Re: [44net] BGP announcement questions ?

Yes, you are right. But if the user near you is not an authorized ham radio operator, and if he will use ham radio links, that is illegal. So, unless you can guarantee that there will be no ham specific on-the-air activity, it is ok. But usually, since this is a amateur radio network, there is no reason why a regular internet user should have direct access to the 44 address space. If he is a ham radio operator, he can join 44net, if not, he can use public IPs, where the gateway can provide public access to selected services. The ampr gateway actually creates a filter, by preventing direct forwarding between ampr subnets and selective IP access, so a regular internet user can only connect via tunnels to registered hosts (in this case meaning hosts with an DNS entry). At least this is how I see things.

I never used BGP before. Here's a example. Please correct if I'm misunderstading something : - Let's assume I'm managing the 44.151.20.0/24 subnet locally in my area - Let's assume 44.151.20.1 is a web server located in my local datacenter, in a DMZ : HamNet users with 44.x IPs can access it; but I want it to be accessible also from Internet Actually, I'm using an IP-IP tunnel. The actual route from Internet to 44.151.20.1 is via amprgw.sysnet.ucsd.edu, in California. Then, an user on Internet located just near me, that wants to reach my web server, has to go to ucsd (via Internet), then back to me (via IP-IP tunnel). This implies a 350ms latency !!! The purpose of BGP would be to announce the 44.151.20.0/24 locally from my datacenter. This would be a world wide BGP announcement, on Internet. Then, people from Internet needing to reach my web server, would get a shorter path, without having to transit via California. Did i miss, or misunderstand something ? Sorry, this link is about "mobile country code"... _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
