As you're well aware since your name is in the acknowledgements, there's been 
some effort in this direction at CL.  If the problem gets solved in the CMTS 
and the CM, what the router does is kind of beside the point (unless we've 
progressed to wanting to do it on the wireless side too).

 Do they also supply that vlan to the ethernet?

You mean to the southbound ethernet when running as a router instead of to the 
northbound ethernet while running as a bridge?  No idea.  That's not my normal 
use case.

 How is their ipv6 with comcast?

Beats me.  No Comcast handy to test with.

 I *can* tell you that a freshly factory reset Airport Express 802.11n (2nd 
Generation) aka A1392 - the currently for sale $99 one - does pretty much 
exactly what you would hope when plugged into a freshly rebooted cablemodem on 
Another Pretty Darned Big MSO.  That is to say, it gets a PD /64 and you're off 
to the races with native IPv6 on the wireless side.  No warranties expressed or 
implied, but it seems to do what it says on the tin.

A similar test with a freshly factory reset Airport Extreme 802.11n (3rd 
Generation) aka A1301 is disappointing; default configuration is IPv6 link 
local only and although there is a knob to put it into native/automatic IPv6 
configuration it doesn't work as advertised.  But hey, it was discontinued five 
and a half years ago at this point so what do you want?  I figured that a test 
with an even older example I have sitting around in the junk box (A1143) would 
be similarly unsatisfying.

I'd really like to try these native IPv6 tests with my Verizon FIOS at home, 
but I think I already know the outcome...

Consumer products with baked-in VLAN tagging

2015-04-04 Thread Robert Seastrom

Hi folks,

As you may know if you've played around with recent Apple Airports (Express at 
least) in bridge mode with guest network turned on, they seem to know about 
802.1q and have fairly reasonable or at least defensible behavior out of the 
box - that is to say they move the native SSID as untagged, and the guest 
SSID tagged 802.1q VLAN 1003.

This behavior does not appear to be field-modifyable.

So, who else has seen this sort of behavior from other consumer devices, 
running mixed tagged/untagged VLANs in a non-reconfigurable way?

I'd be grateful for any and all pointers.

Thanks,

 I’ve asked a lot of people, “Would you be willing to pay ARIN for RPKI 
 services,” and the answer has always been “no.”  Until I get a “yes,” it’s 
 hard to put a number (other than zero) on how the market values RPKI.  So, 
 asking how much more risk ARIN is willing to take on seems a little premature.

I suspect you would get a similar answer if you asked people Would you be 
willing to pay ARIN for whois services or would you be willing to pay ARIN 
for in-addr.arpa services.

I've always been under the impression that the fees charged annually to my 
orgid were in part to cover the costs associated with running the registry, 
which by definition involves a certain amount of risk.  Am I mistaken?
