I'm attempting to set up a 6bone router at MIT which will provide
native v6 service on a couple of on-campus ethernets as well as
tunnels for folks topologically near campus..
I'm attempting to follow the script in http://www.6bone.net/6bone_hookup.html
I've contacted a couple people who are listed as pTLA contacts in the
past week or so, and haven't gotten any answers yet. I'm prepared to
be patient, but I have no idea how long to wait; it would be useful if
the 6bone_hookup document set expectations properly by saying
something like, "be prepared to wait a week or two before they get
back to you, these folks are busy".
An addressing model question:
There are a number of folks living near campus with single-IP-address
cable modem connectivity who have their own backend networks and
appear to be interested in playing with v6 tunnels as a NAT
alternative. Should I just allocate each one a subnet or two of a
single shared site? Should I be looking at each of these off-campus
households as a "site"? (assuming i understand the model, this may
mean I'd really want to turn into a pNLA..).
