!!!Configuring the metanet with ipv6.
After much discussion and debate we have decided that giving the MetaNet IPv6 addresses isn't such a trivial task. Basically the only types of addresses that work with the structure of MetaNet are Global Unicast Addresses (defined in RFC:2373 and RFC:2374) ie. (Real-World) IP addresses. The RFC:1918 equivalent IPv6 addreses are designed for "site" use only and previous experience (OSPF) has taught us that treating the MetaNet as a single site does not work very well. The problem now becomes how to obtain Global Unicast Addresses that we can use on MetaNet. For now the solution that we have come up with is that each MetaNet user who wants to participate in MetaNetIPv6 testing needs to obtain for themselves a /48 allocation from www.freenet6.net. This will then be routed using bgp+ over the MetaNet.
