Re: [44net] Network Monitor Of Gateways ?

Two points to consider. A gateway doesn't have an AMPR IP address. It supports a range of addresses, and only those in the DNS will be reachable from non-AMPR addresses, Which will you ping? Some gateway software will not accept any packets from non-AMPR addresses to its AMPR address range. On your original question, I currently have 530 gateways in my list. I'd consider every 5 minutes a bit excessive, even if spread over the 5 minute interval. Others may disagree! 73, John G8BPQ -----Original Message----- From: 44Net [mailto:44net-bounces+john.wiseman=cantab.net@hamradio.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of R P Sent: 01 March 2016 07:39 To: AMPRNet working group Subject: Re: [44net] Network Monitor Of Gateways ?

I think it would be unwise to set up multiple network monitors -- one or two should be enough. Please be respectful of your network neighbors. - Brian On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 08:46:10PM +0100, Jean-Marc Magnier wrote: to _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
