depends.  1,000 people downloading data from LHC 
experiments will be different from an administrative school office. 
The difference is the people using LHC data usually have someone who can 
figure out network capacity planning, while the people in an 
administrative school office may not have anyone.


So what is a reasonable network capacity for 1,000 students now and in 5 
years.
