Suggestions for router with 3G external antenna for remote site comms
by Darren Moss 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hi All, We have a bunch of regional sites (weather probes) that run some equipment, 2 PCs and are connected to the internet. At the moment it's dongle city which I would like to change over to something a little better :) I am looking for suggestions on a decent (business grade) router with 3G capability an external antenna connection. At each site, the equipment sits in a rack, inside a hut and signal strength is reasonable (3/5). My thinking is to deploy a basic Cisco router with a 3G WIC then an external antenna on the same mast where we collect weather data. Happy to hear suggestions and input. Many thanks Darren.

Operators and the IETF
by Brian E Carpenter 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Following up on the lightning talk I just gave in Rotorua: The IETF is concerned that we're not getting enough operator input at the time it counts: when specifications are being developed, years before they come out in software or hardware. There's been an effort to investigate the reasons for this problem, prior to trying to fix it. Everybody involved in Internet operations is welcome - indeed needed - to contribute. Full length presentation: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/91/slides/slides-91-opsawg-0.pdf IETF draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-opsawg-operators-ietf Mailing list (anyone can join): http://snozzages.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/synergy Internet Society page: https://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/operators-and-the-ietf/ How to get started with the IETF without further ado: http://www.ietf.org/newcomers.html Regards Brian Carpenter

bufferbloat talk at nznog friday
by Dave Taht 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

I am curious as to what aspects of bufferbloat I should cover more deeply in my upcoming talk at nznog this friday? http://www.nznog.org/home/2015-papers Most of my own personal focus has been on speeding up the edge of the internet, and now wifi, while I have a feeling I should touch upon more on island-to-world connectivity and satellite connectivity issues for this audience. We've given plenty of talks in the past. See talks by van jacobson, jim gettys, jesper dangaurd-bauer, Stephen hemminger, Eric Dumazet, Toke Hoiland Jorgensen, here: http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Bloat-videos And the manifesto for FQ+AQM here: https://gettys.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/low-latency-requires-smart-queuing-… So... To what extent do NZNOG folk already grok the causes and cures for bufferbloat? I'm perfectly willing to drop my usual detailed explanation of how tcp bandwidth probing works and talk abut new stuff going on, and wifi, if desired... talk more to bandwidth management and traffic engineering tools, etc. ... there is someone here today doing mikrotik training, and as yet only mikrotik only supports SFQ, not fq_codel. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89221 http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63594 I have a pair of slides on the differences between SFQ and fq_codel. ... And so on. I'm here all week... I've borrowed a NZ vm, run a few experiments worldwide, am fiddling with some parameters... -- Dave Täht http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Upcoming_Talks
