[SLUG] Re: Requesting IPv6 address space
Thanks for the advice, everyone. It seems the best option is for me to simply go request a temporary chunk of addresses through a broker. I managed to get on with AARNet (a single IP, not a /48, just for testing) using some linux.sh script, which was much easier than setting up 6to4, which I did about six months ago on one occasion. I was running Gentoo, so I needed to enable SIT support in the kernel and install the iproute2 package before their linux.sh script would work correctly. I'm guessing that ticking the Request a /48 prefix box will give me a few addresses that I can set up my server to route and advertise the scheme via radvd...correct? Additionally, seeing as though I get assigned a dynamic IP from the ISP, I suppose I'll need to do a new request each time my address changes when the power goes out. -- http://jeremy.visser.name/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

You may find one of the other free brokers can handle a moving IP4 at your end. Check out sixxs.net. -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Yup, except they're no longer handing out /48s --- you'll get a /56.

No, because the tunnel broker always assigned the same IP6 address range in response tot eh same TSPC login.
