You were referring to an ISP having to monitor subscriber traffic.
That has nothing to do with getting permission to use an RFC1918 address on the local network. Does your ISP see that 192.168.x.y address? Not if you're behind your NAT router. Is the ISP providing that subnet?
Nope, and nope. They do see traffic I happen to route to the routers address (::1 in my /64 here) from addresses other than my assigned one (::2 in my /64 here). And even though technically it's possible to route that traffic, they don't, because I don't give them enough money. So what's the problem again?
I'm not sure what you have there. You say you have a single address. How many computers do you have? If more than one, how are they connected to your ISP? Also, ::1 is an address with a string of 127
It's a colo setup, there's just one computer.
"0" bits and one "1". It seems very strange to have that sort of address, unless you're referring to a router on your local network, in which case it should be <your network address>::1. For example, on my network, my routers address on my network is the subnet address provided to me followed by ::1. All the computers have the same network address followed my the MAC derived or random portion. An address that's simply ::1 or ::2 is outside of the allocated unicast address range.
Yes that's what I mean, 2001:db8::1 is theirs, 2001:db8::2 is mine, well, just an example. However, I can't just occupy and use 2001:db8::3, that's what I mean. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
