Hello, 44net!
This week we're doing our first office hours:
Thurs. 12 Nov
18:00 UTC (10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET)
Will go to about 20:00 UTC
Full Zoom invite below this message.
Following our community call on Oct. 10, folks at ARDC have started to
put together some thinking around 44net maintenance and improvement.
This is especially true for Chris (G1FEF), who knows the most about the
technological and administrative aspects of running the portal.
Some items from his list include:
* Improving logic using Laravel open source framework (Laravel framework
enables easy internationalization)
* Improving presentation, e.g. for use on mobile
* Create workflows to improve admin tasks
...and that really just scratches the surface. Learn more on Thursday!
If you are someone who is interested in 44net development, please join
us at this Thursday's meeting! If you can't make it, feel free to share
your thoughts via email. Note that we have a growing list of thoughts
from previous messages and the survey to be prioritized as part of this
work.
Speaking of prioritization, as part of this effort to improve 44net,
we'll be putting the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) back together.
The first job of the TAC will be to discuss, test, review, and
collaborate on the work being done on the Portal. More information for
how to apply to the TAC to come as soon as possible.
In the meantime, hope you can join us on Thursday and share your
thoughts here.
Many thanks,
Rosy

Hi David,
> Chris: Are you the official administrator of the AMPRGW FreeBSD host now?
Yes, I am.
I’ve been doing some tests from the gw and it looks like there is some packet loss upstream depending on which route the packets are going, for example I ran a 100 count ping to one of my servers in the UK and got no packet loss at all with a consistent RTT:
--- 85.199.212.83 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 147.366/147.491/151.369/0.409 ms
Then I ran a test to 98.143.158.201 (the IP WB7AWL was using for his test) and I got 2% loss with varying RTT:
--- 98.143.158.201 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 98 packets received, 2.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.514/12.592/209.460/30.918 ms
I’ve repeated these tests a few times and looked at the routes taken and it does seem to indicate that the gw machine itself is not the issue. I will have a discussion with the folks at UCSD and let you know what transpires.
Regards,
Chris
Good Evening Folks,
Is something going on with the gateway...????? I just noticed this today:
--- ampr.org ping statistics ---
92 packets transmitted, 72 received, 21% packet loss, time 91427ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 33.320/41.448/51.167/2.890 ms
As opposed to:
--- aa6hf.ampr.org ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 99146ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 47.409/56.381/70.304/4.552 ms
Pings to my commercial IP (from my network at work) are 100%.....but pings to ampr.org (from my network at work) are showing dropped packets as well.

Hi,
My pings seem stable, although high at around 200ms, they are consistent.
Endpoint is in the UK

Albert,
Yes, something is wrong:
root@OpenWrt:~# ping 44.0.0.1 -I 44.60.44.1 -A -c 100 -s 22 -q
PING 44.0.0.1 (44.0.0.1) from 44.60.44.1: 22 data bytes
--- 44.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 79 packets received, 21% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 66.029/66.446/69.157 ms
You all can test from my end: http://kb3vwg-010.ampr.org/tools/ping/php-ping44.php

Hi!
First I want to thanks the ampr group and especially G1FEF for providing me a /24 that I am in the process of being bgp annonce with a vultr vps in NJ.
If what I am about to talk dont fit in the group, please let me know, I will move this else where.
I am in no mean a network guru but I understand concept pretty easily. SO I am planning my /24 as this.
the VPS at vultr will use Bird to annonce the route, I will use only the default route provided by vultr.
>From there I created a dummy interface that have my /24 as its IP.
I then want to make a VPN server to distribute the net and ip to remote site I have that use a mix of hardwired and wireless connection. The routers are all edgerouter-x from ubiquity they will all eventually be interconnected by 2 sources, the hardwired provided by many ISP and the wireless that I am building as a redundancy. If one sources fail, the router will fall back to the other link. the prefered links will always be the hardwired, the wireless is the backup. (some of the links are 40 Km long, but most are 5-6 Km and the smallest is under 1 Km.)
>From those edge router I will have connection to the vpn and every router will have a dhcp server that will serve a part or the /24 like 16 ip for each site. (I have 3 site right now) and I will have fixed IP at each site for the repeaters and aprs gateways.
Now the configuration of the vpn is my first problem. should I have the vpn server listening on the ipv4 address of vultr or should I made it listen to the dummy interface?
I think this is juste the beginning of my quest!

Hi!
I asked a few months ago for a /24 so I could advertise it by BGP on a vultr server. I had receive a request to fill up a form, but for personal reason I was not able to pursue the project.
rewind to end of september and I redo the request, fill out the form and do everything in order, well I hope, but it was delayed cause the emails I was receiving kept going into the spam folder..
Sent a few email back to ask the status, if my form was filled ok, I had no answer. I am just wondering if I did something wrong or if the request is en route.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask.

Hello 44net!
In our video call on Oct. 10, I heard from folks that they were
interested in more regular meetings and office hours.
So - let's give the office hours a try! I'll be online for two hours on
Thurs. Nov. 12 @ 17:00 UTC (10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST).
Link to the video call will be posted in advance.
Looking forward to chatting with you soon!
All the best,
Rosy

> Is the European Asterisk/DUNDI/AMPRNet voip network you describe
below documented somewhere? I tried to google around but did not find
anything.
There is some scattered information, e.g. this at DB0WA:
https://www.afu.rwth-aachen.de/projekte/hamnet/anwendungen/sip-telefoniehttps://www.afu.rwth-aachen.de/projekte/hamnet/infos-fuer-betreiber/dundi-n…
This page also describes a crawler for such nodes and shows a map, but I
think this crawler
is dead as the map shows information from last year and has not been
updated since.
That is probably related to the renumbering of the German/Austrian network.
(as you know these networks ended up being in the part that was sold)
I don't know if the network itself is still actively maintained or if it
is just an experiment that
is not interesting to its inventers anymore and just keeps running until
the servers crash,
someone turns them off, or a disruption such as the renumbering occurs.
At least locally
for me it works fine, but I use it mainly for calls to one other person
who is on the same
PBX as I am.
