This is correct, we still route 44.0.0.0/8 to a system that does IPIP to the rest of amprnet. However, the route from the rest of amprnet back to us could be done purely over the internet. So the question might be, do we still need to announce ourselves in the encap file ?
Yes. The explanation lies in the current routing configuration for 44/8 within UCSD. Mainly upstream router for the AMPR-GW at UCSD has a default route towards it's upstream router and a static route for 44/8, so any traffic leaving the AMPR GW at UCSD for a 44.144/16 address will be routed back to the AMPR-GW, actually creating a routing loop.
At least until the routing setup changes (if it changes at all) all of us *MUST* have an entry in the encap file in order to be reachable from within 44net.
