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.
