[Dxspider-support] Cluster Abuse and IP Addresses

[Lee Sawkins]

Thanks Bela for the information.

I found a list of IP addresses with countries from the link you gave. 
That could be very useful.

I have a link for the raw information I have collected in the last few
days.  Lines ending with *** have duplicate IP addresses to a line
immediately before or after this line.  You can see users with changing
IP addresses.  Probably they are using dial up.  Radio users are at the
end as AGW/BPQ.  AOL users have duplicate addresses due to AOL using
proxies.  (205.188...  and 207.200...)
Format = IP^Date last spot^Time last spot^Nr of Spots^User^Node last
spot^Dupe(***)

I think that IP addresses should be included in DX spots.  That way the
backbone traffic does not increase a lot.  These IPs could be used for
real time filtering.  Most users don't spot, so it's not necessary to
distribute their IP addresses, at least for a spot filtering point of
view.

Many sysops are using my CC User(AKA AR User) program.  This program can
be used to connect to any Spider or CC Cluster and see the raw CC11 data
sent to users.  CC Clusters are now including the IP info in the second
to last field in these spots.
