I'm new to Ipv6 and trying to understanding something about IPv6 in service provider network. I've got the following questions , could anybody do some helps? 1. In a dial-up network (Q-in-Q for each customer who dials in ) Should each customer be assigned to ipv6 subnet prefix like /64 unique universily? I've read a rfc which stated point-to-point like should be assigned /64. But to my
understanding, in dial-up network , each user should only needed to be assigned a single ipv4 address, with wich customer could used in his PC or his home router.
IPv6 is very different from IPv4. In IPv6, there should be a /64 assigned to the point to point link over which a /48 should be delegated to the customer. If the customer doesn't have a router and is just attaching a single PC, he will not make the Prefix Delegation request and just the point-to-point /64 will be adequate.
2. In dial-up network, could each vlan's ipv6 link-id be planned with its vlan number? if so, IP v6 address confliction could be avoided when BAS is assigned a /64 or longer prefix.
Why would you ever assign a longer prefix? I'm not sure what you mean by "link-id", so I'm not sure what you are attempting to resolve here.
3. we are testing some BAS with IPv6 accessing, in radius accouting packets, there is IP-v6-prefix, Ip-v6-link-id, Ip-v6-delegated-prefix. how could dial-up PC's IPv6 address be calculated with above information?
It probably can't. Why do you need to?
4. should it be necessary to plan different IP-v6-prefix(IP-v6-delegated-prefix) for each dial-up customers in BAS?
There are multiple ways to structure this. If you put all of the customers into a common NBMA network, then you can use a single /64 prefix to number all of the link addresses from a given BAS to the customer sites. All of the CPE routers will use the same address on the BAS as their default gateway. If you put the customers into individual VLANs, then each VLAN should have a /64 prefix assigned to it. Beyond that, if the customer has a router, you should plan on having a /48 delegated prefix for each customer.
5. How could delegated IPv6 prefix be used in service provider's network? is this useful in dial-up access network?
The delegated prefix isn't used in the service provider's network. It is delegated to the customer for them to number their network. It can be used by the customer regardless of attachment method, though the low speeds of dialup make a complex topology on the far side less likely. Owen
