|    Two ISPs and backup for a home network (    |

      MSGID: 2:5005/49 60d9d79a       CHRS: CP866 2       TZUTC: 0700       TID: hpt/fbsd 1.9.0-cur 2019-12-05       Dear All,              What if I had two IPv6-capable ISPs for my home, and a /64 or a /56 from each       of them? Is it possible to setup a backup link this way?              I know that my home router can advertise multiple global IPv6 prefixes into       the LAN, but how will LAN hosts failover to the backup gateway if the primary       ISP fails? They will have IPv6 addresses from both blocks, which should they       choose for their outgoing src address?              With two IPv4 ISPs and NAT, the setup is rather trivial, outgoing connections       will work via either of the ISPs because the hosts needn't be aware of the       failure, and their src private IP is always the same.              Can anyone enlighten me?              Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN       --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20170303-b20170303        * Origin: Ulthar (2:5005/49)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 50/109 80/1 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 154/10       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 226/30 227/702 229/424 426 550 700 1016 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 5555 282/464 1038       SEEN-BY: 301/0 1 101 113 812 317/3 322/757 342/200 463/68 467/239       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 920/1 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49 53       SEEN-BY: 5015/46 5020/715 830 846 1042 2047 2140 4441 5053/54 5058/104       SEEN-BY: 5064/56 5083/1 444       PATH: 5005/49 5020/1042 301/1 229/426           |
