exactly but you would have a easier path to than the IPIP tunel for the 44.128/10 part
of the network as it will be available on a POP closer to your location lowering the
traveling time of the packets to a few ms rather than the roung trip to VK land to UCSD
back to the other IPIP subnet and so on for the answer. back.
My understanding is that the IPIP mesh is peer-peer for traffic carried
over the mesh, which means the POP/backbone has to be well designed to
maintain latency, since by definition, it will be slightly non optimal
for routing (the leg from the end user to the POP is an extra detour).
