hi all
to add another view to this what if you have a provider that do not route type 50 packets?
In that case, drop the provider.
From /etc/protocols :
ipv6-crypt 50 IPv6-Crypt # Encryption Header for IPv6 ipv6-auth 51 IPv6-Auth # Authentication Header for IPv6 Any provider not routing these will presumably break(?) ipv6. My guess is, in view of the timeline to fully implement ipv6 globally, that this is not acceptable, or at the very least it won't take long before it is unacceptable. FWIW, I know of no provider that doesn't route these... Alternatively, another response could have been: what if you have a provider that do not route type 17 packets? ;-)) Maarten -- Maarten J.
