Wanted: 16-Bit ASN for Exchange7
by Fredy Künzler 19 Dec '24

19 Dec '24

If anyone has a 16-Bit ASN spare and is willing to sell it for a decent price, please contact me off list. No fancy number required. RIPE NCC is handing out ASNs from just one pool these days, and the pool contains probably 99% 32-Bit ASN. Purpose: Route Servers of our Exchange7 project. -- Fredy Künzler Init7 (Switzerland) Ltd.

Residential FTTH IPv6
by Mat Kowalski 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hi all, This came up recently when I was talking with some colleagues about residential connections... You know, regular stuff people discuss over a beer or two... We all know Init7 is recognized as The Provider for power users and no one argues with that. But also everyone knows we have mainstream ones kinda-supporting IPv6. Swisscom gives public IPv4 and IPv6 via 6rd tunnel. Similar with Sunrise, but sometimes you end up on CG-NAT. Salt is only CG-NAT, at least according to the anecdotal proofs. Power users wouldn't be power if they did not try stuff. So I took my Sunrise FTTH over native fiber (EWZ in my case, not Swisscom BBCS) and it turns out I get public IPv4 from DHCP (expected) as well as IPv6 /56 prefix via DHCPv6 (not expected at all). The last one is extremely surprising - the status quo was that you can get IPv6 with Sunrise via 6rd, but DHCPv6 is a novelty. Or is it not? What is the state in 2024 ? Who does IPv6 ? Who does it natively ? I am surprised there is no single google result about Sunrise doing DHCPv6 so I wonder what we don't know about other ISPs. Cheers and have a nice day, Mat
