Um, er, ah, no, for many years now there has been the AHCP + babeld, which routes /128s out of a /64 across any sort of wired/wireless network over as many hops as needed. I've been doing my best to ignore this discussion, and work on improving that code. You guys can beat your brains out over dhcp's approaches all you want, and expect your ISPs in a cloudy future to deliver something bigger than a /64 ... and bridge low speed wifi over high speed ethernet all you want - - but me, I kind of like being able to move transparently from AP to AP and from wired to wireless and back again, and to not need anything bigger than a /64 to do it. Given the trends towards excessive dynamicism throughout the IPv6 deployment, and the naming issues, and various ways proposed to monetize/make scarce /sub 64 allocations by the ISPS. I think the market will pick ipv6 nat and something like AHCP. -- Dave Täht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
