[catching up on old emails here]
But but... that does not work. I tested it, and Brian
confirmed that
amprgw can not route packets out to the Internet to the BGP 44/8
sites, unless those sites are also reachable via an IPIP mesh. The
technical reason is that the first upstream router between amprgw and
the Internet has a static 44/8 route towards amprgw, and does not have
the full Internet BGP table which would contain more specific routes
to the BGP-only sites.
Since there are so few remote AMPR BGP speakers, why not configure these
more specific routes on the upstream router as statics? That would be
an improvement from what we currently have and the better solution would
be to at least have the Internet learned 44/8 BGP routes leaked into
this router to avoid using static routes.
