All,
I have 22 "unassigned" tickets in the Portal. I assume these have tasks I usually emailed my coordinator about. how do they get resolved?
I don't want to sound "entitled" - I just don't understand what's occurring-since I've been responded to and assumed over 1 year notice (I've been told ARDC had 2 year notice). I noted I'd have a DNS matter soon and and as understand coordinators don't know what to do.
Forgive me if this is the wrong channel to communicate, but I've noted this before publicly and privately with no response.
Also, my trust, IPv4 and IPv6 request trust level are incorrect.
Thanks and 73,

I rebooted my AMPRNet router after an upgrade earlier today, and now
IPENCAP traffic doesn't seem to be flowing through the UCSD gateway. I
wonder if this is expected behavior?
I've verified that all interfaces on the router are working as
expected: I can ping the _external_ address of the UCSD gateway from
my router's external interface:
```
marconi# ping -V 23 -I 23.30.150.141 169.228.34.84

```
But suppose I try to `ping` an external IPv4 address from a machine
inside of my subnet. Then those messages seem to be dropped. E.g.,
dumping on the encap interface:
```

(Note: the UDP packet is just an NTP request on the machine that
happens to be running `ping`, but it's unrelated.)
I can see that such packets are being routed out of my external
interface, while properly encapsulated. e.g.,

However, if I try to `ping` a machine I own elsewhere on the network
where I can run `tcpdump`, the traffic never seems to get there.
Further, I can `ping` my external interface from elsewhere on the
network. That all appears to be working. IPv6 works, so I'm fairly
confident in e.g. my firewall rules and so on.
Curiously, I am receiving RIP packets from 44.0.0.1 on the multicast
group, and I can `ping` other machines inside the AMPRNet mesh, but
this all strongly implies that the UCSD gateway is dropping traffic to
and from my subnet.
Is that expected? Thanks!

All,
I did some work on restoring my netflow collectors - and the first thing I noticed was the NTP server ns.ardc.net is giving me an error. It seems that it does not allow queries from our Gateway Public IPs as AMPRGW previously did. This provides a chicken-or-the-egg issue on some of my configs if any time-based services are needed (i.e. if I only rely on ns.ardc.net for time). This could be a serious issue if e.g. tunnels were switched to Wireguard (i.e. needing time for encryption).
A SK (I will not name) frowned upon NTP via IPENCAP for obvious reasons (I hope the DNS discussions make clear that a UDP NTP packet with latency or delays from 2 rounds trips is BAD).
I'm looking into the implications for myself and possibly for others by not considering this before the change was made. I'm now working on routes/rules to make an exception for this IP; but it will require some testing as this would be on my main (non-AMPRNet) routing table, which is BAD.
I haven't taken time to determine if this will cause issues for other use cases. I am still run the Stratum 2 server for those who may realize that they are no longer syncing only on AMRPNet's NTP services.

Hi folks,
In addition to helping to ideally clarify some of the questions that
have come up on the mailing list, given the tone of some of the recent
communications, it seems prudent to remind this group of ARDC’s Code of
Conduct:
https://www.ardc.net/about/legal/code-of-conduct/
The policy outlines examples of unacceptable behavior, the process for
dealing with incident reports, as well as varying types of outcomes.
It is true that the new Portal rollout has caused some confusion, and I
completely understand the frustration that comes with it. At the same
time, ARDC is committed to facilitating a “supportive, productive, and
fun learning environment.” Before sending an email, I ask that everyone
pause, breathe, and re-read, looking for opportunities to remove
language that could be considered accusatory, hostile, or aggressive.
Our goal is to solve problems together, and flaming the fires of
division impedes progress in that direction.
Thank you for your attention,
Rosy

Hi everyone,
Just a note to say QSL on many of the recent messages, as well as to
provide some information that hopefully addresses some of the inquiries
and concerns.
In particular, there are many questions about what regional coordinators
can and cannot do with the new portal, as well as requests for more
clarity surrounding the Level of Trust (LoT).
At a high level, here are some brief updates about each of those items:
1. One of the biggest concerns we have heard from coordinators is that
they are not able to administer their address space on the new Portal.
Specifically, members report that they are unable to place requests for
address space in the regional/country allocations. The new portal
defaults to keeping address assignments private, however you can enable
requests by changing the network’s “Mode” from “Private” to “Open,” this
will allow members to place requests within the assignment. If anyone
requires further information on how to manage this, please contact:
newportal(a)ardc.net.
2. As many of you have pointed out, having a single person administering
the Portal also creates a bottleneck. Additionally, it creates a single
point of failure. The new Portal has the facility to assign tasks to
various Administrator roles to address this issue.
3. The Level of Trust (LoT) was established so that we at ARDC can
better ensure a user’s identity with a significant degree of confidence.
In general, there are two major categories: 1) BGP users and 2) non-BGP
users (i.e., “everyone else”). As there is a greater risk associated
with BGP, a higher LoT is required, and thus, more information will be
required for BGP allocations.
For non-BGP users (/25 addresses and smaller), we only verify your email
address, given name, family name, and active call signs. BGP usage
requires additional postal address verification, which takes a few more
steps. Many thanks to BGP users, in particular, for your patience here.
With the Portal and with 44Net in general – the goal is to do what we
can to increase usage and to make our technology better. We're also
evolving as an organization, which means evolving processes to become
more collaborative and streamlined in everything from policy development
to tech releases. We still have some way to go to reach an optimal
state. It's difficult to get there without hitting some snags and bumps,
particularly when working with dozens of intelligent people with varying
ideas about the “right” way to build something. We are committed to
getting there, and we are already learning lessons from this experience
that will make the next rollout better.
In the meantime, to anyone who feels like they aren’t being heard,
please know that you are. We are taking this feedback seriously for
future features and processes.
We’ll also follow up with regional coordinators to find a time for a
group discussion in the coming weeks.
Please also note – as some of you have likely seen – we are down a key
employee due to him becoming SK:
https://www.ardc.net/remembering-john-hays-k7ve-sk/
We had another employee depart a couple of weeks before John’s death.
The loss of these two people means a loss of 20% of our staff. As a
result, we are unexpectedly working through things more slowly than we
would like. I ask everyone for patience while we get our feet back under
us and restaff (which will take at least a couple of months).
I hope this message helps to clarify where we’re at. As always, if you
have any questions and/or would like further clarification, please don’t
hesitate to reach out, and we will help as much as we can. Thank you
again to everyone for your patience, and we also appreciate the
productive components of the feedback received.
73,

# Summary
Given that DNS has been a popular topic of discussion lately, I
thought it might be useful to try and put some words about it on the
Wiki. In preparation for this, I was playing around with the recursive
DNS server on my subnet, and I ran into some strange behavior that I
don't understand; perhaps someone else knows what's going on? To my
eye, it looks like some types of PTR queries are being dropped at or
before AMPRGW; this behavior is repeatable.
# Setup and Context
* I have a machine on my allocated subnet (44.44.48.29) that is
running a recursive, caching DNS server (that is, a resolver).
* The resolver is configured with stub zones that forward requests for
ampr.org, 44.in-addr.arpa and 128.44.in-addr.arpa to the authoritative
servers for those zones listed on the Wiki
* The resolver is configured to respond to requests issued over both
IPv4 and IPv6
* Machines on my subnet are configured to query this server.
* I have configured my firewall to allow access to the `domain` port
(e.g., UDP/53) on that machine from a few places on the Internet ---
but not all.
# Observations
What I observe is inconsistent, but repeatable, failures when issuing
PTR queries for certain IP addresses via IPv4 from the external
Internet.
* Forward queries from all sources seem to work fine. At least, I
haven't observed any that fail (other than for, say, non-existent
hostnames).
* Similarly, PTR queries issued from the hosts on my subnet all seem
to work as expected.
* PTR queries issued over IPv6 seem to work fine from any source.
* PTR queries issued over IPv4 from other networks locally connected
to my home network (I have several ethernets and TCP/IP networks at
home, interconnected with a set of routers and switches) all seem to
work fine.
* PTR queries for _some_ IP addresses issued over IPv4 from external
machines on the Internet work reliably. For example, I can reliably
query for 44.1.1.44, 44.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1, and 8.8.8.8 and I don't
believe I've ever seen any of these queries fail.
* PTR queries for _most_ 44Net IP addresses issued over IPv4 from
external machines on the Internet fail reliably. For example, I
cannot query for 44.44.48.1 (my gateway), or 44.182.21.1 (YO2LOJ's
machine). I don't believe I have ever seen any of these queries
succeed.
Note that the only thing that differs in the last two cases is the
address I'm trying to resolve.
Now the interesting part. For the failing queries, I've observed that
the actual query traffic _never makes it to my gateway from UCSD_.
That is, the encapsulated datagram carrying the UDP packet containing
the query never makes it to the external gateway.
I issued these queries with the `host` tool.
To verify this, I ran `tcpdump` in several places:
1. At the source machine where I issued the DNS queries:
tcpdump -vvn host 44.44.48.29
2. On my gateway, examining the encapsulated traffic on the external interface:
tcpdump -vvni cnmac1 ip proto 4 and 'ip[29:1] == 17 and (ip[42:2]
== 53 or ip[40:2] == 53)'
(Note the `ip[...]` expressions are matching in the encapsulated
IP and UDP headers.)
3. On the DNS server machine itself:
tcpdump -vvn udp port domain or tcp port domain
To verify that everything is working as expected, first I issue a
successful forward query:
```
: gaja; host -4 kz2x.ampr.orgsrv.kz2x.ampr.org
Using domain server:
Name: srv.kz2x.ampr.org
Address: 44.44.48.29#53
Aliases:
kz2x.ampr.org has address 44.44.48.2
kz2x.ampr.org has IPv6 address 2603:3005:b04:8144:48:edff:fe9c:c00
: gaja;
```
Note that the query succeeded (the astute reader may notice that
that's missing an MX record, but ignore that for now), but let's look
at the `tcpdump` output at each stage just to see what it looks like.
Note that the data is in my cache, so I omit the details of recursive
queries down to the roots, etc.
From the local machine where I issue the query, one sees:

Okay, but what about a failing query? Let's try one:
```
: gaja; host -4 44.44.48.29 srv.kz2x.ampr.org
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
: gaja;
```
Uh oh. As seen from the source host:
```
20:15:26.775880 166.84.136.80.29535 > 44.44.48.29.53: [udp sum ok]

39502+ PTR? 29.48.44.44.in-addr.arpa.(42) (ttl 64, id 40687, len 70)
```
But at the gateway, nothing at all is seen; no relevant data is
received from the AMPRGW, and of course, similarly at the DNS server
as well.
So it appears that these queries are being lost, either at AMPRGW or
before. Has anyone seen this before? Is it expected?

So, everyone out in 44net land, how are things?
After one month since the "cut-over":
- are the coordinators allowed to coordinate fully?
- are the requestors allowed to be assigned a non-.32/.61/63 address?
- is everyone "trusted" enough to use the portal freely/fully again?
Inquiring minds, and those waiting for an allocation, want to know.

Hello everyone,
I've had a 44net account for a while now and I've played with both setting up OpenWRT, several Linux VMs, and a Cisco 1900 (with limited knowledge and testing from work when we got fancy ISR4443's) but never actually achieved anything. Previously I read that to achieve BGP connectivity something had to be done with the ISP to allow the AS route to be announced/routed so that may have been another roadblock. Also with the whole IPIP based traffic, you can only have a limited number of devices unless you start working nat-magic and throw everything behind the same ip.
Personally, I'm more familiar with VPN-based tunneling back to an endpoint and the datacenter/carrier-based router would announce the /24 route based on the status of the tunnel/ip and would not actually need to involve the non-rfp'd local carrier at all. As long as traffic could be passed through a tcp port, the connection could be made.
Are there any opportunities with IPSEC/SSL/OpenVPN or even SDWAN endpoints joining the network instead of needing a router and formal networking knowledge to do the same? I just keep running into the same issues with 44net even though I can muster along and setup my work sites with good old IPSEC tunnels and locking the service down.
Thanks,
KD8SEP

I have been asked to participate in a conference call with ARDC staff
regarding the concerns about the portal cut-over. If there are any items
that you would like me to bring up during the call (not scheduled yet),
please email me directly at n2nov(a)n2nov.net with it.

I guess it can be called the "Friday Funnies" and full of marketing hype.
