The Prolixium Communications Network (known also as PCN, mynet, My Network, and Prolixium .NET) is a collection of small, geographically disperse, computer networks that provide IPv4 and IPv6, VPN, and VoIP transport to the Kamichoff family. Owned and operated solely by Mark Kamichoff, PCN often serves as a testbed for various network experiments. The majority of the PCN nodes are connected via residential data services (cable modem), while some have Fast Ethernet connections to the Internet.
Current State
As of May 8, 2009, PCN is composed of several networks along the east coast of the United States, connected via OpenVPN and 6in4 tunnels:
- North Brunswick, NJ (home): nat.prolixium.com on HFC via Optimum Online
- New York, NY (vox): dax.prolixium.com on Fast Ethernet via Voxel dot Net
- Tampa, FL (sago): nonce.prolixium.com on Fast Ethernet via Sago Networks
- Charlotte, NC (cha): starfire.prolixium.com on HFC via Road Runner
- Sarasota, FL (srst): scimitar.prolixium.com on HFC via Comcast
- Carteret, NJ (car): tachyon.prolixium.com on HFC via Comcast
Each site has multiple (network is almost fully-meshed) OpenVPN tunnels to other locations, each with a 6to4 tunnel inside, providing both IPv4 and IPv6 communications with data protection and security. Quagga's ospfd, ospf6d, and bgpd are used in the production network (the term production is relative) on commodity PC hardware, while the Charlotte site also utilizes Juniper NetScreen and SSG firewalls firewall.
