Hi Chris,
Life at Ofcom has overtaken amateur radio activity almost totally for the
last 3 1/2 years but I'm starting to "emerge" again, I'm sure that you
understand life's nasty way of getting in the way of hobby time.
A number of D-STAR services are still hosted on my servers, including the
central dsync reporting tool (
http://dsync.dstar.info/ is the public
reporting page but there is an extensive admin portal too) and also some
reflectors including REF006 (
http://ref006.dstargateway.org/ ). The
servers are due to be re-homed to an A&A data centre, where a few of the
staff are amateurs. Some of the D-STAR gateway admins have previously asked
about accessing services via
ampr.org IP addresses; do you think that this
would be an appropriate use of the resource?
Tentatively I asked A&A if they could BGP advertise a subnet of
ampr.org
and they'd be happy to do that, so it's more of a question of whether
D-STAR services for hams would be okay to provide via AMPRNet? Are there
any rules that would prevent the dsync pages being dual homed via public IP
space and
ampr.org IP space? Has anyone managed to regularly route digital
voice (UDP) over AMPRNet?
Sorry for all the questions but I know that you will know the answers...
