• SixXS changes

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Mon Oct 12 14:47:40 2015
    I don't know how many of us are affected by this, but I got this message this morning (I'm still waiting to see how it affects my three SixXS tunnels):

    Dear Bjorn Felten,

    Unfortunately static is not always static and after almost 11 years of operation on 82.96.56.14 we are having to change the IPv4 address of
    the sesto01 PoP to a new one due to network consolidations at Availo.

    The new IPv4 address of sesto01 is: 83.140.32.162

    There is a special brand new version of sixxsd running on sesto01 which
    will use the latest IP destination as the PoP's side of the tunnel.

    Thus the moment a packet to the new IP address arrives the PoP will
    switch your tunnel over to use that address as a source address for
    packets send to you.

    For static tunnels one has to reconfigure the tunnel to point to
    the new IP address.

    For dynamic tunnels (AYIYA, heartbeat), a restart of AICCU will
    refetch the details of the PoP which include the new PoP parameters.


    Note that everything IPv6 remains the same.

    Please complete this change as soon as possible.
    We will deconfigure the old IPv4 address before the end of the week.

    We apologize for the short notice, unfortunately work and travel are
    a rather major drain in available time to properly implement and test
    a seamless changeover system as has now been implemented in sixxsd.

    Kind regards,
    SixXS

    As I read it, it will only affect those that make use of the sesto01 POP. Since you are the only Fdionet IPv6 node in Scandinavia making use of SixXs, my guess is that you are the only one of us affected.

    One change in eleven yers. That's not bad...

    Yeah, I wasn't really sure about that. I seem to recall that you too recently had some issues with your SixXS tunnel.

    I just wanted you all to know that there seems to be changes on the SixXS tunnels going on.

    Yes, there was a temporary glitch. Most likely not related.

    OK.

    Agreed... Thanks Bjorn for the info :)
