comcast metro-e questions
by Mike 14 Nov '15

14 Nov '15

Hi, Anyone here using comcast metro-e? I'd like to hear the good, bad and the ugly. I have a call in to sales but it being the weekend I won't be expecting a response, but I'm also wondering off the top of my head on general ballpark pricing for gigE? Thanks. Mike-

Re:Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements

We have done lots of 1Gbit testing in last months while improving our own speed tester for 1Gbit. We found Speedtest.net very inaccurate on 1Gbit (especially in IE) If anyone is interested in our test results feel free to have a look here> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6260259/BSC%20HTML5%20Speedtest%20vs%20… Our test setup was - We spawned 2x 1Gbit network instances on Amazon EC2 and measured throughput between them. We found DSLReports being much more accurate, on top of being HTML5 based. Of course we are very biased because we offer speed test as well, but I hope it prompts someone to verify if results from Ookla on 1Gbit connections are what they expect.

In the mean time I will just test 1 Gbps speeds off a copper GE port, but want the SFP+ capability so I don't have to repurchase hardware in the next year. Thanks!

Another puck.nether.net Outage?
by Crist Clark 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

There hasn't been a any traffic on the puck.nether.net list to which I am subscribed since the 10th. I sent something to cisco-nsp yesterday and retried today, and nothing has come through. Is it me or puck? I apologize for using NANOG for this, but jared's email is puck.nether.net too; something OOB is needed. I know there are many, many people here who also follow puck.nether.net lists and some may have another way to reach him.

Environmental Graph Interpretation
by Lorell Hathcock 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

NANOG: Are there any one the list that would care to take a look at some graphs of temperature, relative humidity and dew point that I have for two locations. In one of the two locations, I'm having a problem with the floor getting wet (condensation?). At the other everything is just fine. I need to understand what these graphs are telling me about the problem and if a simple dehumidifier would solve my moisture problem. Any takers? Oh, the environmental monitor I installed in each location is the IT Watchdog from Geist Global. I bought the POE version. Installed like a charm and was $229 plus shipping. I do wonder if this question is off topic, but then I can hear myself saying "Hey, I'm Operating a Network, here! In North America!" And then I think, "Yep, on topic!"

It seems like there's a large outage going on with CenturyLink and Bell Canada. The CenturyLink outage seems to be US wide and seems to have been going on for a half day. Anyone know what's going on?

If the temperature of the floor is below the dew point, then it will sweat. Maybe there's a cold wind blowing underneath the gap? --Jakob > -----Original Message----- > Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 17:25:04 -0600 > From: "Lorell Hathcock" <lorell(a)hathcock.org> > > It is on the ground floor, but it is in a hut that has a wood floor that is > raised off the ground.
