Just to clarify things. There is no such thing as European Hamnet. There is the dutch way, french, belgian, german, etc, but they are all different. The german version is in no means the European Hamnet.

I don't know if "44NGN" is related to "DG8NGN", but Jann is a reference here : European HamNet already has thousands of nodes with iBGP routing, and he's the inititor of 44.190 routing policy. Lots of things already exist. I think we don't need to reinvent the wheel. Just find out the right wheel diameter that could be adopted worldwide
No, this is not at all related I think. It was just made to mean "Next Generation Network". You are right that most of the things being proposed here already exist regionally.
In the Netherlands we have a similar network to "European HamNet" except that it also routes from/to internet. (HamNet uses NAT routers placed at some points in the network, making the routing asymmetric)
The proposed new topology would allow HamNet to join in and maybe get a bit better connected when desired. (and maybe resolving some of the difficulties that arise from the setup as it is now with combined BGP and IPIP/AMPR-RIP routing)
