MTIN WISPA Announcement
MTIN would like to announce some exciting new services for ISPs and network operators
The first is Midwest Internet Exchange ( www.midwest-ix.com )
MidWest-IX has created a peering fabric we are expanding to data centers focused on the needs of WISPs and network operators such as yourself. Peering can be a valuable, and cost-effective solution for your ISP. MidWest-IX has created a solution based around those needs.
We are tailoring and providing these services to the WISP community as a way of making everyone stronger. WISP operators need advantages. MidWest-IX can provide lower latency to content providers such as Netflix. MidWest-IX can cut down on transit costs through peering. We are also creating an ever-growing marketplace for members to provide redundancy, market goods and services to each other, and create a WISP peering cloud. We have many more benefits of an exchange listed at: http://www.midwest-ix.com/benefits.html
We have exchange services available at:
350 East Cermak Chicago Illinois
733 West Henry Street Indianapolis Indiana
401 North Shadeland, Indianapolis Indiana
900 Walnut St. Louis Missouri
535 Scherers Court Columbus, Ohio
If you are a WISP in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, or Missouri contact us on how we can leverage the exchange to help your business. Other locations planned for 2015.
Our next announcement includes services in several Data Centers.
MTIN in cooperation with Midwest Internet Exchange (M-IX) offers co-Location, bandwidth, peering, transport, and managed services.
Do you have a need for circuit termination, server/router space, or peering in any of the above locations? Let us put together a managed solution for you. MTIN can handle the ins and outs of cross-connects, facilitating ports to the exchange fabric, and other data center needs. A data center can be an intimidating thing. Let us take the guesswork out of it for you.
Services Include
-Bandwidth (let our experts provide unique and out-of-the-box solutions)
-Transport
-Cross connects and cable landings
-Off-site backup and DR
-Co-location (TierIV and basic Co-location)

Mikrotik Router OS 6.25 released
What’s new in 6.25 (2015-Jan-19 10:11):
*) certificates – fix SCEP RA operation and SCEP client when operating with RA;
*) ppp – report authentication failure cause like in v6.6;
*) ovpn server – added support for address lists;
*) improved boot times;
*) api – fixed missing return values of some commands;
*) ntp – fixed vulnerabilities;
*) mpls/vpls have improved per core balancing on CCRs;
*) fixed queue tree no-mark matching (was broken since 6.24);
*) fixed nested simple queues (was broken since 6.24);
*) fixed occasional crash when ipv6 was used;
*) fixed route cache overflow (ipv4/ipv6 stops working) if ipsec is used;
*) fixed Omnitik upgrade from v5 where wireless config was not correctly saved
*) fixed Webfig Design Skin where some skin changes were not saved
*) WPS support added to CM2 wireless package
Simply click “Check for updates” in QuickSet, Webfig or Winbox packages menu. It should also work from v5
Is 2015 the year you want to start a new business?
How about expanding your existing business?
Let MTIN help you with your web-site and hoisting needs. Everyone these days needs a web-site. Not everyone is on Facebook or Twitter. You need a web-site that is easily searchable and provides potential customers targeted information.
MTIN has a special until the end of the month. Our “break into 2015” special includes the following:
-Registration of your own .com or .biz domain name.
-Design of a single basic web page
-e-mail setup of your own customized address to go along with your domain
-1 Year of hosting
-4 free updates during that year (pricing, address, telephone, whatever changes)
-Search Engine registration
-Facebook & Twitter Integration
$350 one time
or
2 payments of $200
or
12 payments of $40
If you already have your own web-site we can probably save you money on your hosting bill.
From the Bitlomat Page:
Bitlomat has developed Passport, an innovative point-to-multipoint TDM-derived protocol with the needs of large scale outdoor networks and wireless internet service providers (WISPs) in mind.
Passport resolves the hidden terminal issue that is the root cause of poor performance in many large scale wireless networks, and provides the network operator with the highest throughput and spectrum efficiency available on the market.
Passport implements an advanced medium access control protocol to allow for fine-grain configuration of the guaranteed bandwidth that each client should have in the network. A WISP can create different classes of traffic and users, providing different guaranteed throughput on the same wireless network based on the access level or SLA that each user has subscribed to.
Passport is available for free for all Bitlomat products and comes embedded in the Bitlomat firmare.

The news that really makes you want to check it out:
Not only does Passport offer major improvements in throughput, bandwidth, latency, etc. but it’s now available for download to be flashed on to your existing network!

Modular advantages
Several of you have heard me talk about modular network design. There are five distinct advantages of a modular network design.
1.Scalable
You can upgrade pieces easier than all-in-one devices. Being able to upgrade a certain module for that big new client might mean the difference between being able to do it in 10 days instead of 30.
2.Resilient
You can avoid single points of failure. You are not depending on “big iron” for everything. You have multiple modules as a part of your design.
3.Performance
If routers, switches, access points, or whatever are doing less then you get better performance out them. CPUs are dedicating more time toward less processes. This results in better performance. Routers that are doing just BGP are able to process route tables better than ones doing stuff like OSPF or radius.
4.Flexible
You are less dependent on certain vendors, or product families. Instead of having some big router that does BGP, OSPF, and other functions you can have a modular design where a router does, lets say, just BGP. Now you have more choices in hardware because it might not. This allows you to try out newer products or new product features.
5.Easier to maintain
Doing software upgrades on a modular devices, which is doing less things, means bugs and interoperability things don’t happen as often. Every piece of code has bugs. If the device is doing 5 tasks instead of 15 then the chance of a bug affecting the device is less. It also allows you to compartmentalize certain parts of the network.

PDF Release notes can be found at http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-1000/New-ePMP-Release-2-3-1-now-available/m-p/37067#U37067
Highlights Include:
o RFC1213 supports standard interface MIBs. Items such as Ethernet interface Tx/Rx and
corresponding stats are now supported per the standard RFC. This allows users to utilize 3rd party monitoring tools that support RFC1213
• Separate Management IP when SM is in NAT mode
o Separate Wireless Management IP will provide the ability to separate management traffic from user traffic when the SM is configured in NAT mode providing separate management access to the SM. This includes the ability to have a separate management interface when PPPoE is enabled on the SM.
• ARP table display
o Displays all the ARP entries for interfaces present in the routing table
• VoIP helper functionality under NAT
o When the SM is in NAT mode, ePMP inspects SDP packets and automatically creates appropriate
