[debian] multiple aiccu tunnels
![[de]](/s/countries/de.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Friday, 09 April 2010 11:37:08
I've tried to set up two IPv6 tunnels (one from Easynet and the second one from NetCologne) on a Debian Lenny using the aiccu package available via apt.
Both configuration files contain the tunnel ID, and the NetCologne conf has the default route disabled and a different interface name set (sixxsnc) to distinguish it from the "productive" Easynet setup. However, trying to start aiccu with the NetCologne configuration leaves me with a log entry "aiccu: Already running instance HUP'ed, exiting".
Using FreeBSD, it was possible to start two independent aiccu instances connecting to different v6 providers, so I figure there should be a way to get both tunnels up and running on Debian as well, but I'm just stuck (or too blind to see the solution - it was late in the evening).
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dominik

How are you launching the aiccu instances? Try invoke-rc.d aiccu stop and then as a test launch each directly from the command line.
I haven't thought about running two aiccu instances. I am not sure you would want a separate interface for each tunnel, especially if it they are protocol 41 (static or heartbeat) tunnels. But I may be confused.

I have one very simple question: WHY!?
The PoPs will not pass traffic of the other prefix, thus you will not gain any redundancy. The only thing you will cause is that things will break.

I'm aware that having two tunnels to different PoPs is not going to give me any redundancy, it would just have been easier to compare the NetCologne and EasyNet tunnels (e.g. in terms of latency, bandwidth) by changing the default gateway instead of doing an aiccu stop/change config/aiccu start.
Anyway, it's been a merely academic question, and if aiccu on Linux does not support multiple tunnels, I'll do it the manual way.

It does!
You only have to setup the TUN interfaces to different ones (e.g. sixxs1 and sixxs2) and to start one or both clients with a separate config file (like "aiccu /etc/aiccu2.conf"). It works with my debian lenny server.
Then you have to set one or two routing-rules for source based routing from the subnets (like "/bin/ip -6 rule add from <prefix no 1>::/48 table 66") and a spereate gateway inside the rule (like "/bin/ip -6 route add ::/0 dev sixxs1 via <tunnel 1 endpoint> table 66") for each rule.
I hope, you will find a solution for your error with the existing instance.

You can run hunderds of tunnels in Windows XP, but it will also break all your connectivity, thus it is far from useful.

couldnt i use a routing table to manage the multiple connections?
