Velocity1 and BBC


We've got few visits from BBC to show up our 100Mbit/s service called Boost. It's a pretty good marketing idea
and good for the people who are using file sharing and HD streaming applications (like cisco video conference systems) etc. 

BBC did few tests described in the link bellow - the first test was with iPlayer (BBC application) and iTunnes
apperantly they weren't happy with the iTunnes because it was showing 10mins to get the movie so we had
to explain to them that we don't have control on 3th party servers and the idea behind the garantee of some capacity
is that we have the promissed bandwidht to our uplink providers and after that we don't have any control. 

They also did another "Web based speed test" which showed 78Mbit/s downlink and 50Mbit/s uplink BUT
most of these web based speed tests are based on the average broadband connectivity in UK.








100Mbps broadband - who needs it?

IOS on Unix (IOU)

source http://evilrouters.net/2011/01/18/cisco-iou-faq/ What is IOU? From the Cisco Engineering Education web site (a long time ago): IOS on Unix (IOU) is a fully working version of IOS that runs as a user mode UNIX (Solaris) process. IOU is built as a native Solaris image and run just like any other program. IOU supports all platform independent protocols and features. What operating systems does IOU run on? It is my understanding that, initially, IOU was Solaris (SPARC) only. Nowadays, however, there are also builds for OS X and Linux. Similar to dynamips, IOU allows you to build out a network topology on a computer, without the need for physical routers. This is useful for validating designs, proof-of-concept testing, and certification self-study. Is my system compatible with IOU? You will need to be running the operating system that your IOU image were built for, obviously. Other than that, there are no special requirements to run IOU. It is not very CPU- or memory-intensive, unlik...

Impressed with Poly brand for conference headphones

I previously used my Sony XM4 headphones for calls and initially found them versatile for multiple purposes. However, as my meetings extended to several hours, I noticed they became less comfortable. To address this, I upgraded to wireless headphones from Poly, which offer significantly improved comfort. While I don’t plan to use them for music listening, my initial impression is very positive.
