Agreed,
there will be places where tunnels are needed however as well as a time of
transition. For that use having a tunnel protocol that is widely used
across a number of independent platforms is useful. Really we are talking
about 2 seperate things though... one being the network core, the second
being connections into the core. for the second some kind of tunnels will
likely be with us for the forseeable future (until you or someone with much
more money than I can build dedicated circuits between all the disjoint
lans (isLANdS) of 44 net. Something like GRE or openvpn could help in that
as a compliment to IPIP, but yes in the core, tunnels should disappear, at
the edge, we may still need them for the forseeable future.

We don't want a tunnel.
We want them sent through our Tier 1 upstream provider to our ISP, which I
own and provide service to other Hams on.
That is why we contacted you in the first place Brian.
44 Net is not just for tunneling
Use the allocation or lose it, just like 220 (tm)

the mention of using openvpn was mostly intended
as a nudge. While
IPIP seems to be the defacto standard for amprnet tunneling, it's
about the only place I've seen it used much. The tools for
tunnels/vpn links are out there but something such as openvpn is much
more widely supported than ipip....
As a historical note, we used IPIP tunnels because that's all there was
when
we got started. This was early; we were using tunnels even before a
protocol ID byte value had been assigned to IPIP. VPNs hadn't been
invented
yet.
Indeed, we've discussed using openvpn before and the response was generally
favorable. It would be a great step forward for the tunneled parts of the
network.
