How filter rules are processed

When processing a chain, rules are taken from the chain in the order they are listed there from top to bottom. If a packet matches the criteria of the rule, then the specified action is performed on it, and no more rules are processed in that chain (the exception is the passthrough action).

If a packet has not matched any rule within the chain, then it is accepted.

Action:log
add a message to the system log containing following data: in-interface, out-interface, src-mac, protocol, src-ip:port->dst-ip:port and length of the packet. After packet is matched it is passed to next rule in the list, similar as passthrough

Acction:passthrough
ignore this rule and go to next one (useful for statistics).

Memilih asuransi kesehatan (Indonesian)

Apakah cakupan tersebut meliputi layanan rawat jalan dan rawat inap?
Adakah penyakit tertentu yang tidak dijamin perusahaan asuransi?
Apakah Anda dapat memilih dokter atau rumah sakit yang dikehendaki ataukah terbatas pada rumah sakit yang telah ditunjuk?

mereka yang ikut program asuransi dalam usia muda akan mendapat beberapa kemudahan, misalnya, tidak diperlukan pemeriksaan kesehatan

Sistem Reimburse:
kita harus membayar dulu biaya rumah sakit dengan uang kita, kemudian kita tagihkan kepada perusahaan asuransi dengan melampirkan kwitansi pembayaran dari rumah sakit.

Sistem Cashless:
kita menunjukkan kartu dari asuransi dan kasir rumah sakit akan menghubungi perusahaan asuransi. Tapi biasanya preminya sedikit lebih mahal dari sistem reimburse

Sistem Santunan:
asuransi akan memberikan santunan harian selama Anda dirawat. Contohnya Anda mengambil asuransi dengan santunan perhari Rp.500.000,- maka jika Anda dirawat selama 5 hari, Anda akan dapatkan dana santunan sebesar Rp.500.000,- X 5 hari = Rp.2.500.000,- tanpa melihat berapa tagihan rumah sakit. Nah, sistem santunan ini yang preminya paling murah.

Cable: Cat5e or Cat6 ?

At present there is still some discussion whether new installations of cable should use Cat5e or Cat6. It is often incorrectly assumed that if Cat6 is run then the ability for a Gigabit Ethernet is available. In truth to attain a true Gigabit Ethernet speed, then all components of the network have to be rated for gigabit. Items such as switches, network interface cards and hubs also need to be gigabit rated. That doesn’t mean that there is no difference from Cat5e and Cat6; the difference between these two is in the transmission capabilities. Where it is known that Cat5e can support gigabit speed, Cat6 is actually certified to manage Gigabit Ethernet.

Also, the specifications on Cat6 is better suited for the environment that is usually filled with twisted pairing cables and areas that you generally find with lots of items that cause interference, such as electrical rooms, phone equipment rooms, power lines and lights. For most applications you will find that Cat5e is still acceptable and even preferable to Cat6 because it is less costly and still performs nearly as well. If however you know for sure that all of the components of your network are gigabit rated and the amount of data that will be transmitted will require that you have certified gigabit capabilities, then Cat6 would be the preferred choice.

Gigabit Ethernet: Dude, Where's My Bandwidth?

If you want to utilize the full bandwidth, you need to invest into hardware, which is able to handle it.

Anonymous 27/06/2009 05:31
If your switch supports it, you can send jumbo frames. You would also have to change the MTU and RWIN the corresponding workstations (if running windows).

From other sources:
Default Gigabit Ethernet has an impressive number of frames (about 81000 per second) possible and a high throughput for actual data (about 118 MB/s). By increasing the MTU to 9000 we could deliver even more data on the same bandwidth, up to 123 MB/s, thanks to the decreased amount of overhead due to a lower number of frames. Jumbo Frames could use the whole of 99% of Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth to carry our data.

Acceptable/normal rate of page fault?

You need to understand that page faults are NORMAL.

There are two kinds; hard and soft. Soft is reload from RAM and hard is reload from hard drive [virtual memory or program reload].

Last I remember about perfmon it only gave page faults per second but did not differenciate between hard and soft page faults.

Here is a break down on the counters

Memory/page faults/sec is both hard and soft. Don't use this counter

Memory/Pages Reads/sec and Memory/Pages Input/sec deal with hard faults so use these to monitor.

Poorly written applications [includes ms apps] are the biggest contributor to page faults. End task on apps to see which is causing your page faults.

Source:
Win Server 2003 Page Faults
www.computing.net/answers/windows-2003/win-server-2003-page-faults/6478.html
---
when investigating page fault issues, it is important to understand whether the page faults are hard faults or soft faults. The page fault counters in Performance Monitor do not distinguish between hard and soft faults
o track paging, you should use the following counters: Memory\ Page Faults /sec, Memory\ Cache Faults /sec and Memory\ Page Reads /sec.
If you have a high rate of page faults combined with a high rate of page reads (which also show up in the Disk counters) then you may have an issue where you have insufficient RAM given the high rate of hard faults.

ATTENTION:
AWE is not available on all versions of SQL Server 2000. For example, AWE is not available for MSDE, SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
source:
FIX: Not all memory is available when AWE is enabled on a computer that is running a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2000 SP4
Similar info:
SQL Server 2000 "Standard  Edition" is limited to 2GB of RAM, this has nothing to do with the /3GB switch.  To use more than 2GBs, you must be running "Enterprise Edition"
source: SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Memory limit with 3GB Switch

To use Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) memory, you must run the SQL Server 2000 database engine under a Windows account that has been assigned the Windows lock pages in memory administrative credentials.
Related article:
You may not be able to connect to a SQL Server that is running on a Windows Server 2003 computer by using Windows authentication

Look for word: SeLockMemoryPrivilege
The local System account has the 'lock pages in memory' privilege by default.
www.go4answers.com/Example/enable-awe-sql-account-local-system-37743.aspx

Normally, both the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition can use up to 2 GB of physical memory. With the use of the AWE enable option, SQL Server can use up to 4 GB of physical memory.

The maximum amount of memory that can be supported on Windows Server 2003 is 4 GB. However, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition supports 32 GB of physical RAM. Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition supports 64 GB of physical RAM by using the Physical Address Extensions (PAE) feature. You can use the 3 GB switch that is in the Boot.ini file with Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, or with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition.

How to tell if PAE is enabled?

A processes' VAS in 32bit windows is 4GB in size

if there isn't enough physical memory space available for the OS to store all the committed memory for all applications running on the machine, this is where the page/swap file comes in

Use of the /3GB and /USERVA switches does NOT depend on using /PAE or AWE - you do NOT need /PAE enabled to use these switches, and you don't need AWE enabled either - these options are mutually exclusive. You can use either of these switches on servers with less than 4gb style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">PAE in a nutshell allows the OS to see more than 4GB of physical memory - remember above in the memory architecture

Adding the PAE switch has NO effect whatsoever on the VAS size in a 32bit system - it remains at 4GB in total

what enabling PAE would in effect do for a system (assuming more than 4GB of memory exists before and after the change that is) would be to allow the OS more physical memory space for storing data instead of having to page this data to disk

AWE is basically a set of system API's that allow a process to access memory outside/larger than it's VAS

/3GB or /USERVA should only be used if you can properly determine that your workload is VAS-pressured (and none of the other considerations preclude the use as well) - if your workload is not under VAS pressure, or if the VAS is not your bottleneck, you will probably see minimal (if any) increased throughput.

AWE is is an enabler allowing a 32-bit Operating System to address more than 4GB of physical memory.; there are obvious benifits however, there are performance considerations which should not be over looked when using AWE. For example, AWE memory cannot be swapped to the page file, therefore you should closely monitor application memory requirements after machine startup before allocating memory

Enabling AWE Memory for SQL Server
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190673.aspx

Since Windows 2000, the operating system has provided a feature to reduce the kernel mode memory to just 1GB, thereby allowing the user mode portion 3 of the 4GB in the virtual address space. Microsoft achieves this by the system-wide boot.ini /3GB switch and it applies to all 32-bit applications running on the box (not just SQL Server). Windows 2003 has introduced a new boot.ini switch, /USERVA (see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316739), which essentially does the same thing as /3GB but allows finer tuning of exactly how much memory is allocated to the kernel code (between 1GB and 2GB).

How To: Remove $NtUninstall folders
www.tech-pro.net/how-to-remove-ntuninstall-folders.html

The one thing to keep in mind is that there are Registry entries and a
few misc. files that are tied to each hotfix/update. Deleting the
$NTUninstallKB folders will leave these associated entries/files as
orphans. Therefore you might consider a tool designed specifically to
handle this task

...its better to check if the ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) can provide service all the regions that you want to dial out (to any cell phones/ land-lines in those regions). In some countries (Like India), ITSP cannot yet provide Local and STD call service over the Internet due to regulation.
...the analog phones (from one location) can access the analog trunks (in another location) through the gateways and dial out to any phone number using the analog trunks. So, someone sitting in one location makes a call to any phone number in another location and still pays only local call charges! Again, this is not allowed within certain countries (like India)

It could be container for virus or...

scrap file originated from Word or Excel file.

How to create such scrap file?
In Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel applications, you can drag and drop selected document text, drawing objects, and graphics to the Windows desktop. A desktop icon is created for the scrap file, along with a file located in the Windows\Desktop subfolder with an SHS extension. This file is a native program document that contains the information that was selected and dragged onto the Windows desktop. If you select and delete the desktop icon, the corresponding SHS file will also be deleted. You can select and drag a scrap file on the desktop into another document.

Many students are protecting their computers with Security Essentials, and the universities requested that the definition updates be provided via WSUS.

So it is now allowed to be used by Academic Institutions? Compare with the quote below...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials says:
Microsoft allows home users to freely download, install and use Microsoft Security Essentials on an unlimited number of their computers in their households, so long as each computer has a genuine copy of Microsoft Windows. Small businesses are allowed to install on up to 10 devices, whereas use is prohibited on enterprise, government and academic institutions.

Microsoft Security Essentials checks for validity of the operating system during and after installation. If the operating system is found to be not genuine, Microsoft Security Essentials will notify the user of the issue, and may cease to operate after a period of time
