[WISPA] USB over IP
Anyone have recommendations or experience with USB over IP devices? I picked up a SIIG device, but am having a hard time getting it to work over a routed network. I've even configured an EoIP tunnel between my house and remote tower, and bridged the interfaces. I've even adjusted MTUs. I can get their software to see the device, but can't manage/control it.

Re: [WISPA] USB over IP
Hmm. Not sure that would work. Maybe some more details on what I'm trying to do... trying to access a Xantrex power/charge controller (one at each tower), but it uses a proprietary Xanbus, which is USB. Xantrex Software - Local USB(Virtual USB) - SIIG USBoIP - Xanbus Adapter - Xantrex Controller Trying to consolidate management of all Xantrex devices onto one management computer running the Xantrex software.

Re: [WISPA] Trees under half mile
So what kinds of distances are people currently going through trees, and what kinds of signals, CCQ, throughput, etc. are you seeing? I guess I'm looking for success stories. I need to sell this to the partners. I know it can be done, and I'm fairly confident it will work in this situation, but they aren't. I've found a few instances online of people going 1 mile with 5.8 through some trees and still pulling off a -65 and 20Mbps of throughput - this was PTP. I know 3.65Ghz is supposed to be somewhere between 2.4 and 5.8 in terms of tree penetration, but I'm thinking this might be a good place to use 3.65, simply because of the lack of noise. I have never worked with 900Mhz as of yet. This was our initial alternative, but there is the added cost of deployment - $160 for a LocoM900 vs $80 for a NanobridgeM2. Literally doubles our ROI.

If you are using airmax - 2.4 should help 5ghz you may have some issues w/ trees however My suggestion is a mix - I noticed that you have not mentioned 900mhz 900 and trees especially at that distance - sub 1 mile is awesome - but doubt you will see the 10mbps speeds you wish. 5ghz is your best choice - if you can use it. setting up both 2.4 and 5ghz sectors may help - double the cost - but in the end - would allow you the most flexibility On Sep 13, 2010, at 6:20 PM, Nick White wrote: om this tower, no one in town would be more than .75 miles away.

[WISPA] Trees under half mile
Hi All, I've got a small town that is literally a 1 mile x 1 mile square. I have two towers, one is North, 10 miles from the town, the other is East, 11 miles from the town. This town is heavily covered by trees. Most customers thus far have no LOS to either tower, or are skimming the tops/sides of trees. Fortunately I'm still able to pull off signals in the -62 to -80 RX range, using a NBM2 or NSM2 for CPE and Rocket M2 for AP. My RX signals at the AP are -69 to -84. I have the possibility to put repeater APs on a radio station tower that is about 2 blocks from the middle of town - approximately 50' off the ground. From this tower, no one in town would be more than .75 miles away. I'm thinking 10Mhz channels - 1, 6, 11. If we do this, I will likely use the UBNT shields that I've seen for sale with three 120deg sectors. Noise levels vary, but there is DSL in town, so a lot of people have wireless APs in-house. My worst noise level on a customer is -83, but they're using a NSM2 instead of NBM2. The customers with NBM2 are typically -100 to -104 noise. Right now I'm just looking for other's input on these kinds of repeater situations? Experience with trees? What signal levels through trees, under 1 mile distance? How about 5.8Ghz or 3.65Ghz? How about CCQ with trees? I would like to ultimately be able to provide 10+Mbps burstable service, as there is DSL in this town. WISPA Wants You!

Agreed. We've run HP and Dell servers for years and have been happy, but we had no idea what we were missing once we virtualized everything. We purchased a Dell blade chassis and three blade servers to start with. Loaded VMware and have been blown away with the performance, availability, power savings and features. A server to us now amounts to just a file within VMware that we can copy, backup or move wherever we please with a simple cut paste. If VMware sees a server go down or a host within your cluster fail it will automatically fire up the affected servers on a different host. Really cool stuff... The chassis will hold 16 blades, but just the three blades we have now are probably 100x the power of the two 42U cabinets stuffed with servers they replaced!

Re: [WISPA] DOS attack
http://staros.tog.net/wiki/List_of_APNIC_IP_Blocks
There is a more up to date list somewhere, but at a previous company I
worked for we ended up blocking lots of APNIC. Saw way too many
scans/hack-attempts/DOS from them. Occasionally had a customer (twice in
five years) complain about no access to their Russian/Asian bride sites
- in those cases we track down the server's IP or subnet and unblock.

there are a few ways to investigate a suspect DOS attack.
First and foremost you want to take a peek at your incoming
connections.
Do you see a large influx of incoming traffic?
If so - are you able to identify where it is coming from?
Chances are if you know where it is coming from you can simply ask
your provider to null route the traffic ahead of you.
Commands like netstat -na can be a great friend in these cases if
you have the ability to place something in between the connections.
I personally love PFSense for this reason. PFSense can operate
as a transparent firewall (and many other things... ) But for
Free - it is an excellent tool - loads on virtually any x86
system with 2 NIC cards.
Anyhow - Folks that do Dos or DDos (Distributed Denial of
Service) generally attack port 80 as well as mail ports.
Many WISPs will keep port 80 open to the general public so they
can reach the radio's configuration windows.
While it is not something I would suggest - for a variety of
reasons - chances are the port 80 of a customers radio is what is
getting wacked.
Generally dDos come in as udp packets to other ports - simply
because of how UDP works - it does not cause them as much of an
issue as it would you.
So - a few commands might help here.
netstat -lpn | grep :80 | awk '{print $5}'|cut -d: -f 1|sort|uniq
-c|sort -nk 1
you can change the 80 above to any port you wish such as 25 for
smtp, 53 for dns/named , etc etc etc...
This should show you the # of connections from a specific IP.
If you have a small # of connections from very large numbers of IP
addresses - then chances are you might be under DDOS.
If there are a very large # of connections from just a few ip's
than it should be simple enough to ask the ISP to block or null
route those IP addresses.
One last note -
You might want to check the IP's against nslookup or use the
DNSStuff.com http://DNSStuff.com toolset.
I have helped a few through these over the years and when they
block the DNS servers many folks use like 208.67.222.222 or
8.8.8.8 it really stinks for folks... for sure.
So you want to make sure you are blocking the right thing of course.
Are you running anything like NTOP ? There are a few simple
things to have in place to watch incoming traffic when needed vs
hoping that it goes away...
Kick back to me if your lost - and we can go off list for some help

After digging into everything I could put my hands on, I

problems. They of course said no. At 430 that afternoon I got a
call from one of their engineers stating that they had
experienced a DOS attack that was affecting certain customers.
They made some changes and it actually seemed to work better
than before. Even my latency times had dropped. Today the
problem seems to be creeping back to the same way it was Friday.
My question is, is there a way to determine in the future that
this is happening. Is there something specific that would lead
me to the conclusion that in fact that is what is going on.
