			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah OK i lied - THEY didn't fix it :/ Well at least i didn't want to lie, i just hoped for the good :) As it turns out my everyday life is still connected with JTAC and looking for MAC addresses that our EX4200 decides not to learn. (or for whatever reason discards them just after being learned). I can not say we have a progress in our problem although lots of things happened that made me think that things are going better now. In the mean time Juniper decided that our switch had a hardware defect and we send us a new one. That sounded great and we have removed the old one, rebuild the virtual chassis with the member and hoped for the good. Nothing more misleading - the situation is exactly the same :( Well now our last hope is the new Service Releases of JUNOS that is supposed to be out in the middle of April, i am looking forward to that date so we can move on with different things and stop dealing with MAC addresses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those things happened closely at the same time and they are all for good ! First thanks to some good people Linux gets a native game <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_goo">World of Goo</a>. BIG Thanks to two ex - EA employees who BTW. had spent their entire savings to develop the game. I only wish those guys will get their savings back, it might be hard since <a href="http://2dboy.com/2008/11/13/90/">90% of Windows users</a> who play that game have STOLEN IT!!! So far i only heard about World of Goo but didint have time to try it personally, but now when a native linux port is available i will give a shot for sure!!!</p>
<p>Second i got rid of <a href="http://dd-wrt.com">DD-WRT</a>, and become a happy <a href="http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato">Tomato</a> user. One evening i decided to give it a try and i will never come back,  and I got good reasons for it. First with Tomato my net is 40 % faster, second QoS really works, third i found <a href="http://www.bitsum.com/about-ddwrt.htm">that</a>, do some research and its actually true. DD-WRT uses some crippled drivers both for wireless NIC and Ethernet ports. Since i got Tomato my ping to my provider lowered with 0,4 ms !!! My router is always accessible through SSH and WEB, so far it never froze! (dd-wrt used to freeze 2-3 times a week!!!).</p>
<p>And the last one from good things is that they (JTAC), finally admitted and i hope fixed our problem. In November we got 2 Junipers EX4200, and since then we understood that we have just become a part of Juniper beta testers team and that we better get familiar with JTAC and how to manage a support case there. Our problem was that sometimes somehow and somewhere (totaly random times and places), the switch would refuse to learn certain MACs or it would not forward traffic between them. The last secure meeting (one of 1000 we had in the past 2 moths) revealed a problem - The Engineer who was looking at our switch discovered that PFE had two modes of MAC learning enabled - Packet Transfer and Message Mode. They were working concurrently in the ASIC and conflicting each other. After disabling the 1st one the situation seems to be stabilized, and i hope that was causing our troubles. The annoying this is that it took us more than 2 months to dig through their bureaucracy in order to reach an engineer...</p>
