The saga ended with a phone call to a Cox level 2 technician who said, basically, that's too bad. He suggested that their business class service might be able to offer more. Their home service apparently assumes you'll have a single computer connected to the cable modem, and who would ever need more than one subnet!
My ISP is currently providing a /64, but they plan on providing /56 soon. They also recently started providing IPv6 on their cell phone network.
One thing you might try is a 6in4 tunnel from Hurricane Electric, he.net.
It's unbelievable how stingy some ISPs are. The IPv6 address space is so huge that every single person on earth could have over 4000 /48s and that's with only 1/8th the address space being allocated to global unicast addresses.
A /64 is more than plenty for a single private household. I know there is a gazillion available addresses, but remember what happened last time we handed out networks left, right and centre because we had a gazillion ... Only dishing out a /64 is entirely reasonable IMHO. I know of ISPs that even dish out smaller nets, for hosting for instance. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
