I guess I am puzzled about the need for tunnels in the architecture. (I found the usage of "vpn" confusing, to me a vpn offers additional features like encryption).
You connect to each node (all 1400 of them?) to gather data via nodewatcher? (Why not just have a dedicated "control" port?) or are the vpns merely to give you a single address space in the case of a partitioned network and the other external links holding it together? ... somewhat unrelated ... I'm dying to know if ipv6 packets can transit all these different product and link types from one edge of the network to another.......... _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
