Could you elaborate a bit? While running a rip44 setup, you're going to get all routes updated within an hour of any changes. As Brian described, that's going to happen quite precisely at the same time when the UCSD router loads the updated routes: "However, the updated routing table is only loaded at the top of the hour so there is a delay of up to 1 hour before your change will be reflected in the amprgw router and the rip44 data." In the old days, when you manually updated your routes every month or so, having a fallback /8 route back to UCSD might have helped you to have a path to newly added gateways in the mean time. But these days, with RIP44 or other relatively quick updates, I think it's just a recipe for potential routing loops. - Hessu, OH7LZB
