Does aiccu/AYIYA route subnet on Windows
![[nl]](/s/countries/nl.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 28 September 2010 08:46:24
Hi all,
last week I setup my own AYIYA tunnel (behind a NAT) on Windows 7 x64 using aiccu and after a week I got an extra 5 ISK. So yesterday I requested a subnet (and got one).
Now I try to give connectivity to other hosts on my subnet, as per:
http://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=usingsubnet&os=windows
A minor difference I noted was that my (TapTun) interface was not named 'SixXS', but 'aiccu'. After the configuration of a Windows 7 client (behind the Windows 7 router) no traffic was possible from the client to the internet (it pings the router and the router shows up as the one and only line in tracert).
Some investigation brought me to this page:
http://www.sixxs.net/wiki/Configuring_Windows_Vista
Somewhere at the end of the page (under '(14) If you have issues with your IPv6 connectivity on Vista') it states:
Note: Windows aiccu (as of 2008-03-15 version) does not currently support routing a subnet via aiccu. This may end up being fixed in a newer version, but until then, use another O/S for your routing needs.
Can someone please confirm (or deny) that this statement is indeed true?
And if so, is a newer version available, so I can router using Windows 7?
And if no newer version is available, is there another solution to make it possible to setup my Windows 7 as a IPv6 router? I ask this, because I'm new to IPv6, but I do know absolutly nothing about Linux...
Kind regards,
Ralph.

Hi,
I think not so many of you all use Windows (7) as a router. Maybe that is the reason that noone can answer my question.
But my problem persists and I do not have much experience with IPv6, so I'll try to give some more diagnostic info.
If I do a IPv6 Distributed Traceroute to mu tunnel endpoint (2001:610:600:76e::2) I get this:
Hop Node Loss% Sent Last Avg Best Worst StDev ASN Organisation
1. 2001:838:1:1::1 0.0% 5 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.0
2. 2001:838:5:a::1 0.0% 5 2.0 2.0 1.9 2.1 0.1
3. 2001:7f8:1::a500:1103:1 0.0% 5 2.3 3.7 2.3 9.0 3.0
4. 2001:610:e08:72::74 0.0% 5 2.6 2.6 2.4 2.6 0.1
5. 2001:610:f01:9172::174 0.0% 5 2.9 2.8 2.8 2.9 0.1
6. 2001:610:1:80bb:192:87:102:1 0.0% 5 2.8 2.7 2.6 2.8 0.1
7. 2001:610:600:76e::2 0.0% 5 13.6 16.6 11.2 22.4 5.1
So, that works.
Then I do a tracert to the address on the LAN adapter (2001:610:7c9:b00b::1) that is in the subnet I received (2001:610:7c9::/48). These are the results:
Hop Node Loss% Sent Last Avg Best Worst StDev ASN Organisation
1. 2001:838:1:1::1 0.0% 5 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.6 0.1
2. 2001:838:5:a::1 0.0% 5 1.9 1.9 1.9 2.0 0.1
3. 2001:7f8:1::a500:1103:1 0.0% 5 2.5 4.4 2.3 12.4 4.5
4. 2001:610:e08:72::74 0.0% 5 2.5 2.6 2.5 2.7 0.1
5. 2001:610:f01:9172::174 0.0% 5 2.9 2.9 2.8 2.9 0.1
6. 2001:610:1:80bb:192:87:102:1 0.0% 5 2.8 2.9 2.8 3.0 0.1
7. ??? 100.0 5 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
What I do not understand, is that line 7 does not depict my endpoint IP, but some ???
Can someone please explain why line 7 is not my endpoint? Can it be that my subnet is not routed to my tunnel endpoint?
Thanks for any help,
Ralph.
Does aiccu/AYIYA route subnet on Windows
As mentioned at Future Updates / Wishlist / Known bugs and issues:
"Windows AYIYA implementation doesn't route correctly, requires mac-based fixup."
Thus no, unfortunately not.

Hi Jeroen,
thanks for your reply. Could you please tell me if the routing support will be added for Windows AYIYA? Or should I use a Linux router to be able to use the subnet for the other machines in my network?
It would be very nice to have that support. A couple of my friends would also like to have a IPv6 subnet behind a NET using Windows AYIYA. They also run Windows machines and know almost nothing about Linux. I know that is our problem, but therefore Windows AYIYA routing would be nice to have in aiccu.
Kind regards,
Ralph.

One day there will be support, but don't hold your breath.
Using a Linux/*BSD based host is the better way to go. That or better most likely is to go for a little CPE/NAT box which does OpenWRT/Fritz!Box/Astaro/pfSense/M0n0Wall etc.

Hi Jeroen,
thanks for the confirmation.
So yesterday we spent the better half of the evening to get a Linux distro up and running to route our subnet and... SUCCES!
What did we do (it took us some more time than described here, but maybe someone else can use this info):
- download a small (VMWare) pre-installed image of Debian 5 (http://wwvv.quotrader.org/system/software/debian/5/)
- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade
- apt-get install aiccu
- /sbin/ip -6 addr add 2001:610:XXXX:YYYY::Z/64 dev eth0
- sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
- ip -6 ro add 2001:610:XXXX::/48 dev lo
- apt-get install radvd
- create a /etc/radvd.conf
- radvd start
That's (basicly) all. And it WORKED! What still needs to be done is the firewalling, but that is for another evening ;-)
One thing is bugging us (a little off topic). We are not experienced Linux administrators, so maybe someone can help us with this problem:
We are located behind a NAT and Debian (in VMWare) is getting it's IPv4 address (and DNS server addresses of course) through DHCP. The problem is, that aiccu tries to lookup tic.sixxs.net BEFORE the dhcp client is provided that info. See this excerpt for syslog:

Can someone tell me what I need to reconfigure to make this working in the right order?

In the previous message I said 'behind NET', but I mean 'behind NAT'. Sorry for that...
