The problems include Dynamic, not static, addressing, and the routing used. My sister has CommunityFibre "Fibre To The House" in an ex-council estate, connected from a BT pole. A very high speed pair of fibres link to the local area and are connected via optical splitters to individual premises, and each destination has an optical modem Time Division Multiplexed in to that group. When first connected the IPv6 address could have been a /48, with the fourth block :0:, but it has since been divided with the fourth block :400: and now : 500: while the previous blocks have been changed seven times in about 30 months. It could now be a /52 or /56. Each destination modem uses encryption. They provide a short ethernet link from the fibre modem to a Linksys Velop box which provides IPv6, IPv4 over IPv6, NAT, Wireless, and one or two ethernet outputs. My sister has a VOIP to telephone adapter, so I provided an unmanaged ethernet switch connected to the Velop output. There is no battery backup. If you wish to provide your own local networks you may need to connect an ethernet switch/router between the modem and the Velop. My house is one of about 5 that has not been converted to an HMO with no services provided, in an isolated line of about 80, so I have very little chance of getting FTTP any time soon, but would be interested to know how you get on. -- Chris Bell www.chrisbell.org.uk
