I sense high degree of manipulative behavior there. You sure "missed out" lol! Good riddance to asshats is what I say. Life's far too short to deal with yahoos like this. From: AF On Behalf Of Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 12:39 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Cc: Chuck McCown

Re: [AFMUG] Shadenfreude

Lol We get about equal service tickets for fiber and wireless customers, but our fiber footprint is about 3x wireless and over half of the fiber plant is almost a decade old. I attribute my excellent wireless skillz and awesome group of dedicated employees to that though. From: AF On Behalf

Re: [AFMUG] Tik 1072 watchdog reboot bug

Exactly this below. We used 1072 units as core Edge/BGP and OSPF/MPLS only, no connection tracking. We upgraded from 1072 to 2116 units v7 on all edge units and 2004 v7 on all core units and also all access units using connection tracking. The 2004 units are great little processors of traffic,

Re: [AFMUG] Tik 1072 watchdog reboot bug

That’s a nice setup with the MX204 and A10. Since we upgraded to like 20+ CCR2004 units running V7 and 5 CCR2216 units we have had no issues with our edge, core and access network running CGNAT. We separate roles on separate hardware so each major site has local CGNAT on one 2004 for access, and

Re: [AFMUG] BGP Question

We have migrated from v6.x to v7.7 and v7.8 now. OSPF seems to work fine interacting between the two versions, just have to copy over some settings appropriately is all. From: AF On Behalf Of Mark - Myakka Technologies Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2023 9:03 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Grou

Re: [AFMUG] BGP Question

We did not have to do that. But we did set some values the same/similar in the OSPF interfaces. Maybe it’s a matter of implementation, but we do not use broadcast on interfaces and we do not use md5. From: AF On Behalf Of Steve Jones Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2023 9:21 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwa

Re: [AFMUG] compensation for employees

Just feel at this point. We pay our installers (internet roof top, fttp etc) around $24 an hour. Labor it's too hard, merit based incremental pay raises about 3-4 percent a year after they have been at this level. Managers around $60k to $90k a year with full benefits, again 3 percent raises on

Re: [AFMUG] Gigabit speeds

A lot of the Ookla speed test servers around here are 10Gbps and easily do Gigabit. You can host your own public server too and just put it on your network to assure you have good path. -Original Message- From: AF On Behalf Of Matt Hoppes Sent: Saturday, November 9, 2019 9:03 AM To:

Re: [AFMUG] MPLS

Well put. Capacity/speed is an issue with me, so I think I introduced some possible bottlenecks above 4.5Gbps using MPLS/VPLS in my own network which is Mikrotik. VPLS endpoints I don’t think were/are hardware offloaded, so required some great CPU capacity at the edge and core for large transpor
