Hi Paul, Unfortunately Perry is shortly leaving us and NZ so it would be best if you dealt with me regarding AMP. I'm replying on list just in case anyone else is vaguely interested. We use a standardised hardware platform for AMP monitors. They are supermicro 1U rackmount servers running debian linux. The AMP project is not currently funded and so we ask if potential hosts are able to pay the purchase cost of a machine. We require a static IP address (preferably v6 as well as v4) and a single ethernet connection (preferably gigabit - for MTU and latency reasons, not bandwidth). The connection is best if it is not behind any firewall, or at least a minimally intrusive firewall. The basic information we require is that in the form at http://wand.net.nz/amp/questions.php Last time we measured, most AMP monitors were had combined in and out traffic of between 15 and 25 MB per day although this will have gone up a little with an increase in the number of deployed monitors and the DNS testing. Apart from some of the DNS queries all the traffic should be to NZ destinations. The destinations are those listed on the AMP website - other AMP monitors, DNS servers, some high profile NZ websites and the management system here at Waikato. We manage and secure the machines from Waikato. Logins for local hosts are available. If there is anything else you need to know, just ask. Richard Nelson. On 22/06/10 09:23, Paul Tinson wrote:
Hi Perry,
What is involved and required to host an AMP node? If you could send me the details I can see what we can do on our end to locate on in a suitable part of the network.
