[HECnet] HECnet mapper -- request to backbone node operators

[Supratim Sanyal]

Paul,

I see this logged:

Aug 16 22:43:26 2020-08-16 22 43:25.975: PYRTR: Event sender connected 
to 41.28 (28NH)

Regards
/s.

The reason is that change of node reachability is visible only to routers in the area, and this is one of the events I'm looking for.

You can see this in the current mapper display, which will show "Last incremental change" in the map title block if there has been any incremental change since the last full update.
