According to Terry Lambert: > Airport lounges with network connectivity. > Conference rooms with network connectivity. This is not a problem. If one is using Mobile/IPv6, the mobile will be using its home address for everything except traffic on the foreign network where it will have a care-of address. > The world is moving toward there being no such thing as a LAN, per se, > with everything being handled via VPN.

With Mobile/IPv6 you can either tunnel everything through the home agent or use the routing protocol to redirect the packets. If the mobile is trying to send mail, it will either use its home address (thus using its home MTA) or its care-of address (thus using a foreign MTA). In either case, the prefix (the only interesting thing there) will be known. > You aren't going to be able to tell if something is a dialup or not, > because stateless autoconfiguration doesn't have to occur into a > particular prefix. I don't see it much of a problem again. In all these cases, you'll be acquiring an address in a known prefix and people can still put their "dialup" prefixes in a DUL/v6 kind of thing. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #74: Thu Sep 9 00:20:51 CEST 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
