Looks like the same with some of the course papers (Pentchev looked at one and asked me &#8220;How many points should I write for something that&#8217;s a translation\/copy of the marketing data of 4 products?&#8221;).<br \/>\nLooking at the result I&#8217;m thinking that part of this is the students&#8217; fault, but a part of this is our fault&#8230; I&#8217;m thinking not to give any more lectures the next semester and to concentrate on something more useful (about it &#8211; some other time).<\/p>\n<p>Something more interesting &#8211; I started working on the problem &#8220;What if we have 5 separate remote points, and we want to have one multi-point VPN, which they can use for communication?&#8221;. One solution (that we utilize right now) is to have a point-to-point tunnel between every two that need to communicate, which is extremely ugly to support. Another one is to chose one for a hub, which we can&#8217;t do because 1) it becomes SPOF, and 2) we don&#8217;t have a place with that much bandwidth.<br \/>\nIn the end it turned out that there&#8217;s a normal solution &#8211; WanDaemon, or to be more specific &#8211; Etud, ethernet over UDP daemon, which is exactly what&#8217;s needed. Turned out that it even compiles and works under FreeBSD, what&#8217;s left is to write some scripts for pushing configurations (addressing, routing, etc.) on the machines (I&#8217;m not going to run dynamic routing, Voland promised to shoot me if I try :) ).<\/p>\n<p>Also it should be noted that the behaviour of the country around Bush&#8217;s visit is like the one from 50-60 years ago towards the Soviet Union&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why when I always remember to blog, it has to be for more than one thing?
