Some of the tunneling protocols don't require a fixed IP -- I tunnel a /24 network from a data center to my home (and also a portable subnet) using L2TP.

Hi All,

I'm interested in building a tcp packet network for my local town.
Theres no packet activity here, apart from aprs. The local club are
generally focused on competitions, but there is a local hackspace in
it's infancy with a number of people interested in doing 'something
cool' with packet.

So, I've been in touch with the UK ampr co-ordinator, and am now
administering our local /24. Given I have a clean slate what subnetting
approaches have people found that work well, maybe subnets for different
technologies dstar, ip over x25 packet etc. In the UK I understand
there's essentially no routing, but have read about routing being used
in the US, what are the reasons?

I don't currently have a fixed IP, so am currently unable to provide 44
net access to the rest of the world unless I can come up with something
clever, or a fixed IP. Has anyone successfully implemented a workaround,
maybe an ip tunnel from another host with a fixed ip?

If anyone has any documents on any aspects of ampr network design, or
links I'd be very interested in taking a look. I want to get as much
right first time as possible.

-Cheers Max G7UOZ
