Hi Brian,

I'm unclear on what you would be advertising via
the RIP broadcasts.
Sorry if I'm unclear, so what I'm envisioning is setting up tunnels to the
other participants of the 44 net who aren't directly internet routed and
using RIP advertisement for them. Then traffic between me and them can
bypass the main AMPR 44 net router, reducing latency and reducing bandwidth
requirements at the root node.
In other words, if anyone on my subnets access the internet it would route
through our BGP connected uplink. If they were communicating with another
subnet on the AMPRNet it would tunnel directly to them.
What do you think?
