| 1177360 | 2011-02-14 04:34:00 | IPv6 doesn't interconnect with IPv4, and never will - it was never designed to. Any routing between the two protocols (e.g. NAT64) is done as a stopgap measure only, mostly by ISPs and large corporates. Good - in that case, I strongly suggest that you use it as such, it'll save you a mega headache. IPv6 doesn't have NAT at all in the classical sense, you can't really do much else :rolleyes:. It's also worth pointing out that if you're using a WebGauge router, they can't count IPv6, and can't route it (no kernel support) - if you want to pass IPv6 traffic through a WebGauge router, you'll need to bridge it directly at the ethernet layer. Webgauge wasn't talking about NATing IPv6 - they were saying NATing IPv4 would be slow*. I wasn't aware that they would not be able to track IPv6 traffic. That defeats the purpose of having a webguage router (for people using IPv6) *slower than a fibre connection. Way faster than a DSL connection |

NAT speeds depend on how powerful the router is - NAT requires much more in the way of resources than plain IP routing. I wasn't aware that they would not be able to track IPv6 traffic. That defeats the purpose of having a webguage router (for people using IPv6)Aaah - yeah that's a good point - if you're wanting to count IPv6 traffic, then you're better off using something else, unless there's something in the works to add IPv6 support to WebGauge. |

| 1177362 | 2011-02-14 05:55:00 | It is dual stack, but Webgauge have told me that routers running DD-WRT & similar have a much better throughput if instead of doing NAT, they pass through public IPv6 addresses to all devices on the LAN. Just checked up on the Xbox. It doesn't support IPv6 :( Unfortunately the current version of WebGauge does not have IPv6 support, and is unlikely to have it for quite some time. I should have clarified that in my email to you - apologies for any inconvenience caused. |

| 1177364 | 2011-02-14 07:20:00 | Erayd: Would Vyatta work in Greven's case (since you're the Vyatta guru after all)?It should do, with one caveat: While Vyatta can provide netflow data, it doesn't do the actual counting - normal practice is to offload the actual data storage and processing of netflow data to another host. Note that you'll need to use version 9 of netflow if you want to export IPv6 data. |
