Linux WiFi Package Issues

[Pascal Masha]

Hello All,

I have been wondering whether there is any known issue with the Linux WiFi
package since the last 3 days or so? I'm Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS 64bit Distro
and WiFi has been dropping almost every 5 minutes. A colleague on another
Linux Disto also contacted me about the same thing. Has anyone in the
community experienced the same issue?

Regards

Geo-location - IP Location Websites

[Pascal Masha]

Dear All,

If you are running a website that provides IP Location data; it's only fair
that you be updating your data fast enough (not more than a month) and poll
the correct information provided by the respective RIRs and more especially
if other services rely on your data to lock services.

Apart from that, how do you all get them to quickly change their records
especially for a block that you recovered from one country and moved to
another within the same RIR region/continent?

Regards,
Paschal Masha.

Hi Folks,

Has anyone implemented flowspec on Cisco ASR terminating PPPoE users.
Flowspec rules should apply to the addresses assigned to PPPoE customers.
If yes, kindly share configuration samples..

Re: AFRINIC placed in receivership

[Pascal Masha]

AFRINIC has the right to reclaim those resources should it prove that usage
of such is not in any way beneficial to the continent in which it's
mandated to operate and support.
We will not defend CI or Lu Heng for persisting in this, we the members
felt it's a blackmail and the action taken by AFRNIC was in good faith.
Anyone supporting such actions as those taken by CI and its sympathizers is
against democracy and fair utilization/usage of global number resources and
by extension; I dare say, not a Mandolorian. This is the way!

Re: AFRINIC placed in receivership

[Pascal Masha]

NO Owen, we can't have a single rogue member bring a whole entity that is
mandated with an important task for the continent to a stand still just
because they can twist the law and quote bylaws or manipulate processes.

This is WRONG and shall remain to be so no matter how repeated and
"fancily" satinize it with a good read of the mandalorians ways of life.

LET AFRINIC BE, and not undermine it's operations or the intelligence of
the other members who need it's services.

Re: AFRINIC placed in receivership

[Pascal Masha]

My point exactly!

And it's so shameful that we have people trying to defend them by throwing
laws,bylaws, management blah blah..spoof coof attacks on AFRINIC processes.


We are not happy with the current situation and the member should be
awareness and we also noticed how rogue that member is during the election
period.

 Fair suggestion, but I wouldn’t say it’s fair to say Lu Heng or CI

 CI didn’t sue AFRINIC for nothing. AFRINIC, in violation of the actual

 https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=lu+heng+cloud+innovation

 The short version of this is that a HK based corporate entity claims it
 is the legitimate "owner" of 7 million AFRINIC IPs.


 AFRINIC legitimately issued those (closer to 6M) IP addresses to Cloud
 Innovation based on justifications submitted. AFRINIC then attempted, using
 claims that usage out of region is not permitted by the bylaws
 (It is not prohibited by the bylaws, feel free to read them yourself),
 to reclaim those addresses.

 AFRINIC whois and the courts have confirmed that Cloud Innovation is
 the rightful registrant of those
 addresses at the time and as of now. Until a court rules otherwise
 (which is very unlikely at this point),
 they don’t “own” the addresses, but they do “own” the rights to those
 registrations in the AFRINIC
 database.

 (Nobody “owns” any integers… Everyone remains equally free to use the
 number 5 as much as they want.)

Best TAC Services from Equipment Vendors

[Pascal Masha]

Thought about it but so far I believe companies from China provide better
and fast TAC responses to their customers than the likes of Cisco and
perhaps that’s why some companies(where there are no restrictions)prefer
them for critical services.

For a short period in TAC call you can have over 10 R&D engineers and
solutions provided in a matter of hours even if it involves software
changes.. while these other companies even before you get in a call with a
TAC engineer it’s hours and when they join you hear something like “my
shift ended 15 minutes ago, hold let me look for another engineer”. WHY?

Re: Best TAC Services from Equipment Vendors

With all honesty, if you ask me, my experience with most companies from
China-in relation to Support- has always been fast and super satisfactory
no matter the raised case or sensitivity of the impact to users. I have
always felt comfortable running their gear and gives some sort of
confidence in not having prolonged outages no matter the reasons( engineer
inexperienced, not knowledgeable)

The only issue,that I have experienced, with Nokia TAC is throwing stuff

Re: Open source Netflow analysis for monitoring AS-to-AS traffic

[Pascal Masha]

Interested in responses to this as well. Perhaps something informative that
I can also adopt for zero $$ would be amazing. In case you do get pointers
off-list kindly share- we can walk the journey together and compare notes :)

Hello,

Which free and good ticketing systems do you folks(for those who do) use?

Re: Switch/Router

[Pascal Masha]

Hi,

Perhaps you could also checkout the HP A5800-24G-SFP, it's an SFP type
switch pretty good, the only downside,  however, is that it has a
weird limitation on the number of received BGP routes - but with some
tweaking you can hack it. They can also do a cluster setup through an
IRF port, has a expansion slot for an extra 6x10gig module.

This link 
https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-a5800-48g-switch-switch-48-ports-managed-series/specs/
shows another  related model, the only difference is that it has
electrical gig ports.


Regards,

Paschal Masha.
