The sale of 44.192.0.0/10 took most of us by surprise

Some good thoughts there John. Something did catch my eye.
9) As others have mentioned, this is an excellent
time to reexamine the
structure of the network and modernize it.
Yep. I see this as an opportunity as
well.
a) Deprecate the IPIP tunnel mesh
That is rather old technology and difficult
for some to implement
(impossible behind CGN). What would you replace it with?
b) Update firewall rules, replacing 44.0.0.0/8 with similar rules for
44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10
Goes without saying.
c) Adopt BGP and VPNs (or similar strategies) for interconnection and
routing.
Whatever we use must not come at the cost of suboptimal routing, and be
able to scale at least as well as the IPIP tunnels do.
tl;dr – It’s a done deal, work with it. Become active and take the
initiative to improve the network.
Agree, the world has changed. Use it as an
opportunity.
