MikroTik Experience Overview - Wireless ISP Solutions Arnis Riekstins, Chief Technical Officer John Tully, Managing Director, MikroTik
Wireless Presentation Program • Overview of MikroTik experience • Basics of Wireless ISP solutions • “Question and answer” to clarify the most important topics for the attendees • Wireless ISM issues – interference • Network infrastructure • Traffic shaping • AP setup and backbone routing • Low cost wireless client setups with PPPoE MikroTik Overview
Contents • MikroTik Company Overview • What’s new in MikroTik RouterOS V2.5 • PPPoEOverview and Applications • PPTP Applications • OSPF Routing and Backup Links • Combining PPTP and OSPF for Backup Links MikroTik Overview
MikroTik Mission • We create Intel (PC) based network solutions, because: • Hardware cost can be adjusted to the client’s needs – contemporary or ‘server-quality’ • Intel is the most powerful and most price attractive platform • Easy hardware upgrade • RouterOS can be easily upgraded with new functionality MikroTik Overview
MikroTik Mission (cont.) • How do we do things?: • We are a small WISP ourselves, therefore we are able to develop solutions for our customers based on our own experience • Our customers are: • Internet Service Providers (ISPs) • Hardware wireless ISPs – more than 45 countries • Software RouterOS – almost all countries (120+) • Organizations requiring IP network solutions for their own needs – corporate networks (Intranets) MikroTik Overview
MikroTik’s History • Active in WISP solutions since 1995 • Incorporated in 1996 • Wireless ISP Projects around the World • Since 1996 Development of own Software for Intel (PC) based routing solutions • 2002: 20+ employees (programmers, engineers, sales, technical support, administrative) MikroTik Overview
MikroTik News • New Hardware platforms • Software V2.5 released • MikroTik provides training on wireless installations and network setup – next seminar in Prague, Czech Republic, June 26-28 MikroTik Overview
New Hardware platforms • MikroTik Thin Router • 333MHz Processor, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, one expansion slot for ISA or PCI • 19” Rackmount • 4U – Silver Server style • Gigabit Ethernet • Prism II 200mW Wireless Interfaces MikroTik Overview
MikroTik RouterOS V2.5 • PPPoE Access Concentrator • 2.4GHz Access Point • VPN (PPTP tunnels between routers) • PPTP Access Concentrator (PPTP tunnels between the router and workstations) • EoIP tunnels – for transparent bridging of networks MikroTik Overview
PPPoE Access Concentrator • Usage: • For Ethernet LANs, to assign IP addresses to workstations, e.g.: • Multi-apartment buildings • Offices, to provide user authentication and accounting • Schools and universities, computer classes • Connections to Wireless ISPs • Connections to xDSL providers MikroTik Overview
PPPoE Access Concentrator • Advantages • User authentication • 128bit tunnel between the workstation and the PPPoE Access Concentrator • Easy user management using RADIUS server MikroTik Overview
VPN • 128bit encrypted tunnels • Applications: • Permanent tunnels between routers • PPTP Access Concentrator for many clients (Windows workstations) and mobile clients (work from home and while traveling) MikroTik Overview
Ethernet over IP (EoIP) Tunnels • Application: • To bridge Ethernet LANs • Can be used together with PPTP tunnels • Bandwidth can be limited over the tunnels • Providers can sell bandwidth to the corporate customers for their Intranet needs MikroTik Overview
2.4GHz Access Point • Can be used as IEEE 802.11b AP in several ways: • Simple Access Point • Wireless AP and Ethernet router in one box • Wireless AP and PPPoE Access Concentrator • Can have several wireless interfaces • Can be a wireless client and an AP • Can be used to register other APs and bridge the networks MikroTik Overview
Synchronous Adapters • Cyclades PC300 V.35 Synchronous • For leased lines with baseband modems, supports Frame Relay • Cyclades PC300 E1/T1 • For leased lines • MOXA C101 V.35 Synchronous MikroTik Overview
Training • Topics • MikroTik RouterOS Installation and Configuration • Wireless Network Planning and Developing • LAN Development using PPPoE Protocol • Contact us: • sales@mikrotik.com • support@mikrotik.com MikroTik Overview
PPTP Protocol • Virtual Private Networks (VPN) • Data Encryption over PPTP Links • PPTP and Corporate Networks • Bandwidth Management on PPTP Tunnels MikroTik Overview
PPTP Applications MikroTik Overview
