We have a Hurricane Electric tunnel with a /48 that we are parsing up for nodes, each node gets a /64. Works fine. I routinely connect over ipv6. Hurrican Electric tunnels are super easy to set up. Just realize that wasting gigantic swaths of ipv6 space is *NORMAL*. It takes some getting used to. Your tunnel uses 2 addresses out of a possible 2^64. You aren't expected to use any more of those. Just ask for a /48 and use one of the /64's out of that for your LAN. My understanding with Comcast is that they had a trial, but the trial is currently closed. That may be out-of-date. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
