Re: [44net] Map game for mikrotik routers

Marius, A few questions about the dynamic map: 1) How long does it take for an entry to appear on the map? I manually entered the following URL into a browser (three times) but I don't see it on the map (CA, USA). http://44.182.21.1:59001/generic?id=n6mef@cm97aj 2) How long does an entry remain on the map after the last time you heard from it? Dynamic is nice, but if a gateway is down for maintenance, it would still be good to know that it exists. 3) Follow-up to #2: Most similar applications (winlink2K, irlp) use the colors or status tables to represent status (green=up, red=down, etc.). That would be more useful to me as a sysadmin than how the information was learned (which I realize is useful to you). For example, colors could represent age of information: green="heard from within the last hour", yellow="... within the last day", red="... within the last week". After that, if falls off the map. That would give us a hint as to whether the machine is more likely to be temporarily or permanently down. Would you consider? 4) Have you given any thought to Brian's suggestion that the input be in the DNS LOC record format, rather than callsign@maidenhead? It seems like a good way to use your infrastructure while preparing for integration with more "standard" tools later. Michael N6MEF
