Re: [44net] Use cases

We are using IP allocations so that we can have a routed IP packet network. Not all of the node on the Eastnet system are IP routing capable but many are. Some of these segments of the RF network are bridged together with IP connections. The long term goal is to have all the node RF linked and IP routing enabled on them. While it's much slower than the internet, it's a network within our own control in times of emergencies. https://www.eastnetpacket.org/index.shtml https://www.eastnetpacket.org/Maps/ Brian N2KGC -----Original Message----- From: 44Net [mailto:44net-bounces+radiowebst=yahoo.com@mailman.ampr.org] On Behalf Of Lynn Grant via 44Net Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2021 4:59 PM To: 44net General Discussion Cc: Lynn Grant Subject: [44net] Use cases Greetings, I have been a ham for over 50 years (though not recently active), and have been involved with networks for about 20, so I am following the recent discussions with great interest. While I can understand in general terms what might be done with hybrid Internat-ham radio links, I would find it very useful to see examples of what other hams are currently doing with them. Would it be possible to have a few hams do short write-ups on what they are doing, and put them on the ARDC home page? Right now, it seems heavily skewed towards how to set up the networking end of things (which, of course, is very important, and something that hams new to networking could use some help with), with not much attention given to "Why would I want to do this?"
