Hi All,
I wonder if anyone has noticed these node table entries that I
captured on my local netrom node this morning
#TMP:G0MBA-1 #TMP:VK4TTT-14 #TMP:GM0FTJ-4 #TMP:G7BUG-9
#TMP:N0LBA #TMP:ZL1BQ-14 #TMP:GB7BED-8 #TMP:GB7BED-9
#TMP:IK5CKL-14 #TMP:G7DIR-2 #TMP:GB7DID #TMP:M1CMN-2
#TMP:G8PZT #TMP:GB7SYP-1 #TMP:ZL2AQY-2 #TMP:ZL2AL-2
#TMP:ZL2AQY-10 #TMP:GB7WE
Now I have seen a few of these before but not looked into
the matter. Does anyone know how these entries are created
and where they might come from ??
They are very annoying as they reduce the apparent
reliability of the network as while they exist they
overwrite the valid entries so a normal request to
connect to 'KIDDER' for example results in a
'no such node' response even though a connect to
G8PZT will still connect ok.
I'm not sure how long these corrupt entries will last in
the table. It is hard to track the source as because of
the way netrom works I suspect that nodes broadcasts
from the genuine node correct the entries each hour
but those corrections take several hours to be passed
around the network so if I visit other neighbouring
nodes I see a seeming random occurence of these entries
with no real idea of where they entered the network.
While writing this I wonder if there could be a version
of node software out there that might give those tempory
entries that are created when a distant 'unknown' node
makes a connection and creates those tempory entries that
usually appear at the top of the table without a name.
I wonder if software could exist that actually gives those
entries a tempory name of #TMP and then sends them out out
in its nodes broadcasts to overwrite the genuine name on
the network.
I'd be interested in anyone elses thoughts or observations
as it would be good to find a fix for this problem.
