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)
