=Glossary=
 
Please consult the [[CTWUG Glossary]] for definitions to some of the terms used in this document.
 
 
 
 
 
=Everyday WUG Use=
 
==Game Time==
 
CTWUG maintains a system of bandwidth management called Game Time.  This is a period of time during which gaming related traffic enjoys maximum priority on the network by aggressively shaping non-game related traffic in an effort to reduce network latency to a minimum.
 
 
 
Game Times have been voted the following:
 
 
 
* '''Monday - Thursday:''' 20:00 - 00:00
 
* '''Friday:''' 19:00 - 03:00
 
* '''Saturday:''' 15:00 - 03:00
 
* '''Sunday:''' 17:00 - 00:00
 
 
 
It is the responsibility of [[CTWUG Admin]] to maintain and respond to Game Time failures.  It is the duty of Wuggers to respect these times and not subvert the bandwidth limits for non-game related traffic.
 
 
 
==IRC==
 
The CTWUG IRC channel, #CTWUG, has a few rules that must be adhered to:
 
 
 
* Respect other users.
 
* Avoid CAPS usage.  It is considered SHOUTING to use CAPS, and rude to use it all the time.
 
* Official channel languages are English and Afrikaans.  Other languages, including "leet" speak, MXit/SMS speak, are not allowed.
 
* No blasphemy or excessive use of crude language.
 
* Keep the topics family friendly.
 
* No talk of software piracy. This includes the tools used to obtain pirated software.
 
* Ops have a right to private message you and/or kick/ban you at their discretion.
 
* If you use the /away command, make sure that your client does not spam channels with your away status.
 
* Bottie is the only bot permitted in the channel.
 
 
 
Some of these rules are relaxed in #CTWUG-Lounge.  Please join there for more freedoms.  Your WUG IP address must have working Reverse DNS to join the Lounge.
 
 
 
Wuggers are also free to create their own channels where they can define their own rules.
 
 
 
 
 
==Reverse DNS==
 
It is every Wugger's duty to ensure all his assigned IP addresses have working reverse DNS by adding address names to his [http://wind.ctwug.za.net/ WiND] node.  If a Wugger has been assigned a /29 of address space, he has 8 IP addresses that require DNS entries.  This is true regardless of how many of these addresses might be in use on his network at any point in time.  Please consult [[CTWUG Admin]] or fellow Wuggers if you need help with your DNS.
 
 
 
 
 
==Unacceptable WUG activities==
 
* Network scans of any kind are forbidden unless all owners of affected equipment have given approval prior.  This includes use of TheDude, port scans, security scans, password and/or brute force scans.  Ping sweeps across IP ranges are acceptable if limited to <64 byte ICMP messages, and does not amount to a Denial of Service.
 
* Flooding and Denial of Service attacks are forbidden.
 
* Traffic sniffing at transit points that reveals packet payloads is forbidden.
 
* Hacking, cracking, and brute force attempts against any equipment or service on the WUG is forbidden, unless arranged prior between all involved parties.
 
* IP address spoofing and hijacking is forbidden.
 
* Advertising is restricted to personal classifieds on the CTWUG forum.  Any other advertising, spam, or solicitation is forbidden unless approved in advanced by The Committee.
 
* Operation of commercial, paid-for network services on the WUG is forbidden.  This includes commercial Internet access.
 
* Racism, hate speech, repeated excessive aggression, and threats against Wuggers is forbidden.
 
 
 
 
 
=High Site Setup and Maintenance=
 
==General==
 
* All high sites must follow the [[CTWUG Naming Convention]].  High sites not following this must rectify their configuration in a timely manner, or grant [[CTWUG Admin]] to rectify it on their behalf.
 
* Point-to-Point links must use a single /30 IP address block.
 
* Point-to-Multipoint links may use unnumbered address assignments, but a /28 address block per SSID is recommended.
 
* Wireless links should be planned in co-operation with other nearby high sites so as to avoid interference, and maximise bandwidth efficiency.
 
 
 
==Transit Routers==
 
* Must be managed by [[Wug Management System]], and administrative access granted to [[CTWUG Admin]].
 
* Internet interfaces must be approved by [[CTWUG Admin]] prior to instatement.
 
* Firewall and NAT rules must be approved by [[CTWUG Admin]] prior to instatement.
