FOOD FOR THOUGHT =================================================================

To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask
yourself this question:

Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?

EDITORIAL =================================================================

The NETSTATS program

In the Fidonews issue FNEWSV47 from 24 Nov 2014 I wrote the following editorial:

< -- snip -- >

In the late 1980s Justin Marquez of 1:106/100 wrote a program that
analysed the nodelist and created quite a lot of statistics. It was
written in TurboPascal 5 and an unknown number of versions existed
before the final release to the world, v2.0. It was released at July
13, 1989.

In May 28, 2001 the former Fidonews editor, Frank Vest, silently
published the first output from the program, and since then it's been
a standing article, now in the Special Interest column.

Now, as we all know, a lot have happened to Fidonet since 1989, the
output from the program has become more and more obsolete -- and some-
times even erroneous, something that has been pointed out to me
several times, and I've tried to correct it as the reports have been
made.

But now I've made a long overdue update of the program. Among other
things I've replaced the File Freq Flags list (that probably wasn't
very accurate anyway) with an IP Flags list. Feel free to check it out
and report anything that you think is wrong with it to me, please.

Futhermore, if you have ideas about what other statistics you'd
like to see, I'm open for suggestions. The various modem flags, for
instance, isn't all that interesting any more, are they?

- = o = 0 = o = -

At the same time I discovered that the DAT file that the program
also writes to as some kind of log file, was complete from September
12, 1997. Yes, that's right, full nodelist statistics for more than 17
years! Well, there may be a couple of weeks missing (because the diff
did not arrive properly) and there may be a couple of dups caused by
me testing a new version, but all in all it should be a goldmine for
all you statistics fans out there.

This file, a comma delimited text file, the first line with a short description of each column, can now be downloaded as:

http://felten.yi.org/files/BBS/NETS_DAT.ZIP

If there's a big enough interest I might update this file each week
after the latest run of NETSTATS.

< -- snip -- >

Well, five years later I continue to maintain this historical
document now with almost 22 years of Fidonet history in it. The link
above no longer works, but the file is still there, now with this
link:

http://eljaco.se/files/BBS/NETS_DAT.ZIP

However, it's still the same, now five years old, datafile. An
updated datafile is here:

http://eljaco.se/files/BBS/NETSTATS.RAR

It now includes the embryo of an Excel file (Open Office style),
where I've tried to create a chart, but failed. I must admit
that my spreadsheet skills are far below par, I never bothered to
learn yet another script language. Maybe some of you can make
something interesting out of it and share it with us all?

Remarks:

IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls)
INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls)
PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
capability but is not listed or does not advertise an
IPv6 address in the Fidonet nodelist yet.
*1 IPv6 address: 2001:41d0:303:69c6:f1d0:2:400:2992

Notes:

To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config for binkd up to 1.1a-96, -64 option for binkd 1.1a-97
and up). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.
