Re: [44net] Portal doesn't allow IPIP anycast via 44net

Bart, - NO router in AMPR by default speaks BGP, they speak some form of what can be termed RIP44 - ALL outbound traffic leaving or destined to AMPR GWs via the Public Internet are sent via IPENCAP - every valid 44/8 address has a corresponding rip44 announcement - every 44IP announcement has a corresponding non-44 IP DST to send that IPENCAP traffic to - IF RUNNING BGP, YOU MUST STILL SPEAK IPENCAP and RIP44 with a non44 IP, BGP only speaks to the Public Internet - altering one of the conditions above would cause issues somewhere within AMPR ***e.g. If I send your 44.24.240.0/20 traffic directly to 44.24.221.1 the traffic SRC address is a non-44 IP; and therefore would not return to my GW ~or~ has a SRC of 44.0.0.0 and is dropped by the first hop*** I think you have totally misunderstood, adding the entry will not 'magically' allow every other AMPR gateway to send traffic to 44.24.240.0/20. There is no way within the AMPR routing announcements to specify use of the non AMPR interface - unless a static route is manually entered on every station wishing to contact 44.24.240.0/20. You may be multihomed, but most AMPR GWs are not. AMPRGW is NOT "broken."
