Hi Tal,
This has been repeated a lot of times, but somehow this information gets
lost:
The AMPR network is a full mesch tunneled network. This means that, in
order to interconnect 44 subnets, you need to set up a tunnel for each and
every gateway.
The ucsd ampr gateway only provides access to/from 44 addresses from/to
the internet, and not between 44 subnets.
In a Linux environment, the IPIP driver has this point to multipoint
capability, being able to create this full mesh by defining specific
specially crafted routes.
For other operating sysyems and routers, including pfsense, you need to
create a tunnel for each existing gateway in the portal, some 300 tunnels.
The only way around this is for another gateway to offer you ampr
connectivity via its gateway, which has to become your gateway, too.
