I think original routing methods are not easy to use
and have drawbacks :
- eBGP is not available to end-users, or even to small teams or repeater
operators. It requires network skills, and access to telecom operator
data centers.
I think end-users or teams should not try to use eBGP unless they want
to do it as another learning project as part of their AMPRnet gateway.
Announcing your AMPRnet allocation on internet is simply a matter of
telling your colocation/VPS hosting company that you have portable address
space that you want to announce on internet and route that to your server
or router. That is a standard change in their portfolio, they do that
for lots of other customers and for them it is a simple matter of
configuration in their existing network. They know how to do it and
they already monitor it.
When you do it yourself, you will have to get an AS, peering, setup
your router, cope with the vast amount of routes and the processing
and storage they require, etc. Not something to embark on lightly,
and usually not necessary at all.
