Our site name in the 6bone registry is MIT-SIPB.
Our main router,
limekiller.mit.edu
, is a Sun SPARCstation 5 running a
recent vintage of NetBSD-current,
which has integrated a version of the KAME IPv6 stack. We're using the Zebra BGP4+ implementation to
announce our network blocks to our external connections, and are using
static routes internally for now.
Our connection is via several IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnels from
limekiller.mit.edu
to several
different 6bone backbone sites:
We are currently using an address block allocated from MERIT:
3ffe:1ce1::/32
. We may renumber at any time; this is the
way of IPv6.
We also provide tunnels to other folks, mostly in the general New England area. If you're interested in a tunnel, send mail to <sommerfeld@alum.mit.edu>
SIPB-ETHER
(18.181/16
) and W20-ETHER
(18.187/16
) through two ethernet interfaces on limekiller
; both
statically configured addresses and stateless address
autoconfiguration are enabled.
There's also service on E40-STAFF-ETHER
(18.177/16
),
tunnelled via mumps-11.mit.edu
, and service to the AI
lab, tunneled via repo-man.ai.mit.edu
If you want IPv6 service enabled on subnets other than the ones listed here, and have a machine capable of serving as a tunnel endpoint for the subnet, send mail to <sommerfeld@alum.mit.edu>
IPv6 addresses on MITNET subnets are assigned based on a fairly simple addressing plan .
