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.
Why do you keep dragging this in??? It's not relevant!!! I control only my own network. I simply get the subnet from someone else who worries about what's beyond. I am not trying to control their routers.
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:)
Please explain what the cost difference is given there's no difference in transport cost and it takes just as much effort to configure a router for a small subnet as large. There's no significant cost to IPv6 addresses, because there are so many of them, unlike IPv4 where there's not enough to support the demand. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
