Well, in my opinion the use of a couple hundred or a
few thousand of our public IP addresses for this purpose, which although it is a closed
system is really an amateur radio related application, is not too bad. Of course when you
have a 44.190/24 network and you use it for other things as well it may be that way, but
we use 256 out of our 65536 addresses in 44.137.0.0/16 and I think that is fine. Even in
44.190 I think you could apply for another /24 when you would desire to do that.
I'm living on an island, with several constraints about Internet
bandwidth, latency and cost in the local data centers. Then, providing
proxies for the rest of the world from here is clearly not a good idea
:-) The scope is to host locally all what we need for our local usage.
About Echolink proxies, anyway, I think it's better to rely on existing
ones in Europe, which seem to be quite well maintained, HI :-)
When I started routing 44.137.0.0/16 on internet, I
filled in some form at Maxmind and some weeks later the location was correctly registered
in their system. But that was over 5 years ago and by now that location has propagated
everywhere.
I did it a while ago, too. I submitted requests to several GeoIP
providers (Maxmind and some others, but I don't remember, and I didn't
find track of it). Now, my 44.190 are geo-located quite correctly in
most software.
