For the IRLP network, in the last roughly 18 months, we have issued VPN connections for
over 230 repeaters, plus roughly 60% of our backend infrastructure is using BGP routed
44-net addresses. Basically from service providers in Chicago, Sydney and Indianapolis.
Those cities were chosen because the lion's share of the IRLP network is in North
America and Australia. There are a number of IRLP nodes in .UK, but we found that
performance through Chicago is more than adequate. We could light up service from
additional locations in the future, but we try to use our existing infrastructure
locations, to keep the costs down.
We started using 44-net for IRLP back in 2015. A few folks have been using 44 for far
longer.

Hi all,

Allstarlink are using 44 net space and are giving
a great service to link repeaters. I already give to them from time to time.
The Brandmeister server team could also be supported. (As an admin of the canadian
server I do have some personal interest. )
But in fact, very few of us have their digital voice systems connected through AMPRNet /
HamNet addressing.
- Only one VPN server in the East coast of the US does not have much sense in terms of
latency for world-wide users, mostly for VoIP applications. Pings are far too long. To be
efficient, VPN servers must be closer from people (by country, or at least, by continent)
