Routing protocols?
by Niall Murphy 27 Sep '00

27 Sep '00

Hi folks, I am looking at doing some IPv6 routing and I'm wondering what the status of the various routing protocols is: 1) RIP is working I've been told (but I don't want to use it) 2) Is BGP working/defined? 3) What about IS-IS? 4) Who is doing production v6 routing at the moment? Thanks for any comments you might have. Niall -- Enigma Consulting

Re: IAB/IESG Recommendations on IPv6 Address Delegation
by Turchanyi Geza 13 Sep '00

13 Sep '00

Fred, I would like to add a few comments and a proposal to your marvellous summary. (Even if it is very difficult to say anything at this stage). Comments: 1, The IPv6 address scheme might be valid for two centuries or even longer, and not only for 50 years. 2, The proposed "sparce allocation for subsribers (sites)", "dence allocation for providers (networks)" should work very well for customers, however, not necessarly for providers. You mentioned already the multihoming issues. There is an other open issue: how to scale effectively the routing. Proposal: I suggest adding a clause to your summary: ADDRESS ALLOCATION POLICY will be reviewed every five years. If different address allocation policy will be set up for any reason, then all subscribers and providers having already address space should adopt themselves to the new policy within TEN years, the latest. If they do not adopt, their not properly allocated address space will be blocked from the global routing. Many thanks for your time, best regards, Geza Turchanyi
