TAPR Elections
by Brian 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

I was asked by one of the current TAPR board members to throw my name into the hat for this year's elections which I have done. One thing I would like to try to do is help us get some exposure on TAPR with our projects amongst other things I'd like to help accomplish. TAPR has been at some of our EastNet meetings and they know what we're about and are supportive of our use of IP over RF. I also would like to think having someone from within amprnet on the TAPR board could be beneficial to both. They should have emailed you a ballot with your membership ID number and expiration date of your membership. You'll need that to cast your 3 member vote. With that said, please cast a vote for me so that I'll be able to help achieve some great things for us all. Thanks in advance. -- Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? ----- 73 de Brian N1URO IPv6 Certified n1uro-dawt-ampr-dawt-org uronode-dawt-n1uro-dawt-com

Re: [44net] Right Way to Add IPIP Connections to BGP-Announced Network
by Rob Janssen 06 Oct '18

Jason, It is difficult to define "right way" because there always is someone with a setup that breaks when you do it in some way. Who is wrong and who is right is difficult to tell in such cases. We have a BGP-announced /16 for the Netherlands and we also announce the same /16 on the IPIP tunnel network. Subnets from this are routed internally (using BGP as well, but not related to the internet BGP, we use private AS numbers) and also some people have IPIP tunnels with subnets or addresses that are within the /16. We use ampr-ripd to get the IPIP routes. This works OK. People communicating to others that are on IPIP as well use the IPIP tunnel, when they want to talk to others they send it via IPIP to our gateway (i.e. our gateway is the default gw on the 44-net routing table, instead of amprgw as in the examples) and we decapsulate it and forward the internal IP packet to our internal systems or to internet. To have it working this way it is important that all routes are in the same routing table. You can use different metrics to avoid collisions between BGP routes and IPIP routes for the same subnet, but it is not a good idea to use different routing tables for BGP and IPIP routes and then use ip rules to lookup in those tables until a route is found. This is because a more specific route should always be preferred, independent from the routing protocol. So when a packet is to be routed, it is looked up in the table and either a route via the IPIP mesh or some other route is used to forward it. A destination on IPIP can be within the BGP routed subnet without problem, and vice-versa. It will work fine when the remotes on IPIP correctly route back to you via IPIP as well. But some stations use clever hacks to work around certain problems and the result can be that they are unreachable for people using this solution. Who is right and who is wrong is difficult to determine, as has been shown in earlier discussions on the list. Rob

Right Way to Add IPIP Connections to BGP-Announced Network
by Jason McCormick 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

With is the correct AMPRNet way to connect a BGP-announced AMPR netblock to the IPs that live behind IPIP tunnels? Should I just use one of my IPs in the /24 for the IPIP tunnel on my side, connect to 44.0.0.1/169.228.66.251, and use ampr-ripd? Or do I need a second subnet as in a "pure" IPIP setup and route between those networks myself? I'm not finding any good docs on the topic, but if I'm missing something please point me in the right direction. My understanding is that AMPR networks behind IPIP-based gateways can't necessarily get out to the wider Internet but rely on IPIP tunnels to different networks they want to reach via the rip44 service. We're working on setting up a larger Allstar-based repeater network and once we get it finally going, I want networks elsewhere in AMPRNet to be able to connect if they desire. Thanks. Jason

Difference between RIPv2 and RIP44
by Aaron Jackson 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

I am curious to understand the specific differences between "standard" RIPv2 and the "RIP44" used by AMPR. I read on the wiki that 44net uses a "modified RIP advertisements". I find that tcpdump can decode these packets, showing the destination nextwor and next hop address. Why is a standard ripd unable to process these? Not complaining - just curious :) Thanks, Aaron, M6PIU

> I updated ampr-ripd in line with recent changes. Running v2.3. I do > use multiple routing tables as recommended in the documentation. Using multiple routing tables is good when you have to work around source address filtering, so you want to send traffic from your 44 address to systems outside 44.0.0.0/8 via another default router, e.g. amprgw, than your usual internet traffic. However, I think ampr-ripd >= 2.0 should insert a route for 44.0.0.1 in your table for net44 like: 44.0.0.1 via 169.228.34.84 dev tunl0 proto ampr-ripd onlink Strange that you don't have that. But when you use multiple tables you should also have: default via 169.228.34.84 dev tunl0 onlink in the net44 table (unless you use another system to work around source address filtering) so it should not matter much that 44.0.0.1 is missing as this happens to use the same gateway.

It could also help a lot when you separate the ampr.org system and the amprgw system, e.g. by running ampr.org (or both) in a VM. Rob

Does the ampr gateway know about the networks routed via BGP? Maybe the mistake is that it consults the route tables in some order (first check if there is a BGP route, if so then route that way, then check if there is a tunnel route, if so route via tunnel). This will fail on my test system because it has a /32 route via IPIP but the address is within 44.137.0.0/16 routed using BGP. The routing tables should be all merged into one so that it recognizes this /32 as more specific than the /16 and it routes via the tunnel not via BGP. Part of our routing table: default via 213.222.29.193 dev eth0 44.0.0.0/8 via 213.222.29.193 dev eth0 src 44.137.0.1 44.0.0.1 via 169.228.34.84 dev tunl0 proto ampr-ripd metric 4 onlink 44.2.0.1 via 191.183.136.1 dev tunl0 proto ampr-ripd metric 4 onlink (213.222.29.193 is the router of our ISP) Rob

> >/Is there a route for 44.0.0.1 in your routing table?///> Not that I can see. I'm running ampr-ripd. Probably an older version (before 2.0)? These had a hard-coded ignore of routes to 44.0.0.1 so it does not appear in your routing table, and as a result you may send traffic to 44.0.0.1 via your default route, with your public IP as source address. Then, you get replies. (whether this actually works depends on your configuration w.r.t. "ip rule" and using multiple routing tables) Rob
