Re: [44net] was Verifying the identities of IP coordinators
by Steve L 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

First I wanted to mention I am glad to read Bjorn's message about adding some content to the network. Keeping in contact is key. Be that a coordinator or any host on the amprnet. Seems every few months on here we are discussing how someone is sending out random packets, and a straight forward way to get a hold of people would be helpful. Some time back it was brought up to have a whois server or something like that. I bet I can guess the status of that. As for everyone having an ampr.org email address, perhaps a forwarding service like the arrl.net addresses? Then there is the possible spam problem, and the fact that someone would need to set up such a service. Overall a lot of good ideas are brought up on this list, so few ever happen. The only solution I am offering is everyone should help spread the word and try and get more people involved with moving this network forward. I wish I had better coding skills. One of the core problems at least in my country where the ampr/44net space is not well utilized is the lack of higher speed equipment to build a network. You really have to be part of a well organized club with site connections to do anything microwave on any big scale from what I have seen.

Mikrotik RIPv2 AMPR Gateway Setup Script 2.2
by Marius Petrescu 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hello, I found a bug in 2.1 which would crash the script on removing obsolete tunnels used in multiple routes. Also the loop causing this was completely useless, so a little more speed could be gained. I also tweaked the error handling in update_amprgw, but this should have a minimal impact. If you already run v2.1, please update only ampr_gw (and optional update_amprgw) from the zip file. The config file is unchanged. The updated versions are available as usual. Complete Mikrotik script for import for new installs: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.2.rsc http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.2.rsc ZIP archive containing individual files (for update): http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.2.zip http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.2.zip Have fun, Marius, YO2LOJ

Addressing NSP's SWIP request, AT&T
by Ryan Elliott Turner 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

For BGP, AT&T is asking that we SWIP the subnet on ARIN. Of course we can't do that, and I've shared the background that AMPRNET is legacy pre-ARIN ip space. I'm curious, has anyone run into this in the past? How were the service provider's concerns addressed? Thanks, -- Ryan Turner

Re: [44net] Mikrotik RIPv2 AMPR Gateway Setup Script 2.0
by Rob Janssen 16 Apr '16

> On a second thought, a simple plain text file that could be fetched via API > holding e.g. <subnet>:<gw>;[<subnet>:<gw>;]... would do the trick. I now read on the forum that a text file to be read in a script can be no more than 4K in size, so that may be a problem...

Mikrotik RIPv2 AMPR Gateway Setup Script 2.1
by Marius Petrescu 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hello, Just a small update for specific needs. - Added configuration script so updates can happen only for the main script System consists of 3 scripts: wrapper, config and actual update script so further updates can be done for a single script only without needing to edit the configuration every time (Tnx. Marc, LX1DUC). - Only static routes from the main table will be processed, so dynamic ones can co-exist without issues (Tnx. Adrian, YO8RXT) Complete Mikrotik script for import: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.1.rsc http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.1.rsc ZIP archive containing individual files: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-gw-2.1.zip Have fun, Marius, YO2LOJ
