Re: [44net] SIP on AMPRNet and announcing services

I'm not quite sure about the "announcement" aspect of it. Are we talking announcements similar to BGP or ZeroConf that was mentioned earlier? What kind of announcements are being made now on LAN networks beyond printer/fileshare/UPnP for all of which you wouldn't want to have advertised in such a fashion over the WAN (even 44net - seeing how people get bent out of shape whenever any 'foreign' packet hits their firewall). But to throw out a list... -NNTP/Usenet Servers - Possibly gateway BBS/FBB into NNTP -Common Databases - Callsign Database, Maidenhead and the like -Streaming Audio/Video - repeaters, remote receivers, sarex, ATV feeds or whatever you want to toss up there. -Video Conferencing - but I'm still struggling getting this working properly in the real world for public consumption... so may be a stretch goal. -Latency tolerant games like Chess, Poker... even TradeWars. -Internet of Things - Feed/Entertain my cat for me when I'm traveling... -Cameras - Not necessarily streaming... but for a while there on the internet, we could watch the sun set in tahiti while freezing in minneapolis... Let's hope it doesn't turn into ham radio #selfies :) On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Eric Fort <eric.fort(a)gmail.com> wrote: > (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) > _______________________________________________ > Well, enum comes to mind. > > Eric > > > On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 4:09 PM, <lleachii(a)aol.com> wrote: > > > (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) > > _______________________________________________ > > Eric, > > > > Actually, there are some SIP servers on AMPRNet already; and I'm capable > > of standing up a SIP server at my station.
