This looks very interesting indeed. I've just started reading, but it looks like there's an implementation for OpenWRT enabled routers. It would be very cool if LISP could be used in some way with Broadband Hamnet to provide mobile clients with a static net44 address as they roam across nodes.
Thank you for the links!

This is a good idea. I'm not up on the latest RFCs concerning routing in tunneled (VPN, GRE, etc) networks. Do you have a recommendation?
I am not an expert to answer this question, but I have stumbled on an emerging method for routing that has remarkable similarities to threads here. Along with the connections/associations I list below, it is experimental communications, and I believe we (Hams) have something to contribute.
RFC 6830, LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol - see [http://www.lisp4.net/] ) decouples Location from unique IDentifier in IP addressing. I first saw the need for this concept with APRS messaging, but that is for another group.
"LISP follows a network-based map-and-encapsulate scheme ... both identifiers and locators can be IP addresses or arbitrary elements like a set of GPS coordinates or a Mac address." {or call sign?}
The LISP Papers at [http://blog.pattincon.com/lisp-papers/] seems to be a good place for me to start to understand the application of this protocol.
It is implemented in recent versions of Cisco IOS/NX-OS (out of my reach at this time) and LISPmob (Mobile Node) at [http://lispmob.org/] runs on OpenWRT/Linux.
I am working on experimenting with something from here.
