*** Quoting poindexter FORTRAN from a message to deon ***
So, apparently, my router has IPV6 turned on, and is receiving an
IPV6 address from my ISP. One of the people on the Fido IPV6 echo
scanned my address and letme know!
I haven't gotten it working yet, my understanding was that Comcast
wasn't rolling out IPV6 yet.
I had fun playing with this. The router I'm using (EdgeRouter X) takes the block my ISP gives (/64 by default, but I can set it to get a /60 or /56) and then divides that up with different prefixes on my subnets:
I currently have these three networks on my router:
2607:fea8:ab00:b7a1::1/64
2607:fea8:ab00:b7a2::1/64
2607:fea8:ab00:b7a3::1/64
nslookup bbs.nrbbs.net
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.1.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: bbs.nrbbs.net
Addresses: 2607:fea8:ab00:b7a3:f1d0:1:229:664
173.34.186.144
I have my router set to grab a /60 at the moment which means I can have 16
/64 networks. I played with other network lengths and only /64, /60 & /56 seemed to work with my ISP. I'd be happy with a /62 which would give me 4 /64s. But then again, it's not like IPv6 addresses are in short supply... ;)
The only thing that catches me every now & then is when my ISP suddenly
changes prefixes on me, my router doesn't handle that very well sometimes.
