How would local gateways connect ? A Tunnel(s) to the

I'm trying to imagine explaining to someone how to configure an IGP
(especially IS-IS) :-)
yes, IPIP tunnels or GRE to their local gateway. If they wanted to have
redundancy into the AMPR net they could do IS-IS L1 to the two gateways over
these tunnels. The backbone routers would all be L2 routers.
We could do OSPF, but I see the whole area 0 thing being a bad architectural
limitation. Any design we come up with should be redundant and scalable for
all hams to benefit from.
Really if you can't configure a link state routing protocol, should you even
be trying to setup a redundant connection?
Granted it would be optional, but it would give some real protection if one of
the border routers goes down.
We only have a /8 of space, and even subdivided into /24's it's only 65k
routes, so pretty much any router on the core can handle it.
