123
which
is
IP
version
neutral
and
thus
can
be
used
to
secure
the
IPv4
and
IPv6
WLAN
access.
5.1.1.2. Supporting Remote User
The researcher try to offer a tunnel broker and a 6to4 relay for remote users, e.g. students
in
home
networks
or
staff
in
wireless
hotspots
at
conferences.
At
present
tunnel
broker
users connecting
get
either
a
single
IPv6
address or a /64 prefix. To offer more, in
particular a /48
from our
tunnel broker,
we would
need
to
use our
RIPE
membership to
obtain LIR status and get a
larger ‘ISP’ prefix.
The researcher are assisting UKERNA to
deploy
a
national academic IPv6 tunnel broker, using the Hexago
broker which includes
TSP support.
5.1.1.3 Next Step for the Transition
For the next step of the transition several work had to be done:
A
DHCPv6
service
is
required;
implementations
will
be
tested
in
the
near
future (from Cisco and Lucent). This will enable IPv6 DNS resolver discovery
for hosts, but also be used for address allocation.
Work on modifications to Snort to allow IPv6 IDS functions to be used.
A
dynamic DNS service is required for statelessly configuring hosts.
