Forwarding to additional Servers (LNS)

Gateways MikroTik Gateways
1

Hi,

as it is needed to edit/add the preconfigured servers in the configuration of the mikotik LoraWan-Packet-Forwarder to work with The Things Network Community Network, i wonder what about the original configured Lora Network Servers (LNS)?

In my running configuration i only forward to router.eu.things.network .
What about the predefined eu.mikrotik.thethings.industries?
What are possible advantages or disadvanteges to forward packet to further LNS?
Does each LNS require a registration to work like it is necessary to priviously register each Gateway ID in The Things Network Console?
Does it require diffrent ports for each downlink?

I am curious how you configured this!

Greetings

Both off these hosts name’s end at the same ip address true the DNS (52.169.76.203). some service’s at Microsoft cloud. But they are on different nameservers. So maybe better to always use the “router.eu.things.network” as standaard.

Given that the LNS uses HTTP, a single server with multiple (sub-)domains could very well serve very different things for each (sub-)domain.

(But I’ve no idea why eu.mikrotik.thethings.industries would be used, and you might be right that it’s the same thing. I’d love to see some official statement or documentation on that though.)
