Now another question about directly connected 44net
addresses - is there
a way for them to reach tunneled addresses? I would prefer to have my
services accessible from all 44net addresses when I start offering
something serious later this year. ATM, it appears my /24 would be
unreachable from these addresses, because even if there is a host route
to an endpoint, the 44net address is not exposed to directly connected
endpoints (they see the public IP of my router). And those direct
connected addresses not running tunnels wouldn't reach me for obvious
reasons.
When you get BGP routing on internet for a certain subnet, you should install
and register an IPIP tunnel gateway for the same subnet as well.
Until now this required a public (outside net 44) IP address on the gateway
system, but with the mod discussed in this thread you may be able to put the
tunnel endpoint inside your BGP routed subnet.
Of course it will take some time for all people to pickup the necessary
software and configuration changes for this to actually work. So you will
still be reachable for only part of the users for some time.
