Implementation of services and usage is pretty relevant, as long as it results in doing something fun.
I too have raised the question "couldn't we just use 10/8?". The answer has been made pretty clear the last few weeks and I am onboard. The answer is, really "44/8 can or can not be routed globally and it's up to you what you do with it, how you route it, and if you route it at all". Some discussion of "if I put this online, how will that talk to your same thing" is far from a wasted discussion IMHO.
But hey, if we're back on the "tell me something DIFFERENT you're doing on 44/8 or shut up" or how we "shouldnt be doing anything unless its _something vague and non-specific_ and stop asking me what that might be" then I am happy to QSY.

It seems to be that discussion about how SIP works, or what a URI is, or what SRV records are, or how service discovery can be realized on a global IP network would be relevant to *any* IP network. Surely there are more appropriate forums for such discussion. Surely such forums have a deeper and broader base of experience more equipped to field these concerns. Surely, if these problems can be solved, the internet at large should benefit.
Perhaps I do not understand the point of 44net. Is the point not to build an RF network that is part of the internet, but rather to discuss how hams might build an isolated network for their own needs while squatting on a full 0.4% of the IPv4 address space for no reason at all?
Let me put it more bluntly: if what you are discussing could work on 10/8 just as well as it could work on 44/8, then please consider that maybe your discussion isn't very inspired. Having a full /8 block of potentially globally routable IP addressing space available to the amateur radio service is a unique opportunity, one that could not feasibly be purchased today, and one that has been largely squandered thus far. If you don't immediately understand what unique opportunity 44/8 presents, then perhaps you are not a very good network engineer and you should consider talking less and listening more carefully. _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net@hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
