It is possible to view live terrestrial television channels, but it is more practical to us it to see programs that have already been transmitted, so avoiding the need to set your video recorder. To get Broadband T V you need a broadband connection and a computer or special set-top box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Broadband Television is being hailed as the biggest change in the way we watch television since it was first invented. Over the coming years broadband television is expected to completely change home entertainment, it will allow viewers a vast choice from all over the world not just the programs they watch but how they watch them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Broadband television has only become practical because of the huge growth of high-speed Internet connections. More than 50% of all connections to the Web now make use of broadband. Today's standard bandwidth of 2 MB would give an adequate service, but television industry experts say 8 to 10 MB is the minimum needed for a full broadband TV service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are two main types of service that are being developed, standard television channels that will replace the traditional services we have today, and video on demand, where views can choose programs from the service providers archives. Perhaps this will cut down on the level of repeats that are shown at present.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apart from the need for greater bandwidth, the greatest stumbling block for broadband TV is thought to be the big film companies, the big studios seem to be reluctant to provide films and shows because they have concerns that it may affect revenues from DVD and foreign sales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The major benefits of Broadband TV will be a much greater choice of programs, the possibility of more interactive services, potentially viewers will be able to direct their own programs choosing the camera angles etc that they want, and it will also enable people to make and transmit their own programs so opening up the possibility of local community television.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more tips and information about all aspects of Broadband please visit &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.broadbandcenter.info"&gt;http://www.broadbandcenter.info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/register_online%20home%20or%20business.htm&gt;Register Online%20home%20or%20business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Self%20Installation%20Guide.htm&gt;Streamyx Installation Guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Self%20Installation%20Guide.htm&gt;Self%20installation%20guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Self%20Installation%20Guide.htm&gt;Self%20installation%20guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/register_online%20home%20or%20business.htm&gt;Register Online%20home%20or%20business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/#Top_Home&gt;#top Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/register_online%20home%20or%20business.htm&gt;Register Online%20home%20or%20business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/index.htm&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/#Top_Home&gt;#top Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/register_online%20home%20or%20business.htm&gt;Register Online%20home%20or%20business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/register_online%20home%20or%20business.htm&gt;Register Online%20home%20or%20business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/register_online%20home%20or%20business.htm&gt;Register Online%20home%20or%20business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Packages_home_basic_or_business_broadband.htm&gt;Packages Home Basic Or Business Broadband&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/#Top_Home&gt;#top Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Speed%20test.htm&gt;Speed%20test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-2023920568804481230?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/2023920568804481230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=2023920568804481230' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/2023920568804481230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/2023920568804481230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/06/broadband-tv-world-of-choice.html' title='Broadband TV a World of Choice'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-2137335197293438827</id><published>2008-06-09T04:03:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-09T04:03:10.611-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Broadband -

Instead of external wheels (like a bona fide etch-a-sketch) you could use a single ball and control your cursor to travel in any direction. Soon, the trackball mouse came to pass allowing you to simply move your hand in any direction, including ergonomically placed buttons. These inventions were invented as tools to allow you to indirectly interface humans with a visual representation of 1s and 0s. So would the logical progression move to a more direct way of allowing humans to interface with computers sans the intermediary device?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would seem that more and more major manufacturers are moving more and more to direct interfacing. Some popular examples of a movement towards touchscreens are the Apple iPhone, Nintendo DS, the Fujitsu Tablet PC, and the Toughbook series by Panasonic. But why are the vast majority of us still using a mouse while the most significant patents and advancements of touchscreen technology were filed during the 70s and 80s, the same time the mouse came to being?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One obvious reason is the cost. Touchscreens are generally around double the cost of conventional monitors. But I'd submit that the main problem is simply with the ergonomics. There is a tremendous strain on human fingers and arms when required to select several different spots on a touchscreen. The hard surface of the screens also cause minor stress on the soft finger tips of humans. Use of a stylus or "pen" can be helpful, but problematic in public settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Touchscreens will still always have its own place in a world that is always striving for convenience and coherence. They will continue to be popular for functions that require only a minute of use to perform a task, such as automatic check-in kiosks at airports, Bank ATMs, and point-of-sale kiosks for retail. They will also always find their place in industrial settings where it is not convenient to have a mouse and keyboard at hand.

VoIP is often used theoretically to refer to the actual transmission of voice (rather than the protocol implementing it). VoIP is also known as IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Voice over Broadband and Broadband Phone. Voice over IP protocols carry telephonic signals as digital audio, typically reduced in data rate using speech data compression techniques, encapsulated in a data packet stream over IP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Companies providing VoIP service are commonly referred to as providers, and protocol which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. They may be viewed as commercial realizations of the experimental Network Voice Protocol (1973) invented for the ARPANET providers. Some cost savings are due to utilizing a single network to cart voice and data, especially where users have existing underutilized network capacity that can carry VoIP at no additional cost. VoIP to VoIP phone calls are sometimes free, while VoIP to public switched telephone networks, PSTN, may have a cost that is borne by the VoIP user.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Basically there are two types of PSTN to VoIP services: Direct Inward Dialing (DID) and access numbers. DID will connect the caller directly to the VoIP user while access numbers require the caller to input the extension number of the VoIP user.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As UDP (user datagram protocol) does not provide a mechanism to ensure that data packets are delivered in sequential order, or provide Quality of Service (known as QoS) guarantees, VoIP implementations face problems dealing with latency and jitter. This is true when satellite circuits are involved, due to long round trip broadcast delay (400 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds for geostationary satellite). The receiving node must restructure IP packets that may be out of order, delayed or missing, while ensuring that the audio stream maintains a proper time consistency. This functionality is usually accomplished by means of a jitter buffer in the voice engine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Landline phones are connected directly to telephone company phone lines, which in the event of a power failure are kept functioning by back-up generators or batteries located at the telephone exchange. However, household VoIP hardware uses broadband modems and other equipment powered by household electricity, which may be subject to outages in the absence of an uninterruptible power supply or generator. Early adopters of VoIP may also be users of other phone equipment, such as PBX and cordless phone bases, which rely on power not provided by the telephone company. Even with local power still available, the broadband carrier itself may experience outages as well. While the PSTN has been matured over decades and is typically reliable, most broadband networks are less than 10 years old, and even the best are still subject to intermittent outages. Furthermore, consumer network technologies such as cable and DSL often are not subject to the same restoration service levels as the PSTN or business technologies such as T-1 connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More information on VOIP technologies can be found at http://voipable.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike Smits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://Voipable.com"&gt;http://Voipable.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;VOIP Info for all your needs!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/faq.htm&gt;Streamyx FAQ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Self%20Installation%20Guide.htm&gt;Self%20installation%20guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/Speed%20test.htm&gt;Streamyx Speedtest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/agent_registration.htm&gt;Agent Registration&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/contact_us.htm&gt;Contact Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/terms_and_conditions.htm&gt;Terms And Conditions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/privacy_policy.htm&gt;Privacy Policy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/disclaimer.htm&gt;Disclaimer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_kl.htm&gt;Streamyx Kuala Lumpur&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_petaling_jaya.htm&gt;Streamyx Petaling Jaya&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_puchong.htm&gt;Streamyx Puchong&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_selayang.htm&gt;Streamyx Selayang&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_ampang.htm&gt;Streamyx Ampang&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_cheras.htm&gt;Streamyx Cheras&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/service_areas_gombak.htm&gt;Streamyx Gombak&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-8384696519773166729?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/8384696519773166729/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=8384696519773166729' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/8384696519773166729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/8384696519773166729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/06/overview-and-explanation-of-voip_06.html' title='Overview and Explanation of the VOIP Technology'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-8335334405963512156</id><published>2008-06-06T02:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-06T02:53:42.991-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Overview and Explanation of the VOIP Technology</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a protocol optimized for the communication of voice through the Internet or other packet switched networks.

Now, we see laptops being transported cable free while their users Google the latest sports scores or work on projects in coffee shops, parks, and their homes. Thanks to this the world is at our finger tips almost anywhere. If your considering getting wireless internet here are some commonly asked questions that make help you decide whether it's for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is wireless internet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless internet is just what it sounds like. Internet without wires. The advances in communication have made it possible to bring internet to your computer without the cables, boxes, and wires that used to go along with it. Through a system of signals, terminals and transmitters/antennas your computer's modem will pick up a signal connecting you to a wireless internet network. The system is much like that used in other wireless forms of communication like cell phones.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why should I equip my computer for wireless internet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being an active part of society often requires you to travel near and far with little lag time in between. Society as a whole is so dependent on communication that it seems impossible to go more than a few hours without emailing or using the internet. Unfortunately, there isn't always a computer that is wired and ready to access the internet. The daily commute can be a boring expanse of time where no work gets done. However, the accessibility of wireless internet allows those who ride buses, trains or subways to work while traveling. Essentially, this makes wireless computing a major benefit if not necessity to the working man or woman who is constantly on the go.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is it expensive?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless is generally a lot more affordable than service that depends on a phone or cable line. You will be able to get a plan specifically for your lap top where as before you may have had to change your phone service or switch from satellite to cable to cash in on the still expensive bundle package. If price is your concern this is quite possibly your best option although ultimately it depends on the carriers in your area. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;How reliable is wireless internet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless communications have come a long way and wireless internet is relatively reliable and shouldn't cause you any major losses of service. However, much like other forms of wireless there will are a few things that may interrupt your service. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Out of Range:&lt;/b&gt; While this is definitely becoming a honed communication tool it's not flawless. Much like a cell phone, there are areas where you will not get a signal which will limit or terminate your service. This makes it hard to use the wireless internet at or in tunnels, under ground, remote locations, or inside some buildings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Interference:&lt;/b&gt; Wireless internet can be excellent when it works, and it usually does, but there are various things besides range that can limit your internet access. Too many users can slow service or leave you unable to get service at all. You may also have a problem securing service if trees or other objects obscure the line of vision.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is wireless internet secure?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Security presents a major issue for some individuals.

Now, we see laptops being transported cable free while their users Google the latest sports scores or work on projects in coffee shops, parks, and their homes. Thanks to this the world is at our finger tips almost anywhere. If your considering getting wireless internet here are some commonly asked questions that make help you decide whether it's for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is wireless internet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless internet is just what it sounds like. Internet without wires. The advances in communication have made it possible to bring internet to your computer without the cables, boxes, and wires that used to go along with it. Through a system of signals, terminals and transmitters/antennas your computer's modem will pick up a signal connecting you to a wireless internet network. The system is much like that used in other wireless forms of communication like cell phones.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why should I equip my computer for wireless internet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being an active part of society often requires you to travel near and far with little lag time in between. Society as a whole is so dependent on communication that it seems impossible to go more than a few hours without emailing or using the internet. Unfortunately, there isn't always a computer that is wired and ready to access the internet. The daily commute can be a boring expanse of time where no work gets done. However, the accessibility of wireless internet allows those who ride buses, trains or subways to work while traveling. Essentially, this makes wireless computing a major benefit if not necessity to the working man or woman who is constantly on the go.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is it expensive?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless is generally a lot more affordable than service that depends on a phone or cable line. You will be able to get a plan specifically for your lap top where as before you may have had to change your phone service or switch from satellite to cable to cash in on the still expensive bundle package. If price is your concern this is quite possibly your best option although ultimately it depends on the carriers in your area. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;How reliable is wireless internet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless communications have come a long way and wireless internet is relatively reliable and shouldn't cause you any major losses of service. However, much like other forms of wireless there will are a few things that may interrupt your service. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Out of Range:&lt;/b&gt; While this is definitely becoming a honed communication tool it's not flawless. Much like a cell phone, there are areas where you will not get a signal which will limit or terminate your service. This makes it hard to use the wireless internet at or in tunnels, under ground, remote locations, or inside some buildings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Interference:&lt;/b&gt; Wireless internet can be excellent when it works, and it usually does, but there are various things besides range that can limit your internet access. Too many users can slow service or leave you unable to get service at all. You may also have a problem securing service if trees or other objects obscure the line of vision.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is wireless internet secure?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Security presents a major issue for some individuals. While there some concern does exist, networks are becoming more secure as time goes on. There are however programs you can use and actions you can take to help create a more secure network. By taking simple precautions like enabling encryption you decrease the likely hood of a security breech.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For great accessories for your laptop or other wireless forms of communications like cell phones and &lt;a TARGET="_new" href="http://www.sfplanet.com/category/pda"&gt;discount PDA's&lt;/a&gt; shop at SFPlanet.

While this article will focus on general steps involved in proper connection forwarding to CCTV DVR, the part two is all about dynamic DNS support and workarounds. Before we step into the main subject, I like to explain very briefly a few key aspects of Internet connection for those of us not familiar with term like IP address, DDNS, port forwarding or IP mapping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terminology:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every computer or other network device, in our case CCTV recorder has its own address called IP address, much like your home address it allows the information to find its way in enormous world of internet. IP address has four groups of numbers separated by dots; the number range is between 0 and 255. There are two separate networks that we need to take into consideration, LAN for Local Area Network and WAN for Wide Area Network. LAN has its own IP addresses and handles connection on local network devices (computers or devices located in your home or office network), if WAN IP is your home address than LAN IP would be your apartment number.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WAN IP is an external address visible to every user on the Internet. We will explain rest of the terminology as we go along.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Setup:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best way to explain and clarify surveillance DVR connection setup is to use an example. In our example, we will setup DVR model VDV-074 from DVRExperts thru Netopia Router/Modem combo currently used by AT&amp;T DSL provider with static IP service, I will also use Linksys WRT54G Router for Cable DSL connection. Security DVR recorder needs to be connected to the Internet through Router and Modem, in some cases Router and Modem are all in one devices, for example Netopia Routers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For standalone Modems please connect the Internet out to WAN port, on your Router. Connect CCTV DVR and computers to available ports on the Router as well. Your Router will need to be setup now to log in to the Internet service provider and establish connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Netopia Router users:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open up browser on your computer and type into the address bar your routers default IP http://192.168.1.254. User name and password window should appear; the default user name and password for Netopia Routers are admin for user and serial number of your Router for the password.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select Configure followed by Quick start link, type your Internet service providers user name (email address) and your ISP password. Click submit and alert icon located in upper right corner (I know it is strange), finally select save and restart. Your connection should be up in minute or so, click home link to see your connection status.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linksys Router users:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open up browser on your computer and type into the address bar your routers default IP http://192.168.1.1. User name and password window should appear; the default user name and password for Linksys routers are admin for user and admin for the password.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The home page of the router has ISP settings, type in your email address as a user name and ISP password for the password, select save or submit. The Router will restart after minute or so, log in again and go to status page to see if your connection status is UP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If everything is ok and your connection is UP, we can now proceed to fun part of the setup process&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is great number of different security Digital Video Recorders on the market, so please follow your DVR's manual for details; I will only provide the proper settings. In the DVR menu, setup static LAN (Internal) IP for the DVR, in our example we have 3 computers and DVR. Each device has assigned LAN IP address as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer 1 - 192.168.1.100&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer 2 - 192.168.1.101&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer 3 - 192.168.1.102&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DVR - 192.168.1.103&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The surveillance DVR will now be accessible within our network by typing its assigned internal IP (192.168.1.103) into browser or connection software. What we need now is to forward the connection from external IP (WAN) which is accessible from outside of our network to the LAN IP of the DVR (192.168.1.103).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Netopia Router users:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select Configure followed by Advanced and finally IP Maps. IP map table should be empty, click on add and type into &lt;em&gt;IP Map Entry Name&lt;/em&gt; text box the name of your DVR connection, in our example I just typed in DVR so I know what this IP map is for. In &lt;em&gt;Internal IP address&lt;/em&gt; box type in 192.168.1.103, for &lt;em&gt;external IP address&lt;/em&gt; refer to you ISP work sheet and find out what is your IP. In some cases ISP will provide more than one static IP, you can choose one of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click submit and alert icon located in upper right corner, finally select save and restart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From now on anyone requesting external IP will be forwarded to the internal IP of the DVR (192.168.1.103), therefore the connection should be established successfully.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linksys Router users:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When setting up your DVR for access from the Internet, you will need to configure Port Forwarding on your Linksys Router. This can be accomplished in one of two ways, Specific Port Forwarding or the DMZ host. The DMZ host automatically forwards all incoming connection requests to a given IP address on your local network. Open the Applications &amp; Gaming section of the router and choose DMZ. DMZ is not secure and should only be used with embedded, non-PC based CCTV recorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To expose the DVR to the Internet, enter the DVR local IP address (192.168.1.103) in the &lt;em&gt;DMZ Host IP&lt;/em&gt; address box. In some cases you may just want to forward specific ports to your security DVR. If you are running any other device/server that hosts services available to the internet, you will want to use specific port forwarding instead of the DMZ Host, also if your DVR is PC based it is strongly recommended for security reasons, to only forward ports used by DVR connection. Open the applications &amp; Gaming section of the router and choose Port Range Forwarding. Type in the name for the connection, starting port number, ending port number and internal IP of the DVR (192.168.1.103 in our example). Save and exit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your connection is now setup properly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You probably noticed the term static IP in this article, and are wondering what that is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, static IP is what the name suggests an IP that never changes. While there is no problem with internal IP selection; we can use whatever we want or prefer - the external IP, usually is dynamic. The static IP has to be requested from the ISP and is more expensive than dynamic IP. In our case we do want static IP so we have address for CCTV DVR connection that will never change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout this tutorial I have assumed that the external static IP is available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately in many areas it is not, or the cost is prohibitive. Don't panic yet, there is at least couple of different ways around this problem and I will try to go over each approach in my next article "How to use free dynamic DNS services for DVR connection."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert Moskal is Technical Department Manager at V2Comp,Inc, a major distributor of security equipment located in Chicago area.

type='text'>Setup Internet Connection To Digital Video Recorder Behind Router</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;This is first article from two part series looking at the seemingly easy task of setting up Internet connection to security DVR. While this article will focus on general steps involved in proper connection forwarding to CCTV DVR, the part two is all about dynamic DNS support and workarounds. Before we step into the main subject, I like to explain very briefly a few key aspects of Internet connection for those of us not familiar with term like IP address, DDNS, port forwarding or IP mapping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terminology:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every computer or other network device, in our case CCTV recorder has its own address called IP address, much like your home address it allows the information to find its way in enormous world of internet. IP address has four groups of numbers separated by dots; the number range is between 0 and 255. There are two separate networks that we need to take into consideration, LAN for Local Area Network and WAN for Wide Area Network. LAN has its own IP addresses and handles connection on local network devices (computers or devices located in your home or office network), if WAN IP is your home address than LAN IP would be your apartment number.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WAN IP is an external address visible to every user on the Internet. We will explain rest of the terminology as we go along.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Setup:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best way to explain and clarify surveillance DVR connection setup is to use an example. In our example, we will setup DVR model VDV-074 from DVRExperts thru Netopia Router/Modem combo currently used by AT&amp;T DSL provider with static IP service, I will also use Linksys WRT54G Router for Cable DSL connection. Security DVR recorder needs to be connected to the Internet through Router and Modem, in some cases Router and Modem are all in one devices, for example Netopia Routers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For standalone Modems please connect the Internet out to WAN port, on your Router. Connect CCTV DVR and computers to available ports on the Router as well. Your Router will need to be setup now to log in to the Internet service provider and establish connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Netopia Router users:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open up browser on your computer and type into the address bar your routers default IP http://192.168.1.254. User name and password window should appear; the default user name and password for Netopia Routers are admin for user and serial number of your Router for the password.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select Configure followed by Quick start link, type your Internet service providers user name (email address) and your ISP password. Click submit and alert icon located in upper right corner (I know it is strange), finally select save and restart. Your connection should be up in minute or so, click home link to see your connection status.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linksys Router users:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open up browser on your computer and type into the address bar your routers default IP http://192.168.1.1. User name and password window should appear; the default user name and password for Linksys routers are admin for user and admin for the password.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The home page of the router has ISP settings, type in your email address as a user name and ISP password for the password, select save or submit. The Router will restart after minute or so, log in again and go to status page to see if your connection status is UP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If everything is ok and your connection is UP, we can now proceed to fun part of the setup process&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is great number of different security Digital Video Recorders on the market, so please follow your DVR's manual for details; I will only provide the proper settings. In the DVR menu, setup static LAN (Internal) IP for the DVR, in our example we have 3 computers and DVR. Each device has assigned LAN IP address as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer 1 - 192.168.1.100&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer 2 - 192.168.1.101&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer 3 - 192.168.1.102&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DVR - 192.168.1.103&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The surveillance DVR will now be accessible within our network by typing its assigned internal IP (192.168.1.103) into browser or connection software. What we need now is to forward the connection from external IP (WAN) which is accessible from outside of our network to the LAN IP of the DVR (192.168.1.103).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Netopia Router users:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select Configure followed by Advanced and finally IP Maps. IP map table should be empty, click on add and type into &lt;em&gt;IP Map Entry Name&lt;/em&gt; text box the name of your DVR connection, in our example I just typed in DVR so I know what this IP map is for. In &lt;em&gt;Internal IP address&lt;/em&gt; box type in 192.168.1.103, for &lt;em&gt;external IP address&lt;/em&gt; refer to you ISP work sheet and find out what is your IP. In some cases ISP will provide more than one static IP, you can choose one of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click submit and alert icon located in upper right corner, finally select save and restart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From now on anyone requesting external IP will be forwarded to the internal IP of the DVR (192.168.1.103), therefore the connection should be established successfully.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linksys Router users:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When setting up your DVR for access from the Internet, you will need to configure Port Forwarding on your Linksys Router. This can be accomplished in one of two ways, Specific Port Forwarding or the DMZ host. The DMZ host automatically forwards all incoming connection requests to a given IP address on your local network. Open the Applications &amp; Gaming section of the router and choose DMZ. DMZ is not secure and should only be used with embedded, non-PC based CCTV recorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To expose the DVR to the Internet, enter the DVR local IP address (192.168.1.103) in the &lt;em&gt;DMZ Host IP&lt;/em&gt; address box. In some cases you may just want to forward specific ports to your security DVR. If you are running any other device/server that hosts services available to the internet, you will want to use specific port forwarding instead of the DMZ Host, also if your DVR is PC based it is strongly recommended for security reasons, to only forward ports used by DVR connection. Open the applications &amp; Gaming section of the router and choose Port Range Forwarding. Type in the name for the connection, starting port number, ending port number and internal IP of the DVR (192.168.1.103 in our example). Save and exit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your connection is now setup properly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You probably noticed the term static IP in this article, and are wondering what that is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, static IP is what the name suggests an IP that never changes. While there is no problem with internal IP selection; we can use whatever we want or prefer - the external IP, usually is dynamic. The static IP has to be requested from the ISP and is more expensive than dynamic IP. In our case we do want static IP so we have address for CCTV DVR connection that will never change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout this tutorial I have assumed that the external static IP is available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately in many areas it is not, or the cost is prohibitive. Don't panic yet, there is at least couple of different ways around this problem and I will try to go over each approach in my next article "How to use free dynamic DNS services for DVR connection."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert Moskal is Technical Department Manager at V2Comp,Inc, a major distributor of security equipment located in Chicago area.

The report also uncovered some other disappointing figures, with regards to rural access to ATM's, banks and Post Offices. As around a fifth of the UK's population live outside of towns an cities, its surprising that less than 10% of the UK's ATM's can be found in such location's.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the report, many rural residences have to travel just over a mile before they will reach a Post office, and around 2.5 miles for an ATM, bank or building society!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though broadband speeds are fairly disappointing for people "out in the sticks", it's not a matter that isn't being addressed. The findings of the report have urged the private sector to better cooperate and understand the needs of the rural residence. One example of this is plans put forward by the British Bankers' Association to make available more ATM's and so-called 'mobile banks' in rural areas over the coming years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's worth noting though, that currently 15.7 million Britons are making use of their banks online services. Therefore, even if your broadband connection is poor, there should be no reason you too can't benefit from such services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liam is a UK author, currently focusing on &lt;a TARGET="_new" href="http://www.moneysupermarket.com/broadband/"&gt;broadband&lt;/a&gt;.

We connect, communicate, shop, work and entertain with the help of the internet. We need connectivity every hour of the day to carry out our official work, chat with our friends, and shop online. No one can imagine handling business without the internet; no corporate house can exist in this high tech world without the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is our prime source of every kind of information in he easiest way. With blogging, online communities, online shopping everything seems to be overtaken by the world of web. From personal to professional internet serves every need of ours. With so much influence of the internet in our lives we need to stay connected all the time. Internet has become an essential part of our lives and we need to be online 24 hours a day, seven days of the week for uninterrupted work. Due to such extensive use of it we need connections which are reliable and fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Broadband internet plans are the smart alternative to the conventional dial up access in which the data transfer is not very fast. The broadband is a reliable and dedicated high speed internet connection which offers higher data transmission rate. It gives us ease to download large files like videos, photographs and other bulky data with a faster speed. The broadband connection is definitely more efficient; however, we need to select the correct plan as a lot of service providers offer broadband services. The plans come with a variety of offers like free surfing hours, low rates, free downloads etc. The plans can be selected as per one's convenience and requirements. A variety of internet service provider companies are present which facilitate fast speed internet.

While bandwidth can boil down to upload and download limits from an ISP, the overall question is really one of network speed - how fast is the network connection to the Internet? Network speed is greatly influenced by the routing methods used to direct network traffic; the better the traffic routing, the better the network connection's speed and reliability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Routing Traffic: BGP&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Internet is made up of millions of individual servers, which are all interconnected, like houses on main streets and bystreets. Some central networks, called backbones, have connections to millions of servers, which makes it easier to send traffic along those routes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If an ISP is connected to a single Internet backbone, then they only have one route to use to send traffic. However, this means if that backbone goes down, the network connection goes down. For redundancy, most ISPs have connections to at least two backbones, and traffic is routed between those backbones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When there are multiple backbones to choose from, there has to be some way to identify the most efficient route. The most common routing logic is border gateway protocol (BGP) which counts the number of networks (autonomous system, or AS, hops) that each route has between the starting server and the destination server.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, one person wants to send an email from their home account with SBC Global to their friend at MSN. SBC is on one network, and MSN is on another. Route A reports six AS hops between SBC and MSN, and Route B has three AS hops between them. With BGP routing, the traffic is sent on Route B.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Performance-Based Routing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big limitation of BGP is that it only gauges AS hops rather than other more important factors, like latency. Route B from the last example has only three AS hops, meaning traffic only has to cross three networks to reach its destination. However, BGP routing only counts AS hops - it cannot account for the number of individual routers in an autonomous system. Route B may only cross three networks, but if Network 1 has five routers, Network 2 has four routers, and Network 3 has eight routers, the traffic has to go through 17 routers before it can reach its destination. If Route A crosses six networks but each network only has a single router, the traffic only has to pass through six routers. That means that Route A may be significantly faster than Route B, but BGP routing has no way to recognize that, so it sends traffic down the slower route.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Performance-based routing offsets the limits of BGP, and takes a more intelligent approach to traffic routing, by looking at other factors than AS hops:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;?Performance metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss&lt;br&gt; ?Current network load&lt;br&gt; ?Connection type, such as T1 or OC3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Latency can be either the time to send a packet one-way or the round-trip time, like the time to send ICMP packets (ping) to one server and receive the response. Jitter is the fluctuation in latency times. For example, if the first trip time is 3ms and the next is 105ms and the next is 20ms, there is a large swing between trip times, and, therefore, there is high jitter on the connection.

While bandwidth can boil down to upload and download limits from an ISP, the overall question is really one of network speed - how fast is the network connection to the Internet? Network speed is greatly influenced by the routing methods used to direct network traffic; the better the traffic routing, the better the network connection's speed and reliability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Routing Traffic: BGP&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Internet is made up of millions of individual servers, which are all interconnected, like houses on main streets and bystreets. Some central networks, called backbones, have connections to millions of servers, which makes it easier to send traffic along those routes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If an ISP is connected to a single Internet backbone, then they only have one route to use to send traffic. However, this means if that backbone goes down, the network connection goes down. For redundancy, most ISPs have connections to at least two backbones, and traffic is routed between those backbones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When there are multiple backbones to choose from, there has to be some way to identify the most efficient route. The most common routing logic is border gateway protocol (BGP) which counts the number of networks (autonomous system, or AS, hops) that each route has between the starting server and the destination server.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, one person wants to send an email from their home account with SBC Global to their friend at MSN. SBC is on one network, and MSN is on another. Route A reports six AS hops between SBC and MSN, and Route B has three AS hops between them. With BGP routing, the traffic is sent on Route B.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Performance-Based Routing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big limitation of BGP is that it only gauges AS hops rather than other more important factors, like latency. Route B from the last example has only three AS hops, meaning traffic only has to cross three networks to reach its destination. However, BGP routing only counts AS hops - it cannot account for the number of individual routers in an autonomous system. Route B may only cross three networks, but if Network 1 has five routers, Network 2 has four routers, and Network 3 has eight routers, the traffic has to go through 17 routers before it can reach its destination. If Route A crosses six networks but each network only has a single router, the traffic only has to pass through six routers. That means that Route A may be significantly faster than Route B, but BGP routing has no way to recognize that, so it sends traffic down the slower route.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Performance-based routing offsets the limits of BGP, and takes a more intelligent approach to traffic routing, by looking at other factors than AS hops:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;?Performance metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss&lt;br&gt; ?Current network load&lt;br&gt; ?Connection type, such as T1 or OC3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Latency can be either the time to send a packet one-way or the round-trip time, like the time to send ICMP packets (ping) to one server and receive the response. Jitter is the fluctuation in latency times. For example, if the first trip time is 3ms and the next is 105ms and the next is 20ms, there is a large swing between trip times, and, therefore, there is high jitter on the connection. Packet loss is the number of packets (information) which never reach their destination. The current load is how much traffic is currently on that connection, and the connection type indicates how much traffic the network can handle effectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By looking at the actual quality of the network connection, performance-based routing can select much faster, more reliable routes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Better Routing Really Means&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Poor routing can corrupt or interrupt packets, requiring information to be resent and increasing the overall time it takes to do anything on the network.

So just what is OCx, what can it do for you, and what do you need to know?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is an OCx Circuit?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'OC' stands for Optical Carrier and is used to specify the speed of fiber optic networks conforming to the SONET standard. SONET, (Synchronous Optical Networks), includes a set of signal rate multiples for transmitting digital signals on optical fiber. The base rate (OC-1) is 51.84 Mbps. Certain multiples of the base rate are provided below with bandwidth amounts. Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) makes use of some of the Optical Carrier levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Optical Carrier lines provide content providers, ASP's, ISP's &amp; large enterprises with dedicated Internet connectivity. These Optical Carrier Level circuits are an ideal solution for high end bandwidth users where connectivity is essential for operations. Some examples are large data centers, high tech research facilities, university infrastructure, airport complexes, and casino video security and data systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is an OC3?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An OC3 can be three DS3s (T3s) or one 155M pipe. The benefit in using DS3s is that each can be separated back out as individual T1s (each with 24 channels). To put it into perspective, the speed of an OC3 connection is 155Mbps. This is equivalent to 3 T3 lines or 100 T1 lines. An OC12 connection is 622Mbps, equivalent to 14 T3 lines or approx. 414 T1 lines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is an OC12?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An OC12 is approximately equal to 4 OC3s and runs at 622 Mbps. which makes it an excellent point-to-point IP delivery connection. The greatest benefit to an OC-12 is that bandwidth can be added to a business as it grows without any major system overhauls. An OC12 can also allow a business to have unlimited IP addresses which insures that growth is never limited...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is an OC48?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An OC48 works as a reliable fiber optic backbone for large networks which require volume extensive voice/data/video traffic. It is a long-haul backbone fibre connection capable of transmitting data at 2.45 Gbps. To put it into perspective the speed of an OC48 is the equivalent of having 48 T3's OR 1,344 T1 lines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pricing for these type of connections can vary widely depending on the carrier, location of service and the exact application for which the connection is intended to be used. Due to this complexity it is suggested to use the services of a consultant such as "&lt;a TARGET="_new" href="http://DS3-Bandwidth.com/coverage.php"&gt;DS3-Bandwidth.com&lt;/a&gt;" to research available providers and find the best fit to meet a specific requirement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael is the owner of FreedomFire Communications....including &lt;a target="_new" href="http://Business-VoIP-Solution.com/coverage.php"&gt;Business-VoIP-Solution.com&lt;/a&gt;.

This may not be as simple as it sounds.....thus the frustration faced by many responsible for a company network infrastructure solution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, I recommend reading "MPLS Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies". A simple Google search will find the best source to obtain a copy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For additional resources check out one of these books:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume I &amp; Volume II &lt;br&gt; by Jim Guichard; Ivan Pepelnjak; Jeff Apcar &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Definitive MPLS Network Designs &lt;br&gt; by Jim Guichard; Franois Le Faucheur; Jean-Philippe Vasseur &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traffic Engineering with MPLS &lt;br&gt; by Eric CCIE #4122 Osborne; Ajay CCIE #2970 Simha &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Internet Routing Architectures, Second Edition &lt;br&gt; by Sam Halabi; Danny McPherson &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, MPLS is often thought of when considering replacing an existing frame relay network. MPLS is best at supporting the QoS needed for supporting integrated VoIP and data. Plus, MPLS is significantly easier for to engineer and roll out than say a new frame relay cloud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good scenario would be an enterprise WAN with multiple service delivery needs, teleconferencing, VoIP, video, and data. Each of these services has different data delivery requirements. VoD needs bandwidth but after the initial push it is not time sensitive, data is not in any reasonable sense time sensitive, VoIP and video conferencing are both extremely time sensitive applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this situation MPLS is an excellent choice as transport. Not only is it fast, not requiring deep packet inspection beyond the ingress point to prioritize traffic, it also allows for multiple levels of service which puts you in a position to future proof your network to some extent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MPLS is also refered to as tag switching. The way that it works is at the network ingress point each packet is 'tagged', or a header put on the packet, which gives it a network identifier and a service level if service levels have been implemented. When switching within the network each router needs only inspect the tag to prioritize and forward the packet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, network service providers are moving to MPLS because of its ease of implementation and the ability to transparently provision multiple customers on the same network, as opposed to frame relay which requires a separate network for each customer, and keep those customers perfectly digitally segregated. So, it's a case of faster, cheaper, better for the service provider.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;QoS for VOIP and video is the big thing. MPLS gets used a fair bit for bandwith guarantees and limits for things like Disaster Recovery (DR). A good example is when a business has two offices in different geographical areas, and wants to use a data-syncing solution (SAN replication, for example) between them for disaster recovery. But they have limited bandwidth, and don't want the DR traffic to swamp the normal or VOIP traffic. Being able to label your traffic and set guarantees (for both minimum and maximum bandwidth) is pretty powerful. This also offers guarantees for in-order packet delivery (very important for VOIP/voice).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a single-site business, I would probably not deploy MPLS unless there was a serious amount of bandwidth in use, or if the campus was significantly large enough to justify using label switching for speed / QoS considerations. Unfortunately, there's no easy answer for this scenario.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a multi-site, geographically diverse business, I would strongly consider MPLS as part of the solution, particularly if I am using a service provider such as Sprint, Level 3, BT, or any others to provide the meat of the network. This arrangement allows me to leverage the availability, redundancy, and scalability of their network to take the shortest path between sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most companies moving to MPLS were previously operating their private-line networks with either direct connections between offices, or utilizing frame-relay connections. A hub-and-spoke architecture is only efficient if all the data flows to/from the central location. However, most frame networks are meshed together, to facilitate office-to-office networking without overwhelming the hub site. It's very easy for a large number of sites to turn into complex and unwieldy collections of frame circuits and PVCs. If the company's IGP is not set up properly, traffic patterns can become stable at best, and down right chaotic at worst.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using MPLS with a provider eliminates the need to worry about any of the meshing that would have been handled by multiple private lines or frame-relay networks. Usually, routing is exchanged with a provider via BGP, or in the case of smaller networks, statically routed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An excellent application of MPLS seen in practice is that with a BGP-connected network, it is possible to set up a disaster recovery scenario at any other site connected to the network by a simple matter of moving the routing announcement for the primary location's IP block to the DR location. It's possible to do this on frame relay as well, but it can get complicated if the network is not configured properly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For application-specific items, MPLS can handle any variety of traffic classifications, which make it an ideal candidate for multi-site voice traffic to go along with your data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The downside of MPLS is that you're at the mercy of your provider if there's a configuration mistake or if their redundant network doesn't redirect around an outage properly. Additionally, routing can become complex if there is a private network on the back end connecting two or more sites that also share an MPLS connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As an overview of MPLS.......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Pros: &lt;br&gt; * Site to Site Routing &lt;br&gt; * Enhanced Carrier Aware QoS &lt;br&gt; * Reduced Deployment Complexities &lt;br&gt; * Enhancing High Availability &lt;br&gt; * Quickened Disaster Recovery Readiness &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cons: &lt;br&gt; * Initial Architectural Design Cycles &lt;br&gt; * Reduced Visibility of Transport Network &lt;br&gt; * Enhanced Security Concerns &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In summary MPLS is really just one alternative for the WAN communication backbone.

This may not be as simple as it sounds.....thus the frustration faced by many responsible for a company network infrastructure solution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, I recommend reading "MPLS Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies". A simple Google search will find the best source to obtain a copy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For additional resources check out one of these books:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MPLS and VPN Architectures, Volume I &amp; Volume II &lt;br&gt; by Jim Guichard; Ivan Pepelnjak; Jeff Apcar &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Definitive MPLS Network Designs &lt;br&gt; by Jim Guichard; Franois Le Faucheur; Jean-Philippe Vasseur &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traffic Engineering with MPLS &lt;br&gt; by Eric CCIE #4122 Osborne; Ajay CCIE #2970 Simha &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Internet Routing Architectures, Second Edition &lt;br&gt; by Sam Halabi; Danny McPherson &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, MPLS is often thought of when considering replacing an existing frame relay network. MPLS is best at supporting the QoS needed for supporting integrated VoIP and data. Plus, MPLS is significantly easier for to engineer and roll out than say a new frame relay cloud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good scenario would be an enterprise WAN with multiple service delivery needs, teleconferencing, VoIP, video, and data. Each of these services has different data delivery requirements. VoD needs bandwidth but after the initial push it is not time sensitive, data is not in any reasonable sense time sensitive, VoIP and video conferencing are both extremely time sensitive applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this situation MPLS is an excellent choice as transport.

With all of these advantages, you probably want to have a high speed Internet connection in your home if you don't have one there already. While upgrading from dial up is a good thing to do, you're probably kind of confused by the options that you have available to you. This is understandable with all of the different technologies and the companies that are offering them that you have to choose from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're fortunate enough to have access to cable TV, then you're also probably fortunate enough to be able to get an Internet connection that's delivered over that same broad band digital cable technology. Granted that if you have access to cable Internet, then you also probably have access to DSL, satellite, and possibly some kind of municipal WiFi Internet as well, but there are still a lot of reasons to consider broad band cable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first advantage that broad band cable has over other forms of broad band Internet technology is speed. With the possible exception of muni WiFi, broad band cable high speed Internet has the largest bandwidths with download speeds that vary from six to twelve megabytes per second, depending on the level of service that's been subscribed to and whether or not the special Power Boost feature (which increases the baseline download speed by fifty percent for larger downloads) has kicked in. Both satellite Internet and DSL have bandwidths that are stuck around three megabytes per second and often quite lower, depending on where you live and how much you're willing to pay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Getting your Internet connection over a cable also provides a greater level of security than any kind of WiFi. In fact, there are even people who look for WiFi connections so that they can see what's being transmitted- in effect spying on what WiFi users are looking at. Since there isn't a good way to make muni WiFi service secure, this is a very real danger. It's also theoretically possible to spy on satellite Internet signals as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Naturally, since DSL is transmitted over phone lines, it has a similar level of security to broad band digital cable Internet connection, but there are many other ways in which an Internet connection based on digital cable technology is superior. The fact that cables are a lot beefier than phone lines means that the signal that can be sent over them is a lot faster and more reliable. After all, skinny phone lines are subject to a lot more interference than coaxial cables and that interference can really slow things down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All of the extra speed and reliability and security that you can get from a broad band cable Internet connection such as Comcast's translates into a level of Internet performance that you've probably only experienced in libraries, coffee shops, or at work up to this point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Internet is an increasingly vital part of everyday life and this technology can help you make the most of it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article is for consumers looking for information on &lt;a target="_new" href="http://snltranscripts.jt.org/cable/comcast-deals-.html"&gt;Best Comcast Deals&lt;/a&gt;.

type='text'>Two Enter Internet Battle</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Consumers understand that when there is more competition in a market, there are lower prices. This is especially true in the computer industry where it is reported that 68% of households have a computer. According to the Computer Industry Almanac, the worldwide number of Internet users will exceed 1 billion this year with the United States leading with over 185 million users. The number of users will continue to increase as well as competitors, forcing companies to offer faster connections at a cheaper price. Two technologies that will lend a hand in allowing new players into the Broadband market are BPL and WIMAX.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Broadband Over Power Lines, BPL&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BPL is a technology that allows Internet data to be transmitted over utility power lines and is also referred to as Power-line Communications or PLC. The technology works by modulating high-frequency radio waves with the digital signals from the Internet. These radio waves are fed into the utility grid at specific points, then travel along the wires and pass through the utility transformers into homes and businesses. One main concern by officials in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), is that BPL will interfere with radio systems including fire, police, short-wave and land mobile. There are other groups who are taking the initiative in realizing this potential including the IEEE which has begun to develop IEEE P1675, "Standard for Broadband over Power Line Hardware."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This technology has gained national attention with reports by the Wall Street Journal that industry powerhouses Google and Goldman Sachs have invested nearly $100 million into Current Communications Group, a company that provides high-speed Internet access over electrical power lines. According to Reuters, CCG will use the financing to deploy voice, video and data services in domestic and global markets. IBM is also currently researching the use of electrical power lines to provide internet access by opening a BPL center in Houston with CenterPoint Energy although IBM has declined to put a dollar value on the amount invested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WIMAX&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WiMAX, also known as IEEE 802.16, is a standards-based wireless technology that provides broadband connections over long distances and is intended for wireless metropolitan area networks". It can be used for wireless networking in much the same way WiFi is used today while also allowing for more efficient bandwidth use and interference avoidance. WiMAX has a broadband wireless access range of 30 miles compared to only 100 ?300 feet for a WiFi wireless local area network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including "last mile" broadband connections, hotspots, and high-speed connectivity for businesses. Alvarion, a global organization headquartered in Israel that supplies integrated Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) solutions, has announced it will supply satellite provider DirecTV Group Inc. with equipment that uses WIMAX technology in order to enhance customer upstream bandwidth requirements. By implementing last mile?broadband connections, DirecTV would then be able to supply faster connections to rural areas where it would cost millions to lay down the cable lines necessary for high speed. Another application under consideration is gaming. Microsoft is looking to make WiMax a standard feature in its Xbox 360. This would allow gamers with similar equipment to interact with other players without any internet access. All the funcionality of WiFi with improved range and reduced network latency makes WiMAX a very attractive alternative. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Junior is a freelance writer and web programmer for &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.jccorner.com"&gt;http://www.jccorner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-package98057.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Package98057&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-faq93675.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Faq93675&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile22918.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx U Mobile22918&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-U-mobile84073.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx U Mobile84073&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-DSL49231.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Dsl49231&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-www-u36869.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Www U36869&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-test15689.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Test15689&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx40823.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx40823&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-speedtest16619.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Speedtest16619&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-combo30920.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Combo30920&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-email82918.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Email82918&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-speedtest49824.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Speedtest49824&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-u-com-my52365.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx U Com My52365&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-wireless76402.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Wireless76402&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx20370.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx20370&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-4216463394348393453?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/4216463394348393453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=4216463394348393453' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/4216463394348393453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/4216463394348393453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-enter-internet-battle_961.html' title='Two Enter Internet Battle'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-2445290141017635783</id><published>2008-05-15T01:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-15T01:36:31.461-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two Enter Internet Battle</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Consumers understand that when there is more competition in a market, there are lower prices.

All the funcionality of WiFi with improved range and reduced network latency makes WiMAX a very attractive alternative. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Junior is a freelance writer and web programmer for &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.jccorner.com"&gt;http://www.jccorner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-package98057.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Package98057&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-faq93675.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Faq93675&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile22918.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx U Mobile22918&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-U-mobile84073.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx U Mobile84073&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-DSL49231.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Dsl49231&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-www-u36869.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Www U36869&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-test15689.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Test15689&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx40823.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx40823&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-speedtest16619.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Speedtest16619&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-combo30920.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Combo30920&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-email82918.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Email82918&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-speedtest49824.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Speedtest49824&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-u-com-my52365.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx U Com My52365&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-wireless76402.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Wireless76402&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx20370.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx20370&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-2445290141017635783?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/2445290141017635783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=2445290141017635783' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/2445290141017635783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/2445290141017635783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-enter-internet-battle_15.html' title='Two Enter Internet Battle'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-141384521836862806</id><published>2008-05-13T23:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T23:43:54.186-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two Enter Internet Battle</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Consumers understand that when there is more competition in a market, there are lower prices. This is especially true in the computer industry where it is reported that 68% of households have a computer. According to the Computer Industry Almanac, the worldwide number of Internet users will exceed 1 billion this year with the United States leading with over 185 million users. The number of users will continue to increase as well as competitors, forcing companies to offer faster connections at a cheaper price. Two technologies that will lend a hand in allowing new players into the Broadband market are BPL and WIMAX.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Broadband Over Power Lines, BPL&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BPL is a technology that allows Internet data to be transmitted over utility power lines and is also referred to as Power-line Communications or PLC. The technology works by modulating high-frequency radio waves with the digital signals from the Internet. These radio waves are fed into the utility grid at specific points, then travel along the wires and pass through the utility transformers into homes and businesses. One main concern by officials in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), is that BPL will interfere with radio systems including fire, police, short-wave and land mobile. There are other groups who are taking the initiative in realizing this potential including the IEEE which has begun to develop IEEE P1675, "Standard for Broadband over Power Line Hardware."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This technology has gained national attention with reports by the Wall Street Journal that industry powerhouses Google and Goldman Sachs have invested nearly $100 million into Current Communications Group, a company that provides high-speed Internet access over electrical power lines. According to Reuters, CCG will use the financing to deploy voice, video and data services in domestic and global markets. IBM is also currently researching the use of electrical power lines to provide internet access by opening a BPL center in Houston with CenterPoint Energy although IBM has declined to put a dollar value on the amount invested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WIMAX&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WiMAX, also known as IEEE 802.16, is a standards-based wireless technology that provides broadband connections over long distances and is intended for wireless metropolitan area networks". It can be used for wireless networking in much the same way WiFi is used today while also allowing for more efficient bandwidth use and interference avoidance. WiMAX has a broadband wireless access range of 30 miles compared to only 100 ?300 feet for a WiFi wireless local area network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including "last mile" broadband connections, hotspots, and high-speed connectivity for businesses. Alvarion, a global organization headquartered in Israel that supplies integrated Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) solutions, has announced it will supply satellite provider DirecTV Group Inc. with equipment that uses WIMAX technology in order to enhance customer upstream bandwidth requirements. By implementing last mile?broadband connections, DirecTV would then be able to supply faster connections to rural areas where it would cost millions to lay down the cable lines necessary for high speed. Another application under consideration is gaming. Microsoft is looking to make WiMax a standard feature in its Xbox 360. This would allow gamers with similar equipment to interact with other players without any internet access. All the funcionality of WiFi with improved range and reduced network latency makes WiMAX a very attractive alternative. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Junior is a freelance writer and web programmer for &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.jccorner.com"&gt;http://www.jccorner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-bill9945.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Bill9945&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-providers35625.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Providers35625&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-mail44928.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Mail44928&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-package14452.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Package14452&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-router10433.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Router10433&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-guide883.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Guide883&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-U-mobile96492.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx U Mobile96492&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-guide21217.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Guide21217&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-speedtest12358.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Speedtest12358&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-DSL32501.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Dsl32501&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-malaysia21232.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Malaysia21232&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-malaysia13222.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Malaysia13222&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-dns37571.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Dns37571&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-www-u97593.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Www U97593&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-combo73795.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Combo73795&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-141384521836862806?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/141384521836862806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=141384521836862806' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/141384521836862806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/141384521836862806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-enter-internet-battle.html' title='Two Enter Internet Battle'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-3208581371580939968</id><published>2008-05-12T22:54:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T22:54:38.461-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are Wireless Internet or Satellite Internet Providers For You?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Even though it may be hard for some to believe, not everyone has the ability to access high speed internet as of yet. Those who live in remote areas or country settings are still in the dark, so to speak, when it comes to high speed internet and cannot opt for DSL or Cable internet. Therefore, they have to go with a different route. For some this may mean cruising through satellite internet providers and for others this may mean opting for wireless internet, which one is for you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, first, you need to know what the difference between the two is. Satellite internet providers offer semi high speed internet via a satellite, much like those used for satellite cable. There are no cable systems or telephone lines to speak of, but instead a dish is used to communicate the data from your computer to a central point. When we say that satellite internet providers offer semi high speed internet, this is because it is nowhere near the speed of cable and in some cases, it is still slower than DSL, but faster than dial up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wireless internet requires nothing more than a wireless internet card enabled on your computer. However, in a country setting, depending on where the wireless point is, you may not have this option either. Wireless internet uses something like microwave signals to communication between a variety of points. This means that you can connect to the internet wirelessly, without cables, without, cords, and without hassles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which one is for you? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, for the most part it depends on where you live. If you in an extremely remote area, you may only have the option of choosing from satellite internet providers. You would really need to search on the internet and see what is available in your area. You may be lucky and have both wireless internet and satellite internet providers in your area and have the ability to choose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is important to remember that both rely on the weather in terms of signal strength. The strength of the internet signal can drop dramatically in inclement weather. Furthermore, satellite internet providers tend to charge much higher fees than any of their counterparts, which includes wireless internet providers as well. Make sure you look at all of your options, as well as your budget before you choose which one is for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Terry Price is a regular contributor to, &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.laptopsalive.com/"&gt;LaptopsAlive.com&lt;/a&gt; is an informational website for bargain minded consumers of &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.laptopsalive.com/high-speed-satellite-internet-providers.html"&gt;satellite service providers&lt;/a&gt;, laptops, &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.laptopsalive.com/best-price-on-verizon-wireless-plans.html"&gt;wireless service providers&lt;/a&gt; and trojan horse removal programs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-bill9945.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Bill9945&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-providers35625.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Providers35625&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-mail44928.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Mail44928&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-package14452.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Package14452&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-router10433.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Router10433&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-guide883.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Guide883&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-U-mobile96492.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx U Mobile96492&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-guide21217.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Guide21217&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-speedtest12358.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Speedtest12358&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-DSL32501.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Streamyx Dsl32501&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-malaysia21232.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Malaysia21232&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-malaysia13222.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Malaysia13222&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-dns37571.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Dns37571&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-www-u97593.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Www U97593&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-combo73795.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx Combo73795&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-3208581371580939968?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/3208581371580939968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=3208581371580939968' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/3208581371580939968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/3208581371580939968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/are-wireless-internet-or-satellite_12.html' title='Are Wireless Internet or Satellite Internet Providers For You?'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-3218804438482299466</id><published>2008-05-11T23:55:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T23:55:23.412-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are Wireless Internet or Satellite Internet Providers For You?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Even though it may be hard for some to believe, not everyone has the ability to access high speed internet as of yet.

Make sure you look at all of your options, as well as your budget before you choose which one is for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Terry Price is a regular contributor to, &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.laptopsalive.com/"&gt;LaptopsAlive.com&lt;/a&gt; is an informational website for bargain minded consumers of &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.laptopsalive.com/high-speed-satellite-internet-providers.html"&gt;satellite service providers&lt;/a&gt;, laptops, &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.laptopsalive.com/best-price-on-verizon-wireless-plans.html"&gt;wireless service providers&lt;/a&gt; and trojan horse removal programs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-DSL34242.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-test48743.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-adslguide31905.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-U-mobile36426.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-adsl2499327.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile94001.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile23007.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-u-com-my76685.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile55694.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-kota-damansara84157.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-u-com-my19464.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-modem17318.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-DSL21376.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-mail96756.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-selangor72254.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-3218804438482299466?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/3218804438482299466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=3218804438482299466' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/3218804438482299466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/3218804438482299466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/are-wireless-internet-or-satellite.html' title='Are Wireless Internet or Satellite Internet Providers For You?'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-8154525425825035530</id><published>2008-05-11T03:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T03:45:54.552-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Switching To A New ISP Provider</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Let's say you signed up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you were still fairly new to all this internet stuff. As time moved on, you started to realize that they aren't delivering on all of the promises they made in the beginning. For whatever reason, their service isn't what you want. Or worse, what if your ISP just closes suddenly leaving you without a host at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know how stressful it can be on the surface, but relax and know that you aren't the first customer to be put in this sort of predicament. It happens every day to hundreds, even thousands of end users. They survived it, and with the right contingency plan, so can you. Switching to a new ISP / web hosting provider isn't nearly as scary or involved as you might think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Probably the single most important thing that you need to understand and implement RIGHT NOW is the backup. Backing up your data ensures that no matter what happens to your website or the data on your web server space, you always have a current up-to-date copy of your files available to you in the event of an emergency and believe me when I say that emergencies happen. Servers go down and lose information, ISPs close leaving you stranded. ALWAYS have a backup plan!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With your backup in hand and your recent bad experience with your current ISP, start researching with your newfound knowledge in the forefront of your mind. Now you know the right questions to ask.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are your bandwidth needs and what package does the ISP offer to fit them? Depending on where you are, DSL, Cable modems and Digital Broadband are all possibilies. The major benefit to these options is that they can generally use existing phone lines or cable lines. A word of caution on DSL though; Your connection speed can vary depending on your distance from the local source, so be sure to ask where the nearest source is to you and how it might affect your connectivity and speed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two major parts of an ISP service are the phyical network connection (the parts) and the network connection (the part that gives you the ability to surf the internet or send and receive email). Your ISP probably uses a Wide Area Network (WAN) to provide connectivity services to its clients. The largest WAN is the internet itself. You want to look for an ISP with a reliable WAN and high uptime percentage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, talk to your potential ISP to get concrete answers about their customer service capabilities. Ask for client references and make sure - before you have a problem - that your Internet Service Provider is going to respond to issues quickly and to your satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.hostgator.review-site-blog.com"&gt;Click Here For More Information&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile44509.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-package60135.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-adslguide18256.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-dns77684.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-email32592.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-adsl294848.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-package83241.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-bill54557.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-adsl215151.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-guide21569.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-speedtest50120.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-wireless61016.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-adsl270585.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-webmail43840.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-speed34415.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-8154525425825035530?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/8154525425825035530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=8154525425825035530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/8154525425825035530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/8154525425825035530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/switching-to-new-isp-provider.html' title='Switching To A New ISP Provider'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-5953330465780557326</id><published>2008-05-10T01:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-10T01:06:29.709-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How To Predict Bandwidth Consumption In An ISP Network</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There is no single way to do this. The methods are generally dictated by the level of service you offer or your SLAs (Service Level Agreements).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most ISPs work with an over subscription model. The assumption is similar to the way phone networks operate - you assume that only a portion of your customer base uses the network at any one time. If everyone starts to use the phone, the network will generally crash. Famous examples of this include the Bay Area in California during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The key for you is to craft a model that reflects a) the service you desire to offer, b) the legal constraints of your agreements and state policies, and c) practical operating circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are interactive. For example, you might include limitations in your service-restore-on-failure policy to reflect the difficulty of debugging a network at 2.00 am on Sunday morning. Most businesses will not care. Few private individuals will be using the net. Those that do, will probably accept such a limit if the other aspects of the service are good value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most ISPs run a ratio of signed members to backbone capability. Simple example: We want to offer a 1 Mbps service to users. We are provisioning an OC-3 connection (155 MBps). If we provision at 7:1, we can offer service to 1,085 customers before we have to upgrade our backbone with more capability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, this ration and consequences will be covered in our servce contract. Disclosing it is necessary to avoid complaints or legal action by customers during period of high traffic in the ISP network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Customers usually fall into multiple categories, residential and business being the two most obvious. It is common for an ISP with a mix to create customer expectations in line with practical traffic. If you have a set of business customers who work 8-6 on five days a week, it is to your advantage to have lower residential traffic during this time. This may be reflected in lower service contract terms for residential customers during business hours. This is usually acceptable as most customers will also be at work. By contrast, the business user may get a lower service performance during non-business hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These variations show that any model must take each of the tiers into account. You can play all kinds of what-if scenarios to get a feel for the "right" mix for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember to allow for the common customer (e.g. the 5-day 8-6 office) and the more rigorous customer (7 x 24 operation or doing intense backups in the middle of the night). Having multiple pricing tiers and contracts usually cover these circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An older book that covers the general field and will give you food for thought would be "ISP Survival Guide - Strategies for Running a Competitive ISP" by Geoff Huston (Wiley).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you find you do need more bandwidth to meet your planned/expected usage ....

Not too long ago I was on top of the technological world. there wasn't a gadget or anything or the electronic sort that I didn't know about or have. Lately, it's a totally different story. put it this way, up until a few days ago I was stuck in the CD age. The sad thing is I didn't think there was anything better! boy was I wrong! Anyways, one of my greatest pastimes has been watching movies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a couple of days ago I decided to go up to the local electronics store and take a look at whats going on in the world of technology. I was introduced to the iPod. at first I thought it to be too much work and too much money. As I listened to the salesman and thought about what a caveman I was I started to think differently. By the end of his presentation I was sold. I have to admit though, I still had no clue how in the world I was going to make that thing work! Surprisingly (at least to me) it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I read the instructions and even went online to really figure out the capability of what I had purchased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I found out that I could download movies onto my iPod I was overjoyed! The next step was to go online and find a website that I could download movies from and I had never done anything like that ever before. Once again I found it easier than I thought to accomplish my task. The quality of the movies I have downloaded are very good. While I wouldn't watch a movie on my iPod over my TV, it's great for when I travel. So, if there's any other techno-dinosaurs out there I would encourage you to step into the new ages!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jon Peterson is a lifetime Connecticut resident. a pressman by trade and a family man for sure. the iPod he purchased was an apple. the website he uses for his movies is ipodmoviesman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-email86770.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-adsl24358.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-router34278.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-kuala-lumpur85930.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-U-mobile89870.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-kuala-lumpur188.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-combo59476.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-promotion39354.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-promotion41833.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-dns86426.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-wireless34467.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-www-u64241.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-wireless75906.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-adsl2425617.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-u-com-my75402.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-4801299941309989040?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/4801299941309989040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=4801299941309989040' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/4801299941309989040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/4801299941309989040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/downloading-movies-onto-your-ipod.html' title='Downloading Movies Onto Your iPod'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908029093425383911.post-1240704498171055102</id><published>2008-05-07T23:25:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-07T23:25:21.855-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How To Predict Bandwidth Consumption In An ISP Network</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There is no single way to do this. The methods are generally dictated by the level of service you offer or your SLAs (Service Level Agreements).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most ISPs work with an over subscription model. The assumption is similar to the way phone networks operate - you assume that only a portion of your customer base uses the network at any one time. If everyone starts to use the phone, the network will generally crash. Famous examples of this include the Bay Area in California during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The key for you is to craft a model that reflects a) the service you desire to offer, b) the legal constraints of your agreements and state policies, and c) practical operating circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are interactive. For example, you might include limitations in your service-restore-on-failure policy to reflect the difficulty of debugging a network at 2.00 am on Sunday morning. Most businesses will not care. Few private individuals will be using the net. Those that do, will probably accept such a limit if the other aspects of the service are good value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most ISPs run a ratio of signed members to backbone capability. Simple example: We want to offer a 1 Mbps service to users. We are provisioning an OC-3 connection (155 MBps). If we provision at 7:1, we can offer service to 1,085 customers before we have to upgrade our backbone with more capability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, this ration and consequences will be covered in our servce contract. Disclosing it is necessary to avoid complaints or legal action by customers during period of high traffic in the ISP network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Customers usually fall into multiple categories, residential and business being the two most obvious. It is common for an ISP with a mix to create customer expectations in line with practical traffic. If you have a set of business customers who work 8-6 on five days a week, it is to your advantage to have lower residential traffic during this time. This may be reflected in lower service contract terms for residential customers during business hours. This is usually acceptable as most customers will also be at work. By contrast, the business user may get a lower service performance during non-business hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These variations show that any model must take each of the tiers into account. You can play all kinds of what-if scenarios to get a feel for the "right" mix for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember to allow for the common customer (e.g. the 5-day 8-6 office) and the more rigorous customer (7 x 24 operation or doing intense backups in the middle of the night). Having multiple pricing tiers and contracts usually cover these circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An older book that covers the general field and will give you food for thought would be "ISP Survival Guide - Strategies for Running a Competitive ISP" by Geoff Huston (Wiley).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you find you do need more bandwidth to meet your planned/expected usage ....

The assumption is similar to the way phone networks operate - you assume that only a portion of your customer base uses the network at any one time. If everyone starts to use the phone, the network will generally crash. Famous examples of this include the Bay Area in California during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The key for you is to craft a model that reflects a) the service you desire to offer, b) the legal constraints of your agreements and state policies, and c) practical operating circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are interactive. For example, you might include limitations in your service-restore-on-failure policy to reflect the difficulty of debugging a network at 2.00 am on Sunday morning. Most businesses will not care. Few private individuals will be using the net. Those that do, will probably accept such a limit if the other aspects of the service are good value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most ISPs run a ratio of signed members to backbone capability. Simple example: We want to offer a 1 Mbps service to users. We are provisioning an OC-3 connection (155 MBps). If we provision at 7:1, we can offer service to 1,085 customers before we have to upgrade our backbone with more capability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, this ration and consequences will be covered in our servce contract. Disclosing it is necessary to avoid complaints or legal action by customers during period of high traffic in the ISP network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Customers usually fall into multiple categories, residential and business being the two most obvious. It is common for an ISP with a mix to create customer expectations in line with practical traffic. If you have a set of business customers who work 8-6 on five days a week, it is to your advantage to have lower residential traffic during this time. This may be reflected in lower service contract terms for residential customers during business hours. This is usually acceptable as most customers will also be at work. By contrast, the business user may get a lower service performance during non-business hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These variations show that any model must take each of the tiers into account. You can play all kinds of what-if scenarios to get a feel for the "right" mix for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember to allow for the common customer (e.g. the 5-day 8-6 office) and the more rigorous customer (7 x 24 operation or doing intense backups in the middle of the night). Having multiple pricing tiers and contracts usually cover these circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An older book that covers the general field and will give you food for thought would be "ISP Survival Guide - Strategies for Running a Competitive ISP" by Geoff Huston (Wiley).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you find you do need more bandwidth to meet your planned/expected usage ....

That must have been a bit scary.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was up in Genting Highlands, Malaysia, for a conference on 24th June 2006. Over the breakfast table, my friend showed me a piece of news that really shocked me. It was reported that the daughter-in-law was killed by the father-in-law using a shot-gun over some small matter in the kitchen. Accordingly, the father-in-law brought back a piece of wild boar meat and he kept it inside the fridge. Due to his carelessness, there were a few drops of blood on the floor. This made the daughter-in-law grumble over the dirty floor. Without saying anything, the father-in-law went back to his room and came out with his shot-gun. He fired at the head of the daughter-in-law, a house wife, who at that point of time was washing the dishes in the basin. The father-in law killed himself after killing the daughter-in-law. This incident is a bit scary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, according to the law of cause and effect, there must be some cause that triggered off the incident resulting in the tragedy. For feng shui practitioners, the kitchen is one of the six important sections of the house that controls, wealth, health , prosperity and harmony. The oven has to be located correctly at the place where it should be located otherwise, catastrophe and bad luck will befall and the family will be in a chaotic condition. There were many precedents before the above incident. During my practice, my grandmaster always cautions me to be careful when doing reading for kitchen because kitchen is the place where the mouth takes in food which contains chi, The chi might be good or it might be bad depending on the direction of the stove. According to a Chinese saying, all trouble in life comes from the mouth and all sickness enter through the mouth too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To place the stove in the correct direction and the proper place where it should be, you need to seek the advice of a feng shui master. Of course, the real feng shui master, not the half-past six type. This is because, the effect of kitchen alone is not enough to counteract the evil effect. Reading should be done for the whole house and alignment must be fine-tuned so that it harnesses the good chi for all those staying in the same house. The personal kua of the occupants and the kua of the house have to be scrutinized and adjusted so as to reap the greatest benefits of the house as well as to prevent unforeseen incidents from happening.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Master Lim of www.getting-pregnant-naturally.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Master Lim started his practice in Feng-Shui since the mid eighties. He is well known for his unique cosmos therapy , which combines the implementation of electromagnetic field and energy forces with Feng-Shui. An expert in helping you to improve on your health and wealth by teaching you how to align yourself to your own home and office for smooth sailing in life. To him, Feng Shui is all about how to live in harmony with the environment based on scientific perspective,such as the effect of sunlights, colours and electromagnetic fields. He applies the knowledge of Feng-Shui in his everyday life. As a high school principal, he also incorporates the principles of Feng-Shui in his administrative work. He has travelled widely to do readings for those in needs. He was also invited as guest speaker in various parts of Malaysia and overseas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.getting-pregnant-naturally.com"&gt;http://www.getting-pregnant-naturally.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-streamyx-adsl2498877.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-selangor97031.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/cgi-bin/pop.pl/izzi-P1.html&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/cgi-bin/pop.pl/modem-melaka-u.html&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-promotion28301.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-DSL10799.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-speedtest83093.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.ez-broadband.com/cgi-bin/pop.pl?P1=damansara&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-speed98119.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://streamyx-adsl87717.blogspot.com&gt;Streamyx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2908029093425383911-1586251376696674751?l=streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/feeds/1586251376696674751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2908029093425383911&amp;postID=1586251376696674751' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/1586251376696674751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2908029093425383911/posts/default/1586251376696674751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://streamyx-adsl287868.blogspot.com/2008/05/feng-shui-myth-miracles-or-reality.html' title='Feng Shui - Myth, Miracles or Reality?'/><author><name>streamyx-adsl270747</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13198500536880513203</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
