So, why do I have a creeping feeling that google is just running
software on level3's servers? Isn't 8.0.0.0/8 announced by level3.
Wouldn't that suck up 8.8.8.0/24 and 8.8.4.0/24?

That is correct on all counts.  The ticket engine is web based and has 
an interface to email, so anyone listed on ASPEWS (or any other DNSbl we 
use) can still report issues with ASPEWS (for our continual evaluation 
on whether to use it) as well as log support tickets and issues about 
SORBS listings.


The initial reply from the support ticket will give you an email and 
password that will allow you to login to the support interface.

Of course there are downsides to implementing NAT - adding any feature

market, MTBF etc. And there is certainly a downside to *deploying* NAT:
NAT removes end-to-end transparency.

Gotta keep those SOHO users in their cages, don't want them becoming
independent producers of digital value, no sir!

Seriously - by all means keep NAT as a technology for those who want to
deploy it; we can't uninvent it anyway. It just shouldn't be imposed on
others.

I would argue that an ISP requiring of a customer that they use a NATted
solution with IPv6 *is* imposing it on others.

I think they're (all) listed here:
http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Broadband_CPE


And from an operators perspective (not manufacturer):

Free ISP ADSL (and fiber) operator in France does IPv6 natively to the 
end user with Router Advertisement since 2 years now.  I think these 
CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) are called simply box in France 
(freebox, livebox, dartybox, and more).  Between the Free box and the 
core network there is proprietary IPv6-in-IPv4 encapsualtion, not 6to4. 
 No DHCPv6-PD, which I feel as a big restriction.


Plans for livebox and 9box IPv6 do exist if not already deployed.

Spanish FON Fonera based on openwrt, when I checked 2008, did IPv6 
somehow, not sure whether natively.

http://boards.fon.com/viewtopic.php?f=1t=4532view=previous

From memory, at least one Japanese residential operator did IPv6 to the 
home several years ago, with explicit IPv6 advertisement on TV during 
prime time.

Does anyone have any leads to information about such products (In production

 You're correct, out of the box there aren't many.  The first couple that 
 come to mind are the Apple Airport Express and Airport Extreme, but I don't 
 believe Linksys/Netgear/etc. have support out of the box.

 The Apple products do 6to4 out of the box, but don't support v6 natively.

 Apple seems to have ideological objections to DHCPv6, so at the moment
 there's little hope at all that prefix delegation will work on any of their
 CPE products.

Can Airport relay the DHCPv6 request to the service provider ?

Re: Consumer Grade - IPV6 Enabled Router Firewalls.

2009-12-12 Thread Rubens Kuhl
 I challenge the usual suspects to deliver actual working dual stack IPv6 ADSL 
 CPE rather than feigning interest.   None of the major CPE vendors appear to 
 have a v6 plan despite your claims.   We have an IPv6 dual stack trial for 
 ADSL going on and not a single CPE from the _major consumer CPE vendors_.

I've saw some ADSL CPEs that could bridge specific frame types. It
would be feasible to think of an ADSL CPE that would simply bridge
IPv4/ARP and IPv6 ethertypes and have a dual-stack BRAS service the
users, or bridge IPv4/ARP to a VC(Virtual Circuit) and IPv6 to another
VC, or NAT+Route IPv4 to a VC and bridge IPv6 to other VC.

In an IPv6 world where NAT is not a requirement (paranoids are welcome
to buy their own IPv6 firewalls), bridging with some L4 intelligence
might be all that a CPE needs to do. The IPv6 idea of letting
end-nodes have more work and intermediate nodes have less work also
applies to CPEs.

Perhaps people wouldn't have to email you if the robot actually did what
it said it was going to do.  Your website promises that the robot will
get things delisted out of the DUHL zone in 3 to 5 hours.

It has been more than 3 to 5 hours, and it is costing me money.
Considering that you shouldn't have listed the space to begin with, I
think it would be fantastic if you updated the website to reflect the
reality of the situation.

While I am sorry to hear that most of the people you deal with are
morons, it does not change the facts that SORBS listed IP address space
for no valid reason, other than the first version of the RDNS not
having .static. in it.

Perhaps if this sort of thing didn't keep happening, on a regular basis,
we would never hear about SORBS, MAPS, or any other RBLs on NANOG in a
bad light.

Personally, I like SORBS.  I would like to continue to be able to use
SORBS on my mail servers.  The fact that my addresses are listed as
being dynamic in SORBS when they are not, and it hasn't been fixed in
the timeframe that the website promises it would be fixed in, is making
me re-evaluate whether or not I should use SORBS and recommend it to
people looking for good DNSBLs to use on their mailservers.

 NO I DO NOT ACCEPT DELISTING REQUESTS OUT OF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM!

Then you should make your delisting process more streamlined.  You
already have a robot for most things, make it do the next step and just
delist the IP ranges it is given.

only, static IPv6, and IPv6 with DHCP-PD (with a stateful firewall).  
- on the LAN interface does the regular IPv4 stuff, Link-Local only, static
IPv6, and stateful and stateless DHCPv6.  
- allows me to run IPv4, IPv6, or both

While the support burden will be raised, I think the network needs to be
dual-stack from end-to-end if SPs want to keep middle-boxes out.  But for
those who really do run out of IPv4 addresses, I'm not sure how middle-boxes
can be avoided.  Kind of hard to tell customer n+1 that they can only visit
the IPv6 part of the web.  Perhaps new customers will have to use a service
provider's CGN and share IPv4 addresses until enough of the internet is
dual-stack.

 I challenge the usual suspects to deliver actual working dual stack IPv6
ADSL CPE rather than feigning interest.   None of the major CPE vendors
appear to have a v6 plan despite your claims.   We have an IPv6 dual stack
trial for ADSL going on and not a single CPE from the _major consumer CPE
vendors_.

I've saw some ADSL CPEs that could bridge specific frame types. It
would be feasible to think of an ADSL CPE that would simply bridge
IPv4/ARP and IPv6 ethertypes and have a dual-stack BRAS service the
users, or bridge IPv4/ARP to a VC(Virtual Circuit) and IPv6 to another
VC, or NAT+Route IPv4 to a VC and bridge IPv6 to other VC.

In an IPv6 world where NAT is not a requirement (paranoids are welcome
to buy their own IPv6 firewalls), bridging with some L4 intelligence
might be all that a CPE needs to do. The IPv6 idea of letting
end-nodes have more work and intermediate nodes have less work also
applies to CPEs.
