My recommendation is to go with pfsense, at least until the openSUSE developers quit putting eye candy ahead of function.
Just to learn about it, I might well do that.
James, be a little reasonable - the guys writing e.g. wicked and the network support have little need for eye candy. Most of the people out there on IPv6 probably have a router supplied by the provider whichyo happily takes of it. Needing/wanting to build your own IPv6 router with this support is a bit of a cornercase, I would say. Might also be difficult to find a suitable test environment.
My dsl-modem gets a /56 prefix. Afther that I put another box, namely the suse-box. After that I have an internal network. In that situation you have to use PD when the ISP does not hand out static prefixes. IMHO not a cornercase.
I can only judge by the current, apparently very minor demand for such setups. Here we have sofar seen two people asking/needing this support, I don't know about the openSUSE fora, but one would think the issue would have appeared much earlier - if there was much of an issue.
I am looking for a solution for IPv6 PD, too. But I must admit I was scared by thas monster mail thread over the last days, which was mostly off topic. Maybe there are more openSUSE users who felt the same and skipped that thread.
Of course we should support IPv6 PD, but as you say below, we (openSUSE) are not exactly behind in this aspect. I guess you and James have both volunteered to test when the supporting code becomes available.
When there is something to test, I will have a look, too. Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
