Canada'a broadband technoogies
by Jean-Francois Mezei 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

The CRTC is embarking on a multi year study/consultation of what to do with our lagging broadband deployment. Just yesterday, the government bragged about a multi milliuon subsidy to give a community 3mbps service. Can't help but to participate ... So I would like some feedback/sanity checks on a few issues. There is of course a large disconnect between marketed speeds and actual capacity and delivered speeds. 1- Satellite internet I am aware of latest generation satellites that provide focused antennas allowing re-use of the same spectrum for different regions. What sort of bandwidth is realistic for service to customers ? Australia's original NBN has 12mbps service planned for those in remote regions via satellite. Is this realistic ? Or is 3mbps really the max that can reliably be expected ? In terms of latency, would the special routers that "proxy" the TCP acks at both ends of the satellite link be commonplace now ? Still custom jobs ? or do modern TCP stacks now deal effectively with very high latency such that streaming data via satellite no longer requires special equipment to use bandwidth effectively ? For other protocols such as UDP etc, is latency an issue to be concerned with ? 2- Underwater fibre. There has been a project to string fibre from Tokyo to London via the canadian arctic. http://arcticfibre.com/ One aspect of this project are landings are various island that have canadian communities (which rely exclusively on satellite for telephone/data). While dumping fibre underwater is common, landing it in arctic areas is less common (think ice pack movement scraping bottom of shores). The folks on web site say they had done research on this. Are there examples where this was done succcesfully ? Or is this still something that is new and untested ? 3- Permafrost Ok, not an issue in USA, but wondering if there is knowledge of string long fibre cables on land that is permafrost (think Dawson City to Inuvik, roughly 700km). Has Russia or other nordic countries done this ? or are microwave link at regular intervals still the only/best way with vew structures built on the unstable ground ? I'd appreciate any insight/opinions on what is realistic and what is pipe dream.

Looking at acquiring some additional IPv4 address space. Anyone have suggestions or recommendations on brokers you've worked with, and is ARIN's STLS a good option? Thanks in advance for your input. -- Brian Free

[NANOG-announce] 2015 Postel Scholarship Announcement
by Betty Burke <betty＠nanog.org> 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Colleagues, On behalf of the North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) and the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), I would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the 2015 Postel Network Operator's Scholarship. The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship targets personnel from developing countries who are actively involved in Internet development, in any of the following roles: - Engineers (Network Builders) - Operational and Infrastructure Support Personnel - Educators and Trainers This is not a postgraduate fellowship or academic scholarship. Individuals may nominate themselves for the Scholarship via email or online form. The Scholarship will be awarded annually to a recipient selected by a committee comprising representatives from the NANOG Board of Directors and the ARIN Board of Trustees. The selection committee will "whimsically" select the annual recipient exclusively in response to the question: "What Would Jon Do?" if he were asked to select a recipient. The successful applicant will be provided with transportation to and from the NANOG and ARIN joint meeting October 5-9, 2015, in Montreal, Quebec Canada, and a reasonable (local host standard) allowance for food and accommodation. In addition, all fees for participation in both meetings' events will be waived. The final grant size is determined according to final costs and available funding. The chosen recipient will be advised at least 2 months prior to the fall meeting date. Applications from qualified individuals are now being accepted. The deadline for application is July 31, and the awardees will be informed by August 10, 2015. Please read full information about the scholarship at: http://www.nanog.org/scholarships/postel.php To apply, please complete the web-based application form that is linked from that page. Optionally, you may submit your application in PLAIN ASCII in the BODY of the message, not as an attachment nor as a Word document, PDF, or any other form, to PostelNOS(a)nanog.org. Please be sure to include the following: - Full name and contact info - Your brief biography, including current and recent jobs held - A description of why you need and deserve this Scholarship to attend the NANOG and ARIN meetings - A description of how you plan to leverage your attendance at the meetings in your work - A brief abstract of a presentation you would give at the NANOG and/or ARIN meetings, if selected as a Scholarship winner Kind regards, Betty Burke on behalf of the Postel Scholarship Selection Committee ------------------------------------------------ Betty J.
