Re: [44net] What is 44net?

Why would you add the complexity of BGP over GRE? I guess you could if you wanted to but the 2 protocols have extremely different uses. Use BGP to connect with one or more network service providers where you then bring your own address space. Use GRE to build tunnels into those networks. once BGP peered to the internet cloud, let the cloud do the routing and delivery between networks for you. Obviously if you have a direct point to point route between these networks (over radio) that may be preferable, but then again if you have such a link then maybe it's a good idea for those networks to peer based upon a common agreed upon roting policy.
