Let me know if anyone is interested in creating some more static links, and / or trying to do some sort of edge router that can have an open communications standard, and not a customized (could otherwise spelled proprietary) protocol in the middle.
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.
