Re: DHCPv6 support needed by service providers




On the earlier topic of Airport Extreme, I will be purchasing on of the new models this week and testing one or more of the new features,
probably with a version of ISC DHCP server that supports the latest RFCs.


Oddly, my local Apple store didn't have an Airport Extreme (new model), they just had the newest Time Capsule, which is somewhat more expensive.

Will probably purchase online...

Hi there in Budapest,

your environment description is nice to have - the feature dial-up
clients managed and supervised by NOC sounds heavy.

What about the remote clients connected via WLAN in IPv6 mode ?

I know only 2 chipsets with IPv6 support.

By the way, started yesterday with prototype Neighbor Niscovery (CGA wip) based on SUN SOLARIS. For real, it is hard to find native DHCPv6 support on the server side. They cover a pointer to ISC 4.1 and up.

By the way, does anyone know the MacOS X syntac for monitoring ND daemon
on debug level ?

Hi,

Based on some of the comments, I am wondering beyond Free.fr, whether
anyone knows of any other service providers providing IPv6 to their
customers and how they are dealing with providing them subnet
prefixes? Of these, how many are providing modem/router solutions? I
am thinking of residential providers when I ask this question.

Hi,
I suspect you are interested only in broadband IPv6 provisioning.
NIIF/HUNGARNET is providing IPv6 for their broadband customers. We
are providing service only for limited area of users: academic,
research, educational institutions and public collections. Therefore we
are out-of-scope of your question, however I describe our setup as lessons.


We are providing router to our customers, which is configured and
supervised by our NOC. We configure IPv6 on the CPE routers. For
simplicity we wanted the IPv6 configuration controlled via Radius
backend, which is not working properly in our environment. The next LNS
software release will have the fix. Until the next release we are
allocating /64 IPv6 address from a pool and assigning to customers on
demand for the WAN links, and we allocated /56 and assigned /60 for the
customers, configured statically only to the interested customers. After
the next LNS software release this will be automatically provisioned
from Radius backend via DHCPv6 prefix delegation.


- For CPE router you need fairly complex device - we did not found sub
100 USD CPE router capable of handling DHCPv6 prefix delegation properly.


- The current LNS software limitation does not allow us automatic
provisioning with fixed IPv6 addresses.

We are also providing dial-up IPv6 but in this case only /64 possible in
our setup: dial-up modems might provide enough bandwidth only for
machine according to our view.

       Janos Mohacsi
