Link-local v6 and mobile phones
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) ? -- Willy Manga (from where I stand mobile operators do not use yet v6 :-\ ) freenode: ongolaBoy Ubuntu Cameroonian Loco Team https://launchpad.net/~manga-willy

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

the link local address is bound to eps bearer the other end of which is the p-gw. so it's a point-to-point link. so you say what about the radio bearer? there are two kinds, the srb where signalling is present, and the user data which is associated with an eps databearer.
