Chris,
On a few OS'es IPENCAP is plug-and-play. OpenWrt I believe has an ampr-ripd package. Someone created the makefile. It is extremely viable - but again, I don't know what technology the TAC is Beta Testing. How did selection of technology and Alpha Phase go? When I was in the mailing group I recall discussing Wireguard.

Hi Charles, As I said, the IPIP Tunnel Mesh network is on the decline, it has been for a while, it is old technology. Folks new to 44Net find it difficult to setup and maintain, this is one the biggest complaints we receive and was the incentive for the TAC to develop the POPs, giving the next generation of 44Net users an “easy on-ramp” so they are not discouraged into joining us. Although the POPs will initially be rolled out by ARDC, the software will be open sourced and therefore we fully expect others to use the software to create their own POPs - no ARDC monopoly! Of course, you are free to continue using the IPIP Tunnel Mesh for as long as you wish, I am just noting that it will become less and less utilised as folks naturally migrate to a more user friendly, more reliable, feature rich platform. Technology moves on, you are welcome to join us on the journey if you so choose. 73, Chris - G1FEF — ARDC Administrator

Just FYI though, the IPIP Tunnel Mesh network is on the decline, it has been for many years now, at some point in the not too distant future I imagine it will be deprecated in favour of the far more feature rich and reliable POPs the TAC are developing and which are currently in beta.
