 hexa (clat on linux when) | once you don't bridge and use the ports individually, or you start using vlans, that'll change | 00:21:50 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | also, your isp may be shit (it probably is) and only give you another /64 😄 | 00:22:54 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | which is stupid, because they have lots of ipv6 address space | 00:23:11 |

I just tried requesting a /56 with dhcpcd, but Comcast only gave me a /60 in return. Were you able to get a /56 on consumer Xfinity?
| 00:23:31 |
| Charles | does that unreachable line mean i actually have a /60? | 00:23:51 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | a /60 would support 2^(64-60) /64 subnets | 00:23:55 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | yes, it does | 00:24:15 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | unreachable 2001:16b8:b426:6500::/56 dev lo proto dhcp metric 1024 pref medium
| 00:24:25 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | 🙂 | 00:24:29 |
| Charles | i dismissed that line since it says unreachable and also says lo instead of en-wan lol | 00:25:02 |
| Charles | lucky you lol | 00:25:08 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | * a /60 would support 2^(64-60) = 16 /64 subnets | 00:25:10 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | well it means it terminates locally | 00:25:22 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | it doesn't send traffic toward it over wAN | 00:25:28 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | * it doesn't send traffic toward it over WAN | 00:25:30 |
| Charles | ah | 00:25:36 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | and now you configure more specific routes and they'll get preferred | 00:25:51 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | but the unreachable route is the fallback for all unrouted addresses in that /60 | 00:26:08 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | and now you have a /64 on br-lan | 00:26:39 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | and with IPv6SendRA, that should be everything needed to get started | 00:27:02 |
| Charles | yeah, i have this on my desktop now:

and curl -6 google.com hangs and then times out lol
| 00:27:44 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | heh 😄 | 00:28:00 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | the question is where does it hang | 00:28:10 |
| Charles | unsurprisingly, 100% packet loss | 00:28:15 |
| Charles | maybe i need to adjust my nftables rules | 00:28:37 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | possibly | 00:28:43 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | or enabled forward in sysctl | 00:28:49 |
