[Dxspider-support] A new version...

[Anthony (N2KI)]

Before doing and upgrade I suppose I should be at the latest version of
PERL.  Where do I find the version I have?  Thanks

One of the interesting questions that will need to be answered is 
whether this protocol will scale over an RF link. It may be that there 
is too much routing information for an RF link to carry, in which case 
it will require a set/isolate that will stop the routing info going 
across that RF link (hopefully, fingers crossed, 'cos I haven't tested 
it much).

I should also say that as more people use it, there will probably be 
things crawling out of the code that I haven't experienced yet, but with 
the new "instant" CVS server, they will be dealt with quickly. It will 
also be possible to rewind back to 1.53 if I find that the problems are 
overwhelming (can't see why, but it is possible).

For a bit of fun, here is my current configuration:

The :2 and :3 are some debugging that will help me nail any problems.

If you look carefully (and this is not mangled too much by thunderbird), 
you will see a) loops and b) more than two levels of node connection. As 
each new style node comes on, it will link itself into the tree at the 
correct point - the tree can now grow to many levels. You can also see 
where the loops are (eg: GB7XDX).

The protocol (is designed to and) *does* deal with loops :-) It will 
automatically span the tree in the most efficient way, because nodes 
know - for certain - whether they have had that routing broadcast already.
