After some testing, I discovered that the access point was allowing a lot of broadcasts & multicasts from the native LAN to the 2nd SSID. I would imagine that the original tester only verified VLANs and additional SSIDs worked with IPv4 and not IPv6. I received some networking training not long ago, this decade, some hundreds hours, and ipv6 was largely ignored. So that it is not well tested is not surprising, it is not even understood.
Many think that it is not coming. It will be somebody else's problem, and perhaps we can sell new hardware when it does, and training and support.
Many ISPs do not support it. Mine does not.
Your network training was inadequate. Anyone going for Cisco CCNA over the past couple of years would have extensive coverage of it. Even with the older program, it was covered. Regardless, my testing also showed IPv4 broadcasts crossing from the native to VLAN and that is something that's not ever supposed to happen. So, it's not an IPv6 problem, it's a defective VLAN implementation that in turn caused a problem for IPv6. If someone had actually monitored the VLAN traffic, they would have seen the problem, IPv6 or not. As for IPv6 adoption, the big problem is those who think IPv4 can be extended with hacks and ignore the problems those hacks cause. Some also seem to think NAT provides a better firewall, which is absolute nonsense. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
