All,
Many have posted good responses on what would be needed to continue this project. I
don't want to repeat any good suggestions (which I am also re-reading); but wanted to
add a few; as I originally requested a subnet for the purpose of peering with Amateur
Digital Radio Communications, or up to consideration of a Layer 1 connections to PoPs (I
am working on such arraignments for our area using multi-homed non-commercial means).
I have polished up on my BGP routing concepts and found these things:
- in the MDC section, we would be seeking local peers via other non-commercial backbones
- Doing BGP, the assumption we were to arrange at least layer 1 connectivity (via wireless
and/or terrestrial [our area is fiber or greater to peer] which we're working on), at
least back to Brian, this will require an AS Number
- the concern in my area, want to pursue non-commercial means of announcement, redundancy
to the non-commercial/commercial backbone, etc, in case the commercial network went down
- Internet2.edu is being built out from stimulus funds, it is primarily non-commercial -
just a thought, and a path we're looking into
- I am willing to assist in this endeavor, and would like to sit-in on a conference call,
if convened
- There are other networks I'm sure are willing to carry a VLANs over their fiber
- BGP to a PoP for most who wishes to peer with us would require us to really lobby our
CFR Title 47 §97.1(a), that we have other Peers willing to provide Layer 1 Transport
(working on this) - I see no need for us to work seperately, and wanted to mention this
Anyone interested in being homed with another Autonomous System, please consider working
with together on a National Amateur Wireless Society, if we receive International
Interest, we may have to see other regional interest. Also, would a regional authority be
willing to donate us an AS number (made requests)?
