NAT seems completely superfluous when the networks are dished out as /64. I did notice that there is a reserved range of private/local/site-unique addresses (prefix fd), but I'm not quite sure what that is intended for.
My understanding is those are addresses that can be used within an organization, either through a router or not, but not accessable by the world.
That's the weird thing - it doesn't say so. At least not in wikipedia. The 40-bit site-id is supposed to be random, so the unique local address isn't guaranteed to be unique, but does have a very high probability of being so. The thing is - todays RFC1918 IPv4 addresses are obviously not unique, but also not routable, but what's with these most-probably-unique IPv6 addresses that appear to be routable? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
