Some metrics from the AREDN World Map as of 7/1/24:

• Total number of visible nodes:  2295 (down from 2503 last month)
  
• Percentage of nodes updated to latest production build: 48% (up from 35%  )
  
• Percentage of nodes that are non-MIMO (mostly Bullets, AirGrids and AirRouters): .4% (down from 5.4%)
• Longest uptime: 1689 days: still KA6ECT-RM3-Pleasants-36-198-231
  
• Nodes with highest reported number of tunnels*: 
•  K6PVR-VC-TUNNEL-SRV: 35
  KI5VMF-OKLAHOMA: 29
• AA3JC-AC3-HATFLD-1 - 26
• KI7LXY-HAP-AC3 - 23

• Who's running what?
• Mikrotik: 57.5% (up from 56.7%)
  
• Ubiquiti: 33.2% (down from 33.7%)
  
• TP-link: 1.6% (down from 2%)
  
• Gl.inet: 5.1% (down from 5.4%
• VMs (Virtual Machines):  .35% (8) up from .3% (7)

• I lied about version 3.18.9.0; there are still three nodes out there running it:
• GM0RAY-2
• K7AGH-Albany-General-Hospital-M5
• KG7BZ-Sweet-Home9

• There are still 12 nodes running vers. 3.19.3.0, now the next oldest version on the network (down from 19):
  
• N9MS-Rocket-O
  W1AAM-01
  AC7R-Usery-RM5-WT-Two
  K7DMK-N13
  KA6ECT-NBM5-Wilson-62-174-80
  KA6ECT-RM3-Pleasants-36-198-231
  KG7BZ-M5-NanoB-W7VA
  N0OIF-NANO-2GHZ-OLD-SANATOGA-PA-
  N7YRC-LTNo
  W6CPD-PPEAK-LHGXL5-1
  W7VA-M5-NanoB-Lebanon
  W7VF-Usery-RM5-WT-Six
  

If you own one of these nodes running really outdated code, or know the owner, please try to get them updated to current code.  There were a number of networking & traffic issues with those really old versions, and updating them will help the state of your local network.

* Prior to nightly build 240513, Wireguard tunnels aren't included in node metrics.  If you're running Wireguard tunnels, I encourage you to update your nodes (both ends of link) to the latest nightly build, so we can have accurate tunnel stats.   (and if you're still running legacy tunnels, consider upgrading them to Wireguard tunnels; they're better in a number of ways).

Enjoy!
