Hi Jochen First, you sent me an email asking if I would like to test my software on your system several weeks ago - I apologise that I have been so busy, that I haven't gotten round to it yet !
Second. I have some questions about your X-Trust system: 1) Each user requires a unique /28 IP address, with the subnet zero address being used as the first registration point. In order for one station to contact another, they essentially use source-routing between the two /28 IP addresses. Is your system designed to generate unique 10.X.X.X/28 IP addresses across both your and any connected Trust Servers ? For example, if I register on your system, will it check that the /28 subnet is unique on both your system and the K5TIT system before allocating it ? 2) The Icom system uses a system of snapshot updates. In other words, the full database should only be sent once when the Zone RP registers. After that, only updates are sent to each Zone RP. That keeps the network bandwidth down. In the G2 Test network, this is exactly what I see - stations moving repeaters are synchronised within seconds. Unfortunately, I suspect due to the sheer size of the database, the Live G2 system does not do this, and sends full databases every few hours. The database tables are getting very big - the SQL processing time can be longer than the time between updates. On your system, do you send full databases or snapshot updates ? 3) The Icom G2 software is able to identify that an IP address has changed - in the UK, it is quite normal for the public, routable IP address of an ADSL line to change many times a day, usually as the service policy changes (for example, there are packages that offer higher throughputs during the night than at busy times). My own public IP changes around 6 times a day. Can you software cope with this ? 4) I am glad that you are in discussions with the K5TIT team - having witnessed first-hand the sheer annoyance of being within range of a D-Star repeater on a different G2 network, I would hate to see isolated, disconnected pockets of coverage. 73 David - G4ULF --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "Jochen Althoff" <alth...@...> wrote: > > Hello Group, > > for evryone who like to do some tests or who want's to join the > trust, please feel free to register with: > xtrust2.xreflector.net > This setting for this may be done in the dsipsvd.conf located in > /opt/products/dstar/dstar_gw/dsipsvd/ > in the line beginning with > TRUST_SERVER = > The xtrust team will see your registration request and will accept it > within > 24h, independent of the system you are using (ICOM or non ICOM). > All Systems will be supported to strictly follow the idea of hamradio > and <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=to> to > <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=meet> meet > <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=the> the > <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=demands> demands on > the german law.
