Anyone have any recommendations for BCPs or software suggestions on running an open community-based access point (or network)?
MAAWG BCPs on walled gardens (probably coming soon if not already out there). Quite a few ISPs - Bell Canada for example - are already doing this on a large scale. As these coffee shop APs are usually running off a standard DSL line - its not muni wifi as such - a walled garden should nail abuse very fast, and encourage sensible firewalling on the part of the coffee shop owner .. or he'll find that a NAT'ted IP with multiple infected laptops coming and going out of it might be in and out of a walled garden all the time. There's some vendors who concentrate on walled garden stuff - Perftech (www.perftech.com) for example. Arbor and Sandvine too have kit that can be used for this, I believe .. of course, at the edge of an ISP's DSL network. srs
