Depends on the routing setup at

that's not a desirable path
You can of course still configure the tunnel mesh if you desire. The
primary benefit of this is reduced latency to gateways not near UCSD.
Which
includes anything here! Also on today's Internet, vastly
increased available bandwidth, because of the more optimal routing.
First, I know I'd need to run ampr-ripd on
the box. I also have non-44
net addresses to use as the ipip encap endpoint. What else do I need to
do? Do I need to advertise the subnet as "tunneled" in addition to
direct in the portal? Anything else?
This should answer your questions:
http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_Linux I don't recall that
answering my specific case of wanting to run both
direct (BGP) AND tunneling at the same time. Details do matter. :)
The way we do this is by importing the 44 networks
learned via BGP into our
IGP and prioritizing those over routes learned via ampr-ripd. The route
filter looks something like this on Mikrotik:
/routing filter add action=accept chain=AMPR prefix=44.0.0.0/8
prefix-length=8-32
Now our route table has routes from both BGP and ampr-ripd, with lower
distance on the BGP routes. How you accomplish this will depend on your
implementation, but I hope this gives you an idea.
I'm running Linux.
