Hi all,
Le 20/02/2020 à 08:37, Ruben ON3RVH via 44Net a écrit :
However, the allocation should always be in the portal
and approved by your countries coordinator. Afaik an allocation that is not in the portal
is technically not valid.
I also have a subnet that is not in the portal... Here are the details :
As we are an island, we developed a specific network topology, which
uses two central gateways in data centers, and what we call "TKBoxes"
(formally, OpenWRT/OpenVPN boxes which establish communications with the
two data centers in a Plug-and-play manner over any Internet provider).
Our initial routing scheme was using private addressing (10.44.0.0/16)
and we are gradually migrating to AMPRNet / HamNet addressing.
My current subnets are :
- 44.190.11.0/24 : Declared in the portal, currently announced via BGP
on Internet, and hosting production services facing public Internet
(WEB, XLX, VoIP, etc...)
- 44.168.80.0/23 : Allocated directly with the 44.168.0.0/16 French
coordinator, but *not* declared in the portal yet. It's currently in use
(80% of our old 10.44.0.0 net has been migrated to it). But it's
currently not routed outside of the island. It's still unclear if I
should route it via eBGP over Internet (and probably having trouble with
the rest of the European HamNet), if I should route it only with HamNet
schemes (IP-IP tunnels and iBGP with EU neighbors), or both. After
several discussions here and in private mail with the involved people, I
think the best solution would be to follow DG8NGN's advice, and keep
separate routing schemes :
- 44.190.11.0/24 is an Internet subnet and should be routed on
Internet via BGP
- 44.168.80.0/23 is a Hamnet subnet, with absolutely no need to be
routed on public Internet, and should be routed only with Hamnet techniques
Anyway, as everybody knows ;-) this is done only on our free time. No
formal decision has been taken yet about the routing technique to be
used for 44.168.80.0/23, and no routing of that subnet exists for now
outside of our island. It's in the TODO list, but not done yet ;-)
Then, I agree with you : in an ideal world, all subnets should be
registered in the portal. Anyway, I don't think removing all what is not
in the portal (yet) without any discussion would be a brilliant idea...
