I have been on this list for about 2 weeks, just observing the discussions. I have primarily worked with wireless service providers in the past who are fairly low budget operators. Some of the things I've observed about this group are: * This list seems to be populated by better funded operations (whether that means larger or just better at getting funding may remain to be seen) * Most of the operators on this list seem to be pretty good at their work and the questions seem to revolve around more complex issues * There seems to be a number of corporate network operators on this list as opposed to access network operators (such as ISPs and such) I hope you all don't take this as an affront and get offended, as that's not my intent. I am just making some simple observations. Having said this, I wanted to introduce myself and see if this is a list that I need to participate in actively. I am a network engineer and consultant. I have worked in the past with Cisco, Juniper and other similar "higher end" type devices, but it's been a while since I had customers who use that gear. Most of my current customer base are smaller operators who can pinch a penny in half. :-) I do a lot of work with MikroTik RouterOS, ImageStream and other Linux based devices. I do engineering, training, hardware sales and such for networks all over the world. I am likely to continue to monitor the list for questions that are in my area of expertise, but wondered if these devices I mention are "common" to operators on this list. I know that I have not caught a discussion that involved any of them so far (other than one reference to an OpenBSD solution a day or two ago). Anyway, hello to the list and I look forward to finding a home among this group.
