I'm not sure I understand how breaking up subnets
to counties like
this is helpful. Is your routing actually hub-and-spoke like you say
in the document, with a central router in each county? Do hams in that
county connect directly to the central router for routing? Whether
BGP, OSPF, or IPIP, I thought the plan for AMPR was do use mesh
routing.
I've seen a case in AMPR where addresses were pre-allocated
geographically instead of by network.
That was done in Montana 20 years. It was a nice idea but
functionally it did nothing but give me far too much experience in
routing bits and pieces of the network on X1J nodes. We should have
focused on actual live LAN's - networks in actual operation - and used
the IP allocations to serve the users on the air.
