Well since I changed my career into IT Security in Novermber 2008 I haven’t done much in the way of networking or subnetting.

Today i suprised my self, I can still stubnet in my head. I was asked by one of the guys from another team if i new what a /25 subnet was. and off the top of my head before i even stood to try and work it out, the answer had left my mouth.

Quite impressed with my self,

Heads up – Juniper are offering free exams at the momment. Think i might do that. We will see.

02 are going to employ a new “traffic management” system on its broadband facilities

Bewteen the hours of 8PM and 11PM customers will notice that the following traffic is restricted and will run slower

File-sharing:

• BitTorrent
• Blubster
• Gnutella
• KaZaA
• WinMX_6688
• WinMX_6699
• eDonkey
• Filetopia
• eDonkey_UDP
• Hotline
• Hotline_1234
• DirectConnect
• GuruGuru
• Soribada
• Soulseek
• Ares
• Rodi
• JoltID
• eMule_UDP
• Waste
• Konspire2b
• ExoSee
• FurthurNet
• MUTE
• GNUnet
• Nodezilla

Newsgroups:

• NNTP
• NNTPS
• TAC_News
• Audio_News
• NTalk
• NetNews
• NAS
• DDI
• Giganews

The problem i see with this is that alot of letgitimate traffic in the linux community is over bit torrent, a lot of applications are distributed over torrents.

Yet again another 02 business dicates its ruling, stuff their customers. – HERE’S  NEW IDEA, UPGRADE YOUR NETWORK.

02 Currently have only 400, 000 customers, so how come other ISP’s manage just fine? Yet another reason why 02 will not see any of my business, im just fed up with their dicatatorship!
