Prototyping New Responsive Mobile for UNIX.COM - Phase III

From Prototyping New Responsive Mobile for UNIX.COM - Phase II, we move to Phase III.

Basically, the core prototype for every day browsing the forums, replying, posting and editing on mobile is nearly finished with the exception of a few formatting issues with regard to rare system messages or less obvious pages which need a bit of formatting to match the new style. I have done all my personal testing on the iPhone 6s and iPhone6+.

In phase three, I plan to work on Javascript sliders for page navigation so we can slide back and forth with gestures on mobile versus clicking to advance to the next page in long threads with many posts or forum views of many pages of discussion threads. Also, in Phase III I plan to fix bugs and correct formatting errors and add any pages (port to mobile) that members really want. Considering most all users prefer desktop because it's easier to prototype code on the desktop (by far), mobile is mostly for reading and catching up on the go or making a quick reply which does not require coding.

Status: Mobile usage is slowing increasing, day-by-day, week-by-week, since the new mobile prototype changes. Google shows nearly 100% "mobile friendly" for all indexed pages, currently over 1,000,000. However, I have "forced" this in some cases and there is a bit more work to be done in the long term (99% of mobile users will not notice this).

At this point in the prototype development, I would like to encourage all users who have mobile phones to visit the forums on mobile from time to time, try out all the new icons and buttons, read (and reply) and comment in this thread.

All comments, even negative or harsh are OK. Praise is also appreciated as it was a lot of work to get this code to this stage.

Please keep in mind that the mobile version is not meant to have the richness of the desktop version. The mobile version does not have editor buttons for code tags (yet) and other nice to have editor or moderating features. Code tags need to be written by hand "[code]" and "[/code] for example . For me, this is no problem at all, but for people who are new members and not familiar with how to write out these tags (often quicker than using prefab buttons), it's not perfect yet. I will this fix in the future as usage goes up.

So, please visit with mobile from time to time, when you are on the go, or relaxing away from your desktop or notebook, and if you see any bugs, formatting issues, or would just like to suggest some features, please do so now before I enter into development Phase III of this "mobile prototype" project.

Thank you.

NAME
mipagentstat - show Mobile IP Mobility Agent status SYNOPSIS
mipagentstat [-fhp] DESCRIPTION
Use the mipagentstat utility to display the content of various Mobile-IP related data structures. Visitor Table (First Form) The visitor table display lists information for all mobile nodes registered with the foreign agent, one mobile node per line. This list consists of the mobile node's home address or Network Access Identifier (NAI), home agent address, total registration lifetime and the num- ber of seconds remaining before the registration expires. The following command line shows the output from a foreign agent with two mobile nodes registered: example# mipagentstat -f Mobile Node Foreign Agent Time Granted Time Remaining Flags (in secs) (in secs) foobar@xyz.com fa1@tuv.com 600 125 10.1.5.23 123.2.5.12 1000 10 R An "R" in the flags column indicates a reverse tunnel is present. No reverse tunnel is configured for the mobile node foobar@xyz.com. A reverse tunnel is configured from mobile node 10.1.5.23. Binding Table (Second Form) The binding table display lists information for all mobile nodes registered with the home agent, one mobile node per line. This list con- sists of the mobile node's home address or NAI, foreign agent address, total registration lifetime and the number of seconds remaining before the registration expires. Use the following command line to show the output from a home agent with two active mobile nodes: example# mipagentstat -h Mobile Node Home Agent Time Granted Time Remaining Flags (in secs) (in secs) foobar@xyz.com ha1@xyz.com 600 125 10.1.5.23 10.1.5.1 1000 10 R An "R" in the flags column indicates a reverse tunnel is present. No reverse tunnel is configured for the mobile node foobar@xyz.com. A reverse tunnel is configured for mobile node 10.1.5.23. Agent Table (Third Form) The agent table display lists information for all current mobility agent-peers, that is all mobility agents with which mobile-nodes we are servicing are trying to obtain service. Provided in this display are the IPsec protection mechanisms being used with registration requests, replies, and tunnels. Use the following command line to show the output from a home agent with two (foreign) mobility agent peers: example# mipagentstat -hp Foreign ..... Security Association(s)..... Agent Requests Replies FTunnel RTunnel ------------------------ -------- -------- -------- -------- fa.eng.example.com AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP fa.central.example.com AH AH ESP ESP Use the following command line to show the output from a home agent with two (foreign) mobility agent peers: example# mipagentstat -fp Home ..... Security Association(s) ..... Agent Requests Replies FTunnel RTunnel ------------------------ -------- -------- -------- -------- ha.eng.example.com AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP ha.central.example.com Use of the -p option without specifying the agent results in both displays described above, that is one display for each agent. An AH in any column indicates the IPsec AH mechanism is in place for those datagrams. An ESP in any column indicates the IPsec ESP mechanism is in place for those datagrams. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Display the list of active mobile nodes in the foreign agent's visitor's list. -h Display the list of active mobile nodes in the home agent's binding table. -p Display the list of mobility agent peers, and the IPsec protection mechanisms currently in use for registration and tunnel traf- fic. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. non-zero An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
