Obtaining a /16 network for a specific DXCC country (TK) ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi, I'm TK1BI, and I'm living in Corsica. It's a small island in the Mediterranean sea. It's a French "department". But it's a specific DXCC country : TK. With my friend TK5EP, we are managing the TK5KP radio-club, which has been very active for years. We are now designing a hamnet network for our island. I'm wondering if it would be possible to obtain a /16 subnet for our "country". If so, what would be the requirements ? Here are some arguments : - In the ham radio world, Corsica is a separate DXCC country. - On an administrative point of view, Corsica is a department of France. But it's an island, and there's 300 km of sea between us and France. So, it's an independant geographical unit. - On a political point of view, Corsica has a specific language (similar to Italian), and a local government that would tend to more autonomy inside France and Europe. - On a historical point of view, Corsica has been one of the first republics in the world (30 years before France), and its Constitution, written in 1755 by Pasquale PAOLI, was used as a reference for the constitution of the United States of America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasquale_Paoli). - On a technical point of view, we're already using the 44.151.20.0/24 subnet (from France). And it would be technically enough to handle all our future needs. The "internal" net is built on 10.x.y.0/24 subnets, and only the external gateway has a 44.x address. Anyway, having a /16 would allow us to separate each region and city in /24 subnets, and use 44.x adresses everywhere (no more 10.x). As you can see, this request is not really based on technical needs; It's mostly a request to affirm our identity in the hamradio world. I'm a Systems Engineer, specialized in network and telecom. I'll host the backbone of the network in my professional datacenters (one in France/OVH, and one here in Corsica). My company will give free hosting, free VMs, free IP addresses and free bandwidth to the radio-club, so that the network will benefit of latest technologies at no cost. We'll also have BGP capabilities. TK5EP and I will be the sysadmins. Then, would it be possible to get a /16 subnet for Corsica ? Thank you in avance. 73 de TK1BI

Is ENCAP.TXT available via FTP
by Jay Nugent 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Greetings fellow AMPRnetters, Is the encap.txt file still available via anonymous FTP any longer? That method was sweet and easy. I find the API rather clunky and so prone to scripting errors (on my end). I'm trying to automate updating the encap routes daily, and FTP has always been tried and true. NO! Not interested in RIP as during emergencies when we need to manually make changes to the routing tables they get overwritten by RIP. So that is NOT a solution in an EMCOM environment, sorry. So is plain-jane FTP still available???

Re: [44net] ampr-ripd for openwrt (Jean-Marc Magnier)
by F6CNB 15 Feb '16

Jean-Marc, An easy way to check your system and to know if you are going thru Internet or thru ampr.org is to ping my IPIP gateway at either 44.151.91.7 or 44.168.12.6 If the ping time is around 300ms you are coming in from Internet via ucsd.edu and if the ping time is less than 100ms you are coming in thru the IPIP tunnel. For testing purpose, you can just manually create a few IPIP tunnels and routes on your openwrt router. . Feel free to contact me directly as I am only a few km (Bures sur Yvette) from your QRA. You should even be able to connect the 44.168.x.x network via radio on the 5.7MHz band. 73 Remi F6CNB

Filtering...
by Rob Janssen 14 Feb '16

14 Feb '16

On a somewhat related note: people, please include some filtering in your gateways to drop the packets with an RFC1918 source or destination address (the 192.168 networks etc) before forwarding them over tunnels. There are several other filters that you can apply, depending on the position of your gateway in the network, including the verification that the source address of packets is within your gatewayed subnet. I have filters with logging on the tunnel interfaces and it is unbelievable how many 192.168.88.x and 10.x.y.z packets I see being dropped. A little output filtering does not hurt! Rob

ampr-ripd for openwrt
by Steve L 14 Feb '16

Lynwood managed to cross-compile ampr-ripd v1.13 OpenWrt-ar71xx-for-mips_34kc back in August 2015. You can look at this lists archives around that time for any other notes. His binary and some other things can be found at http://44.60.44.10/amprnet_docs/ Note: Only accessible via 44net, else 403: >Hi, > >Does anyone know where I can find a compiled version of ampr-ripd for >openwrt (backfire) ?

by Michael Durrant (VE3PNX) 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Just a heads up. I have had the Toronto, Ontario subnet 44.135.88.0/24 subnet dark for a few years now and plan to get it back online in a few weeks. For those in the GTA, Bob, etc .. please drop me a private email so I can coordinate bringing the Toronto AMPRnet GW back online. Michael Durrant ve3pnx(a)andier.com www.packetradio.ca

banned 44.140.63.5
by Michael Fox (N6MEF) 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

The IP address 44.140.63.5 just tried multiple ssh attempts using invalid logins against six of our 44-net machines. The attempts were caught and blocked. But beware. Is there an abuse policy and, if so, what is it? Michael N6MEF

Re: [44net] HAMNet France
by F6CNB 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi Brian, My name is Remi F6CNB and I am in charge of developing the HAMNET network in France BUT I am not the IP address coordinator. The subnets are distributed by the coordinator outside the portail. I am using the hamnetdb.net to keep track of them. There are more than 50 sites currently active on the network. The network is growing fast in the Paris area with a lot of high speed backbones (typically 10 to 70Mbps). A lot of additional isolated subnets are existing in France including the very remote La Reunion island. They all are connected to the Paris area network thru gre tunnels. The main usages of the network are: VOIP, DMR/STAR repeater links, DATV repeater, Webcam, APRS ...... I got a script from our german hamnet friends to automatically update by email the main 44.0.0.0 DNS server from hamnetdb.net. I need to adapt it to handle the 44.168.0.0/16 network. Could you send me a description of the current way to update the DNS server by email and give me the privilege to do it? We also have a lot of issues with the current portail like I cannot assign 44.168.0.0/16 to my main ipip gateway (200Mbps connection both way) or the DNS registration not working. That is probably the main reason of poor DNS update. 73 Remi F6CNB (also W5/F6CNB 50% of the time)

Re: [44net] A bit OT
by William Lewis 09 Feb '16

The method is there. It's just almost hidden. When you click "Database", you will see only data from 2011 and newer. While looking at the right-side frame, each entry has an "update" option. Look closely at the very first one, and just above the word "update" you will see the word "New" Click "New" to add your entry. When you enter your data, the website will then attempt to use your computers default email program to submit a new entry via email. Depending on your email program, it may or may not try to warn you that another device is attempting to use your email program to send data somewhere. Cheers Peter.
