🚀 HomeLab Network Upgrade Progress 🚀 Failover between my fiber and cable connections is now seamlessly operational in OPNSense. My TDS Telecommunications LLC is great but BRAND NEW. The weather we've had is really helping shake out the weak parts of the build. While that gets sorted, having a backup for real basic stuff is nice and not crazy expensive. Ran into a hiccup when I realized I ran out of 10Gbit SFP+ ports...oops! But fear not, a new Mikrotik CRS309-1G-8S+ is now on board. (Sorry, not-sorry Travis Carter) I'll have some future projects that better explain my need for this feature. Surprisingly, those Monoprice 6" and 1' CAT 6A patch cables did the job, despite their tiny conductors. Supporting 2.5 Gbit POE like champs. The top two switches can provide 130 Watts of POE and up to 2.5 Gbps per port with a 10Gbit uplink. I'm really pleased with the security camera and Wireless AP support these provide. The red RoomAlert at the bottom? It's a dumpster dive from a while back and connecting external sensors will be a whole thing. The other stuff? I think the rack looks better fully populated. There's still more tinkering to be done, but hey, the network is stable and looking uh, like a network? Progress, my friends! Progress! #HomeLab #NetworkUpgrade #TechTales #DIYNetworking

While working with Proxidize I deal with countless SIM cards and their IPs worldwide – from Asia to North America and everywhere in between – something caught my eye lately. Imagine this: a German SIM card in a modem chilling in France. Switch on roaming, and it snags a German IP, even though the modem's kicking it in France. Every site it taps into thinks it's all going down in Germany. This isn't a real-life story, just a wild example. But over at Proxidize I've seen similar tales with hardware running in different countries. Though the exact circumstances that need to be present for this to work properly are still unclear. 🚀 Just goes to show, the world of proxies is full of surprises, there will always be something interesting coming up, there will always be new methods and more ways to make good use of whatever equipment we can get our hands on, this is truly fascinating, and in a world like this, the possibilities are endless! P.S: here’s a photo of how 100 modems running 100 proxies look like on the hardware level

Check out our new PON Microsite. There are lots misconceptions about PON and what some of the pitfalls are. Hopefully this helps you with at least one new bit of knowledge. Let me know. #PON #XGSPON #veex

#Blog : Introduction to Internal Protocols in Hardware Devices

Besides ESS, what else launched in 1974? The development of the Internet protocol (IP)!   Created by computer scientists Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf, also called the "fathers of the Internet", the Internet Protocol is a set of rules governing the format of data sent over the Internet or other networks. It provides the basis for communication in computer networks by allowing data to be routed between devices.   Bob and Vint's work led to the creation of the Transmission Control Program (TCP). The fundamental principles of TCP included the concept of breaking down data into packets for transmission and the use of a packet-switched network. It introduced the idea of internetwork, where multiple networks could be interconnected to form a larger network of networks.   We are Essential! #tcpip #historyfacts #internet #erpsoftware #erpsystem

I am thrilled to share my latest achievement! 🎉 I recently completed a comprehensive Mobile Package course, which took me on an incredible journey of knowledge and discovery with the esteemed engineer Mohamed Abbas. This course covered the evolution of mobile networks from the first generation (1G) to the fifth generation (5G). Along the way, I learned: 1. The purpose and usage of each generation. 2. The infrastructure of each generation (Network Architecture). 3. The meaning of Handover and how does it work.      ……and many other fascinating technical concepts! A huge thanks to engineer Mohamed Abbas, the owner of the Moniem Tech channel on YouTube(https://lnkd.in/dn9hpAxw), for his outstanding effort and clear, engaging explanations.  If you're interested in mobile technology, I highly recommend checking out the course on his YouTube channel: (https://lnkd.in/dzGfV3Ys) #MobileTechnology #LearningJourney #1Gto5G #KnowledgeSharing #MoniemTech #TechEducation #ContinuousLearning

#Throwback to the 1960s, the birth of ARPANET and the creation of the Interface Message Processor (IMP), the very first router 🌍💻 This invention connected the first nodes of the internet.
