Re: [WISPA] Ticketing software

2014-08-16 Thread Faisal Imtiaz
The answer depends on what you want it to do ? 

Most billing packages (ISP) have some sort of a ticketing system with them... 

If you are looking for email centeric ticketing system, look at Kayako... 

keep in mind that it is always desirable to have customer related tickets in 
the same system as your billing system.. 

(I guess what I am saying is while you are asking about a ticketing system, 
maybe you need to be looking for a billing system which has ticketing built 
in) 

:)

Re: [WISPA] Download of Copyrighted Material - What do you do?

2014-08-16 Thread Justin Wilson
I will only consider requests to the registered agent contact information.
This e-mail has an auto-responder which asks for a non form letter to be
e-mailed and USPS mailed.  Once these two criteria have been met we will
respond accordingly.  Since e-mail has no verified Identity I have no way of
knowing if they are who they say they are.  In our response we ask for a
telephone call at the least to verify identity, but prefer a certified
letter.

I understand that in order for an ISP to limit its liability regarding the
copyright infringements of its customers, it must comply with the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act, in particular its ³notice and take down² and
³"counter notice and put back² procedures.
 
I believe these procedures are compliant:
 
===
 
a.   Analyze the notification to make sure it contains content that
complies with these provisions:
 
(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
 
(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed,
or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a
single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
 
(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to
be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to
which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the
service provider to locate the material.
 
(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to
contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if
available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be
contacted.
 
(v) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use
of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
 
(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and
under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
 
b.  If the notification substantially complies with clauses (ii), (iii),
and (iv) but not other clauses, reply to the notification requesting
clarification.
 
c.   Once the notification substantially complies with all clauses,
disable access to the infringing content (for example, by shutting down
bittorrent on the customer¹s connection) and contact the customer to inform
them of the notification and that access to the content has been disabled.
 
d.  Inform the notifier that appropriate action has been taken and
request to be informed if the infringement recurs.
 

e.   If the customer confirms that they have removed the infringing
material from their system, and if requested, reenable bittorrent on their
connection.

We forward the notice to offending customer and let them know that uploading 
and downloading of copyright content is not allowed. Recently we've been 
getting more notices and several from the same people. So I've started 
suspending the account until they call and acknowledge the notice we've sent 
them. 

I'm really not trying to be the bittorrent police. However, when someone 
downloads 56Gb in three days of torrents and doesn't respond to the emails. We

Not telling them to pirate.  Lots of legit reasons for P2P.  If I am
connecting to only encrypted peers then the ³script kiddies² have a harder
time seeing what folks are doing.  It does not make them anonymous, no more
than nat makes your home network secure.  However, it does act like nat by
clouding the data some.

Many of these ³law firms² have interns sitting around all day scouring p2p
sites.  If they find someone and their data is harder to lookup they simply
move on.  The more sophisticated ones have programs which automate all this.
If you are harder to see then you get put to the bottom of the list.

I did a test about a year ago.  Put 2 mac minis in a co-lo.  Spent two days
downloading everything that was hot on the trackers.  On had a client only
connecting to encrypted peers.  The other did not.   The unencrypted client
received 10 or so notices.  The other only received two.  The watchers can
run encrypted peers too, but the data is harder to get.

+1 for Dude for network map and >24 hour bandwidth monitoring on links/ap's
and PTP signal strengths. I would be lost with out it. It's very handy to
just scroll over to a tower, right click on the back haul and open it in a
web browser or open a router just by right clicking on it, etc.

+1 for Cacti-EZ. I use it for long term monitoring of all my router
bandwidth, 95th percentile, etc.

I'm moving over to Powercode's monitoring for our main core infrastructure
equipment monitoring and notification, etc.

I also run Smokeping for long term latency monitoring. it makes pretty
graphs. :)

For most of our folks we use a combination of the Dude from Mikrotik and
Nagios, and usually throw in Cacti.  The dude is easy to understand, doubles
as network documentation, and is good for the CSR folks to look at a glance.
Dude can also replace Cacti if you desire.  It just doesn’t create pretty
graphs.  We mainly use cacti for co-lo and bandwidth customers.  It
calculates 95th percentile internally. You can also setup cacti to graph all
kinds of stuff you don’t necessarily want to monitor, but are helpful to
keep track of. For example, wireless signal/ccq/jitter/whatever, BGP routes,
temperature, voltage, and other SNMP data.

Nagios is great at knowing the difference between latency and a link
actually being down.  It has a ton of extra knowledge about stuff you don’t
find in the Dude.  Nagios has a learning curve for sure, but it’s worth it.
If you use the newer versions or even the paid version that learning curve
isn’t as steep. Nagios also can do distributed monitoring to split up load
or make your monitoring a little more fault tolerant.

My monitoring box has a VM with Dude,  a VM with Nagios, and a VM with
Cacti.  The only reason Cacti is separated is because I like to use
cacti-ez.  It sets everything up and away it goes.

Subject:  Re: [WISPA] Network Monitoring Program

I have inherited a very old version of Nagios and we also use The Dude from
Mikrotik.

That's what we have installed here right now, not a recommendation. ;-)

I am very interested to hear what other people are using, too.
