morning all
can you justify paying your upstream for ipv6 ?
specially when you're commit to 2gbps
I tend to expect bandwidth outside of consumer bandwidth is "justifiable address space included in the price"
I was rather miffed years ago when I had a client's colo at he.net and they wanted to charge for v6 as an added revenue stream for them
o
ok
na ipv6 will be free
i talked them down on cost of ipv4 too
what's a good amount of ipv6 to ask for
i cant even understand the subnetting lol
are you going to be an ISP?
end users should get /64s
sites get /48's
if they only need one subnet
you should put a /64 on each ethernet segment
"sites" eh
i wonder if my switch even supports ipv6, bah
if it does ethernet it should
it should support switching
to switches that have no clue v6 is just multicast and then a different ethernet packet
routing... maybe, maybe not, depends on the switch
or admining via v6, not so much with older switches
ok cool
i host a lot of sites
a /64 supports 18446744073709552000
that many ips ?
2^64
can't i get anything smaller ? heh
use /64's
it makes things easier
yep
no need for a /48
i dont want to be subnetting stuff
jeev: if you only need one subnet, you will want a /64.  Nothing smaller, nothing bigger.
cd $coffee
ok
gawd damnit stuck in ABQ
