Hi All,
I'm interested in building a tcp packet network for my local town. Theres no packet activity here, apart from aprs. The local club are generally focused on competitions, but there is a local hackspace in it's infancy with a number of people interested in doing 'something cool' with packet.
So, I've been in touch with the UK ampr co-ordinator, and am now administering our local /24. Given I have a clean slate what subnetting approaches have people found that work well, maybe subnets for different technologies dstar, ip over x25 packet etc. In the UK I understand there's essentially no routing, but have read about routing being used in the US, what are the reasons?
I don't currently have a fixed IP, so am currently unable to provide 44 net access to the rest of the world unless I can come up with something clever, or a fixed IP. Has anyone successfully implemented a workaround, maybe an ip tunnel from another host with a fixed ip?
If anyone has any documents on any aspects of ampr network design, or links I'd be very interested in taking a look. I want to get as much right first time as possible.
-Cheers Max G7UOZ
Slides from a presentation I gave a couple of months ago http://www.microhams.com/digitalconf2012/K7VE_N7IPB_RebootNET44.pdf
Some of the tunneling protocols don't require a fixed IP -- I tunnel a /24 network from a data center to my home (and also a portable subnet) using L2TP.
