I accidentally sent this to the list :( ---
I need the FTP credentials. Also, I'd like to work to come up with filters
to format the data for common non-JNOS IPIP implementations. I'm thinking
Linux, Mikrotik Routers, etc.
I also think with some gateways going BGP to the Internet, some IPIP
tunnels will disappear, but in their place we may need have a tool to build
VPN tunnel (as well as IPIP) configurations for inexpensive routers like
Mikrotik. I think this may actually become the model. BGP gateways for
Internet connection, with each supporting subnet using IPIP or VPN back to
the BGP gateway.

There have been a few enquiries regarding how to retrieve the encap.txt
and gateways file from the new system:
You can use FTP by connecting to the host: portal.ampr.org
The username and password is the same as the old system (please drop me an
email if you don't know it).
Once you have created an account on the portal, if you click on the top
menu link "Gateways" then click on "Options" on the second menu line
a page
is displayed where you can enter an email address and select the frequency
you wish to receive the encap.txt file. From that point on it will be
emailed to the address you have entered. If the email address field is
blank, you will NOT be emailed the encap.txt file.
If you click on "List" from the "Gateways" menu, you can also
download the
latest encap.txt file from the link at the top of this page.
The download link on the "List" page is "live" data, i.e. if someone
updates their gateways entry, it will appear in the database immediately
and so the moment you browse to that page, or refresh that page, you have
the very latest data. The file on the FTP site is updated only when a
change occurs, there is a cronjob that polls the database every 5 minutes
and updates the file if anything changed, so the FTP file will at worst be
5 minutes out of date.
With regards to the "gateways" file that was available on the old system:
we did not believe that this file was very useful as all the data it
contained is now on the portal. However, there have been a few people ask
about it. If this file is being used, then let me know and I can put work
in to create the file on the FTP site. If it's not important then don't
bother contacting me and I won;t spend the time on it ;-)
