<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've thought about this quite a bit
over the last few months. I'd like us to take a multi-net
approach here. I think HamWAN is the exact kind of network that
Net-44 aims to please, so I'd like to deploy Net-44 subnets here.
This will allow easy peering with ISPs once HamWAN gets an
Autonomous System Number (ASN). However, IPv4 address space may
be an issue, if not for technical than possibly for political
reasons. So use of Net-44 space may be limited to the most public
endpoints of communication. Only experience will tell.<br>
<br>
To mitigate the risks of Net-44 use, I think it makes sense for
HamWAN to register (a) public IPv6 block(s). There ought to be
plenty of these around, and it'd be good to avoid NAT where
possible. Just one of these IPv6 /64 networks should be enough
for all foreseeable purposes. The tricky part is it may be
impossible to get a block without an ASN. And it's impossible to
get an ASN without existing multi-homed ISP contracts. Correct me
if I'm wrong here. <a

doc</a>. Have not read it all yet, feel free to decode. :)<br>
<br>
Which leaves us with the old private IP space. The problem of
using this is possible collisions with private IP space used by
individuals' home networks. This can be mitigated by using
private IPv6 space, which very few people will be using on their
home networks right now. But I suspect that situation will change
as time passes and we'll once again be in trouble.<br>
<br>
One last consideration is network device compatibility. Does your
VoIP device have IPv6? How about your (possibly old) home
router? Net-44 makes a lot of sense in these scenarios. What
about the devices trying to access HamWAN's resources from the
outside world? Does your ISP allow you to route to an IPv6 HamWAN
address? Asking people to dial into IPv6 tunnelling services is a
further barrier to entry.<br>
<br>
So to wrap it up, I'd like HamWAN to register for a fairly big
chunk of Net-44 (/20?), register at least one IPv6 block, and get
an ASN. From there we'll have the resources to conduct subnet
allocation to users & infrastructure without worrying about
collisions. But in the immediate term, we'll likely end up using
private space. :-/<br>
