Pushing IPV6 throught IPV4 VPN
[us] Carmen Sandiego on Tuesday, 07 August 2012 02:52:57
I have a IPV4 VPN TAP working and it seems that my IPV6 SIXXS TAP is running through it. The question I have is why did the SIXXS TAP decide to use the IPV4 IP VPN as an endpoint. I have two TAPS one VPN IPV4 and one for the SIXXS tunnel. Is this a choke point, if so how do I fix it? Thanks

It does not make any decisions like that, it just sends packets to the PoP. As such, if you want an other interface to be used you'll need to fix your routing tables.

Okay sounds reasonable but I am not sure how to proceed. Do you have a decent reference for working with routing tables in Windows? I appreciate your input.

The primary hint is I think "netsh" as that is the main tool to do tricky network things, but I don't think any variant of Windows supports source based routing (but I can quite well be very wrong there). Likely the easiest way is to route a more specific prefix where the PoP etc lies in over the correct interface. eg: route add 192.0.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 metric 2 Where 192.0.2.0/24 is the prefix where the PoP lies in and 192.168.0.1 is the gateway that you want to route your traffic over. See amongst others: Microsoft: XP - To add a static IP route

Thanks, I will look at this but am confused by IPV6 translation on one interface. I don't see any IPV6 routing.

Oh I get it. Use the POP IPV4 IP. Is this correct?

Yes, as that is where your packets go and by adding that more specific route it will go over the interface requested (and the source address will be properly chosen too etc).

Thanks much. I used to deploy various kinds of data transmission across the U.S. you would think I could remember how to. lol I configured and maintained ATM, frame relay, IP, DSL switches for a carrier but that was long ago.
