an update on me

=> a Linux box with if possible (i.e., not required but better) two
Ethernet interfaces (BTW the two netbooks we (me and Paul) used have
dead fans, so are not usable). A BSD box works too but I used one
a long time ago.

=> Linux boxes, in theory but I never tried a BSD box too.
You didn't ask but the client is supported by any POSIX box,
included recent WIN32 (recent: VS 2010 and full IPv6 support).
There are some differences in Python too, the client runs on
v2 (including old versions, cf RedHat :-) and v3, fake servers only
on recent v2.

=> there is a git repository with the whole code (based on 1.6 as
far as I can remember).

(it is possible (i.e., likely) it is not very up to date)

=> in fact we are talking about the same thing, i.e., the user config
interface of standard OpenWRT.

> googling for mB4 was unrevealing.

=> IPv4 multicast support in the DS-Lite mB4 element
(BTW this means that all multicast items in the version of the SOW I got
are covered by available open source code).

=> which messages? anyway kernel patches are required to fix all
the IPv6 bugs, for instance the stupid MTU of the IPv4 over IPv6
tunneling (I say stupid because in fact it is from extra code :-).

> A couple notes: cpe usually runs dnsmasq.

=> I know: I asked dnsmasq team to fix the EDNS0 size (and not only
they fixed it without delay/discussion/etc, but they read the
corresponding RFC and applied it for other small details...)

> dnsmasq has some but very little ipv6 support in it's git head.

=> we can contact them but they are a bit like a competitor too (:-).

> I can and have run isc-dhcp but it's pretty unworkable.

=> I know Paul made a package for it (should be easier?)

> I've also been working with dibbler of late, but the client is buggy.

=> hum, is Tomasz in the list?

> I was based in paris at the lincs.fr lab until last month

=> I know it (I worked for both INRIA and Institut Telecom)
