Hello, I got stuck at some IPv6 deployment scenarios I haven't found any solution yet. Maybe you can help me. Consider three Debian servers (A,R1,R2) and two networks. A is connected to both networks using different NICs. R1 is a router in network 1, while R2 is a router in network 2. Both provide IPv6 connectivity using radvd / stateless auto configuration). Assuming, that R1, R2 announce global prefixes: -> Are both of them installed in A's routing table as default routers using their link local address? - Or - can radvd be configured to provide stateless auto configuration for global prefixes without being considered as a default router? If later, how? Does it change when using ULA addresses? -> What happens, if A fires up a web browser trying to reach http://ipv6.google.com. Afaik A's sender address is chosen randomly, using either R1's or R2's network. Is the corresponding router used, accordingly - or - may it occur, that R1 is used in conjunction with an IPv6 address from R2's network? If later: How can I force A to use the corresponding router? Assuming, R1 crashes. Does A detect this? Is R1's default route removed from the routing table, then? Assuming, that R1 is a wifi hotspot router, and R2 a vpn endpoint (OpenVPN, tap, tls-server). -> How can I force the client to use the VPN whenever possible, while using the hotspot network for reaching the VPN-endpoint while using the sender addresses accordingly? Any help is appreciated :-) Thanks in advance, Jan
