Source IP is not authentication.... This *IS* yet another good reason that
we ought be peering with other 44net networks voluntarily rather than just
blindly loading an encap file that builds a mesh of tunnels to hosts and
networks unbeknownst to us which likely have varying policy and regulation
upon traffic. Rather than IPIP why not IPsec or PPP over GRE or something
similar setup on a voluntary basis. Then all this discussion becomes a
matter of who you peer with. as it is now I'm forced to accept traffic
from people and networks who I have no idea who are rather than actually
being actively involved in knowing my neighbors and actively, voluntarily
peering with them where peering means that when we commnicate we
authenticate.

One of the traditionally accepted practices here is that if the source
of an IP packet is on the 44 net - then it's a Radio Amateur.
Certainly not perfect but it has been 'good enough.' I hope we
don't lose that.
