-UBNT had some of the new Unifi 3 on display. Very heavy duty feeling unit. The new Nanobridge was on display. I am impressed with the design. Much easier to replace the things which go bad. The ethernet port no longer has the grommet.

-The lunch Keynote included the CEO of ARIN John Curran. Very good talk. Great amount of humor mixed with useful information.

In order for AirMax to classify and differentiate types of traffic when applying QoS rules, the traffic must have a special value set in the IP Header DSCP field. The originating software or hardware device is responsible for applying this value, and only if this field is set will traffic be prioritized.

There are four traffic categories: Best Effort, Background, Video, and Voice, which range from priorities lowest to highest in that order.

By default, all traffic is classified as “Best Effort”, meaning there is no prioritization applied. The other categories can be defined with the following values:

Features include:
-Unlimited e-mail addresses
-Spam,Virus, and malware filtering
-over 7 million filter rues
-Custom filter rules available
-Control panel for management
-e-mail archiving
-multiple fail-over support
-whitelisting

Many more features. Let MTIN set this up for you for a low price of $125 plus 1st months’s service. Contact us for more details

This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv4
address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and
the .ARPA TLD. The change is to D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is
administered by the University of Maryland.

The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13

The current IPv6 address for this authority is 2001:500:2d::d and it
will continue to remain unchanged.

This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 3
January 2013, however the new address is currently operational. It
will replace the previous IP address of 128.8.10.90 (also once known
as TERP.UMD.EDU).

We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references
to the old IP address, and replace it with the new address. In
particular, many DNS resolvers have a DNS root “hints” file. This
should be updated with the new IP address.

New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the
change has been formally executed:

http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root

http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache

The old address will continue to work for at least six months after
the transition, but will ultimately be retired from service.

-Use /48 for customer allocations. Give each customer a /48 unless they can show greater justification.
-Use /64 or /126 or /127 for P2P links
-Use /128 for loopbacks. Assign the same loopbacks out of the same /64. You won’t run out of looback addresses.
