Wouldn't the simplest solution be to modify the rip44 process so it
doesn't
delete routes that haven't been announced for a while, or at least for
a
much longer period?
IPIP tunnels and RIP have the major advantage that they allow those who
have
a dynamic IP address to participate in net44. I feel it is important
that we
remember that we are radio hams first, and should use solutions that
can be
used by the majority of hams, not just those network professionals who
want
to play a being an ISP.
Dynamic endpoints are very well supported using other tunnels (e.g.
PPTP, L2TP, etc), although a full mesh would be difficult to setup, but
BGP will work just fine via VPNs. Of course 1 endpoint would still need
to have a static IP or at least a static hostname.
In Luxembourg, the LARU currently operates a PPTP tunnel to Romania, a
GRE tunnel to Hawaii, and inside our network we are using GRE, SSTP,
IPIP and PPTP tunnels to connect different sites. We run BGP on top of
these tunnels.
Currently a befriended non-profit organization provides Internet access
and announces our networks via BGP into the commercial internet.
For 2015, with the arrival of new hardware, we have planned to extent
our "direct" peerings with other BGP-capable AMPR sites and
"BGP-hosting" for AMPR networks that would like to experiment with BGP.
