Inside China GFW - basic dedicated server or cloud instance
by Andrius Kasparavicius 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Business needs some permanent basic browser/tcp/ip view from *inside China great firewall* (Hong Kong or unfirewalled locations not good) for connectivity testing, troubleshooting for customers in China. Ideally just a dedicated windows box/server. Are there any simple providers with self-provisioning VPS or similar low cost solutions. Best to have it on ChinaTel network. No hosting or content would be shared from this box. Thanks

I am about to inherit 26 miles of dark fiber. What do I do with it?
by Lorell Hathcock 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

All: A job opportunity just came my way to work with 26 miles of dark fiber in and around a city in Texas. The intent is for me to deliver internet and private network services to business customers in this area. I relish the thought of starting from scratch to build a network right from the start instead of inheriting and fixing someone else's mess. That being said, what suggestions does the group have for building a new network using existing dark fiber? MPLS backbone? Like all businesses these days, I will likely have to build the lit backbone as I add customers. So how would you recommend scaling the network? I have six strands of SMF that connect within municipal facilities. Each new customer will be a new build out from the nearest point. Because of having only six strands, I don't anticipate selling dark fiber. I believe I need to conserve fibers so that it would be lit services that I offer to customers. I would like to offer speeds up to 10 GB. Thoughts are appreciated! Sincerely, Lorell Hathcock

Undefined terms overload
by Larry Sheldon 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I was able to ignore it for a while, but now I have run into one in two unrelated threads. What does "bikeshedding" mean here? And, what does "OOB" mean here--the decodes with which I am familiar do not seem to fit: Out of Bounds, Out Of Body, Out of Bed, Out of Business, Open Of Business (used to see this one many times daily), Out Of Bullets, Out Of Band (also familiar from telephone days). -- The unique Characteristics of System Administrators: The fact that they are infallible; and, The fact that they learn from their mistakes.
