the mention of using openvpn was mostly intended as a nudge. While IPIP seems to be the defacto standard for amprnet tunneling, it's about the only place I've seen it used much. The tools for tunnels/vpn links are out there but something such as openvpn is much more widely supported than ipip.... As a historical note, we used IPIP tunnels because that's all there was when we got started. This was early; we were using tunnels even before a protocol ID byte value had been assigned to IPIP. VPNs hadn't been invented yet.
Indeed, we've discussed using openvpn before and the response was generally favorable. It would be a great step forward for the tunneled parts of the network.

Hi,
I've deliberately kept the above to keep context. There's been a large volume of emails recently which I've not been able to completely follow (due to a sudden job change), so I apologise before going over an old subject.
Other than tunneling through mirrorshades, has another workable mechanism been demonstrated? How do I participate and or help test it?
I don't work in an ISP so can't really announce 44.155.x.x/16. However, I may be able to persuade an ISP I know to let me set up something to test with i.e. pick a subnet 44.155.x/24 (where X isn't currently in use), which we could advertise to test with. It is a while since I checked though, so /24's may not be welcome in the DFZ anymore.
That said, I'm happy to wait until Brian thinks he has everything squared away with ARIN as well.
