You won't encounter problems with traffic to other systems on internet
and also not with other
AMPRnet systems routed via BGP, but some of the traditional AMPRnet
networks that are only
routed via IPIP will be unreachable when you do not run IPIP tunnels
in parallel to your BGP
announcement, or at best they will be routed via San Diego, USA which
of course affects delay
and packet loss values.
That shouldn't be an issue for Internet facing services
(Echolink, DMR,
etc), since they're unlikely to be accessed from tunneled systems, but
if one is going to host services for other 44net users, then you will
definitely want tunnels.
I cannot judge if this will affect your system.
However, when your router system is capable of running ampr-ripd or
another solution for
IPIP tunnels (e.g. the scripts for RouterOS or the recent solution for
Juniper) I think it is always
a good idea to install one of them.
And then you'll have issues in at least
parts of the German networks. I
myself now have an issue, because some of my machines have a 44net
address for various reasons, and these machines will route to my
44.190.8.x BGP subnet via San Diego (30,000 km round trip!). One
thing affected is my Echolink proxy - accessing it from the desktop will
be veey suboptimal now). I was thinking of putting in ampr-ripd, but
there were protests from the Germans. At this time, I'll probably just
setup a site to site VPN, so I can at least have optimal routing between
my 2 sites.
