IIRC is it something like 60 minutes depending on when your station
last flapped, and you will see RIP traffic distributed over the IPIP
tunnel. Note that as far as it is concerned, the flap is when amprripd
exits and restarts. 1 hr does sound familiar, which is why I tried to
avoid rebooting the virtual server. I was using a full KVM
virtualized server, because it was required to load the IPIP module.
Then I connected a VPS using OpenVPN to the IPIP end-point I'd
established. Under OpenVPN, "none" is a valid cryptographic protocol,
however you need to be aware of replay attacks, etc. In my case, there
was still a lot of jitter on the VPN links due to the changing workloads
of the VPS(s).
Agreed. I was hoping someone who's actually
familiar with the
operation of amprgw would weigh in, but I took a stab at drafting
something on the wiki. I mentioned it in the FAQ as well as the page
about AMPRGW itself.
My challenge was getting traffic to move at all, which was first
amprripd, then DNS entries.
Policy Based Routing didn't make it much easier on Linux.
