Muni Fiber Last Mile - a contrary opinion
by Jay Ashworth 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

I was poking around to see what the current received wisdom was as to average install cost per building for suburban municipal home-run fiber, and ran across this article, which discusses the topic, and itemizes several large such deployments that "failed" or had to be sold private. I'd be interested to see what comments nanogers have on this piece. I'm not well enough read to critically evaluate the guy's assertions. http://www.digitalsociety.org/2010/03/why-municipal-fiber-has-not-succeeded/ Cheers, -- jra

Wireless IPv6
by Cameron Byrne 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Folks, I googled around and could not find anything on this. Can anyone share their experience with IPv6 on the Verizon's LTE network? It is my understanding that it would be a dual-stack service, but i have not seen any screenshots or reviews that mention anything about IPv6 at all from a users perspective. Cameron ps. T-Mobile USA has an IPv6 beta with nokia device http://bit.ly/9s0Ed3 pps. 22 pages of reviews and such focused on the N900 operating with IPv6 here http://goo.gl/cUUga

FWIW, the same does not appear to be true of the Verizon 3G network. (Not that anyone expected it to be.) My VZW device has a NATted v4 address and only link-local v6.

Just to update the group, a helpful person sent me a screenshot of the VZW LTE connection manager, and it does indeed have a public IPv6 address an a 10.x.x.x IPv4 address. So, true to claim, the new LTE service available today on USB sticks is production dual-stack. Bravo! Cameron ====== http://groups.google.com/group/tmoipv6beta ======

Public Wireless access (ticket / token / schedule based)
by Bill Lewis 28 Dec '10

What is everyone using for enterprise grade wireless authentication for simple public access (i.e. users that are non-employee that need internet access (non-PCI) while in your building). Obviously I will hang this off a DMZ switch outside of my private LAN. Looking for something vendor driven, don't have time for anything home grown or unsupported / community based. Thanks, Bill Lewis Hot Topic

Cheap home CPE troubles
by Mike 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hi, Well as is customary in our part of the country (Northern California), with the stormy weather comes brownouts and blackouts comes a massive influx of end users with locked up and malfunctioning home networking equipment. Every single time the power sneezes, massive waves of customers just 'go down' and then I get to pick the pieces all up by talking to each individual and instructing them how to pull the power and then plug it back in, or worse, their cpe needs to have it's settings restored since the internal flash memories got cleared or corrupted. We see this in the cheap home gear all the time. Makes me mad since linksys/netgear/motorola got away with the customers money and incurs ZERO support costs or any apparent liability for their product, where we in turn get to deal with upset subscribers who have been 'down for days...' while all the time the solution - powercycling - was within reach. Is there anyone who has a script or process or policy concerning unreliable customer equipments and how to effectively deal with unsophisticated home users? I mean, users with business oriented gear (eg: cisco 26xx, 8xx, pix, and the like), and doubly especially those with working standby UPS, we never ever hear from and they have extreme uptimes, but home users aren't willing to hear $500 - $800 in gear is required to 'make it work all the time'. They interpret that to mean that there's just something wrong with us since WE 'require' such expensive and exotic equipment in order to work right, and they would be better off somewhere else. Any comments? Mike-
