Greetings, Question for those who are implementing dual-stack IPv6 on top of an existing multi-segment routed IPv4 network. Are you partitioning your v6 network into the same number of routed segments? Or are you going to play vlan or other tricks and route a single /64 over many or all of your existing IPv4 links?
I'm in an, erm, "discussion" with my Corporate IT department who will provide the link and address space to Engineering. I'm not really an Ethernet guru, but the reasons we (Engineering) want to pretty much exactly parallel the routing structure of the existing IPv4 nets are: - Political: in most cases each link belongs to a single functional group. We think users will want the same for v6. - Security/Availability: these groups often do stupid stuff that causes unintentional denials of service, and it will be easier for us to identify the physical source of the junk and either blackhole the route or disable the port. - DNS delegation: we already delegate several forward and reverse zones to individual lab teams for special testing. These folks will clearly need their own /64 delegated. There are probably more than I can remember right now.... ( we need to get more users on this list... ) Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
