MLPPP Traffic LoadBalancing - Cisco G.703 Ports 12 x E1 [FINE]

There are many technologies that solve Load Balancing Traffic for number of E1s, T1s.
Few of them are:
- Using Inverse MUX (RAD ect)
- Using IPcef Load balancing
- Using MLPPP

Hereby I’d like to confirm that Cisco NPE G1 handling 12 x E1 Traffic Load Balancing Finely.
All Traffic aggregated and bundled to 24 Mbps Total.
All Traffic similarly load on each interface.

There are “3″ 4ME-BAL type modules with 4 G.703 serial ports each.

Sample of Basic & Simple BGP Configuration Juniper OS [JunOS Step by Step]

Juniper OS [JUNOS] has a completely different model of configuration with cisco IOS.
A Basic & Simple BGP config as you can see below.
The scheme is :

- You are connected to two peers
- Your ASNumber 8888
- You are peering with PEER-1 AS 9999
- You are peering with PEER-2 AS 10000
- You are advertising first longer prefix /24 to PEER-1
- You are advertising second longer prefix /24 to PEER-2
- You are advertising supernet aggregate or /23 to PEER-1 & PEER-2
- Why ? Redundancy Purpose

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Configure IP Address for BGP Peer Purpose (PEER-1 & PEER-2) for e.g
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
interfaces {
fe-0/2/0 {
description PEER-1;
speed 100m;
link-mode full-duplex;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 88.88.88.89/30;
}
}
}
fe-0/2/1 {
description PEER-2;
speed 100m;
link-mode full-duplex;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 88.88.88.99/30;
}
}
}
}

The command should be (you can go with step by step command architechture or directly to the end) :

admin@JUNOS>edit
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
admin@JUNOS#edit interfaceS fe-0/2/0

[edit interfaces fe-0/2/0]
admin@JUNOS#
admin@JUNOS#set description PEER-1 speed 100 link-mode full-duplex unit 0 family inet 88.88.88.89/30

admin@JUNOS#edit interfaceS fe-0/2/1
admin@JUNOS#
admin@JUNOS#set description PEER-2 speed 100 link-mode full-duplex unit 0 family inet 88.88.88.99/30

[edit interfaces fe-0/2/1]
admin@JUNOS#
admin@JUNOS#commit

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2. Configure AS Number in Routing Option
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

routing-options {
autonomous-system 8888;

The command should be :

admin@JUNOS>edit
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
admin@JUNOS#set routing-option autonomous-system 8888

++++++++++++
3. Configure BGP
++++++++++++

protocols {
bgp {
group PEER-1 {
type external;
description ***PEER-1***;
damping;
import PEER-IMPORT;
export PEER1-EXPORT;
peer-as 9999;
neighbor 88.88.88.90
}
}
group PEER-2 {
type external;
description ***PEER-2***;
damping;
import PEER-IMPORT;
export PEER2-EXPORT;
peer-as 10000;
neighbor 88.88.88.100
}
}
}
}

The command should be :

admin@JUNOS>edit
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
admin@JUNOS#set protocol bgp group PEER-1 type external description ***PEER-1*** import PEER-IMPORT export PEER1-EXPORT peer-as 9999 neighbor 88.88.88.90
admin@JUNOS#set protocol bgp group PEER-2 type external description ***PEER-2*** import PEER-IMPORT export PEER2-EXPORT peer-as 1000 neighbor 88.88.88.100
admin@JUNOS#commit

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4. Configure BGP Policy & AS Path Access-List in Cisco
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

policy-options {
prefix-list PEER-1 {
88.88.86.0/24;
}
prefix-list PEER-2 {
88.88.87.0/24;
}
prefix-list PEER-12 {
88.88.86.0/23;
}

The command should be :

admin@JUNOS>edit
Entering configuration mode

[edit]
admin@JUNOS#set policy-options prefix-list PEER-1 88.88.88.86.0/24
admin@JUNOS#set policy-options prefix-list PEER-2 88.88.88.87.0/24

then accept;
}
term 3 {

DVD Burning Speed Nero 6.0

Using lenovo 3000 G400 with ability DVD-R [DVD Writing].
With spec : Dual Core & Memory 1 GB.
And Nero Software version 6.0

I have a maximum written speed : 8x
Takes time almost 40 minutes to write 1 DVD.
Pretty long huh ?
Leave it go for lunch !.

Other thing what I observed, it might be the Notebook Resources not enough to handle properly the process during burning or moving huge data.
The real effect as I could have seen was slow motion screen moving
Here the captured burning process.

IPv6 [Simple & Quick Setup] in Windows XP

Here are simple steps for quick setup ipv6 address in Windows XP.

1. Install IPv6
2. Go Netsh
3. Go to Interface Address
4. Add Address “Local Area Connection” 2404:170:253::10 [IPv6 interface address]
5. Add route 0::/0 “Local Area Connection” 2404:170:253::1 [IPv6 Default Gw]
6. DNS, let your IPv4 does it if no IPv6 dns available — dual stack –
7. You Firefox Browser Default is IPv6 Access
8. Goes to : http://indotube6.indo.net.id to verify your IPv6 connection
Real setup would be this :

Farewell - Best Friend of Us [Iwan Wibisana]

It’s 3 years we have been through along the way towarding a better provider.
And H.A who firstly pioneered this “migration” to that “Telco Blue Building”- called as TBB located in Mega Kuningan in 2006.
Second, who else it’s me who takes only 7 days working and shocking all over this TBB for a fastest turn over
Third, R.S.Putra who migrated to a Telco & IT/IP Vendor Product before to this TBB for staying 4 months while in the end has to take a good challenge on another quite new mobile communication operator.
Lately Iwan Wibisana to TBB this week.

Find out the Video here : http://indotube6.indo.net.id/

Sometimes an engineer needs another challenge againts his/her skill.
Proof their existance, to survive.
The decision truely is not an easy one, but completely full of justifications and risks.
I’ve been there before.
Like navigating a ship (life), always takes time for each moving / direction.

Good Luck Iwi.

Make a lot friends there.
Keep us in touched.

GSM Network Busy [Often, Lately]

As the telecommunication especially mobile operator rate is now became cheaper & cheaper (compared to SLJJ). The quality [should] still needed to be maintained.
From What I have been through as one of GSM user lately, it’s been many times facing “network busy” even in a critical communication needed immediately to be established with Office, Partner & ect.

I believe this Busy Network was not only happened in GSM XL Mobile Network.
Since all operator is now doing the same thing in pricing.
Lower rate & Extreme Promotion has caused what I might assumed as Congestion Traffic either Voice or even Data that always drop due to it’s default priority in a BTS Channels.

Busy Network could occur when idle channel is not available in a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to take care of voice or data request.
The BTS channel comprises of :

Therefor once another request get in to the receiving system of a BTS, it will be rejected and informed that Network is now Busy to take care of this request to MS (Mobile Station or Handset).
I’m not pretty sure, this kind of Network Information Status sent by BSC or BTS system it self using SDCCH.

Wishing All Operator not just thinking how to compete in the matter of price but concerning as well on maintaining Capacity & Quality of BTS, BSC, MSC Backbone.

Sony Ericsson Navigator Key Problem

It’s been 1.5 years now
I’m using this Sony Ericsson K 608.
I have a problem with Navigator Key since last 4 months.

My colleagues use another Sony Ericsson series.
And the problem stick on the same key.
