Re: [nznog] Wireless link adversly affected by the sun?

What sort of antenna do you have? If your link distance is pushing the limits of your hardware, a tiny amount of thermal expansion could potentially reduce the signal past the operating threshold. Unlikely, but possible. Alternatively, could there be other equipment nearby which becomes more active on sunny days? Some sort of secondary effect?

Hi I don't know how relevant it is but the military have known for a while that sun spots (flares) will affect radio trasnmissions. Cheers Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Michael Davies [mailto:michael(a)hereisasite.co.nz] Sent: Tuesday, 1 August 2006 3:48 p.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: [nznog] Wireless link adversly affected by the sun? Hi there, As the subject suggests, I've been noticing an interesting problem with our internet. We're lucky enough to be on the receiving end of a wireless net connection running through Trango broadband hardware, fairly conventional wireless tech. However I've noticed through monitoring the connection with smokeping to various places around the country that the connection quality seems to decrease dramatically through the middle of the day, but not every day. At first I thought that this was simply related to congestion somewhere, but from following the weather a bit I've started noticing that it gets worse on the nice sunny days. For example: Today, a balmy 17 degrees in Dunedin and beautifully sunny all day. Packet loss and jitter begins to increase at about 9am and peaks about 1pm with 60% loss, then at 2pm as if flicking a switch it returns to nearly 0% loss. From looking at the graphs over time, this does happen quite often but not every day and the loss today is definitely the worst I've seen it (but also the warmest/sunniest day we've had in Dunedin for quite a while). Has anyone seen or heard of this happening before? Would there be any way to prevent this - supposing that the sun is the culprit - short of installing a Mr. Burns type sun shield?

Looking glass covering domestic transit?
by Neil Bertram 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Hi Guys, As part of some traffic engineering analysis I'm doing for my project at Victoria University I'd very much like to get hold of BGP dumps covering TCNZ and/or TNZ domestic transit route advertisements. Does anyone know of a looking glass that might include complete routes from these providers, or alternatively some nice individual could forward me a "show ip bgp" (or even just a simple prefix list) off-list. Help much appreciated, and may you have a beer-filled weekend! Thanks, Neil
