Count me in. I am in the same boat as you are :)
I am also waiting to see if there would some easy-for-human-to-implement
solution to activate my subnet.
Although I did not manage to connect my network to AMPR due to unusual
routing I think I do understand what is the problem.
Thing is 44/8 is maintained as one verz large PRIVATE network. It is
router to public, or better, some portions are routed but not all.
This leads to a problem: we cannot simply route to other 44/8 subnets as
they are not reachable through Internet. We have to establish VPNs to
them to be able to route. As there are not some aggregating routing
points, we have to make VPN for (almost) each subnet.
I guess that is the reason for odd routing procedure: you do not have to
crate just a route but VPN too...
I guess that is a problem which is not easy to resolve.
I agree with you that pinning service on something like customized RIP
protocol unknown to any router in wide use. I already suggested that
ampr.org should offer not just encap.txt file bit also pre-generated
scripts for routers which are commonly in use, like Mikrotik, you
mentioned, and which, I also use.
I agree it is not the nicest approach we can have, but it is at least
easy to implement and most important, it would allow humans to be able
to get at least involved.
