Old functional hardware - where does it best go?
by Jeroen Massar 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Hi, So, interrupting the summery silence on this list a bit, and it might not be entirely swinog-appropriate... but... I was doing some sorting out of various things and realized that I amassed too many old unused computers and various components that are still in full functional order, but not very useful to use due to their oldness, powerconsumption and simply as they have been replaced with better ones. As such, I am asking if somebody knows what the best way is to get effectively rid of various things like a full functioning (network,video,audio) p100 (DEC multia), a p200 (small tower), a dual p2-266 (tower), a dual p3-600 (qube case), nslu2's and then an assorted list of other things like cd drives etc. What is the best way to go with this kind of stuff? Trash is an option, but it is not like these things are small ;) Greets, Jeroen

Chris: I am soo sad you didn't hit me up about the old Cisco gear you sent away...I would have taken it all! Same goes for youJeroen, if you've got Cisco gear going to that pile, I will be glad to relieve you of it FREE OF CHARGE! And I will come pick it up as well.

Hey Jeroen,when I cleaned out my lab, a similar list of items plus a ton of old Cisco stuff, I donated the whole lot to some guys who were putting together a hackerspace. Maybe there's something similar, a hackerspace or maker lab near you?

Survey on IPSEC VPN vs. managed MPLS
by Beat Eichenberger 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Dear SwiNOG members I'm currently finishing my <FH/Bachelor> degree on IT and economics and I'm therefore focusing on my bachelor thesis. I'm working in the telecommunications industries since more than 15 years now, and having the role as "Head of Telecommunication" in an international IT company. My thesis is about the acceptance of IP Sec VPN for Intranet transport connections. I'm following the assumption, that most international companies have already changed, or would be ready to change their classical leased line services, mostly MPLS based and managed by service providers, against self-managed IPSec Internet VPN. I already had some very interesting interviews with CTO's and IT Managers from many companies. They do believe that the internet and technology today is mature enough. But when I ask them about their opinion on that topic, they mostly refer to their network professionals, since they hold a key role on technical decision of such matter. My goal is to reach as many network engineers, heads of telecommunication, CTO's, etc. as possible. So pros like you and I responsible for planning, engineering and/or maintaining their company's intranet. Therefore I'm kindly asking you, if you could please participate on the following survey, if the description above applies to you: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MPLSvsIPSec I very much appreciate your help and contribution! It is planned to present the results and outcome on SwiNOG#25 in Bern. Many thanks for your feedback and support! Beat
