Supernode how to create a IPV6 subnet on a IPV4 public IP #1033

Open Eloco opened 2 years ago

Eloco commented 2 years ago

i want to run many edge client, V4 subnet has a limit of 256 so i want to run on a V6 subnet, i wonder if it possible to achieve？ (also each edge client can auto get its V6 ip?)

You could use bigger subnets, e.g. by manually assigning IP addresses at the edge using -a 10.10.xx.yy/16 or have the supernode handle bigger networks in case you use auto-assigned IP addresses, please have a look here.

We have some hints for IPv6 in our doc/ folder as well.

Currently, the auto-IP feature only supports IPv4.

That being said, the standard IPv6 link-local addressing will still assign each n2n interface an address automatically, just like normal - so you can possibly use that
