Re: network up time
I agree with battleop.. This sounds quite shady. Have you made sure he isn't using this link to hack or issue denial of service attacks? Check his traffic. I ask because of this:
said by GTOV8  :He says when he gets a packet drop the VPN connections and ssh connections all break and he has to do all the 30 screens all over again. Obviously fabricated.. Unless the SSH daemon that he's connected to is badly configured, SSH is an incredibly resilient protocol. You can work on a remote host via SSH even when its dropping 10%+. You can even SSH to a remote host, reboot your router, and then resume typing in the same SSH session once the router is back up. Also I have openvpn connections that have been up for months on links that are far from perfect.
If he's not abusing your bandwidth, I'd tell him that if he gives you a specific outline of exactly what he's looking for, then you'll see if you can come up with a solution. It may be a point to point link, or you may even need to colocate his "monitoring server". |
