To answer your own question - that is precisely why Koenraad thinks his "addresses will change".
To clarify things : My dsl-line isn't absolutely stable. Every time the dsl-signal syncs again, I get a new prefix. E.g. today I already have received two different addresses : 2a02:a03f:2400:7527:3631:c4ff:fe5c:1427 2a02:a03f:2400:7b80:3631:c4ff:fe5c:1427
That sounds like you may have a problem. Have you contacted your ISP about this? It's certainly not normal.
What's not normal ? The prefixes, or the instability ? The prefixes : they want money to have a fixed prefix. The instablility : long story.
The instability that may also be causing your address issues. One reason for changing addresses on IPv4 was the shortage of addresses. So, drop an idle system and give the address to someone else. Then when the first is working again, give it an address, any address. With IPv6, there is no such shortage. In fact, some advocate ISPs handing out nothing smaller than a /48. There are enough /48s to give every person on earth well over 4000 of them and that with 3/4 of the IPv6 address space not being allocated for anything. Bottom line, there is no valid reason for an ISP to keep changing prefixes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
