Hello,

a little question :)

For mobile operators using v6 on their networks, how do you manage link-local communication between mobile phones ?

While I understand it's layer 2 related, am i able for example to make ping sweep and be able to communicate directly with other phone (customer) ?

No. Your phone has a tunnel to a node in the mobile network and that's the only one you can send packets to. It's a GTP tunnel, but it's very similar to GRE or IPIP or whatever. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
