Hey - We're currently looking for a small lt2p/pptp concentrator, mainly so people can connect via their iphones/androids with some vpn client to get email on the go. Does anyone have any boxes that they love/hate? Thanks for the advice Leslie

Would anyone on list be kind enough to provide an iperf server for testing through a Level3 link in Miami? Atlanta or other close nodes should work as well. Throughput <100Mbps. Thanks in advance.

SNMP, Static NAT and management systems including servers midwear and applications
by Bobby Mac 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hi All: I have been asked to extend the capabilities of my current monitoring and management system to another division of the company. All IP space is rfc1918 with no public routed space in the mix. Needless to say, and rightfully so, the network folks won't allow me to directly attach my management network to theirs. I use SNMP for system level monitoring for all servers via agents on the servers (WIN and NIX). Static NAT will be put into place but it breaks my SNMP gets used by the noc to validate CPU, disk util ect.. In a quick test NAT on my own network was set up and I can receive traps and parse them fine even with the NAT as the current trap receiver and visualization can handle incoming traps and NAT. I can see system IP and peer IP fulfilling the two sides. I know I can create an simple ALG via a Apache server with Perl to execute the SNMP get on the foreign network. Noc folks can see data and import it into the ticket (no blind escalations). My question is how have others handled SNMP and static NATs without a ground up re-architecture. I don't want to bring in new protocols and change my systems as they are today due to the heavy integration with provisioning, work flow and process flows. They have worked well to date besides the huge sunk $ investment in software and integration. I have been looking for a complex ALG but there doesn't seem to be much out there and I would rather not manipulate the payload, but map it correctly. Any suggestions? -Bob

Is there a gmail SMTP expert in the house?

Gmail just bounced some mail to the RFC822 From: address rather than the RFC821 MAIL FROM:. And http://mail.google.com/support/ won't let you report a problem unless you have a gmail account.

Sven, I think several less-democratic nations have already proven that if they require total control of the internet within the boundaries of their country (sic) they can and will implement this anyhow. They don't require ITU nor the UN for this. They will just demand Cisco and Google to implement it and the corporate chiefs will just answer "How soon?"... > methods available to isps/telcos to stop this: > > - point out to governments that -we- own the internet You don't 'own' the internet, at most you own the infra within your own AS. At least you and others don't own my part of the internet :) >their economy runs >over it as a "courtesy" and that we can send them back to the stoneage at >any time we like by simply dropping 'their' traffic. Now that is a very smart thing to say. Another reason for the UN to gain total control...

Oh please Sven, let's not go there :) > we have the biggest stick in this matter. *bzzzz* Sorry, wrong again. The government ultimately draws the longest straw. Always... If they want to, they will.
