IPv6 Roll Out

I have set up [email protected] for anyone that want to engage on getting added to the trial or I can be sent a PM.

All Operators except Vumatel trenched, Openserve and Vuma Reach.

We should be on boarding clients by next week Monday :cool:

Tunneling IPv6 over IPv4 is possible and that is likely what other ISPs are doing. We are not looking at that implementation just yet.

I’m also running IPv6 with websquad at the office (Openserve) and home (Vumatel trenched). Their Openserve implementation is native (I just enabled it on the pppoe interface- no tunnel required) and the Vumatel trenched is tunnel (Vuma trenched doesn’t support v6 yet).

Doesn't that just defeat the point of using IPv6?

Not really. Looks like things are staying dual stack for now (so I have a v4 address anyway and for the foreseeable future, dual stack will stay unless every server magically turns on IPv6 overnight). there’s no performance knock (using a USG for the SIT tunnel). That said, the tunnel is a manual setup (both my side and websquad had to set it up for me and assign a static IP), but runs better than the HE tunnel I used before.

I tried to apply but it seems the trial is only for fibre clients.

Hi,

Yes unfortunately it's limited to fibre and only the operators we control DHCP for. The trial might extend to other network and operators in the future.

If im not mistaken Vuma reach dials a PPPoE, on which network does that authenticate on ?

On Vuma Reach PPPoE is managed by Vumatel. The PPPoE credentials are contained in the provisioning config that is pushed to the ONT when provisioning takes placed.

Curious. How’s things been going with your internal testing.

We are facing some challenges.

TP-Link is not playing nice at all with DHCPv6.

We are getting certain routers eating up 2k x IPv6 or more or is requesting the same ip multiple times per second causing a broadcast storm.

Other than that Huawei, D-Link, Mikrotik, Ubiquiti and a few others are working really well.

We are seeing very decent amount of traffic from Netflix, Youtube and console traffic from Xbox. Running Dual stack ipv4 and ipv6. We tested fail over and it's seamless and you won't even know that it failed over to ipv4.

Very promising. On boarding clients very very soon.
