--- Begin Message ---Dear all, I've just merged support for v4-via-v6 routing into babeld master. V4-via-v6 routing is a routing technique that allows routers with only IPv6 addresses (including link-locals) to forward IPv4 packets. It doesn't involve encapsulation (tunnelling), it doesn't involve translation (NAT), it just works. For details, please see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-babel-v4viav6 Short story: v4viav6 is enabled by default if your kernel is recent enough. Just upgrade babeld to current master, and you should see your v6-only routers forward IPv4 packets. In order to disable announcing of v4-via-v6 routes, add the following to your configuration file: default v4-via-v6 false Long story. There are two pieces to v4-via-v6: installing IPv4 routes with an IPv6 next hop, and announcing such routes. By default, babeld will: - install v4-via-v6 routes on Linux 5.2 and later; - announce v4-via-v6 routes on Linux 5.13 and later. The former behaviour cannot be overridden -- we always install v4-via-v6 routes if the kernel supports them, and (obviously) never do otherwise. The latter behaviour can be overridden by the interface option 'v4-via-v6'. Feel free to experiment, but be aware that enabling v4-via-v6 on an older kernel might create ICMP blackholes. Please let me know if you feel that it should be possible to completely disable v4-via-v6 even on newer kernels, and whether you feel that v4-via-v6 should be disabled by default. (The "Security Considerations" section of the draft cited above might be interesting.) Enjoy, -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users--- End Message ---
