Re: [44net] 44net cool toys - not

The moment you start building a high speed network which is ham-only, you don't need ripd and stuff anymore, except on edge routers. Insisde that network, all addresses can be 44s, and no tunneling is needed. And inside one can do a lot of that fancy BGP/OSPF stuff. (HAMNET in DE and AT is a good example) Access for hams can be via a simple second network card dedicated to 44.0.0.0/8 WiFi access, so no content issue arrises. And VPNs can offer a good isolation method on dual stacked networks. As an example, my home network is done using private IPs (192.168.x.x), with the usual public IP gateway. My desktop machine connects via VPN to my local router providing a 44 address for that specific machine (and forwarding the 44 traffic to my 44net gateway). Usual traffic goes via local IPs, ham traffic (44.0.0.0/8) via VPN to the gateway. All other users in my home are on private IPs only with no access to 44net. Only traffic from my 44 address to 44 addresses go via VPN, the rest is regulary routed and NATed.

It would probably help to have our own custom firmware or recommended hardware. I have to admit, I have been doing everything on a raspberry pi with a usb ethernet dongle for the second port. I haven't tried to install the custom rip daemon on something like a WRT54G or ?? Then there is the issue of how to integrate 44net into your home network. _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
