Thanks Marius for your answer.
We are not in a real mesh. We are in a star topology from each node.
A real mesh would mean that each node knows its neighbourgs (of course ) AND
is also
Able to handle traffic for its neighbourgs. That not the case if I'm right.
Of course others protocols like OSPF and BGP eat more bandwidth, but isn't
it the price to get more resiliency ?
And the challenge isn't it to be more autonomous and try to increase the
capacity of our network ?
We can continue to try and test, and if there are some advantages, we can
explain how and why and go forward
I'am available to make tests with anybody (of course via tunnels in a first
step) who wants.
Best regards

Why we use IPIP and a full mesh?
Because IPIP is the simplest tunneling protocol, and the only IPv4 tunnel
with available point to multipoint support on some systems (which simplifies
the setup a lot, unfortunately routers do not support it).
And because a full mesh is the only architecture tolerating arbitrary
gateway breakdowns without affecting other gateways/subnets, and it does not
have a single point of failure.
All of you want BGP and OSPF. Nice. And how do you implement that in a full
mesh fashion? Where do you get the mesh peer information from?
The answer is simple, either from a central server like the one we have now,
offering something like the ipencap file for static configs, the RIP
broadcasts for dynamic configuration and the portal API for scripting
purposes, or you can drop the mesh concept, falling back to standard gateway
architectures like the classic client/ISP level internet setup.
For a mesh this information gathering step can not be circumvented. Even if
we change routing protocols, you still need to know your peers BEFORE being
able to set up BGP or OSPF.
And if you know your peers, you can know their subnets, too. So there is
actually no need for a routing protocol running on a limited bandwidth
network, because the information is already there, in your peering data.
Of course, no one stops you from privately peering with other systems and
using these protocols (I do...). But there is no real need to do it.

Totally agree with you Ronen. Our AMPRNET should be designed and work as
Internet, on waves. Tunneling should be considered As a work around of lack
of radio link.
Why do we need to steel use IPIP ? Can't we try to test other routing
schemes ?

When I now start to re alive our amprnet the main goal was to treat the
network as a Backup for "other Networks"
for emergencies as example (and because of it i plan to make a backbone
high speed country wide Wifi Based in order not to be depended on any wire
connection)
I looked on the AMPRNET network as a "HF network" and then i discovered
that the network not act as a real mesh ...
I can not connect from my ampr net to certain ampr nets Now lets take a
case that the hams community in Thailand have a disaster and we (the rest
of the ham community ) want to help them ... but unfortunately we have no
contact to their network ... and why ? because we
use "old technologies" like ENCAP TABLE or even worse because the
Gateway operator didnt put the whole encap table in his gateway (from his
own reasons)
All over the world the Governments (but not only them) looked on the ham
radios as peoples that in communication disaster can make contact with
their radios , unfortunately i can not say it on the amprnet even in non
disaster situations
Currently the only advantage of the AMPRNET as i see it is the big
address space we have that we can transfer on a single IP that are
transparent and can be accessed from the outside world but thats not what i
would like to see the AMPRNET I would like to see it be able to be
connected like Net/Rom can do or Like OSPF or any other "smart
routing protocols"
then I know that in a "real situation" i will be able to gain access any
part of the AMPR network because the Network itself take care of its
connectivity and as long as the specific network have any kind of
connection to the outside world (RF or Wire) the network will be able to
reach it
I know we can do it we have in our community the world best experts in
their field and a huge knowledge and good willing Im willing to help as
needed in any subject that i can ....

. We are still in the 1990s
network wise and we need to jump the shark and get into this century.
