Re: Need /24 (arin) asap

2018-06-11 Thread Joel Mulkey
A couple of suggestions on "cleanliness" checking:

-Here's a link to a quick-n-dirty Python script I made to check against a bunch 
of DNS blacklists: 
https://bigleafnetworks.box.com/s/ru1lsad2y9yom6q57bok2e3vlyxux2g5

-We once got caught after buying a "clean" block that was (unknowingly to us) 
on an old un-maintained blocklist called iblocklist. You can search that list 
here: https://www.iblocklist.com/search.php. They didn't respond to any contact 
attempts, and yet a number of carriers and hosts out there use those 
blocklists. In the end we had to re-purpose that block for internal use only 
and re-number a few customers.

Hi Bryan and all,

Could you please recommend few places or vendors to check on cleanliness?

Thanks!

We've had good results working with Addrex.

I would still strongly recommend you do your due diligence for "cleanliness".

Re: Current IPv4 Options

2015-10-22 Thread Joel Mulkey
We recently went through this. After looking around for a bit I found good 
prices with both IPTrading.com and IPv4Auctions.com. I ended up going with IPv4 
auctions.com. The purchasing process was pretty painless, however before I did 
that I went through the ARIN pre-approval process which was their standard 
annoying level of verification. It took probably 4-5 weeks for the whole 
process (ARIN pre-approval, purchase, seller transfer time).

I did some careful research on the available blocks from both vendors to try to 
make sure they weren't used for SPAM (and also simply asked the sellers). ARIN 
has a VERY helpful tool for this called a WhoWas report which you can use to 
dig into the history of the block.

Re: IP DSCP across the Internet

2015-05-06 Thread Joel Mulkey
But don't trust that's going to be the rule. I recently had a situation where 
traffic across a congested public peering link between 2 large tier-2 
carriers was honoring DSCP, resulting in some unexpected inconsistent behavior.

Re: Wireless Ethernet bridge

2010-03-11 Thread Joel Mulkey
We have used the 2.4GHz version of the Exalt radio - the EX-2.4i. We were 
fairly happy with it. The latency and jitter was great for a TDD radio, better 
than any I have seen. It was very reliable from a data-forwarding perspective. 
The management interface was nice when it worked, but the HTTP interface would 
lock up after extended periods of operation. We also got unusable values from 
some of the SNMP error/discard counters. 

In the end we took it out due to the need for more bandwidth and some issues 
with intermittent interference (to be expected in 2.4GHz). If the specs meet 
your needs then it would probably be a good solution.

 The motorola PTP 600 seems thus far the most valid solution. We want to
 remain on ISM bands, because we don't want to take the burden of renewing
 the license with FCC every x years ... we need something that once installed
 requires the least maintenance effort possible.
 We already have antennas and cables that work with the 5.8 GHz spectrum.
 There's a distance of 3 miles between the two antennas and there's LOS
 available.
 The copper handoff could be solved with a media converter ...
 
 I am also proposed an Exalt EX-5i at 200 Mbps. Does anybody have this
 hardware installed and can share any experience had?
 
 Thanks

 The Dragonwave would be my first choice too, but they are not in the 5.8GHz

 The Motorola PTP-600 has a 2000 byte MTU, but doesn't do multimode handoff.
 
 What radio to get will come down to what you are willing to give up -- if
 you are willing to drop the 5.8Ghz band and go with 11Ghz then the
 Dragonwave is for you -- the new Horizon Quantum is amazing (and pretty
 inexpensive when I priced it out)
 
 Bridgewave isn't bad either - you can get to 1.25Gbps with some fiber
 handoff.

 Hi All,
 
 I need a wireless bridge solution that allows to pass jumbo frames over
 a
 distance of 3 miles, using the 5.8 GHz band. The original solution was
 a
 Proxim Tsunami GX 200, but unfortunately it doesn't go beyond an MTU of
 1536
 bytes: we need at least 1544 bytes, ideally between 4470 and 9212 bytes
 MTU. The handoff should be MM fiber, the desired throughput 200 Mbps.
 
 Thanks,
