New subject: ENCAP ro BGP

19 Aug 2015

Brian Kantor,

Concerning hosts with no DNS entries can only use the IPIP mesh system.

Couldn't this be tweaked at UCSD to allow only 44net traffic for hosts
with no DNS entries?  Thus letting BGP'd 44 hosts be able to
communicate with IPIP 44 hosts regardless of DNS entries?

And of course if there is a DNS entry then (like now) allow
general/all inbound traffic.

Just a thought, not sure if it raises any other issues.

 John,

Yes, you should be able to send encapsulated data via amprgw and get the
correct replies, but only for specific BGP announced and registered
subnets.

Arbitrary 44net targets not in those BGP announced networks are NOT
forwarded via amprgw, and only DNS registered hosts will be able to use
the gateway (as you correctly assume).

Hosts with no DNS entries can only use the IPIP mesh system, since there
is usually no check for that criteria on the gateways, and any subnet
match is accepted.
