Re: Tunnel Broker Bandwidth
I don't think it would really be that hard. The barriers are actually more political than technical. We do not even need to get an IPv6 address allocation from IANA initially. Routes and tunnel endpoints could be distributed either by a p2p network or centrally. Our community routing system would dynamically create tunnels where they are needed in order to take advantage of existing v4 topology. I believe anyone with a /48 from one tunnel provider can publish other routes to it with rtadvd through any other tunnel or path.
I did that once. I got a /48 from freenet6 and used a tunnel from he.net to actually route the traffic (he.net allowed much more bandwidth in those days.) he.net routed traffic to my freenet6 /48 no problem.
So, all each of us needs to do is get a /48 (from any tunnel provider), and set up a 6to4 relay on a public IPv4 address just for our /48, and somehow tell others how to reach our relay. |
