We were wondering if it would be possible to tunnel in
the AMPRNet from
UCSD into the exchange over BGP for the weekend of the event. If so what is
the best way to go about this? I'm more than happen to land it on a VM
elsewhere (Likely in London) then deal with getting it to the field myself
if need be.
The standard way to have traffic tunneled to you, in the absence of a regional
gateway that is BGP-routed, would be to register a subnet at the portal and
setup an IPIP gateway for it, if desired using a VM somewhere to do the tunneling
and a further tunnel (VPN) to the site to forward the traffic.
Of course it would be possible to setup BGP routing to your VM, but would it be
worth it for a 3-day event only? Maybe you could setup something more permanent
that can be used by local amateurs after the event has ended.
