yeah me and the two guys downstream from me are interested in that.
It has been a fantastic learning experience, and is fun to show guests
when they come to visit.

Will it be possible to keep the same OCCAID /48?

Anyway I'm glad you're interested in working on it!  I've people who
actually notice it's down, and even some IPv6-only services at CCC
Cologne.

What's worst: Solaris will not allow ICMP to kill a TCP connection in
the syn-sent state.  I think ICMP unreachable should be ignored in
'established' state, but not 'syn-sent' state, even according to Gont.
Linux will kill the connection.  FreeBSD will if
net.inet.tcp.icmp_may_rst=1.  NetBSD will with my patch.  but not
Solaris.  Consequently I have to choose between withdrawing the prefix
advertisements on the LAN and breaking things all over the place, or
else waiting 4 minutes to browse any web page that advertises a v6
address.  ...but with the BGP, Linux browsers were ok automatically.

In the mean time I will get my mail service rearranged this weekend so
I'm SixXS-qualified.  I've been running my email at this domain since
1995, but unfortunately it still doesn't pass the kiddie-rejection
heuristic. :)

That's interesting.  Is this with Quagga, or Cisco-only, or I should
be trying a different routing daemon?
