Did you overlook the fact that you have NO control over the remote side's router? Or are you talking about something completely different, see below.
Once again. BGP is not applicable because I do not have an autonomous network. I get a single subnet from the tunnel broker and it is they who would use BGP and not me. For my subnet, they'd be using something like RIP or OSPF, as there is no need for the function that BGP provides. Please look up interior and exterior routing protocols to understand the difference.
Yes, that was my point initially, it's *not* your network and hence you're not free to do whatever you want. As for the routing protocol, I was thinking of AS transits and specifically HE's services. Pretty much the only acceptable business solution two years ago. And personally I think ASNs make a lot more sense in v6 space and everybody should have their own. Anyway, regardless what routing protocol they use, the fact remains, you can't control their router. You're lucky that they route everything you chuck at them. It's however a privilege you're not entitled to, and if they did it differently, arguing that it's their cock-up won't get you anywhere.
plentiful, so there's no need to ration or charge for them. I get my /56 subnet from a tunnel broker for absolutely no cost. Others hand out /48 subnets, again at no cost. What do you mean by tunnel then? I thought tunnelbrokers are
With IPv4, addresses are scare. With IPv6, they are extremely part of the transition plan and give you a v4 address that you can send 6-in-4 traffic to
I use a 6in4 tunnel to transport IPv6 over IPv4. It does this by placing a 20 byte IP protocol 41 header in front of the IPv6 packet. Tunnel brokers are the organizations who offer this service. They convert the packets to/from 6in4 tunnels to the IPv6 internet.
Well native connectivity costs money here, what can I do about it?
The connection is what costs. It doesn't cost any more to carry more than one address as it is all data over the link.
Again, you're not living in the real world. It's the software development phase that costs. It doesn't cost any more to give you another licence as it is just generating another licence key. Doesn't really work in the open-source world but you get the idea :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
