[WLANnews] IPv6 in olsr networks

[Manuel Munz]

Hi,

i know this is being discussed for many years now but imo still 
unsolved. What possibilities do we have to use ipv6 inside our mesh 
networks? Because i want to make it possible to configure ipv6 with 
freifunk image generator/meshwizard i started to look into the 
possibilities we have and documented the ones i found so far in the 
freifunk wiki [1]. I would be very interested to hear about other 
concepts about how this can be done or is already done. If you find the 
time it would be highly appreciated if you could add other 
solutions/concepts to this page or discuss them on this list. Of course 
also the concepts i mentioned so far should be discussed. Did i miss 
some points in the pro/contra sections?

I plan to let communities decide which concept they want to use, they 
will be able to select this in their comunity profiles. For our local 
mesh network i actually tend to concept 4 for practical reasons. Imo the 
right way would be to use concept 2 (global addresses) in combination 
with PI+BGP, but unfortunately this option will be to expensive for our 
small mesh.

Regards, soma
