Re: [44net] ASN # and Network Service Provider (NSP)

This is a perfect example of things that would benefit from a "New Generation" 44net connection. F/ex, Internet users could be allow to listen only, while 44net users could be allowed (under some circumstances) to transmit, too. That's a common problem for people who build Internet-related applications (such as Echolink, DMR, etc...) : How to ensure users coming from Internet are legitimate ham radio operators ? Everybody adopts its own solution, with more or less problems, but always with a huge overhead. If we can provide a network-level authentication on 44net (still to be defined), then, the application developers would just have to focus on their app, and not about user authentication. Checking whether an user is a legitimate ham radio or not would be as simple as checking if the source IP is in the 44net range... 73 de TK1BI
