Ah ok. So this isn't a GRE solution, it would require someone either
running the original 'bridge', or this same program at the remote end?

I have not written anything specifically to make it a GRE endpoint (if that
is the right term). It can work as a direct replacement for the bridge in
that it can talk the same protocols. In other words on a LAN it implements
the DECnet Ethernet interface, and it also accepts the UDP packet format
processed by the bridge. The difference being of course that it does not
bridge the networks, instead it routes between your local Ethernet(s) and
the "Ethernet" that comes in over the UDP interface.
I hope that explains it.

Does that work with GRE on Linux? I never got GRE with not IP to work on
FreeBSD due to strangeness with bpf.
Paul's python router talks GRE natively. Not sure how well tested that is
though as I never got it setup before the colo box getting shut off.

A GRE tunnel won't do much good if he can't route DECnet packets over it.
Is there a reasonable Linux DECnet router? If not, you may want to try
out Paul's python one.

Oh ok. I'm sorry, I misunderstood.
I can set up a temporary GRE tunnel with you this afternoon if you
like, until we can get you folded into Brian's tunnel configuration
management system. Let me know.

Sorry if it wasn't clear... Two different threads had a little
cross-posting I think. Here I'm just trying to establish a solid
HECnet peer. Johnny-bridge would have been preferable since I'm
running this on my NAS (and I know 'bridge' works), but if a GRE peer
is easier to find, by all means. While my QNAP NAS does have several
tunneling options in its stock config (it's linux arm), it appears
they did not include the ip_gre module, so I'll have to see about
hacking that in. Assuming that goes well, who's solidly offering the
GRE tunnel? We can exchange IP's and configs off-list.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

I thought you and I were only discussing some X.25 experimentation.
If you want a full-on HECnet connection via GRE, Brian Hechinger can
stick your info in his database, and tunnel configurations will be
automatically generated for all of us on his next run.

Seems rather counter to the idea of HECnet if it's this difficult to

There are definitely people running the bridge in the US, but if
they want to peer is another story.

I'm going to try getting a GRE tunnel going with Dave McGuire

already running 'bridge' (which would be simplest) let me
know.

I'm not using the virtual cisco for HECnet at all,
that's only for the

additionally).
For HECnet I'm just running a plain old fashioned
Johnny-bridge. :)
I take it HECnet peers are lacking in the U.S.?
I guess I should put my Python router up permanently...
