Re: [lime-dev] quick comments about bmx6

just to note down what we talked yesterday: 1) on the wiki, http://bmx6.net/projects/bmx6/wiki/Wiki#Blocked-Nodes there's no mention at all that the module "ip6_tunnel" is needed, probably useful to note on compile/install section? 2) there's also no documentation whatsoever about globalPrefix only thing i could find is on the help: --globalPrefix <NETWORK>/<PREFIX-LENGTH> specify global prefix for interfaces but from what i tried, if a globalPrefix is set for an interface (or globally) and the interface doesn't have any ip on that prefix, then it does not get an autoconfigured fd66:66:66 either, and the interface stays disabled. I don't know if that's on purpose, i expected that if the interface had no address in that prefix, it would get activated anyway with the usual fd66:66:66. in any case maybe doc should be more verbose about how it works? finally, 3) you asked for some links about tunnels: tinc-vpn is the mesh vpn, that works perfectly and is a great idea, but being userspace it kills cpu with high traffic http://tinc-vpn.org/ tunneldigger was made by slovenian people, is a simple userspace daemon that sets up L2TP tunnels (kernelspace) to a set of tunnel "servers" https://wlan-si.net/en/blog/2012/10/29/tunneldigger-the-new-vpn-solution/ high traffic is not an issue, but it works in a hub-and-spoke model, there's no mesh concept whatsoever cheers! gui _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev(a)lists.libre-mesh.org https://lists.libre-mesh.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
