Well, they are being delivered by RIP, but because it's supplying
tunnel routes over a tunnel, it has to be handled in a special way,
thus RIP44d. You don't want the tunnel routes to be seen by your
normal RIP listener because the routes aren't to local next-hop
addresses, they're to tunnel endpoints.

Why does the interface upon which the rip packets arrive matter to a
standard ripd daeon? Does the tunnel encapsulation type matter? (would it
matter or depend upon if this was l2tp/ipip/pptp/openvpn/gre/etc?) How is
a rip packet that arrives on interface tun0 fundamentally different from
one that arrives on eth0?
