Why would the bottom address of a v6 /64 route to loopback? There's literally no entries in the routing table for interface lo.

Edit: v6 anycast, thanks all

With a fresh OpenBSD release just around the corner, this may be a good time to reprise my 2021 article "What every IT person needs to know about OpenBSD" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_every_it_person_needs_to_know_about_openbsd.html (also available in smaller chunks at apnic.net) #openbsd #security #networking #development #freesoftware #libresoftware

In a discussion on LinkedIn somebody opined that PF is "an evolved fork" of IPF.

My as-polite-as-possible correction to that was,

"$poster, It's not a fork.

Rather, an independent implementation that was initially tweaked so OpenBSD kept a mostly compatible configuration syntax.

ipf was removed https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=99118909527873&w=2 and the initial PF import happened later https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=99341215821296&w=2 (with lots of commits following)."

One of the things I really like about #TheRegister is that they put out articles like this one, which is basically an easy-to-comprehend history lesson about how an important part of the internet works. Critically important and fundamental, yet most of us don't even give it a second thought. The TCP/IP protocol.

Edit: It appears to be sorted now. Rather than being a network issue, it appears to have been an Apple TV issue. One clean restore later and it doesn't appear to be having any troubles.

Thanks for the replies and boosts.

Can anyone who knows home networking help me track something down?

When playing games on the Steam Link app on our Apple TV, every eight minutes something causes the stream to stutter for a few seconds. I don't know what it is, and I don't know how to track it down.

I don't think it's the PC I'm streaming from, because I tried it from my Macbook too, and got the same result.

There are no other noticeable effects to the network. BBC radio streams flawlessly on the iPad in the kitchen, Plex/Jellyfin stream perfectly on the Apple TV.

I'm stumped as to what's causing it. The only difference to the network since it started happening was me installing Azuracast on my server, but I shut that down for a bit this evening and it still happened.

So, yeah, any ideas?

I love #ipv6 . But some things are unworkable.

Is anyone using an IPv6 #VPN? Could you share the length of the prefix?

I'm considering submitting a patch to #Linux which would allow #ULAs to be routed automatically (set accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to 64), and I'd like to know good reasons *not* to do that first.

Any #network subsystem maintainers on the fedi?

Tonight it's #NetMCR (https://www.
netmcr.uk/) in #Manchester at the Northern Monk pub (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/northern-monk-refectory-manchester) from 7pm!

"For our September meetup, we’ve a short talk and space for more if you’re keen to offer something on the night:

* Lightning talk: Tim Wilkes, ‘An intro to the NICC’s Open Forum’*
- Just a quick overview of the NICC’s Open Forum and why it might be of interest to attend, later this year."

Go and chat with some nice people, have some weird 🍻, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!

So are NetBSD and OpenBSD the only available options for AI-free router software? Pretty sure all others have it built in or have permitted its use in the OS itself?

This Thursday (8th October) it's #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) in #Manchester from 7pm!

At the moment there's no scheduled talk, so if you feel like giving one yourself, feel free to propose it 😀

Even if there's no talk, it will be nice to meet some like-minded individuals, try some interesting 🍺, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!

It has been __0__ days since I had to fix a networking issue by disabling IPv6. In 2026. 🙄

Does anyone on this fine platform have any experience with the #Unifi series of switches?

I've only used their #wifi access points and I may be in the market for a new layer 3 switch down the road.
