44.133.48.66 !!!
by Maiko Langelaar 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Good afternoon, It would see that 44.133.48.66 is popping, snmpding, and other amounts of traffic from time to time to various ampr.org systems and doing so *without warning* type of thing. I just got hit with a bunch of SNMP requests, others have been hit with POP requests. Can anyone find out who the owner of that particular system or network is, so that I can contact the entity or person. Or perhaps a bit more draconian, can someone deal with it. Thanks in advance.

Re: [44net] Gateways Unreachable after Dynamic IP Update
by lleachii＠aol.com 07 Apr '13

Dear Bob VE3TOK (and thanks to VE3ZDA and N2NOV), Your entry is on my route table, I'm using rip44d (not encap), so my updates are live. The IP of my gateway is correct in the Portal. I use the -a switch to remove my own route (and have updated it to the correct IP); and I still receive rip44d updates over AMPR (showing that I have not lost connectivity to the Main AMPRGW). From testing connectivity to your subnet, I have determined that my 44GW is operational; and that some gateways may not have yet updated their encap. Thanks for your help; I waited a few days to to be sure that was not the case; as I know all stations do not have dynamic routing updates, I'll wait longer next time. 73, Lynwood KB3VWG http://44.60.44.10/tools @kb3vwg-015:~$ ping 44.135.85.1 -c 10 PING 44.135.85.1 (44.135.85.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

BGP feed

Hey folks, I'm going to stand up a quagga server over at 44net-tunnel-endpoint.org in the next week or so. Would any of you be willing to give me a private feed of the v4 table (and v6 if you've got it) using a reserved AS number on my end? It's been a while since I've done this, so be gentle with me ;-) From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1930: 10. Reserved AS Numbers The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following block of AS numbers for private use (not to be advertised on the global Internet): 64512 through 65535 Thanks much!

I never got much spam that I could trace to .nl domain name registration (note that .nl now no longer reveals contact info via whois, but they used to in the past). On the other hand, what really buried me in spam is registering for some port numbers and a organization unique ID at IANA. They published the requester's mail in a text file on their site, and for port numbers it is in /etc/services. I have had to abandon some mail addresses because of it. Rob

Back in the days when we were still doing a packet network, the situation was like this: The license said "each packet should be identified by the callsigns of the station where the traffic originates from, and the station that is actually transmitting the packet". This made point-to-point packet legal, as well as digipeated packet. Both comply to that requirement. The method used by NET/ROM was illegal. It transmitted packets from the nodes using a modified originator callsign. The packets had the callsign of the original source, but not the callsign of the node that was transmitting them. When I adapted NET/ROM into NET, I created a system where the exit node transmitted a "faked" digipeated packet that looked like if the node had actually digipeated a packet (while it in fact was making a downlink connection). That made it formally compliant to the license requirements, and was also more convenient for the users as it showed where the traffic was actually coming from. The same thing was done in Germany, in other software. Then look at IP. An IP packet transmitted via the network and sent by a node/router has the AX.25 callsign of the node transmitting it, but does not carry the callsign of the original source. Someone consulted the authorities about it. He got the assertion that it would be accepted as identification if there would be a publicly available mapping between IP address and callsign, so they could consult that when wanting to determine the source of the traffic. All the time after that, the hosts file for the Netherlands has been publicly available both on the BBS system and on telephone BBS (in those days) and Internet (later). And there was the Internet DNS with this information. It may be that the current license no longer explicitly states the callsign requirements, there have been changes. I just have continued to always use the callsign as part of all hostnames assigned to allocated IP addresses within 44.137... (callsign.ampr.org or label.callsign.ampr.org) Note that all this is only the situation in the Netherlands, I have no idea how regulations are in the US or elsewhere. Also note that all this is mostly academic, as packet radio is now formally illegal in the Netherlands except for stations with a "notice of variation" for unattended operation. Why that, you ask? Well, it went like this. There has always been a NOV requirement for unattended stations. Nodes, repeaters, BBSes etc required such a notice from the authorities to allow operation without the operator being present. User's packet stations did not require this NOV as long as the operator was present during use of the station. And many operated on the edges of what was really allowed, it wasn't really enforcible anyway. (e.g. the station transmitting a file while you are watching TV or sleeping, is that "attended"?) Of course an unattended phone repeater also requires a NOV. To get one, one needs to fulfill certain criteria like a minimal distance to another repeater on the same band. And there is co-ordination to distribute the limited number of channels. There are always some people do not want to play within those rules and started operating "attended repeaters" on all kinds of imaginable channels, and D-STAR hotspots, sometimes after a request for an NOV was denied to them. It somehow irritated the authorities and they redefined the "attended" requirement: it must be the operator himself, either directly or via some authenticated link guaranteeing it to be only him, who keys the transmitter. A repeater or hotspot, where the transmitter is keyed by the reception of a signal not from the operator, is now declared to be in requirement of an NOV no matter if the operator is actually present or not. And it is also stated that there will be increased effort to monitor and effectuate this regulation. Unfortunately, a packet station, even with the operator sitting at the keyboard, is now outside these bounds. The transmitter is keyed as a result of someone transmitting towards you, if only to transmit an acknowledgement. And this is explicitly no longer allowed in the definition. I have no idea if this has been the intention and what they now actually think about packet. It is very likely that we are only the victim of the desire to regulate the phone repeater mess, and it was not the intention to disallow point-to-point packet or user-to-node packet as well. Rob

Windows Based AMPR Router
by lleachii＠aol.com 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

All, Has anyone attempted to setup an AMPR gateway using Microsoft Windows (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc940485.aspx)? I surmise that the tunnel setup is straightforward; and ActiveState ActivePerl (http://www.activestate.com/activeperl) can be used to run RIP44d, I have not reviewed the RIP44d file as of yet; but I assume editing the line that adds routes to the Routing Table would be all that is needed. The Perl Packages 'interface' and 'IO-Socket-Multicast' are available through ActivePerl for Windows, has anyone tried a Microsoft setup before; did you have success/failure? I wanted to make sure no one has already tried the Windows OS before I explore; and if they have, can they provide some insight and instructions. 73, Lynwood KB3VWG
