Hi,
The first draft of IPv6 FS is available at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/IPv6+support
now.
Basically based on our previous discussion, we would like to stick to
dnsmasq, and assume shared network for advance zone in the phase one,
to make thing as simple as possible in phase 1.
Comments/questions are welcome!
What's the reason for not doing this in basic networking first? Isn't that
the easiest one?
And in fact basic network is harder...
For basic network, we would allocate IP address from our pod range ip
address, which also known as private ip in our system. That make the
connection between hosts, and would assign the address to SSVM and
CPVM as well. That's much more complex than advance share network,
which we would only need to deal with one certain range of public
network.
Since DHCPv6 doesn't support sending out a default gateway you have to
rely on your own routers sending our Router Advertisements in Basic mode.
When you know the MAC from the Virtual Machine you can calculate the
IPv6 address if you know the subnet and at least open that in the
security groups.

I'm getting the feeling that this implementation will be rushed in by just
skipping a lot of things just to get *some* IPv6 in CloudStack.
We can't just add IPv6 and say *experimental* because people will start
using it.
And why is there a need for radvd when using DHCPv6?
