ASN Domain for rDNS

It's a major threat to rural WISPs and all competitive ISPs. Here's why. The FCC is demanding that ISPs become "Eligible Telecommunications Carriers," or ETCs, before they can receive money from it. An ETC is a telephone company which is regulated under the mountain of regulations, requirements, and red tape of Title II of the Telecomm Act. It has to report to both state regulatory agencies AND the FCC. It's a classification that doesn't fit ISPs at all, but they would have to subject themselves to this heavy-handed regulation before they could get a dime from the fund. The FCC just announced a "rural broadband experiment" in which it will fund ETCs, but not pure-play ISPs, to build out rural broadband; see http://www.fcc.gov/document/rural-broadband-experiments-order As part of this experiment, the FCC will pay telephone companies to overbuild us, even though the residents of the areas in question already have service. This is because, as far as the regulators are concerned, if they do not have their regulatory hooks in us, we don't exist and any service we provide does not count. The "experiment" also requires participants to tie up large amounts of money in escrow accounts so that they can obtain "letters of credit" guaranteeing performance. All of this is, alas, the regulators' way of attempting to destroy those whom they cannot regulate. IMHO, the USF is outmoded and should be disbanded. --Brett Glass -- Fletcher Kittredge GWI 8 Pomerleau Street Biddeford, ME 04005-9457 207-602-1134
Re: Optic Vendor Coding Question
Check on ebay for a SFP / SFP+ programmer. You can then buy cheap optics from fiberstore.com and code them to any vendor. You could 'clone' one of your current dell optics to the generic ones. Keefe On 3/5/2015 10:44 AM, Joe Greco wrote: Do Dell 8132s have SFP+ vendor code issues? As in, do they not-work with non-Dell optics? They don't work with Intel SR optics (whatever it is that comes with the X520-SR's). They do seem to work with generic Finisar 1GB optics. Since the Dell branded FTLX8571D3BCL SR's seem to go for only $20-$30 on eBay I haven't been highly motivated to identify other 10GB modules that work/don't-work. The strategy here has been to simply load up 10GB gear with compatible SR optics and then forget about it. I'm guessing that's not helpful because you're probably interested in non-SR optics, but feel free to ping me if you think I might be able to answer further questions. #show interfaces transceiver properties Yes: Dell QualifiedNo: Not Qualified N/A : Not Applicable Port TypeMedia Serial Number Dell Qualified - --- - - -- Te1/0/3 SFP 1000BASE-TPL7 No Te1/0/4 SFP 1000BASE-TPKL No Te1/0/5 SFP+10GBASE-SRAL3 Yes Te1/0/6 SFP+10GBASE-SRAK3 Yes Te1/0/7 SFP+10GBASE-SRAP9 Yes Te1/0/8 SFP+10GBASE-SRAP9 Yes Te1/0/9 SFP+10GBASE-SRAP9 Yes Te1/0/10 SFP+10GBASE-SRAP9 Yes Te1/0/11 SFP+10GBASE-SRAJC Yes Te1/0/12 SFP+10GBASE-SRAL2 Yes Te1/0/13 SFP+10GBASE-SRAJQ Yes Te1/0/14 SFP+10GBASE-SRAP9 Yes Te1/0/15 SFP+10GBASE-SRAHG Yes Te1/0/16 SFP+10GBASE-SRAJQ Yes Te1/0/17 SFP 1000BASE-TPKL No Te1/0/18 SFP 1000BASE-TPL7 No Te1/0/19 UNKNOWN N/A H11 N/A Te1/0/20 UNKNOWN N/A P11 N/A Te1/0/22 UNKNOWN N/A H51 N/A Te1/0/23 SFP+10GBASE-CU1M 22808 Yes Te1/0/24 SFP+10GBASE-CU1M 11560 Yes Fo1/1/2 QSFP40GBASE-CR4-1MCN0V42N6F37 Yes The 19, 20, 22 SFP's are Finisar 1GB, the 1000baseT are Dell branded but apparently not qualified for use in the switch.

Re: Low Cost 10G Router
For about $1000 you could get a Mikrotik CCR1036-8G-2S+EM but it only has 2 SFP+ ports. http://routerboard.com/CCR1036-8G-2SplusEM Keefe On 5/19/2015 3:46 PM, Joe Greco wrote: How cheap is cheap and what performance numbers are you looking for? About as cheap as you can get: For about $3,000 you can build a Supermicro OEM system with an 8-core Xeon E5 V3 and 4-port 10G Intel SFP+ NIC with 8G of RAM running VyOS. The pro is that BGP convergence time will be good (better than a 7200 VXR), and number of tables likely won't be a concern since RAM is cheap. The con is that you're not doing things in hardware, so you'll have higher latency, and your PPS will be lower. What 8 core Xeon E5 v3 would that be? The 26xx's are hideously pricey, and for a router, you're probably better off with something like a Supermicro X10SRn fsvo "n" with a Xeon E5-1650v3. Board is typically around $300, 1650 is around $550, so total cost I'm guessing closer to $1500-$2000 that route. The edge you get there is the higher clock on the CPU. Only six cores and only 15M cache, but 3.5GHz. The E5-2643v3 is three times the cost for very similar performance specs. Costwise, E5 single socket is the way to go unless you *need* more. ... JG
