I meant running one's own ipv6 router is not mainstream, not whether PD is used by the provider. I'm sure the latter is already mainstream.
Was busy trying with pfSense ;-).
Maybe the setup is not mainstream, but what's the point of getting a /56 prefix when you can't use all of the subnets ? At the moment I don't really need all the subnets, but how I'm going to use ipv6 on my internal network when at any moment my addresses can change ? Of course I could just use the network right behind the dsl-modem/router but I prefer having a linux firewall between my internal network and the wild wide web.
You can split that /56 into multiple /64s with openSUSE as a router. Also, why do you think your addresses will change? Dhcpv6-pd uses something called DUID which ties your prefix to the hardware, so it shouldn't change.
If it doesn't change why are we even bothering with this whole discussion? Just configure your IPv6 prefix it statically and you're done. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.9°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
