private ap ipv6 prefix #48

Open mkg20001 opened 1 year ago

mkg20001 commented 1 year ago

gets announced via hna, new range for private ap ipv6 prefixes, something like /48

mkg20001 commented 1 year ago

not sure if we can actually do this since we will just get /44 from edis

nbraud commented 1 year ago

Not sure what you mean here. Do you want a distinct IPv6 prefix for each node? Presumably to announce for a LAN with non-OLSR devices ?

mkg20001 commented 1 year ago

exactly. but i'm not sure if we can do that, considering we will get at most a /44 from edis. since for ra we'll need a /64

in principle, we could get allocations from RIPE, but i don't see that being necessary: a /44 still contains 2²⁰ = 1 048 576 separate /64s.

if we ever get to 10k nodes I'll break out the champagne, let alone a million ... but even then, we can give out prefixes as requested, rather than give each device a /60 or something.

Theoretically not necessary, but yes I'm probably the only person ornery-enough to bother with prefixes longer than /64 (and cackle when bad software gets reaaaally sad about it)
