  • You Need These for Cabling, Right?

    I’m currently trying to justify a sweet pair of these…drywall stilts! hehe.

    An extra 24-40″, that would make me almost 10′ tall! Plus with some blazin blue stilts I would be kickin some major arse!

    Sweeeeeeeeet ;)

  • Mikrotik – QOS Per File – Web Server Limiting

    Jimmy has released another great little article on his personal experience with Mikrotik. His cactiEZ cd gets a LOT of downloads, so this is his method with dealing with such problems. He marks connections using a L7 regex statement, then wrangles those packets into a queue. You can find the article HERE.

  • Mikrotik OS v3.24

    Change log can be found HERE.

    Thanks to Normunds I was actually able to get a peek at this OS a little early. This was in direct response to my RB450G testing. They fixed a lot of BGP issues with this new release. I’ll post my full results of the retest in the next couple of days. They also fixed METArouter =)

    Highlights:

    *) added ability to run non RouterOS in MetaROUTER;
    I mentioned this last week in the newsletter. To gain more info hit the metarouter wiki page.

    *) console – ‘print’ commands have new option ‘follow-only’ that continuously
    shows changes like the ‘follow’ option, but does not print all items
    at the beginning;
    Sounds like a live tail…which is pretty cool.

    *) routing-test – speed up BGP route processing;
    Indeed they have sped it up.
