CNET Broadband Routers
by Odhiambo ワシントン 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hello List, Does anyone have in mind a local vendor for CNET Broadband routers? I am looking for something like the CWR-901. If anyone has played with this hardware as a VPN endpoint, I'd really love to know how many VPN users it can handle. For the networking experts - can I use this as a substitute for Cisco ASA in a SMB environment? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Advice on job change...
by Simon Mbuthia 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi guys, I got this job last month in a certain financial institution which is not so big. There are two of us in the IT department, and my partner is not so experienced (I can tell he has limited knowledge in IT, with all due respect to him). I joined as a management trainee, but there is nothing I am learning from my partner. All I have learnt is to do End of Day and Start of Day procedures on the core banking system. On windows administration, I can do a better job that what's been done here. Anyway, I don't mean to crioticize my employer, but I just feel that this job isn't challenging enough. I have sought advice from a few friends, some tell me to move on and others tell me to wait until my probation is over, which sounds logical, but I feel like waiting for my probation to be over would be a waste of time because I am not really building on any experience and besides, I had to stop attending classes for CCNA that I had registered for because I leave work at about 6:30 PM. We'll soon be moving to Westlands, which would mean taking longer to get home, or less time for my studies and stuff like that. So now what do the skunks have to say? Thanks in advance :) Me. -- שִׁמְעוֹן

Orange edge , Yu not yet on Seacom
by aki 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I checked both edge services, none are on Seacom yet. Anyone checked safcom? Or for that matter has any ISP done the move. From a network world, this is a major disappointment. ( This is delayed network justice, how long does it take a packet to travel from mombasa to nairobi ).

As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making body, responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks. IETF participants represent an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the next two IETF meetings: * IETF 76 being held in Hiroshima, Japan, 8-13 November 2009 * IETF 77 being held in Anaheim, USA, 21-26 March 2010 Up to six fellowships will be awarded for each IETF meeting. Full details on the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF, including how to apply, are located on the ISOC website at : http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by *31 July 2009*.

Forty seven individuals from 29 countries have participated in the program since its inception. I encourage you to pass information about this program to individuals involved in your regional operators' groups that have a keen interest in the Internet standardisation activities of the IETF.
