answering questions about BGP assignment locations, address space plans
by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

Dear 44Net mailing list members, Weaving through many of the messages from the past few weeks, I’m aware that folks have some questions around why G1FEF has been organizing BGP requests in 44.31/16. Behind these questions, in some cases, is a sense of uncertainty around whether or not ARDC is going to sell any more address space. Some members of the TAC have requested that I speak to you all about these issues, and to create space where you can ask questions. So here we go G1FEF has been putting BGP allocations into 44.31/16 for a few reasons: * Currently there are BGP “holes” randomly scattered throughout our address space. This makes it harder to manage, especially when trying to spot unauthorized announcements, which we get a lot of. * We inherited the “give a /16 to every region or country” practice from the 1990’s which has resulted in extremely sparse use of the space. We'd be better “netizens” if we used the space more effectively. * The HAMNET issue (needing a static set of addresses for BGP routing) is also a consideration, as they are the largest consumers of our address space by far. All told, Chris is doing his best to engage in best practices absent a more robust policy around BGP. Creating that policy is definitely on the list, and ideally fits into a greater vision around next steps for the address space (PoPs? Better organizing assignments for one reason or another? etc.). Data from our recent assessment is helping us to put together that vision. Thank you to all of you who shared your thoughts. In terms of whether ARDC is planning to sell more addresses: while it may happen at some point in the future, there are no current plans, short or medium term, to do so. The non-inconsequential effort involved in overcoming the tax and operational implications of such a move would only make sense after taking into account the views of the 44Net community on a vision for overall address space usage and associated future plans. In the meantime, many thanks for your patience amid the uncertainty. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Sincerely,  Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

Hello Since 1 week I started to have problems with ampr-ripd settiing. The reception of response packets from 169.228.34.84 on port 520 udp are not coming. Before abt 1 week the reception went normally. The problem occures at all IPs of 44.63.16.116/28 subnet. Below examples: For OK0NMG-5: [root@ok0nmg ~]# ifconfig tunl0 tunl0: flags=4289<UP,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1480 inet 44.63.16.110 netmask 255.255.255.255 tunnel txqueuelen 0 (IPIP Tunnel) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 20599 bytes 5164325 (4.9 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 For OK2PEN-5 tunl0: flags=4289<UP,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1480 inet 44.63.16.112 netmask 255.255.255.255 tunnel txqueuelen 0 (IPIP Tunnel) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 892 bytes 223304 (218.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 For OK2KOJ-5 tunl0 Link encap:IPIP Tunnel HWaddr inet addr:44.63.16.111 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:106074 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:27842124 (26.5 MiB) All setting in amprnet portal are correct and reset. 73 Dalibor OK2PEN (PY2ZEN)

Hello I'm wondering who else I should contact (I contacted the local coordinator for 44.170.0.0/16 but he doesn't seem to want to resolve my request) to get an IP address or range. Berry - 9a3bex

Fwd: ARDC is moving to a new grant application system (Hypha)
by John D. Hays 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hello ARDC Grant Applicant or Awardee, As we all know, the only constant in life is change. Here at ARDC, we are making a big one: switching to a new grant application software called Hypha. It’s open source and has a ton of great features that will make the application process easier for applicants, reviewers, and staff. You can see the new system here: https://grants.ardc.net And read more about it here: <https://www.ampr.org/new-grants-management-system-to-make-applying-for-and-…> https://www.ampr.org/new-grants-management-system-to-make-applying-for-and-… Here’s what this change means for you: - *All applications submitted July 15, 2022, and earlier will remain on the old system:* https://mailman.ampr.org/hotcrp. We won’t be getting rid of this database anytime soon, so don’t worry about your information getting lost. - *All applications submitted July 16, 2022, and after will need to be entered in the new system:* https://grants.ardc.net. This includes in-progress applications. The questions are exactly the same, so it should be easy enough to copy over. If you plan on submitting any new applications, you’ll need to create a new account on https://grants.ardc.net by clicking the Apply button. If you have any questions about the new system, or are having trouble applying for a grant, contact us by emailing help(a)ardc.net. Thanks for everything that you do. Sincerely, The ARDC Grants Team

Time to say "Goodbye" ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hi all, Here's what I received that morning from Vultr (my BGP provider), just after a bunch of monitoring alarms : > The prefix owner has requested we remove the following prefix from your account: > > 44.190.11.0/24 > > If you have any questions regarding this request, please reach out to the prefix owner for more information, thanks! Then, our whole island of Corsica is completely disconnected from the rest of the world ! Without any advice. That becomes really annoying. No more comments for today, because I do not have the right words in English to tell my exact feeling. Maybe it's just time to say goodbye. 73 de TK1BI

FIOS Router CR1000A
by Mark Herson, N2MH 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hello to the Group, I have just upgraded my FIOS service in New Jersey and with it came a new router - something called a CR1000A. It has a Verizon brand on it but I suspect it is made under contract by someone else. Has anyone on the group used this router and have been successful in getting it to forward Protocol 4 packets? It does have a DMZ, but I'd rather not use it if possible. I think I have been able to define Protocol 4 into it but I am unable to have it forward those packets to my ipip tunnel machine. 73, Mark, N2MH n2mh.ampr.org http://n2mh-web.n2mh.ampr.org

Hi Rob, I agree 100%. Having two networks that really don't talk to each other but with a common address space is ridiculous. Along the lines you mention, perhaps ARDC should consider a "grant", or perhaps a better word, RFQ from various ISP's who could set up such a thing and run it. This would eliminate all the bickering/discussion of what is the best way/protocol to do something like this as well as determining where to locate POP's around the world. Vultr comes to mind simply because they are doing it for a number of AMPR users already. Of course, other ISP's could do it, but Vultr is the most often mentioned company. I would think that the chosen ISP would set up one AMPR network with connectivity to all 44 network addresses and give an option to any subscriber to have his segment BGP announced or not. 73, Mark, N2MH On 7/19/22 14:16, Rob PE1CHL via 44net wrote: > I hope that, rather sooner than later, we can offer a new connectivity > option for AMPRnet that does not require tricks in your router, does > not depend on a static address, works with CGNAT, etc. > The objective is to use a modern standard VPN instead of IPIP > (wireguard, openvpn, l2tp/ipsec or whatever) to connect to a > relatively local point of presence that will handle the further > routing towards other users and the internet for you, with good > latency and reliability. > That will end the continuous battling with the IPIP mesh that > unfortunately is the reality of today. > Software would run on a standard router (not the router from your ISP, > more like a MikroTik or UBNT or openwrt device), or e.g. a Raspberry Pi. > > We need to lower the bar for making connections.

How to delete old 44 IP
by Dalibor Berka 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hello, As I mentioned in my previous email I got new 44 IPs for amprnet. But my old IPs still appear in the net system. For example: # host ok2pen.ampr.org ok2pen.ampr.org has address 44.63.16.112 ok2pen.ampr.org has address 44.177.10.10 ok2pen.ampr.org mail is handled by 10 ok2pen.ampr.org. 44.63.16.112 is the new correct IP but 44.177.10.10 an old not valid more IP. How can I rid off of that old 44.177.10.10 IP? 73 Dalibor OK2PEN(PY2ZEN) email: ok2pen(a)seznam.cz
