Please explain by providing further details:
1) We have hard time setting up routing for 44/8.
There is no detailed explanation how it works and what actually has to
be set up.
There are instructions how to set things blindly, as recipe what to
install and set in predefined environment and hope it wil work.
If one uses different environment (different os, router or else) he is
left blank. No info how routing system within 44/8 works and what
actually has to be done so that one may try to set his routing up on his
own.
For example, the best I got is recommended python script that is suppose
d to connect to my Mikrotik router and set it up. In my case it di not
work (produced just syntax errors) so I was unable to see some example
configuration at least.
During the time, by following this list I guessed out what actually has
to be done and I tried to set up routing manually without success. It
might be I did not understand something well, or I tried to set up
routes to some networks that actually do not work, or something else.
Anyways, all is just guessing.
2) By making us able to easily route 44/8 by ourselves
then there is no
need that we have to use other's resources.
If I use offer to route my traffic though some other 44/8 subnet via
dedicated VPN then all my 44/8 traffic goes through that subnet router
and Internet link using their resources.
If I can route by myself, then traffic goes just through my connections
and directly to targeted 44/8 subnets.
I'm not sure how you could reliably export (at
least) your interface
list and route list, upload to some service and finally download a
personalised update script for your Mikrotik.
I am pretty sure it is very easy and nothing more complicated and
nothing more reliable than producing encap.txt
I am also sure, if I just could set up my Mikrotik to route 44/8 I would
already have that done so anyone with Mikrotik would be able to set it
up simply and efficiently.
But this still requires an additional machine,
although it
won't be yours.
Shure, the very same machine that generates encap.txt. It's the same
thing, just other format of text within a file.
My point is that there would not be requirement for anyone else to set
up whole Linux system just to be able to download encap.txt and convert
it to Mikrotik (or some other) format as it could be done just once at
the same time encap.txt is created.
