As well all of a advertised block must me advertised only from a single asn. This is where this will start to get tricky.

The policies below describe tier 1/2 peering between the big guys. Most peering relationships are not at that level. Many small businesses have peering with more than one service provider. It's quite common. The current startup I work for has a /24 that they announce to their colo provider in San Francisco, as well as the ISP that serves their HQ location further down the peninsula.

In concern of BGP peering... You can see some of the hoops that ARIN requires for an ASN at: https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html See section 5 <https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#five> for ASN requirements. Certainly there are policies for peering that other ASNs. Some of these policies are good to look at for requirements for announcing address space. Some of the requirements are a bit onerous and don't apply. Comcast has their set of requirements at: http://www.comcast.com/peering/ Certainly things like "Applicant must operate a US-wide IP backbone whose links are primarily 10 Gbps or greater" should not be a requirement. But points like: * Applicant must have a professionally managed 24x7 NOC and agree to repair or otherwise remedy any problems within a reasonable timeframe. Applicant must also agree to actively cooperate to resolve security incidents, denial of service attacks, and other operational problems. or * Applicant must maintain responsive abuse contacts for reporting and dealing with UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email), technical contact information for capacity planning and provisioning and administrative contacts for all legal notices. may be a good idea. The latter one would be needed to help resolve poisoning of address space and getting listed on various RBLs. Other sites that have peering requirements can be seen at: ATT - http://www.corp.att.com/peering/ Verizon - http://www.verizonbusiness.com/terms/peering/ AOL - http://www.atdn.net/settlement_free_int.shtml MFN/Abovenet - http://www.above.net/peering/ If folks want can make a stab at a draft for requirements for someone announcing 44/8 space.

Brian and All, I always thought it was a waste of a routable /8 to not have it routed on the Internet, otherwise why are people just not using IANA space instead? However, if it is to be routed on the internet I think some ground rules must be established of what is and is not acceptable and penalties for not following the rules and established guidelines. Additionally, and I bring this up again, a RWHOIS server should/must be used (tied in with ARIN on the 44/8 allocation) so that people can query specific address space that will return the contact/owner of whatever space is being advertised for whatever reason. Additionally, IRR entries should also be required for anyone wanting to advertise space via BGP. Those should be some common sence polices that need to be followed at the very minimum. Obviously nothing smaller then a /24 should be advertised on the internet as most Tier 1 carriers will block any address space that is smaller in their BGP configs. I don't know what the whole breakup of space looks like within each coordinator's /16 space (for those that have a /16 of space), but I would think there surely is space in each that could be a usable /24 or larger that could be utilized for that. Alternatively there seems to be a lot of space at the upper end of the 44 block that could be used for internet routed blocks if we wanted to use that first? IP Space justification will be whole issue within it's self as well, because if you only REALLY need /28 or /27 of IP's, one will still need to advertise a /24. Perhaps who ever advertises space via BGP should accept the condition that if only a portion of the advertise space is being used that you will accept and allow another person needing the available space so that it's not wasted. This could be tracked and allocated via the rwhois server in conjunction with entries in IRR. UCSD can still advertise the 44/8, and of course if anyone advertises a more specific route, that will be preferred of the larger aggregate. Be nice if we were all on a IRC chat channel to bounce ideas around? If anyone is interested, how about channel #44net on IRC server network freenode (irc.freenode.net). I'm on there now.

I'm also using a standard Ubuntu Linux Server 11.10 using rip44d and a Web Application providing a GUI named Webmin. This is a quick overview on setup. This setup can be done with telent and SSH; for simplicity of those who know the command line syntax, I will omit the necessaries. 1.) - with IP forwarding (Routing) enabled in /etc/sysctl.conf # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4 net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 2.) - I installed webmin (a Web GUI application for servers) package to better enable on the fly IPtables Firewall configurations, NAT, masquerade, etc. (these configurations allowed me to have this server as router for my 44.60.44/24 subnet over AMPR, while having the ability to also have a private 192.168/24 subnet that uses my standard non-tunneled gateway IP address from my ISP. PE1CHL recommended table-based policy routing; it configures any 44/8 address to use a routing tabled named "44," all other traffic is routed on main. If you setup this router to use NAT or Masquerade for a private network using your ISP's gateway, there will also be entries in the "nat" table. An edit to the rip44d script is necessary to place the 44/8 routes into a routing table named "table 44." 3.) - eth0 was configured at setup as the device connected to the Gateway address. 4.) - In this example, eth1 is the Ethernet interface that will be used as you LAN side providing your 44 Addresses (in this example 44.128.0.0/24) of the router connection (if you do not have access to another NIC, you may also want to set this up virtually to the address on your LAN if this is not the routing device for your physical network). Interface tunl0 is the default Linux IPIP encapsulation tunnel. The example/testing subnet 44.128.0.0/24 will be the subnet assigned to the gateway on tunl0 and eth1 used here. 5.) - with the help of Brian and PE1CHL, I then created a script named /usr/local/sbin/startampr to run on boot (it can be setup to run at boot in the webmin GUI under "Bootup and Shutdown" ### Enables AMPR IPIP Tunnel Interface modprobe ipip ip addr add 44.128.0.2/24 dev tunl0 # gives tunnel its own TTL enabling traceroute over tunnel ip tunnel change ttl 64 mode ipip tunl0 ip link set dev tunl0 up ### Creates AMPR Default Routes on main Route Table #route to 44.128.0.0/24 on main route table ip rule add to 44.128.0.0/24 table main priority 1 ### Specifies Routes to and from 44/8 are entered on Route Table 44 ip rule add from 44.0.0.0/8 table 44 priority 44 ip rule add to 44.0.0.0/8 table 44 priority 45 ### Creates Default Route to the AMPRGW and the ### Internet At-large, on the 44 Router ## Per PE1CHL: 'This is "required" to get routing of the net-44 traffic correct ## and have a default route for the tunneled traffic different from the default ## route of the system.

All, I actually had a thought on this before I read the current line of discussion. Alot has been highlighted on the nature of a 501(c)3 and what it can and cannot do (feel free to read up on the IRS.gov publications). A 501(c)7 is also a route we may wish to take (depending on California Law and if the filing for determination process had not already proceeded). I also noted that keeping it for Amateur use by Hams is a very good idea. Also recall that we need to keep the network flexible, as testing and development of new protocols and types of equipment, etc. is also something that may become of interest in the future. Also, if you are going to announce space, I am capable of having it housed; so agreements regarding equipment, etc. would be on an Intergovernmental network in my area that RACES and local Emergency Radio Foundation will petition for a seat on, we don't happen to have any carrier-grade network equipment in our shacks on the East Coast (lol).. HSMM-MESH seems like something we want to experiment on right now. In addition, we peer with non-commercial networks; NetworkMaryland is the ISP that we wish to approach for holding an announcement. And it will be Internally BGPed to my County. I'd like to talk with my State Coordinator about this. I know that we are a network neighbour to the Internet2.edu backbone and other carries as well. ~73, Lynwood KB3VWG 44.60.44/24

directly routed subnets
by Brian Kantor 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I've gotten several requests for directly routed subnets (ie, BGP announced CIDR blocks as subnets of 44/8, not tunneled) for ham radio use. These are people who want to set up HSMM networks in the ham bands, D-Star constellations, etc. I thought I'd ask folks what they think of the idea of setting aside part of the address space for that purpose? What issues do you see arising from doing so? - Brian

Re: [44net] netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu and packet loss
by lleachii＠aol.com 06 Mar '12

Bill, Thanks, I have installed multiple versions of JRE, I'm currently using Oracle JRE 1.7.0_03, still a connection reset to the analyser and any pages served on the domain http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu So, it's not simply a Java issue, as accessing non-Java content returns the same error. I'm using Linux w/ a firewall, so no Anti-Virus/Malware running preventing the connection. I can browse to the page if I connect the device a the non 44 node at my home QTH. I should note all other sites needing JRE to run (such as the Test your Java Page) work perfectly fine on all other network connections, all devices, with all versions of JRE tested, this only occurs if the device is connected to 44net. I just wanted to verify that the results you noted to me were obtained over the 44 connection before I contact Berkley.edu about inability to access the tool. ~Lynwood KB3VWG

AMPRNet activity in Sweden?
by Brian Kantor 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

I've received a request regarding AMPRNet activity in Sweden. The email address I have for the coordinator there dates from back in 2000 and is no longer valid. There are over 1000 DNS entries for the 44.140 Swedish subnet; surely somebody must still be active. Any information would be appreciated. - Brian
