[aprssig] Was ADS-B to APRS Server NOW AIS to APRS

[Andrew Rich]

I did an experiment.

I fed APRS and ADS-B into a mysql table.

You then connect to a server that dishes up the data every x seconds.

Works like a charm.

No cross connect mind you, but the proof of concept worked.

But we do get cross-connections and that is an issue.  Even Xastir has, at 
different points in time, had issues with data coming in one feed and going 
out another.

FireNet will have a feed from the CWOP servers (if it doesn't already). 
And, as I pointed out before, if you connect to FireNet, you have APRS-IS 
bi-directionally so there is no need to connect to both (and, in fact, it is 
potentially detrimental).  As far as simultaneously connecting to other 
non-APRS-IS subnets, yes this does limit you.  But if the other option is 
what we have been cleaning up for the last 10 years (a spider web of 
multiple connections introducing bad data into APRS-IS), then I put forth 
that it is better to limit the number of connections that a client makes to 
prevent abuses of the servers and minimize bad data on APRS-IS.
