Sorry if I'm unclear, so what I'm envisioning
is setting up tunnels to the
other participants of the 44 net who aren't directly internet routed and
using RIP advertisement for them. Then traffic between me and them can
bypass the main AMPR 44 net router, reducing latency and reducing bandwidth
requirements at the root node.
In other words, if anyone on my subnets access the internet it would route
through our BGP connected uplink. If they were communicating with another
subnet on the AMPRNet it would tunnel directly to them.
Oh, I see. I always find routing to be confusing but I think I have it right.
The path back to you from the tunnel-connected host is problematic
as your gateway would have a 44-net address. You can't have the gateway tunnel
endpoint on the same network as it is advertising connectivity to as you reach
a dead-end. If your 44-net gateway is serving OTHER subnets it could possibly
work. Also it could work if the gateway being advertised is not on net-44.
Someone correct me if I have this wrong, please.
