... Here in Austria we use our 44.143/16 net purely for Hamnet/Intranet purpose. Most users are not on this mailing list and simple use the network.
I think the word "Intranet" somehow was misunderstood in this long discussion. To point it out a little bit clearer:
Hamnet/intranet never was intended to be a fully closed network. Obviously all hamnet-users want to talk with every other 44net-user around the world and vice versa without any form of nat because this could block some wanted use-cases. NAT is evil!
Therefor it is indispensable to keep those networks within the 44net-IP-range! Just to keep things simple and stupid. 1:1 mapping is no option. It wouldn't save a single IP on the 44net-side.
... The question I'm getting over and over again is, which Subnets should be routed to Hamnet to reach most of it and at the same time not blocking the Internet routed subnets. So this clear separation would clearly help us as well.
This is one of the things to get solved and TAC-proposal is aiming at. One of possible solutions could be: renumbering for a minority of networks giving them a lot of time and support to do that.
In this long lasting thread I never ever have read that this would be technically impossible. Instead I read a lot of something like: "Baaahh, that is a lot of work" etc
Antonious pointed it out again and again why it could be better to get more structure in the net as a first step. I dispence in repeating all that here again. Logically it is the second step to roll out a technical solution to keep everyone satisfied.
That is when Rob and others could enter the game. A PoP-Structure around the world looks very interesting for me. Antonious has made it clear that TAC is working on a solution like that. Hopefully this doesn't last another 8 months because there has a lot of work been done and published on this point ;-)
Finally, those OMs who have Internet routed Subnets (outside 44.143) would have to move, but its clearly worth the effort.
ACK
Some of us are in training as we had to move a lot of infrastructure > after the subnet was sold.> 73 Lucas OE2LSP/KC1GDN
