Re: HTTPS redirects to HTTP for monitoring
By the way, I hope that all of the people who have been ranting about this have read this note. The only way this filtering works is if the client computers have a special CA cert installed into their browsers. That means it's a private organizational network that manages all its client computers, or it's a service where the users specifically do something on their own computers to enable it. In the first instance, I'd still very much *want* the organisation to tell the users that the internal IT people are breaking their SSL, so please not to have any expectation that security is doing what you think it is. While it's not an organisation I'd particularly enjoy working for, at least I then know not to do online banking in my lunch break, or similar. Pushing out internal MITM CAs silently *is* still evil, in my view, although sadly closer to what I'd *expect* to happen. Regards, Tim.

Blame it on the browser devs. They tell users the -wrong- things about security. Silent about totally unencrypted traffic. Silent about Sysadmin-installed certs. Noisy with dire warnings about anyone who wants better than unencrypted without whole-hog signed certs. And God help you if you train your users to just click confirm exception.

Re: gamer lag dashboard
shameless plug If anyone is interested, the Quake engine and variants have created a lot of documentation and tools.Since Quake represent early phases of the development of modern gaming systems, they are simple. As simple they can be. Many open source games can be studied, I suggest OpenArena because is easy available and fun. Modern games don't work standalone. They connect to a master server to find other gamers/active games. Heres a simple one: https://github.com/kphillisjr/dpmaster Example of use: http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=openarena Another game that is interesting for networking, is SubSpace. The history with subspace is that was a commercial game that turned open source. It had already billing server, game server, master server. So is probably very similar to how many commercial games work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubSpace_%28video_game%29 http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/Main_Page http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/Category:Protocol It looks to me like somebody can learn stuff by reading this ones. /shameless plug
Re: Recommended L2 switches for a new IXP
For many people eliminating L2 switching and building on top of a L3 network is a good thing, especially if you are using BGP as the control plane. I'm not sure I follow the two routers with 40GE interfaces if you are just building L2 domains to interconnect people.

RAD MiNID
Anyone got experience with RAD MiNID? I need to do some L2 protocol tunneling (L2PT), and this looks like it might scratch that itch. -- Tim:
Could someone from Charter that is knowledgable on SV1 and LOA processes please contact me.
Hello, I am having a heck of a time with this Charter order. Today's issue - I was sent an incomplete LOA from the project manager (PM). Basically, asking me for charter's information on port numbers and data for the cross connect at SV1 (11 Great Oaks, San Jose)? Obviously, I can't provided that as I can't read minds. ( If I could, Bill Gates would be working for me. ) At the start...PM sent the field tech out to customer prem to verify the fiber. A month later, did it again. The Charter field tech called me asking why he had to go twice. Who's on first? (old Abbot and Costello reference). It's been like this at almost every step on this order which is now many many months behind. I think this is stuck in some sort of order twilight zone. My sales team and my customer is getting upset.

RE: Office 365 Expert - I am not. I have a customer that...
I don't belong to the O365 product group, but did you look at this? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852542.aspx and a blog article to go along with that: http://blogs.technet.com/b/educloud/archive/2013/08/20/do-you-have-any-bandwidth-calculators-for-office-365.aspx There's a bunch more than comes up under office 365 bandwidth calculator in your friendly neighborhood search engine. The Exchange client model, for example, looks like it can give you basics for a model based projection if you can characterize your base.

I have a customer that... I have a customer that heavily uses Microsoft Office 365. It's hosted. All the data I see about usage per user appears theoretical. In that the formulas assume people are taking turns using the bandwidth as if there is a patient line of packets at the Internet gas pump. Nobody is clicking at the same time. We all know that is not the real world. Does anyone have any experience with Office 365 hosted that can tell me the practical bandwidth allocation (NOT in KB per month, but in megabits/sec) for 100 users (during normal work hours) needs to be available ?

Has anyone gone through the ICANN Registrar Accreditation process and would have any tips or insight they can share? Cheers Ryan Sent from my iPad
