Marius, RIP44 is a TCP connection, in the most simple terms, there MUST be communication BOTH ways (ACK, SYN ACK, the password, EST) via Encapsulation from your station to 44.0.0.1.
That's not quite true. The RIP packets are UDP packets, not TCP, and the communication is strictly one-way. The 44.0.0.1 gateway router blindly transmits encapsulated RIP packets to all gateways listed in the encap routing file, and the gateways may decode them and apply them in the routing table, or ignore them.
I wrote the rip44d for Linux, so I had to take a serious look at how it works.
