what is ham radio ~ www.arrl.org/what-is-ham-radio
According to Allstar Link.org allstar is this, "The AllStar Link network consists of a number of large (and small) individuals and groups who wish to provide efficient large-area communications to the Amateur Radio public in their respective local areas. This is done by providing a local VHF or UHF repeater system controlled by a Linux-based computer system running the open-source Asterisk PBX telephone switch platform along with the app_rpt repeater/remote base controller/linking software module (which is included in the distribution of Asterisk) connected to a high speed (broadband, such as Cable Modem or DSL) Internet connection.
The computer system running Linux/Asterisk PBX coupled with the app_rpt module makes a powerful repeater/remote base controller capable of controlling many (like up to hundreds, theoretically) repeaters and/or remote bases per computer system. It provides linking of these repeater and remote base "nodes", with "nodes" on other systems of similar construction anywhere in the world, over the Internet via its IAX2 Voice Over IP protocol".
allstarlink.org/about.html
In simpler terms it is a voip connection that allows us to link a radio to a radio, radio to alternate device that is used by amateur to communicate with others over vast areas that they normally would not be able to do otherwise. The linking portion is accomplished by the linking software instead of radio links per se.
you need to be a licensed amateur radio operator or aka ham in order to use the allstar system
info to acquire your license can be found here for starters, its loaded with lots of information ~ www.arrl.org/home
to get you started on the right path to that ticket ~ www.arrl.org/getting-licensed
other ARRL info to help you on that journey ~ www.arrl.org/get-on-the-air
According to Allstarlink.Org,
"Simplex Node
This is a half-duplex node which is able to be controlled with DTMF commands. Simplex nodes may or may not have emergency power or extended coverage. A CTCSS tone may be required, check with the node owner for further information.
Hub Node
This is a node which has no Radio hardware associated with it whatsoever. This node type is typically used in a location where there is a large amount of Internet Bandwidth available in addition to a computer system with a good amount of CPU power, and is used as a "central connecting point".

In closing allstar is a combination of IP networking, computer programming and radio all mixed into one
