It is not clear to me what you are getting at here!
These are different
layers of the cake. Your radio experimentation will result in some way
to transport bits from A to B, but not in a network. To build a network
you need another layer, and a way to define what you need to send where
to get your message to the destination. That is what BGP is handling.
By using BGP instead of static routing, we can connect many radio links
and other links together and make a network out of it without getting
buried in manual routing chores.
Please make sure you understand that the use of BGP I
am mentioning
here has nothing to do with the use of BGP on internet to route all
the internet networks.
Dear Rob,
I am not confused, I am purposely trying to broaden the discussion
(that's why I changed the Subject header). What you describe above is
true, and is also completely unfamiliar except in a vague way to most
people, including most amateur radio operators. How does what you are
describing actually work? What does it mean to define what you need to
get your message to the destination? I'm not asking you to try to answer
those questions here (and I know the answers myself). I expect that many
who read what you have just written will have those sorts of questions.
That is the gap that I am identifying, and I am proposing that ARDC
consider education specifically in this area (given that they asked if
education was important).
