John, the 44 net is an external IP and not a router LAN accessible ip. 10/8 net was chosen because it is a Class A net. More hams then pc's right??? For off the shelf operations, the 10/8 net was chosen as in INTERNAL thing rather then an external.

Which is silly anyway, since the DD format is Ethernet encapsulation, not IP encapsulation. What if I wanted to run XNS (Xerox Networking Service) or Novell's IPX over D-STAR, its Ethernet but not IP. The gateway system should concern itself with routing to Callsigns as a transport and let the Ethernet networking be setup according to the stations' preferences. (And why not use network 44 which belongs to the amateur community rather than 10 for IP anyway?) The D-STAR DD network should be a tunneling network.
