You can purchase your own IPv6 block from an RIR and do multi homing.


Yes you can and it will:

* add another entry to the global routing table thus nullifying a benefit of IPv6

* cost a bloody fortune (approx £5,000 per year)

* is your mum able to ask for BGP peering

I am personally able to pay the price for PI but not everyone is and that is my fucking point. Why should your mum not be able to ask for a internet connection that is able to tolerate a failure?

There is NPT but it is simply NAT via another name.

I've been running IPv6 at home for quite a long time. I passed the WAF at least two years ago.

Any more ideas?

Cheers

I haven't tried it myself, but I guess one option would be to use DHCPv6 with low lifetime timers? That way router could stop advertising the prefix from upstream that no longer works.
