Nope, that's exactly where you are wrong. Unless you possess an ASN and sign up with a carrier giving you BGP access, you canNOT freely do whatever you want. You have no right and they have no obligation, it's their network after all.
Funny thing. I have no BGP router, yet I have a subnet. BGP is used by carriers and ISPs to determine optimum routing. It is not useful for end networks that have only one connection to the Internet.
I wouldn't have thought so, otherwise you wouldn't come up with claims like you're free to do whatever you want. You are. But only up to the first router you don't have the password for. Whois your network and you will see whom it belongs to. And then reread the T&C for your tunnel or ISP connection and then we can talk about who decides what's useful and what isn't.
Also, in another note I mentioned Teredo tunnels. These should be blocked, disabled or otherwise managed on a corporate network as they enable someone to completely bypass the firewall etc.
Yes, you can do that on all the networks you happen to administer, I certainly won't stop you. But I configure *my* networks as it suits *me*. And it may be bad practice and considered unsafe, but there are many older routers out there that only provide 6to4 functionality with teredo addresses. You can buy our university some new routers if you want to interfere. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
