Minutes

SOWN Projects Group (SOWN-PG)

Progress on:

• 802.1x
  • User:StuartHarland, User:Snh206 and User:TimChown took part in a webcast with JANET regarding the completion of this from their point of view.
  • Issues have arisen with some users being unable to connect to nodes, and with SSIDs 'disappearing'.
• WiMAX
  • Meeting next Thursday regarding how to proceed, to be attended by our industrial partner.
• Mobile IPv6
  • User:StuartHarland, User:Snh206 and User:TimChown took part in a call with the other partners and are planning some testing once the firewall issues have been resolved.
  • Sown-test has been set up and tested and is ready to be deployed as the ECS IPv6 firewall.
  • The location of the two new servers are currently unknown.
  • An amplifier has been ordered.
• Documentation
  • A skeleton Information for Node Owners page has been created and needs content to be added.

Other Issues

• Welcome new people (and say hello to older ones as well)
  • Everyone introduced themselves, including User:DavidTarrant who 'waved' over IRC.

• Planning for deployment of SOWN-Zepler
  • The node is ready to be deployed, and it is intended that both 802.11a and 802.11b will be made available from a single node.
  • We should wait until the amplifier arrives before this is deployed.

• Certificates for Auth
  • Certificates have been obtained, we are working on a plan to deploy these.

• Settings for home nodes
  • Changing wireless channel does not update immediately
    • its not broken, it just needs to rerun the setupnode script
  • Does traffic-shaping also not roll out immediately?
    • probably not, the setupnode script probably needs to be run
    • Perhaps using nagios so admins can restrict the amount of bandwidth per month/day to prevent overuse on cyclic billing.
    • Need to implement some direct traffic monitoring to prevent overuse.

iptables -L -xv 

• Progress on Todo list
