I'm talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service. With streaming stackoverflow podcasts and downloading the lastest updates to ubuntu, I would like to have QoS working so I can use stackoverflow without my http connections timing out or taking forever. I'm using an iConnect 624 ADSL modem which has QoS built-in but I ca...
I heard that if you use port 443 (the port usually used for https) for ssh, the encrypted packets look the same to your isp. Could this be a way to avoid traffic shaping/throttling? ...
I want a recommendation on an ISP which has Subversion installed so I can get a repository started. So far I found out discount.asp doesn't have that on their servers and will not support it. So I'm looking for a recommendation ...
How to know who is my ISP provider? Is it possible to use php to track it? EDIT: if i use : gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); it returns my ip address, not my host name... ...
I am getting extremely slow load times and before any action is taken I was wondering if there was an easy way to test to see if it is because of the ISP or the coding of the site. We currently have a T1 going to two mirrored servers, so I don't think the ISP is the issues, we only have a few users on at a time. The website is: http://...
Caching can be used to reduce the access overhead. Hierarchical caching takes the advantage of the topology of the Internet and deploys the cache at different ISPs. Suppose the hierarchical topology of the Internet is composed of three-level ISPs, national, regional and local. The hit ratios of searching a webpage at different level of t...
We recently attempted to add ip address validation to our website's login security. So in addition to having a cookie with valid credentials, we checked that your ip address on page request matched the one you initially signed in with. The idea was that if your cookie is stolen, a different user cannot impersonate you unless they actua...

I'm working on a signup form for an ISP, and they'd like to be able to check for domain name availability during the signup process. It seems like there's a lot of variation in whois results from the different top level domains Not found: sdfasdfasdfsdf...
I have a client with a windows computer on a yacht. It has up to 1-3 working internet connections depending on where the boat is. One connection is via a satellite link (the most reliable, but slowest at 256kbits/sec), another is a dedicated cell phone link (~1Mbit/sec on a good day in a good location), and the 3rd is a wifi connection i...
If I modify the source ip address of all outgoing ip packets from my network to an ip address belonging to someone else (while ensuring that the checksum is correct) then what will happen. Assume that I have a public IP address connected by a point-to-point link to an ISP. Will the ISP check that the IP address in my IP packets is corre...
hi guys, I have changed the DNS for my domain. what code (or header) should I use in my old server to tell the visitor's browser or ISP that it should check for my new DNS and the current content is old? is the temp redirecting to a subdomain should help? or you know a better way? ...
I'm trying to put online a staging area for an upcoming website... I'd usually rather use an htaccess rule to enable only me and my client to see the website...i think is safer and you dont need to rememebr passwords and so... but my client this time has an internet provider who doesnt give him a static ip, aparently everyday or so, his...
