[App_rpt-users] Reliability / Network Stability

[Stephen Curtis]

There have been the occasional issue of nodes not being able to connect which has been down to the database that is downloaded to your node from allstarlink not always being populated with any data. (It has only happened to people who have restarted their node for some reason) This has happened to a few people I know on a small number of occasions. There has been a little chatter about it in related forums but to be honest this is an Amateur System provided to us freely through the kind generosity of a small number of radio hams. I don’t expect it to be a military grade 100% bomb proof system and expect there to be the odd bump along the way!

On another note, connections being dropped are not anything to do with allstarlink it can only be an issue with the individual nodes themselves, internet connectivity etc. All allstarlink is involved with is providing the database telling your node the IP address of all the other nodes in the system. Once you are connected it’s out of there hands.

Thanks again to Steve and all the guys behind the scene…

Cheers
