Re: Plusnet IPv6 Trial

From Dave's presentation:

"...should be quite easy to deploy on the low touch network..."

famous last words!

@jab1 @summers 

I did say - "all things being well"

 

I would imagine that as the budget for IPv6 was approved on the basis it would lead to the closure of a legacy platform that it has simply been stalled and not stopped as they look to fix the problems they found.

My reading was it was configuration of the radius server. So basically what your ppp service has to connect to on your router when it authenticates with pus.net. There is a command to ask for IPv6 connection, I left that on on my router - but it never got a reply. So my guess is thats the bit that failing, e.g. at logon you don't get the IPv6 details you need, like router and DNS.

Re: Plusnet IPv6 Trial

Is there any information about what problems the trial hit?

Since the low touch network doesn't involve any of the Plusnet network, and IPv6 does work across the OR network, it isn't obvious to me what the problems would be. 

Edit : thanks @summers - our messages crossed. I suspect you may be correct that it is the authentication that is broken.
