Meanwhile, some national research and education networks in Europe have setup some tunnels to (...)

C. Lin M6Bone routing policy http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=59 2004-04-10 19:32:57 The following routing policy should be applied by the networks connected to the M6Bone. 1. Aggregation and prefixes filtering 1.1. End-Sites The end-sites connected to the M6Bone should at least advertise their site prefix (/48), even if IPv6 multicast is not available in the whole site. Any prefix longer than /48 will be filtered in the rest of the network. 1.2. ISPs providing an IPv6 multicast service The ISPs providing an IPv6 multicast service must perform the same (...) Jerome Durand Connection schemes http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=55 2004-04-06 00:00:00 The following scheme shows the 3 different ways to connect to the M6Bone. Then, each method is described in details, with appropriate generic confirguration examples. 1 - Equipment with no MRIB support If the IPv6 unicast and IPv6 multicast topologies are different, you need to setup a router dedicated for IPv6 multicast. On the figure below, the upstream provider of the site does not provide IPv6 multicast and the site setup a tunnel to the M6Bone. As (...) Jerome Durand Connect to the M6Bone network http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=37 2004-04-05 15:36:36 1. Be aware of the topology of the network The topology article recalls the different protocols implemented in the m6bone and the global connection schemes. 2. Find a site to peer with The sites and maps section recalls the different connected sites at that time. You can connect to Renater’s central router. If you know a site that can offer you IPv6 multicast transit, you can directly contact this site to connect. Remember that it is very important to keep an IPv6 multicast (...)

The tunnels can be: IPv6 multicast over IPv6 unicast IPv6 multicast over IPv4 unicast IPv6 multicast over GRE It is possible also to carry IPv6 multicast in dedicated ATM PVCs. Multicast protocol Interdomain protocols There is no MSDP for IPv6 at that time. There is no wish to (...)
