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.
In support of the "letsencrypt" and "https-everywhere" projects,
encrypted connections to www.ampr.org and wiki.ampr.org are now
available. Thanks to G1FEF for setting this up for us.

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.

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,

Cathryn;
Please contact me off-list. I've sent you emails and have not seen a
reply.
Thanks much.

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...
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)
