Merryworks is an IT service provider.
Never used those, I use iDrive or iBackup. iDrive is more for personal where iBackup does servers and more business.

How is iBackup? Do they throttle bandwidth? How are your experiences with them? I am looking them up as we speak.
Jan 6, 2012 at 3:47 UTC
Do you know if iBackup has archiving as well?

I've started my cloud backup experience with Mozy Pro. All I can say is stay away. Very unprofessional tech support, response time were counted in days. Mozy was never able to get their product to work as advertised. I don't recall what exactly was my issue, but I bet it had something to do with continuous backup. I cancelled their service after less than two weeks, I just couldn't handle their incompetence and lack of commitment to business customer.
I moved on to Carbonite, just to find out that it sucked as bad as Mozy, then I used Spearstone Diskagent for over a year. It worked, that's all I can say. How it worked is a different story. Just recently I learned that they had problems handling customers with more than 100k files. And they actually threatened me to cancel the service if my company wouldn't reduce amount of files. A week later we were a happy Rackspace and Jungledisk customer.

I use SOS iBackup, and DriveHQ. I like DriveHQ better for the management capabilities. When my customers buy space I just create a subgroup within my account allocate the space and set the backup client on the server or desktop depending on what they need and schedule the task. When the backup completes I get an email with the results.

THanks for the reply guys. I am in the market for an online backup solution that is able to archive as well as backup. I looked on SoS website, and it says they are able to archive, keeping every version of your file "forever"... I have a friend that uses Mozy Pro and when had to recover something about 5 months back... it was no longer there. He told me Mozy seems to only keep files for about 3 months tops... I can't go with Mozy. Does iBackup or DriveHQ have archiving included? If so, have you guys ever used their archiving solution?
EdgeMedia, what is your experience with SoS? I just installed their software for a trial of "Server Save" and it's pretty klunky.... so much stuff to install...

A4 IT Services Ltd is an IT service provider.
I have used Idrive which I found slow and cumbersome.
Mozy Pro works very well, it has an easy install & plenty of tuning options. It has good reporting & billing and the reseller backend.

We've been using MozyPro for over a year now to backup our desktops and laptops. It's worked well for us and when I've needed support their customer service group worked fine for me. I didn't try any of the other vendors that people have mentioned so I can't comment on them. I also don't use Mozy to backup our servers.
I've restored many single files and had to do full restores 3 or 4 times, and everything restored perfectly. The file retention period is one that you have to explore with any vendor that you're looking at and determine whether it meets your business requirements.

Sorry if I missed this, but to the OP:
How much data are you looking to backup?
Is this server data or laptop/desktop?
Databases or a bunch of files?
Jan 13, 2012 at 4:46 UTC
i am backing up 3 SERVERS which consists of file shares and exchange mail and sql. all totaling about 500 gb.

Mozy Pro.
SoS does not use VSS in their backup system, they use a version of FCopy.
We used to be a reseller for SoS, and yes now we're a Mozy reseller.
There are things I do not like about Mozy, like the fact I can never get my sales rep to call me back after multiple emails and phone calls. Yet when our CC expired back in November I got 5 phone calls in 1 day. The fact their their software does not auto update nor offer me an option to auto update they just email me every day telling me I had X number of versions out of date which when you get to a lot of customers maintaining their software becomes a problem.
However it works, it works every day and I've successfully used it to restore files from a multitude of customers.
SoS is horrible and their sales/tech support is horrible, at least it was 1.5 years ago, and I see no reason as to why its changed. I remember the biggest problem is they did not have a version of SoS that worked on 64 bit servers. They told me they fixed it but it still relied on Fcopy not VSS which just caused tons of problems.
For backing up a desktop it might be OK but not a server.

Consumers and Sustainability: A Paradigm Shift for Household Cleaners
Conversations with consumers about the household cleaning category reveal a shift in the way consumers think about why and how they clean their home.
Conversations with consumers about the household cleaning category reveal a shift in the way consumers think about why and how they clean their home. Formerly, the act of cleaning was a form of "germ warfare," and entailed a combative relationship between consumers and their environment. However, consumers now talk about working with nature, not against it, to restore balance to their home environment. Chemical-based ingredients such as ammonia and bleach that were once heralded as safe, because they killed bacteria, microbes and viruses, are increasingly being viewed as hazardous due to the danger of ingesting, inhaling and absorbing such products. These concerns are heightened among individuals with young children or pets, and among those with allergies or special sensitivities.
Among sustainability-minded consumers, chemical cleaners are seen as inherently taxing on the earth in their production, due to the fact that they are synthetically created, often using coal and petroleum. Conversely, sustainable household cleaners epitomize safety due to the absence of noxious chemicals, and the presence of recognizable benign ingredients such as citrus, vinegar and baking soda.
For consumers, the olfactory experience of household cleaners is evidence of a household cleaner's naturalness or harsh chemical makeup. Consumers say that "the nose knows," and take a product's institutional or heavily perfumed smell as an immediate giveaway of its chemical makeup and toxicity.
Many consumers begin their adoption of sustainable household cleaners with "free and clear" versions of well-known conventional brands, which boast of having no dyes or perfumes, or to green-positioned brands from leading conventional marketers. According to the 2009 ImagePower Top Green Brands survey by Landor Associates, 68 percent of U.S. respondents recognized Clorox Co.'s Green Works brand is a green brand, such that Green Works ranked as the top sustainable brand in the United States, edging out veteran natural personal care brands such as Burt's Bees (acquired by Clorox in 2007) and Tom's of Maine (acquired by Colgate-Palmolive in 2006).
Within the household cleaners category, packaging communications that convey "natural" are most effective in cuing sustainability in household cleaners. To emphasize the natural and sustainable qualities of a household cleaning product, manufacturers, marketers and retailers should:
• Highlight "plant-based" formulations where applicable.
• List recognizable, food-grade ingredients on the front panel.
• Highlight key absences (for example, "No bleach, phosphates, ammonia, parabens") to mirror the mental checklist that consumers perform when evaluating the harshness of household cleaners.
• Use simple designs with a restrained, natural color palette.
• Note if the product is a concentrate formulation or available as a refill.
In its introduction to "Sustainability: The Rise of Consumer Responsibility," The Hartman Group noted that even the "best intentioned, most committed" sustainability consumers will modify their behavior in response to changing financial conditions. Even so, The Hartman Group anticipated that any trade-offs and cutbacks are less likely to be made in product categories that sustainability consumers view as essential to their quality of life, including food, personal care and household cleaners.
In keeping with that projection, Packaged Facts finds that purchasing rates for sustainable versions of household cleaners remain robust. Among the adult respondents to a February 2009 Packaged Facts online survey, 38 percent indicated that they had used natural or organic household cleaning/maintenance products or laundry products within the previous 12 months. Of the total respondents who had purchased these products, 79 percent had purchased household cleaning/maintenance products, and 66 percent had purchased laundry products.
Percent of Adults Who Buy Natural or Organic Household Cleaning/ Maintenance or Laundry Care Products, February 2009
(U.S. adults)
Source: Packaged Facts online poll of 2,606 adults, conducted in February 2009.
More broadly, consumer convictions related to sustainability remain largely unchanged. According to a spring 2009 Experian Simmons consumer survey, three-fourths of U.S. adults feel a personal obligation to be environmentally responsible, and two-thirds believe that companies should help them in that goal. In addition, two-thirds indicate that they would buy eco-friendly products if those products were less expensive.
Given this robust consumer base and the ever-more-compelling combinations of personal, environmental, social, and economic motivations for adopting sustainable products, the current recession has not derailed the movement of these products further into the mainstream.
This article, the second of a four-part series, draws from "Consumers and Sustainability: Household Cleaners" (September 2009), a joint publication of The Hartman Group and Packaged Facts. (http://www.packagedfacts.com/Hartman-Packaged-Facts-2108846/)

Details are emerging of the contentious agreement to fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2011, including money that will be spent on programs that House Speaker John Boehner and his GOP majority tried to eliminate.
Boehner, President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid agreed to the $1.049 trillion deal late Friday night and averted a government shutdown. It includes $28 billion in new spending cuts for the remaining six months of the year, on top of about $12 billion in reductions that have been approved by Congress.
Some highlights, as outlined by the House Appropriations Committee:
The nation's health care law continues to be funded, despite objections from Republicans who wanted to repeal Obama's initiative and voted in February to strip all funding for its implementation. Funding was eliminated for health care co-ops and "free choice vouchers," provisions in the law that were pushed by Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad and Ron Wyden, respectively.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which grants money to NPR and public television stations, will receive $445 million for a two-year period -- about the level at which it was funded previously. The GOP-led House voted to strip all funding for NPR, amid a controversy over a secretly taped video in which an NPR fundraiser was caught denigrating Republicans and the Tea Party.
Funding for four top White House aides -- known as "czars" -- has been eliminated. The provision, pushed by Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., does not pay for Obama's top advisers for health care, climate change, the auto industry and urban affairs.
The Pentagon will receive $513 billion in federal funding, up about $5 billion from 2010. The budget also fully funds 21,370 Border Patrol agents.
An alternative engine for the F-35 fighter jet -- built near Boehner's district -- will not be funded. Eliminating funding for the engine had long been sought by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Obama and was backed by a strong bipartisan vote in February sought by Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla.
Funding for high-speed rail, a top priority of Obama and Vice President Biden, has been eliminated.
Boehner won funding for vouchers for low-income students in the District of Columbia, one of his pet initiatives. The vouchers will allow students to pay for tuition at the school of their choice.
Mayor Vincent Gray of Washington and other Democrats opposed the measure, saying it would take away resources from the city's troubled public schools. Gray was arrested Monday as he and other D.C. council members protested the budget deal, which they contend does not give them the freedom to spend D.C. tax dollars as they see fit.

I grew up in an old, run down house out in the woods of Northern New Hampshire. It was a pleasant place, mostly. Except for the basement.
I despised that basement. The very air reeked of ages old decay and felt heavier than it should have. There was "something" in there too. The basement was in a rough L-shape, about ten feet wide, maybe two-and-a-half times that long. At one end of the "L" was a single brick missing from the wall. I always got terrified going near that hole; the whole basement was creepy, but that opening was where it was strongest.
Once, at about age eight, I went down into the basement with a flashlight, determined to see what was inside. I crept up to the hole, ignoring every screaming instinct, and pointed the light inside. There was an earthen floor continuing on for roughly another ten feet, ending at an old heavy brick and mortar wall I recognized as the foundation wall seen on the outside of my house. The house sat on a hill, with an embankment below.
I told my parents what I saw and I wish I hadn't. My step-dad got the bright idea of making it a storage room. He took a sledge and knocked out the wall. Then he knocked out a segment of the wall that led to the outside, to make another entrance.
Since then, all kinds of strange shit has been happening. Light bulbs unscrewing themselves and falling to the floor, moving furniture, noises from inside the walls. One incident frightened me in particular. I was sitting in my bedroom upstairs, when I heard this tearing sound. I looked over and the paint was ripping itself from the wall. I stood there, terrified, too scared to move or cry out as the paint tore, curling away from the wall.
The hole the paint left was in a roughly humanoid shape.
Years later, long after we moved out, I came back on leave from the military to my hometown. Just visiting the family, seeing how everyone was, you know.
I asked my Mom if we could go visit the old house. She tells me she doesn't want to. Seems that after we moved out, another family moved and lived there a couple years. Their little daughter lost her life in the basement and no details were found concerning her death. The family moved out soon after, leaving the house to fall into disarray.
That night, I went to the abandoned house. Along the way, I got two five-gallon jugs of gasoline and a book of strike-anywhere matches. The house was really far out there, and nobody lived in that rural neighborhood anymore. The driveway was cracked, the windows and roof sagging. I wrenched the decaying door open and stepped inside with a gas can under one arm.
There was a yawning hole in the middle of the living room floor.
About twelve feet wide, I carefully skirted around it and headed for the stairs. They were in poor shape, but I managed to get to my old room.
There were handprints everywhere.
I don't know if they were the work of vandals or not, but the hand-prints were white and small. They were on the floor, walls and ceiling; even on a few bits of rotting furniture. I started here.
I doused everything in gasoline, the heady smell filled my nostrils. I backed across the hallway into my sister's former room. No hand-prints, but I'm not letting a single bit of this house standing. Everything in the upper portion of the house is dripping with gasoline as I head back downstairs.
At this point, I sensed someone, or something' watching me, and I knew it was not friendly. But I was so angry at this house and whatever was in it. Sad for my childhood and the little girl, I screamed curses and threw the empty can into the hole.
I went back to get the second can and started on the kitchen. Filled the sink, poured some in the bathroom toilet, and got everything as close to the hole as I dared. After I made a good sized trail to the porch, I threw the half-empty can into the hole as well.
I lit the trail and watched that accursed house burn down.
Someone must have seen it from the highway or something because about five hours later, a fire truck came clanging down the road. But the house was so far gone they couldn't hope to save it; so much the better.
They asked me a few questions, but let me go as I told them that I was taking a drive, and came to check if anyone was in danger when I saw the fire.
No investigation into the cause of the fire was made. They bulldozed the remains and covered it with dirt, leaving only a cracked patch of asphalt where the driveway was.
I planted a bush of purple lilac on the site, and to this day, it's the most beautiful bush I've ever seen.
About a week later, I did some research at the town library about the house I lived in. Looking through the newspaper archives, it turned out a child-rapist/murderer used to live there in 1870. He'd kidnap and brutally rape and torture children in that room in the basement. It's also the same room he died in when he was found out and hunted down.
This is my story, told as complete as I care to divulge. Let this be a warning of the pollution left behind by the deeds of evil men.

Team 2 (J.S. Hoffmann): to understand how replication stress generates genomic instability
Team 2 (J.S. Hoffmann): to understand how replication stress generates genomic instability
Our understanding of human cancer and our ability to treat and prevent it depend critically on our knowledge of the mechanisms and pathways of tumor evolution. It has become apparent that genetic instability, a hallmark of cancer cells, plays a major role in the cancer process. The past decade has seen a dramatic advance in our understanding of how genomic integrity is compromised in cancer and has revealed that replicative stress (RS) in S phase, which leads to endogenous double-strand breaks (DSB) and under-replicated genomic loci, is a highly relevant mechanism, placing RS studies at the forefront of cancer research. The nature of RS essentially stands for the accumulation of recombinogenic stretches of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), which can form at processed DSB which derive from stalled replication forks. It has been established that RS induces directly chromosomal instability and the current model proposes that at least some DSBs generated at collapsed forks during replication stress are repaired in an error prone manner by end joining repair events leading to gross chromosomal rearrangement such as chromosomal translocations. In addition to these well-documented direct consequences of replication problems, the fate of under-replicated genomic loci which can enter into mitosis, be converted to complex broken DNA structures and then transmitted to G1 daughter cells, is totally undervalued. Yet, since the accurate transmission of genetic information to the next cell generation is one of the main process that guarantee the maintenance of genomic stability within a cellular clone, it is obvious that the stability of the genome might be affected by the transmission of unresolved DNA regions to the next cell generation. Therefore, the nature of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the transmission process and its impact on the next cell generation need to be deeply decoded.
The team, by exploring these issues, have ultimately opened novel research lines. We have discovered that daughter cells can modify their own replication program to better ensure replication of DNA sequences that experienced problems in the previous cell cycle. This process may explain why a cancer cellular clone could sustain efficient DNA replication and cell proliferation despite a high degree of endogenous replicative stress and unstable genome, a major question that is still unsolved. Our research lines have also revealed a novel crosstalk pathway between replication and repair of damaged DNA, a process that could equip a malignant cellular clone with an escape mechanism in presence of chemotherapeutic treatments which target DNA replication forks and exacerbate replicative stress and, hence, provoke therapeutic resistance.
Our main objectives:

Becoming governor is no easy task. You must be able to show your voters that you are someone of character, intellect and vision, and that you have enough experience to get the job done. Here are some tips to help you get there.
Get a good education. Read everything you can about issues that affect your constituency, and have a degree from a respectable university to show that you are qualified for the job.
Stay away from scandal. Don't sleep around, say controversial things that might come back to haunt you, or indulge in drug use. Things like that have a tendency to come up around election time.
Get involved in public life. Volunteer, work as an activist and be a part of neighborhood associations. Get to know people and show them that you are a part of the community.
Run for lower offices. The local school board, city council and mayor's office are all steps on your way to becoming governor.
Have an agenda. Talking about "change" or "experience" only gets you so far. Know what the problems of your state are and what you want to do about them.
Be heard. Advertise, hold question-and-answer sessions with voters, and debate your opponent. Make sure to get your agenda out there.
Take the high ground. Don't get involved in mudslinging. If you can show the voters that you are principled and dedicated to improving your state, you will win in the end.

The present invention relates generally to communication networks, and specifically to testing and fault discovery in communication networks.
Communication networks are in wide use in many technological fields including distributed computing, data exchange and telecommunication applications. Communication networks generally include many nodes, such as bridges, LAN switches, routers, cross-connections and telephone switches. The networks further include communication links, such as cables, point-to-point radio connections and optical fibers, which connect the nodes. The networks also include ports, generally within some of the nodes, for attaching external devices such as computers, terminals, handsets, and multiplexers. These external devices are referred to as end-points, or hosts.
A major issue in both newly-deployed and existing communication networks is testing and trouble-shooting, i.e., checking whether the network is operating according to its specifications and, if not, determining the cause of the network's inadequate performance (for example, the identity of a faulty unit or link). Dedicated point-to-point testing equipment is a commonly-used network testing tool. Such equipment is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,477,531, whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. Usually, dedicated point-to-point testing equipment requires two users to coordinate their operations in order to identify a misbehaving component of the network. To test a large network, the testing equipment must be moved between many ports of the network.
End-to-end tests of network response times and delays provide useful information regarding the operational status of the network. Such tests are helpful in determining that a fault or network overload has occurred. For example, in end-to-end timing testing, packets of a given size are sent from a source node to a destination node, which measures and reports the packet arrival times. In response time testing, the destination node sends a correlated echo packet back to the source, which measures and reports the round-trip time elapsed between sending the original packet and receiving the echo packet. When there is excessive delay or jitter in delivery of the packets, it is an indication that a problem exists. End-to-end tests by themselves, however, provide no further information as to the source and location of the problem within the network.
RMON (Remote Network Monitoring) is a family of standards defining information that a network administrator can use to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot a distributed network from a central site. These standards, which are an extension of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), specify the information that a network monitoring system is expected to provide. RMON first became a standard in 1992 in Request for Comments (RFC) 1271 of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It is currently specified as part of the IETF Management Information Base (MIB) in RFC 1757, entitled "Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base." More recently, RMON Version 2 (sometimes referred to as "RMON2") was specified in IETF RFC 2021. These standard documents are incorporated herein by reference.
RMON can be supported by hardware monitoring devices (known as "probes") and/or by software agents embedded in network nodes and other elements. For example, Cisco's line of LAN switches includes software in each switch that can trap information as traffic flows through the switch and record the information in its MIB. RMON specifies nine kinds of information to be collected by probes and agents, including packets sent, bytes sent, packets dropped, statistics by host and by conversation between two sets of addresses, and certain kinds of events that have occurred. RMON information groups eight and nine are based on trapping or capturing specified types of packets, to provide network alarms and enable traffic decoding and analysis. RMON probes and agents are typically controlled by a management station, using SNMP commands. These SNMP commands are described, for example, in SNMP, SNMPv2 and RMON: Practical Network Management, by William Stallings (Second Edition, Addison Wesley, 1996), which is incorporated herein by reference.
Other types of network monitoring tools are also known in the art. For example, Network Associates (Santa Clara, Calif.) offer the "Sniffer" line of network analysis products. The capabilities of these products include packet capturing, whereby filters based on pattern matching and/or Internet Protocol (IP) addresses enable selected frames to be captured and displayed. Further details regarding these products are available at www.sniffer.com. Another tool that is commonly used in diagnosing IP-based routing is TraceRoute, which is described, for example, by Huitema, in Routing in the Internet (Prentice Hall, 1995), page 45, which is incorporated herein by reference. TraceRoute is used to determine a network path that an IP packet could traverse from a specific host to reach an intended destination, and to identify possible network problems in this context. It is available as an application in most operating systems that implement IP.
TraceRoute discovers intermediate hops traversed by a packet by adjusting the "Time to Live" (TTL) parameter in each of a sequence of IP packets. It uses the fact that at each hop as the packet passes through the network, the TTL is reduced by one, and an error message is sent by a router that receives an IP packet with a zero TTL. In each packet in the sequence sent from the host, the TTL parameter is incremented by one. TraceRoute monitors the error messages sent back from the routers in the network with respect to each of the packets in turn, and thus tracks the packets downstream progressively until the ultimate destination has been reached. When multiple paths are available in the network, however (as is the case in most large IP networks), there is no assurance that all of the packets in the sequence will follow the same path. In this context, the information provided by TraceRoute is of little use in end-to-end tracking of packets or in determining packet transmission delays over different hops along the route.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,812,529, whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, describes a system and method for acquiring network performance data, built around a "mission server," which interfaces with clients to receive requests for "missions." A typical mission includes operations such as transmission and reception of data packets among devices connected to segments of the network. The mission is performed and/or supported by "sentries," typically software agents running on the network devices. The sentries carry out mission operations in response to commands from the mission server, and report back to the mission server on the mission results.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,838,919 and 5,881,237, whose disclosures are incorporated herein by reference, describe methods, systems and computer program products for testing of network performance using test scenarios that simulate actual communications traffic between network end-points. Specific test protocols are assigned to end-point nodes on the network. Typically, the nodes are paired, and one of the nodes in the pair communicates the protocol to the other, associated node. A console node sets up the test protocols, initiates their execution and receives data on the test performance from the end-point nodes.
It is an object of some aspects of the present invention to provide improved methods and apparatus for locating faults within communication networks.
It is another object of some aspects of the present invention to provide improved methods and apparatus for evaluation of the performance of communication networks.
In preferred embodiments of the present invention, a distributed testing system for evaluation and/or testing of a communication network comprises a plurality of capture-capable network agents (CCNAs), which are coupled to the network at different, respective locations and are controlled by a testing center. The CCNAs intercept packets meeting a filtering criterion that is specified by the testing center, and report to the testing center on the arrival of the specified packets. In intercepting the packets, the CCNAs preferably copy the packets "on the fly," without stopping or delaying the packets. By collecting reports from multiple CCNAs that intercept a given packet passing through the network from one end-point to another, the testing center is able to analyze details of the route and timing of the packet within the network, over multiple links and nodes simultaneously. It thus overcomes a shortcoming of network diagnostic systems known in the art, which are largely limited to determining end-to-end information regarding packet transmission.
Preferably, the CCNAs comprise software agents associated with an existing piece of network equipment, such as a switch or router. Alternatively or additionally, CCNAs may comprise stand-alone probes. In either case, the CCNAs typically comprise standard elements, such as RMON agents or probes, which already exist in many networks. The present invention takes advantage of the capabilities of such elements to identify and capture packets meeting the filtering criterion, for example, having a specified bit pattern, address and/or protocol. The CCNAs are directed by the testing center, in accordance with a selected test scenario, to perform functions such as storing all or a part of the specified packets and recording their times of arrival, as well as processing the timing or other information and passing it back to the testing center. While these CCNA functions are within the capabilities of standard, existing agents and probes, the testing center controls the CCNAs and processes the information that they provide in a novel fashion, so as to provide network diagnostic information that is not offered by systems known in the art.
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the testing system comprises one or more traffic agents coupled to nodes and/or hosts of the network. The traffic agents act as artificial users of the network by establishing connections and transmitting and receiving packets of data. The testing center instructs one of the traffic agents to send a sequence of packets with a specified identifying feature through the network to a destination agent or host. The testing center instructs the CCNAs to intercept each packet with this feature and to report its times of arrival. Preferably, the destination agent or host echoes the packets back to the original traffic agent, and the CCNAs are instructed to intercept and report on the echoed packets, as well. The testing center processes the information received from each of the CCNAs to determine the exact route of each of the packets through the network and the time elapsed in each link along the route. The route and timing data are preferably used to find specific nodes or links that had slow response and/or high jitter, thus indicating the likely location of network problems.
There is therefore provided, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for testing of a communication network having a plurality of end-points, using one or more network agents coupled to the network at respective locations, the method including:
Preferably, specifying the at least one packet filtering criterion includes specifying a pattern of data to appear in the one or more packets to be transmitted. Additionally or alternatively, specifying the at least one packet filtering criterion includes specifying information associated with a data protocol in accordance with which the packets are to be transmitted. Preferably, specifying the information associated with the data protocol includes specifying a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) sequence number to be assigned to the one or more packets to be transmitted, wherein the TCP sequence number most preferably includes an acknowledgment sequence number.
Preferably, the plurality of end-points includes a source end-point and a destination end-point, and transmitting the one or more data packets includes transmitting original packets from the source end-point to the destination end-point, and receiving echo packets returned from the destination end-point, both the original and the echo packets meeting the at least one criterion.
In a preferred embodiment, the network agents include Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) elements, in accordance with one or more applicable standards defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Preferably, the network agents include software processes running on nodes of the network at the respective locations. Alternatively or additionally, the network agents include stand-alone probes.
Preferably, recording the information includes recording times of arrival of the at least one intercepted packet at the respective locations, wherein processing the recorded information includes determining, responsive to the times of arrival, transit times of the at least one intercepted packet over network links connected to the respective locations and traversed by the at least one intercepted packet. Most preferably, intercepting the at least one of the data packets includes intercepting multiple data packets, and wherein determining the transit times includes detecting a jitter in transit of the packets over one of the links.
Additionally or alternatively, the plurality of end-points includes a source end-point and a destination end-point, wherein transmitting the one or more data packets includes transmitting original packets from the source end-point to the destination end-point, and receiving corresponding echo packets returned from the destination end-point, both the original and the echo packets meeting the criterion, and wherein determining the transit times includes determining round-trip transit times by intercepting both the original packets and the corresponding echo packets. Most preferably, transmitting the original packets includes transmitting a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) initialization packet having a first, specified TCP sequence number, and receiving the echo packets includes receiving a TCP connection acknowledgment packet having a second TCP sequence number, which is determined responsive to the first TCP sequence number.
In a preferred embodiment, processing the recorded information includes determining which of a plurality of links in the network were traversed by the at least one intercepted packet.
There is also provided, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, apparatus for testing of a communication network having a plurality of endpoints and nodes connected by links, including:
Preferably, the apparatus includes at least one traffic agent, which is configured to receive instructions from the testing center and, responsive thereto, to transmit the packets meeting the criterion from the one of the end-points to the other.
There is further provided, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a computer software product for testing of a communication network having a plurality of end-points, using one or more network agents coupled to the network at respective locations, the product including a computer-readable medium in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to specify a packet filtering criterion and to engender transmission of one or more data packets meeting the criterion through the network from one of the end-points to another, such that at least one of the data packets meeting the criterion is intercepted using the network agents at the respective locations in the network traversed by the packets, which agents record information regarding the at least one intercepted packet at the respective locations, and which instructions further cause the computer to receive and process the recorded information so as to analyze a route of the at least one intercepted packet through the network.
The present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof, taken together with the drawings in which:
Testing system 20 comprises one or more end-point traffic agents 24, 26, which are coupled to ports of network 22. Typically, multiple host computers, such as a host 28, are also connected to and make use of the network. Preferably, the traffic agents serve as both traffic generators, transmitting packets through the network, and as traffic analyzers, receiving packets and assembling information regarding the received packets, as described in detail hereinbelow. Traffic agents 24 and 26 are typically implemented as software processes running on host computers connected to the network. Alternatively, some or all of these hosts may comprise add-on hardware devices to accommodate the traffic agents, particularly when network 22 is a very fast network, such as an ATM or a Gigabit Ethernet network. Further alternatively or additionally, the traffic agents may be implemented as stand-alone devices, independent of host computers. Although only two traffic agents are shown in
Testing system 20 also comprises capture-capable network agents (CCNAs) 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 (also referred to herein simply as network agents, and marked "NA" for short in
When one of the CCNAs intercepts a packet of the specified type, it preferably records the time of interception and, optionally, stores all or a specified portion or characteristic of the packet. Typically, in a given test scenario, a CCNA intercepts multiple packets of the specified type or types. In this case, the CCNA may store all of the packets or portions thereof, or alternatively, it may record only certain parameters or a combination of parameters, such as the numbers and times of arrivals of the packets, the sizes of the packets, or the values of certain fields in the packets. Most preferably, the CCNA also processes the information that it collects in the course of a test and provides a summary.
Preferably, the CCNAs comprise RMON agents or probes, as specified by the above-mentioned IETF standards. Alternatively or additionally, the CCNAs may comprise other types of network traffic analyzers known in the art, such as the above-mentioned "Sniffer" analyzers. Further alternatively, the CCNAs may comprise dedicated devices or software agents for carrying out the test methods described hereinbelow. Substantially any type of network agent or probe may be used in the context of the present invention, so long as it has the requisite packet interception and reporting capabilities. Although
System 20 further includes a testing center 42, which is preferably implemented as a software process executed at a network management host. The host of testing center 42 preferably comprises a graphical workstation or a personal computer. The software for the testing center, as well as software for carrying out the functions of the traffic agents and CCNAs, is typically conveyed to the respective computers via network 22. Alternatively, the software may be supplied on tangible media, such as CD-ROM or non-volatile memory, for installation on the respective computers. Preferably, testing center 42 communicates through network 22 with traffic agents 24 and 26, as well as with CCNAs 32–40. Alternatively or additionally, different communication apparatus, independent of network 22, such as modem dialup lines or Internet connections, are used to communicate with some or all of the traffic agents and/or CCNAs.
Testing center 42 preferably conducts tests by transmitting one or more commands to at least one of the traffic agents and CCNAs, and subsequently receiving reports from the agents. Preferably, testing center 42 processes the reports, evaluates network 22 based on the reports and displays test results to a network operator. The tests may be initiated by the operator, or they may be carried out automatically by the testing center on a predetermined schedule or when a fault condition is suspected. When the tests are carried out automatically, and a fault condition is detected, the testing center preferably generates an alarm, so as to notify the operator that a fault has occurred. Further aspects of testing system 20 are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/164,488, and in another U.S. patent application entitled, "Analysis of Network Performance," filed Apr. 24, 2000. Both of these applications are assigned to the assignee of the present patent application, and their disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.
At an initialization step 50, testing center 42 instructs traffic agent 24 to send packets to traffic agent 26 having a certain, specified bit pattern. Traffic agent 26 is instructed to respond by returning echo packets with the same specified bit pattern, or with another specified bit pattern, back to traffic agent 24. Each packet is also preferably identified by a packet serial number, used by both of the traffic agents, in order to associate each packet returned by traffic agent 26 with the original packet from traffic agent 24 that it is echoing. At a CCNA notification step 52, testing center 42 informs the CCNAs of the bit pattern that is to be included in the packets sent by traffic agents 24 and 26. The CCNAs are instructed to intercept all packets having the specified bit pattern or patterns, and to record their respective times of arrival. At a packet capture step 54, the test agents begin transmitting packets, and the CCNAs intercept them as instructed. A typical record of an intercepted packet is shown by way of example in Table I:
agent 24
agent 26
Echo packet
Round trip
At the conclusion of the test or a portion thereof, typically after a certain, specified number of packets have been transmitted and recorded, the traffic agents and CCNA report the test results to testing center 42, at a test reporting step 56. The reported results may comprise raw results, as shown in the table above, or alternatively or additionally, the test agents and CCNAs may provide a summary report and representative statistics. The testing center then analyzes the results, at a link analysis step 58, to find links or subnets in network 22 that may be faulty.
In the specific example of Table I, traffic agent 24 reports that the packet round-trip time to traffic agent 26 is 200 ms. (The time required for agent 26 to respond has been neglected for simplicity.) CCNA 36 reports a 20 ms delay in receiving the packet from traffic agent 24. CCNA 34 reports a 70 ms delay, and traffic agent 26 reports a 10 ms delay. Testing center 42 concludes that the fault responsible for the slow response in transmissions between traffic agent 24 and 26 is in the link between CCNAs 34 and 36.
In actual networks, the times of arrival and transmission of the packets will not be as orderly as those shown in Table I. In large, distributed networks, such as the Internet, for example, the clocks operating at the different nodes 30 are not generally synchronized. Therefore, the packet interception times read by the different CCNAs cannot be directly compared with one another, and it is not possible to measure transmission delays accurately in a one-way transmission of a packet. For this reason, the round-trip travel time shown in the last row of the table is useful, as it inherently cancels out the effect of the lack of clock synchronization. The round-trip time shown in each column gives the exact round-trip time of the packet between the respective CCNA and traffic agent 26, referred only to the respective clock of the CCNA. The individual link times can then be determined by simple arithmetic.
Another aspect of actual networks not shown by Table I is packet-to-packet jitter, wherein the transit times of successive packets over a given link typically vary. Furthermore, in many networks, such as Internet Protocol (IP) networks, successive packets between the same end-points may be sent over different routes, through different nodes. A summary of the results of the test shown in
Still another feature of testing network 22 using the method of
For example, in some protocols, such as the Transport Control Protocol (TCP), every packet carries a protocol sequence number, which is initialized to an arbitrary value by the host initiating a communication. The sequence number acknowledged by the echo packet is given simply by incrementing the number of the original packet by one. Thus, at a sequence number setting step 62, traffic agent 24 is instructed to send packets to host 28 with certain TCP sequence numbers. Each packet will be echoed by the host with a TCP acknowledgment sequence number incremented by one. The testing center instructs the CCNAs to intercept the packets having the appropriate, predetermined TCP sequence numbers in the appropriate header fields. Other packet features may be used as additional filtering parameters if desired. The CCNAs intercept the packets by their sequence numbers at a packet capture step 64. A reporting step 66 and an analyzing step 68 are then carried out in similar fashion to their counterparts in
While preferred embodiments are described herein for the most part with reference to tests involving transmission of packets between a pair of network end-points, the principles of the present invention can also be applied in more complex test scenarios. For example, multiple traffic agents may send packets simultaneously or sequentially, so as to put pressure on a particular network link. As another example, the CCNAs may be configured to intercept packets having a known pattern that is generated by a particular application, in which case no dedicated traffic agents are required. All such variations are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
It will thus be appreciated that the preferred embodiments described above are cited by way of example, and that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather, the scope of the present invention includes both combinations and subcombinations of the various features described hereinabove, as well as variations and modifications thereof which would occur to persons skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description and which are not disclosed in the prior art.

Can you believe this Sunday is Christmas? This year has flown by so fast! This has been a very productive (and successful) year for me and I only hope that 2012 will be even better. I had a book signing last week at the local Starbucks, and it was a complete sellout! I sold all 25 copies! Thank you to those who came out and showed your support! I am still very overwhelmed by the experience! I will be returning again on New Year's Eve and bringing 50 copies with me.

Something wicked this way comes. It's Harry's third year at Hogwarts; not only does he have a new "Defense Against the Dark Arts" teacher, but there is also trouble brewing. Convicted murderer Sirius Black has escaped the Wizards' Prison and is coming after Harry. In the summer before his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter becomes fed up with his horrible aunt and uncle, and after accidentally inflating his visiting aunt Marge, he runs away. Unfortunately, there's much more danger in the wizarding world than harry thought; convicted mass murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped from the wizarding prison Azkaban. Black is known as Lord Voldemort's most devoted follower, and he's after Harry to avenge Voldemort and finish the job. But not everything is what it seems, and inside of Hogwarts there may just be a traitor…

Light After Darkness
Gain Control
A series of events that are so random
Pushing all our buttons
Wheels in motion
Must stay in motion
Relying on all our past experiences
To guide us further
In a place where we may find the answers
Encouraging an inner power
That can not be touched or seen
Blocking out any and all distractions
Encouraging the sweetness of beauty
Picking up dead ends and reworking different combinations
Like those of a master safe cracker
So talented and skilled
Each time uneasy and challenged
Seeking the art of perfection
In a world of conformity and weakness
Searching for the peak of ripeness
In an ordinary piece of fruit
Making it excel in passion
To drive my energy to new heights
Swallowing old boundaries
Like a Black Hole
Leaving nothing behind
Looking for the uniqueness
That is hidden deep inside
Every person that walks a straight line
Given the opportunity 'now', opens the door to success and satisfies living with joy.
Voted useful and interesting .
What smooth flow of words and thoughts. Meaningful too!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I had just picked up some donuts and the bag slipped off the bed spread on the passenger seat. When I grab it I turned the wheel and hit a parked car . I was approach by some people and one called the police. I called a tow truck and waited there for the police and tow truck. Than I called a friend to pick me up. The tow truck came and before he was finished I left my info on the car I hit. What I left was my name, address, phone number, Insurance company name,policy # and phone number. I was on my way to pick up the rest of my belongings in Vegas when my son called me to tell me the police where going to charge me with leaving the scene of a accident
In California you are required by the vehicle code to do certain things when involved in an accident. For a Non-injury collision, these are embodied in Vehicle Code Section 20002 which reads in relevant part:
20002. (a) The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident
resulting only in damage to any property, including vehicles, shall
immediately stop the vehicle at the nearest location that will not
impede traffic or otherwise jeopardize the safety of other motorists.
Moving the vehicle in accordance with this subdivision does not
affect the question of fault. The driver shall also immediately do
either of the following:
(1) Locate and notify the owner or person in charge of that
property of the name and address of the driver and owner of the
vehicle involved and, upon locating the driver of any other vehicle
involved or the owner or person in charge of any damaged property,
upon being requested, present his or her driver's license, and
vehicle registration, to the other driver, property owner, or person
in charge of that property. The information presented shall include
the current residence address of the driver and of the registered
owner. If the registered owner of an involved vehicle is present at
the scene, he or she shall also, upon request, present his or her
driver's license information, if available, or other valid
identification to the other involved parties.
(2) Leave in a conspicuous place on the vehicle or other property
damaged a written notice giving the name and address of the driver
and of the owner of the vehicle involved and a statement of the
circumstances thereof and shall without unnecessary delay notify the
police department of the city wherein the collision occurred or, if
the collision occurred in unincorporated territory, the local
headquarters of the Department of the California Highway Patrol.
From your description its sounds as if you have substantially complied with the law. Unless there are some other facts that you have omitted you are likely not going to be charged with hit and run.
You should however consult with an attorney who can make contact with the reporting agency. Remember any statement you make to the police over the telephone or otherwise can be used against you.Ask a similar question
The other answer is exactly correct. You appear to have done what is required under the law. Maybe the police does not know you left your contact information so make sure that they know that.Ask a similar question

Corn Ends Higher Despite Worries About China
Country Rejects Some U.S. Shipments Containing an Unapproved Genetically Modified Strain
U.S. corn futures edged higher, recovering from early losses driven by concerns that demand from China, a key buyer of U.S. grain, is cooling.
Corn futures traded lower for most of Friday's session, as traders worried that recent moves by China to reject U.S. supplies containing an unapproved genetically modified strain could herald a period of lower exports to the Asian nation.

P83 billion unused for coconut-industry poverty alleviation
17 November 2014
It could be another case, as worse as its lead-footed release of funds for Yolanda-devastated areas, of the Aquino Administration's criminal inefficiency and sluggishness in undertaking real reform programs. Or there may be a worse explanation.
Since September 2012 – two years ago – the Supreme Court finally ended nearly two decades of litigation and ruled that the P82.8 billion that originated from the so-called coco-levy imposed during the 1970s by the strongman Marcos were absolutely government funds that could be used only for the coconut industry.

Charles Kaiser of the Columbia Journalism Review explains why despite this reporting, the use of military experts remains unchanged, a true SNAFU. Transcript BOB GARFIELD:Last spring, when New York Times reporter David Barstow wrote about the ubiquity on TV news of military experts with ties to the Pentagon and military contractors, he might have thought that exposing these conflicts of interest might possibly – end them? But nothing has changed nor has there been any on-air acknowledgement by the networks of a problem. [CLIP] BRIAN WILLIAMS:General, every time you come back from one of your trips, we get a three-ring binder containing your findings; that is to say, you've covered it so closely and analyzed it. How do you see the future of Iraq? GENERAL BARRY McCAFFREY:Well, objectively, the snapshot is extremely good. I mean, the violence is - [END CLIP] BOB GARFIELD:That's retired Four-Star Army General Barry McCaffrey, still a paid expert on NBC News with Brian Williams. On November 29th, The Times printed a 5,000-word followup by Barstow, focusing on McCaffrey. Among other things, Barstow reported that the general had used his TV pulpit to advocate continuing the war in Iraq, a position he stood to profit from because of his stake in a private contractor.Charles Kaiser has been writing about the McCaffrey affair for The Columbia Journalism Review. Charlie, welcome back to the show. CHARLES KAISER:Thank you, nice to be here. BOB GARFIELD:Now Barstow, in his piece, did go to McCaffrey, and McCaffrey's defense – and I hope I'm doing him justice here – is that he was an early and frequent critic of U.S. war policy, at least in the beginning, and particularly of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's approach to the war, and that if he criticized the war, you know, ipso facto, he couldn't have been in the pocket of the Pentagon or its contractors. Does that cut ice with you? CHARLES KAISER:Well no, because it's really two different questions there. Is he in the pocket of the Pentagon or is he in the pocket of the contractors? NBC has, in its only very narrow defense of using him, has focused entirely on the fact that he was a critic of Rumsfeld's. He wasn't a critic, I don't think, of our involvement there. He was a critic of the way Rumsfeld was waging the war, as was almost every other sensible person around. BOB GARFIELD:In Barstow's piece, he suggests that after McCaffrey's early criticism of Rumsfeld and the way he was waging the war, they cut him off to access to top brass, and then he kind of came around to their way of thinking and got his access back. Why was that access important to McCaffrey? CHARLES KAISER:Well, two reasons, as Barstow's piece makes clear. First of all, just by having this access, you get to know what kind of military equipment and what kind of consulting services the Pentagon is looking for at that particular moment.Second of all, it gives you a chance to directly lobby individual officers about the value of the equipment McCaffrey was trying to get the Iraqis to buy. BOB GARFIELD:Now, the answer you just gave me essentially assumes that McCaffrey was a pig at the trough and that he was using his credential as an NBC commentator to get access with which to advance his personal financial interests. But let's just say he behaved in a way that was above reproach and that he never abused the privilege of access with Pentagon brass for his own personal gain, okay? Is that itself a sufficient reason for NBC to use him as an independent commentator, especially without disclosure? CHARLES KAISER:No. Any sensible news executive who is aware of all of these conflicts, or just potential conflicts, would automatically decide this is not someone I want on my air. And that is the opposite of what NBC News has done up to and including ten days ago, when McCaffrey made his most recent appearance on NBC Nightly News, I think, talking about Afghanistan. BOB GARFIELD:And here's where you enter into the fray. Tell me about what the network has said to you and others, with respect to the McCaffrey story. CHARLES KAISER:They told Barstow, we have clear policies in place to assure that the people who appear on our air have been appropriately vetted and that nothing in their profile would lead to even a perception of a conflict of interest.Now, months go by. Barstow comes back, does the story again about McCaffrey, and the Society for the Professional Journalists very sensibly decides, on the basis of what they've read twice in The New York Times, that they should call upon NBC to stop using McCaffrey. BOB GARFIELD:But NBC, instead, I guess, kind of attacked the Society of Professional Journalists for depending on the Times story as the sole basis for its complaint. CHARLES KAISER:Yeah, and they actually accused the Ethics Committee of coming to its conclusion without, quote, "seeking any information or facts from NBC News." And I reported that statement, which NBC gave me yesterday, only to find out that, in fact, SPJ did go to NBC before [LAUGHS] making any statement. [BOB LAUGHS] They did ask for [LAUGHS] NBC's opinion, and NBC ignored two emails and two phone calls requesting their comment. BOB GARFIELD:There is, on the NBC News website under, I guess, the biography of General McCaffrey, some listing of his board memberships but not necessarily his client list at his consulting firm. CHARLES KAISER:No, they haven't even done that much. What they've done is they have a link on the NBC site to McCaffrey's site. [BOB LAUGHS] And they said to Barstow, since we have a link to his site and since his site lists all of his clients, we've disclosed this. However, Barstow [LAUGHS], making the elementary move of going to McCaffrey's site, discovered that, in fact, he does not list his clients on his own site. BOB GARFIELD:Now, you've been hammering this day by day in your blog. What's your latest from NBC? CHARLES KAISER:The latest statement I got back from NBC was they hadn't actually lied to me yesterday when they attacked SPJ for not contacting them in advance because, in their view, SPJ had already made up their mind when they got contacted, and therefore there was no point in NBC responding in any way. BOB GARFIELD:Ah-ha. [LAUGHS] [CHARLES KAISER LAUGHS]]An air-tight case. Charlie, thank you very much. CHARLES KAISER:Thanks a lot. BOB GARFIELD:Charlie Kaiser writes the Full Court Press blog for The Columbia Journalism Review. That's CJR.org.We called NBC News and it said it stood by its statement that the Society of Professional Journalists had, quote, "rushed to judgment" in a way NBC found, quote, "unfortunate and irresponsible." We also called General McCaffrey, whose spokesman said The New York Times piece was, quote, "largely innuendo," and that, quote, "the reporter seemed bent on an agenda." He added that the general is motivated by improving our national security wherever he has served in the public or private sectors.
