It's called peering. I'm not expecting the end users who don't understand with a /29 to get on with it.
- Explain how you would justify and obtain stable funding to get (and
keep) an ASN for the 44-net address space ($500 initial, $100/yr maintenance from ARIN). An ASN is necessary for multi-homing and BGP routing.
I've stated I'd donate an ASN to AMPR. Money where my mouth is, etc. AFAIK AMPR is not 501c3 with the IRS, so this is going to hold donations back.
- Explain to me what financial incentive a commercial ISP has to
routing (or peering with) 44-net address space for a small number of customers.
It's cool, lots of groups would peer with AMPRnet. We'd have to get people to run gateways in different places around the world. Might need to start talking to a few more people at NANOG/xNOG's but it's like finding a good repeater site, you have to pound the pavement and talk to people. Law of averages we'd find a half dozen companies that would do it.
The legitimacy of a 501c3 status would go a long way to help this.
- As for using VPN's, explain how to pay for and maintain the
appropriate size server(s) to host CPU-intensive VPN (IPSec and GRE) end-points.
Don't know why we'd need IPSEC on the backbone, GRE would be fine. GRE is a hardware operation in most routers (I can only speak to ALU 7x50), but really we're not pushing 100mbit/s, so it's a moot point. A linux/bsd box can do it.
After understanding all the nuances of 44-net, I find that the mesh of IP-IP tunnels and the rip44d daemon are actually quite an elegant solution to the limitations and constraints we have to work with.
It's a dirty hack IMO. There is no reason we can't build a virtual backbone that would provide 44net space to end users and give the users redundant (or better!) routes to the internet.

We applied for 501c3 status a year ago. The IRS is over a year behind on processing these applications; ours hasn't come up for review yet. We hope to hear from them in the next six months or so.
(For those many of you outside the USA, 501c3 status is a recognition by the US government of non-profit educational/research status that exempts the organization from payment of income tax on donations and allows the giver to deduct some portion of their contribution from their own personal income taxes.)
So far donations have been few and far between; we're still over a thousand dollars in debt. I do thank those who have been generous. - Brian
Brian ,
What is the PayPal address at which you get donations?
