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

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ 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.

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ 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 ?

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ 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 ....
