ayiya tunnel enough for standalone laptop?
[dk] Shadow Hawkins on Friday, 01 October 2010 09:08:54
Could an ayiya tunnel on a laptop be enough to give that laptop an unique ipv6-adress when it is roaming on different networks? The ::2 of my tunnel to home is a perfectly valid adress, it seems, can be used for both incoming and outgoing connections from the router/firewall itself. Or should we set up our own tunnel-broker for the roaming users? Leif

AYIYA is perfectly suitable for roaming setups, it is what I use it for ;) When you are at a network that has local native IPv6, eg when you plug into the wireless, you will have a proper local route so that local traffic stays local. Good thing about AYIYA is even that roaming between wireless hotspots also works seemlessly. Heck it can even survive hibernate and unhibernate as long as the TCP sessions you have open don't send any keep alive packets.

Would it make sense to allocate all ayaya tunnels for the same user out of the same subnet? Eg I have an ayaya at 2001:16d8:dd00:c5::1-2 If I wanted another for a roaming laptop, could it get 2001:16d8:dd00:c5::3/4 Or do we just say that 3.40282367E38 adresses should be enough for everybody and dont worry about waste? :-)

Per the IETF specification a /64 is a link, as a tunnel is a point to point link, it requires a /64. As the /64's for tunnels come out of a /48 per PoP, there are 65536 possible tunnels per PoP, which indeed, should be enough and effectively does not waste anything much.
