Re: 802.11 based WISP hardware
Definitely take a look at Mikrotik. The gear is very low-cost with very large feature set. I have not used their CAPWAP functionality, so I can't speak to that. Ubiquiti is also very good and can do most, if not all, of what you want. -dan Dan Brisson Network Engineer University of Vermont On 3/27/15 6:59 AM, Jason Lixfeld wrote: Hi all, I’m looking to gather some public opinion, links and pointers around the current landscape of WISP hardware vendors. I’m familiar with Cisco, Ruckus, AdTran, Motorola and Aruba (HP) but I’m wondering who else is out there that folks have used with success. My main areas of interest are around controller based (hardware or virtual (in-house, not off-net cloud based)) systems that have a range of indoor & outdoor 802.11AC PoE capable APs. The controller(s) would be capable of tunnelling traffic from the APs for one or more SSIDs, support per-SSID captive portals and unique, intra-SSID captive portals. In a perfect world, an on-board DHCP server would be super handy too. The system should support CAPWAP, but some proprietary alternative is also fine, the usual suite of security protocols per SSID, reliable intra-SSID AP roaming algorithms and multi-SSID capable. Thanks in advance.

FWIW...no problems here in Vermont on Comcast business. -dan Dan Brisson Network Engineer University of Vermont On 2/10/15 8:45 PM, Kevin Kadow wrote: On Tue, Feb 10, 2015 at 7:27 PM, Andrey Khomyakov < khomyakov.and...@gmail.com> wrote: Hey, anyone had problems just now?

Re: Here comes iOS 8...
That's we thought and what we experienced but as the day went on they definitely shifted some load to Akamai. -dan Dan Brisson Network Engineer University of Vermont On 9/19/2014 10:33 AM, Andy Ringsmuth wrote: From: "Zachary McGibbon" Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 12:59 PM To: "NANOG" Subject: Here comes iOS 8... So Apple is about to release iOS 8... Have you done anything special to your network setup to accommodate the traffic flood ie traffic shaping rules, cache servers, etc? I heard that Apple Caching servers won't work with this update, so I'm guessing it will be pushed through Akamai servers as is usually is. - Zachary Interestingly enough, it seems Apple primarily used it's own, new, CDN for the iOS 8 release: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/18/apple-chose-to-handle-ios-8-rollout-with-own-content-delivery-network Andy Ringsmuth a...@newslink.com News Link – Manager Technology & Facilities 2201 Winthrop Rd., Lincoln, NE 68502-4158 (402) 475-6397(402) 304-0083 cellular
Re: 7206 VXR NPE-G1 throughput
My Cisco SE brought up an interesting alternative. This summer we're replacing our 6513 Sup720 with a pair of 6807 with redundant Sup 2Ts. It is where all our internal Fiber terminates and where internal routing happens. He said we can add extra memory and terminate our BGP sessions here and use that for our Internet connections. After thinking it over, I'd still rather have dedicated routers for our Internet access but I'm curious what you guys think about this suggestion. I think at the Internet edge, physical separation trumps logical unless you have no other choice. Personally, I would keep them separate. My .02, -dan
Re: [NANOG 58] Final agenda posted and late registration - See you in New Orleans!
I echo the same sentiment and this meeting being my first in-person, I can say that if you can swing physically making it to a meeting, jump at the chance. The content was excellent, the "networking" in the hallways was priceless, and the evening activities that the sponsors put on were first-class. Again, hats off to the folks at NANOG for a great meeting. -dan Dan Brisson Network Engineer University of Vermont (Ph) 802.656.8111 dbris...@uvm.edu On 6/7/13 10:21 AM, Phil Fagan wrote: I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all you that put together NANOG.
