Network Notifcation - SMS via Verizon
by Gregory Boehnlein 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hello, We have been discussing adding a wireless SMS based option to our TAP and SMTP delivery systems. We are running Nagios. In looking at the list archives, I found the following thread: http://www.irbs.net/internet/nanog/0408/0039.html Lots of great suggestions.. In looking at the options, it seems that Gnokii seems to be a well used solution to integrate a GSM or GPRS based phone/modem for text messaging. However, I am trying to determine if anyone is doing this with Verizon right now. Our existing Cell contract is w/ Verizon and so we want to avoid the potential of lost SMS messages in hopping from say T-mobile or Cingular to Verizon. So.. anyone doing SMS notification to Verizon w/ a wireless GSM/GPRS or Cell Phone solution? If so, you want to share how you are doing it? Thanks in advance..

Blackberry List
by Justin Pauler - Lists 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hello everyone... I realize this isn't the right forum for this, so, does anyone have a Blackberry list that has discussions much like what we do here? Even better, that might have information or alerts for when there are issues? I'm seeing an issue right now where phones from two independant providers have not recieved updates from two independant BES servers since 2:30 PM CST (that's now about 2 1/2 hours). Justin

Level3 transit issues in NE?
by Ross Vandegrift 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hey everyone, We've been seeing reachability issues to prefixes on Level3's network since early this morning. Paths that take L3 via XO seem to be displaying the same problems. Our Level3 peer is in Philadelphia, XO peer is in NYC. We have not been able to get a call back from Level3 since 5am. Has anyone heard any info regarding this? -- Ross Vandegrift ross(a)kallisti.us "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell." --St. Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37

Ran across this at Wired today, and it seemed apropos to recent events: http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/01/gallery_simon?slide=10&… I particularly liked the photographer's observation: "There's a humor because the cables are so important, yet they look so unguarded and unimportant," Simon said. they probably look even more unguarded and unimportant on the seafloor ... -- darkuncle(a){gmail.com,darkuncle.net} || 0x5537F527 http://darkuncle.net/pubkey.asc for public key

Video Conferencing: Products, and Issues with Network Bandwidth and Security
by Jon R. Kibler 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi All, I have a client that wants to implement video conferencing. They would like to have multiple video participants and collaborative whiteboards. Anyone have any experience with such products? Comments and/or recommendations on products? More to the point of this post... what are the network and security issues associated with VC? For example: -- Would it be reasonable to expect that a remote user on a DSL connection to be able to VPN into a WAN and participate? -- Are most of the products multicast? If so, what are the security issues with multicast and will it work through, for example, a Cisco VPN client tunnel? -- What are the typical network bandwidth requirements? Are they per participant based or some other basis? -- What are the general security issues with VC? Can it be run through an IPSec tunnel or does that break it? Any ideas for good sources of information? Google doesn't seem to provide me with much usable information when trying to answer these types of questions. THANKS! Jon K. -- Jon R.
