I think now that this is under change we could suggest moving
everything to AMPRnet
and it should solve the NAT problem there is now. Maybe the directory
server could
have both an AMPRnet and a public address to resolve remaining issues.
Well, I have a VPS in Melbourne, which runs IRLP reflector 9550, among
other things. I currently have a /28 of public (non AMPR) IPs, which
are fully utilisied by Echolink. I could ask about getting a /24 BGP
announced, so I could participate.
One thing I am not seeing addressed by this proposal is what happens
with the nodes themselves, which are the the most problematic part of
Echolink (and IRLP) due to their incompatibility with NAT (requiring
port forwarding to work at all).
