- nine_k 2y agoWhat good is your IPv6, Mr Anderson, if your upstream provider and/or middleboxes along the way do not support it?
- pas 2y agoI'm happy to report that - to my utter amazement - my ISP's on-prem device does /64 prefix delegation to each (DHCPv6?) client.
- nine_k 2y agoYes, right now every large provider does that, which is great. That was not the case when the first p2p networks were growing big (Napster, Gnutella, that kind of thing).
- preisschild 2y agoCan you request a bigger delegation? a single /64 is very limiting, since that effectively limits you to 1 subnet (so no extra guest / IoT subnet)
- kiwijamo 2y agoYou could ask your ISP/RSP for another /64? My RSP can do so I believe, not that I've asked.
- preisschild 2y agoWith "good" ISPs that support IPv6 well you'd only have to change your DHCPv6 config to request a larger delegation instead of the default /64. Unfortunately, some ISPs (including mine) limit this to /64 only, which is extremely limiting.
