Not intending to hyjack the thread here.... but isn't this backwards?
shouldn't the encap be built from the rip announcements rather than the
reverse? I.E. rip being the current reality vs the encap being more of a
statement of network architecture.

Brian replicates the portal database in realtime local to where his RIP
server is and uses the live database to populate the routing announcements.
I'm not sure how often the RIP software polls the database, but I'm sure
Brian can enlighten us...
I'm in the process of adding the portal code to a subversion repository
and once that has been completed I will probably open source it. In the
meantime if anyone wants to assist with developing the portal code or with
translations into other languages, please get in touch.
Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris,
Do you know how timely the multicast RIP announcements are? Are they
sent out
every time someone re-configures a gateway on the portal? Is
there some scheduled re-broadcast of all routes?
Also, where is the source code for all this?
Thanks for any details,
--Bart

to access the encap file directly from it in the first place, that kind of
access was never documented, nor was it ever intended to be used like that.

have had a couple of people asking about an API which I may

via FTP.

http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net Something changed with the encap file download
process. The script
that builds our IPIP tunnels uses "curl
https://portal.ampr.org/getdata.php" to download the encap data. A few
days ago this was working just fine. Now the returned file is empty.
Loading that url with a web browser also returns an empty page.
However, if I click the "download encap" link at
https://portal.ampr.org/gateways_list.php, it works fine. Some funky
session bug, I assume.
Please fix this issue, or point me towards the documentation that
explains a better way to get the encap data.
