Re: [44net] Obtaining a /16 network for a specific DXCC country (TK) ?

I don;t think you have to wait for BGP and there is no pricing involved. The Hamnet uses private 16 (legacy) and 32 bit AS and is not related in any way to the world wide BGP announcements so no need to wait for anything, since we are doing it inside the 44net address space. And there are no costs additional involved.

Anyway, I'm now designing our future network, and I'd like to know if it would be possible to get a /16 to affirm our identity. If so, that would be the best option for us. If not, we'll use a 44.151.20.x subnet from Ludovic. Actually, I only have an IP-IP tunnel, on the IP address 44.151.20.1, and it works fine. It's a kind of "proof of concept", to help us designing our future network. I'm planning installation in a new datacenter for my company. Then, I'm also thinking about the amateur project, so that our radio-club can benefit of my company's investments. BGP will be available there, in a few months (I hope !). Anyway, networking between Corsica and France uses submarine fiber optics, and adds high latency. "Announcing" French networks in Corsica via BGP, then routing the corresponding traffic to you through our slow links, would not have much sense. Then, I'm also investigating about how to "announce" BGP subnets from datacenters in France, at pricing compatible with amateur budgets ;-) As said before, for now, I'm on the "design" and "alpha tests" phases. I'll open a WEB/mail server, and probably a mailing-list, about our "TKNet" network. I'll invite you, and we'll be able to discuss technical/local aspects, also with Ludovic and others. But you'll have to wait a few weeks ;-) _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
