| At this stage of IPv6 roll out which is the best way for users without | native IPv6 providing ISPs to use IPv6? Use tunneling.
| In the past I have tunneled from the router to my nearest broker (BT Exact) | but that was a pain because the tunnel would time out and then I'd have to | set another one up which gives a different IP address... This is not a problem with tunnelbrokerage in itself, it's a problem with the implementation at BT Exact. There's plenty of brokers out there which will never expire a tunnel. You may want to check up on www.sixxs.net and use the Kewlio broker (in London). | So recently I set the router to be a 6to4 gateway. This appears to work | really well. My only concern is that it was too easy. Should things this | easy to setup be the most efficient? Well it works well if you have a 6to4 router close to your box; You'll send traffic to 192.88.99.1 and it will take care of IPv6 routing for you. In terms of efficiency people are not yet agreeing on things; I find the asymmetric IPv4 path of 6to4 traffic annoying. As an operator of a 6to4 public relay, I am also not quite content with the way things are, but that's a different story. Bottom line: I'd use configured tunnels if possible, and 6to4 only if normal tunneling is not an option. -- ---------- - - - - -+- - - - - ---------- Pim van Pelt Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ipng.nl/ IPv6 Deployment ----------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 6bone mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.isi.edu/mailman/listinfo/6bone
