Uplinks (24Mb/5Mb currently via Comcast)

  • $66.95 per month (After taxes COD at time of install is $169.21) - $3 modem rental per month
  • No contract!
  • Link speed is ~24Mbit down / ~5Mbit up. More testing during different times of the day would be useful.
  • Wonderful quote from the service representative when asked about network filtering: "The network is filtered. Dynamic ips. Constantly flowing. Upgrading to static is possible through the business department."

In the future, we can upgrade the DSL to the following:

 Super fast 10Mb and 1Mb up. 179.95 per month. Hardware and install waved.

• Local wifi link (TBD - no current ETA on install)

We need an antenna and a wifi access point that will uplink to our core switch (we need one of those too)

• Metro fiber

Can someone research this? IP Networks is probably the company to call.

• Sonic.net ADSL2

We're on the waiting list for 18Mb/1Mb ADSL2
 Sometime in the next year service will be available in San Francisco.

• WiMax

Currently this hasn't been very seriously researched 

• SFLan

We may have line of sight to a node if we can bounce off of a local building. This hasn't been seriously researched. We may want to try to get roof access for antennas and should talk to our very quiet neighbors.

Hardware

• Currently jof has configured a Soekris net4801 with pfSense (FreeBSD firewall distro) running NAT to several ports and a WRT54g
  • Passwords to both devices are in an envelope in the closet in the fishbowl. Or if you are known within the group, ping jof

Topology

Very basic, current topology

• External IP is assigned via DHCP from Comcast on the Soekris box.
  • Currently 24.5.81.50 -- jof 22:01, 2 October 2008 (PDT)
  • If modifying later, beware that Comcast will now only hand out a DHCP lease requested from 00:0A:E4:32:44:6E

• Internal subnet is 172.30.0.0/23
  • Soekris box is at 172.30.0.1
  • AP is at 172.30.0.2
