Re: [44net] Tunnel mesh is (mostly) down

Wouldn't the simplest solution be to modify the rip44 process so it doesn't delete routes that haven't been announced for a while, or at least for a much longer period? IPIP tunnels and RIP have the major advantage that they allow those who have a dynamic IP address to participate in net44. I feel it is important that we remember that we are radio hams first, and should use solutions that can be used by the majority of hams, not just those network professionals who want to play a being an ISP. 73, John G8BPQ -----Original Message----- From: 44net-bounces+john.wiseman=cantab.net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu [mailto:44net-bounces+john.wiseman=cantab.net@hamradio.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of Rob Janssen Sent: 03 January 2015 09:20 To: 44net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu Subject: [44net] Tunnel mesh is (mostly) down (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ The tunnel mesh went down today at about 08:20 UTC. Most of our routes have disappeared, are no longer being advertised on RIP. The portal.ampr.org site is not responding anymore. It looks like the portal is no longer distributing correct information to the RIP server and so the RIP server sends incomplete broadcasts and the ampr-ripd deletes the routes. Is there some fallback scenario, e.g. loading a last correct list of routes by the RIP server to make the network come back up in the state it was just before the mishap?
