    IPv6 in Fidonet by the end of 2015

    By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555



    The first Fidonet connect via IPv6 was made on 1 November 2011
    between the systems of Andre Grueneberg of 2:241/545 and that of
    Benny Pedersen of 2:203/0. That was a little over four years ago.

    Fig 1. Number of IPv6 nodes over the years.

    When we look at figure 1, we see a steady rise. From 0 in 2011 to 39
    at the end of 2015. Fig 2 shows the result on a logaritmic scale.

    Fig 2 Logarithm of number of IPv6 nodes.


    Here we see that the growth is almost exponential, the number
    doubling every year. Exponential growth is what one may expect
    in a healthy young population when there are still unlimited
    resources and there is no competition yet.

    Considering that all these 39 nodes are alive, that Fidonet as a whole
    is shrinking and that an estimated 30 to 70% of the nodelist is dead
    wood, this isn't all that bad. It means that a substantial fraction of
    the active Fidonet sysops has made the plunge and upgraded their
    systems to IPv6.

    So the good news is that the subset of Fidonet systems running an
    IPv6 system is still healthy.


    Another interesting observation is that this year we saw some new
    and returning sysops that emerged with a working IPv6 configuration
    right from the start.

    This may be related to another statistic: the rise of native IPv6.
    Of the 39 listed IPv6 capable nodes, almost half (19) are connec-
    ted via native IPv6. The early adopters had to set up tunnels to
    be IPv6 capable, but now more and more are offered native IPv6
    out of the box by their ISP.

    There is a flip side to that. While ISPs are offering native IPv6,
    some of them are doing it via Dslite. This means they no longer
    offer full IPv4 connectivity, but the customers are issued an RFC
    1918 or RFC 6598 IPv4 address. The practical consequence is that
    they can no longer run servers on IPv4. Running a Fidonet node is
    running a server, so this has consequences for Fidonet. In the
    foreseeable future we will see IPv6 only nodes. They can make
    outgoing connections on IPv4 and IPv6, but only accept incoming
    on IPv6. There is already one such node in the nodelist: 2:280/5006
    and no doubt we will see more of it in the coming decade. The extent
    of the impact on Fidonet is hard to predict.

    What we may see is a repetition of what we saw for the first time
    with the coming of ISDN only nodes and for the second time with the
    coming of IP only nodes. Nodes using different protocols that can not interconnect. Fidonet survived both these changes and I have every
    confidence it will survive the coming of IPv6 only nodes too.


    Happy New Year.

    6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
    DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6

    Notes:

    To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
    one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
    node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
    (2002::/16) Windows defaults to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

    JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST =================================================================

    The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

    This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
    the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

    You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
    need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
    operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

    Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
    your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
    your job, school or whatever.

    FIDONEWS INFORMATION =================================================================

    How to Submit an Article

    If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
    are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
    method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
    will appear in the Fidonews:

    a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
    quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

    b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
    time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
    the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
    format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
    the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
    your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
    may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
    personal comments.

    c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.

    Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
    and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
    file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
    extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

    Ideas for Subject areas:

    Subject File | Subject File ----------------------------------|----------------------------------
    From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
    Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
    Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art
    Guest Editorial *.gue | Fidonet Current Events *.cur
    Fidonet Interviews *.inv | Fidonet Software Reviews *.rev
    Fidonet Web Page Reviews *.web | Fidonet Notices *.not
    Getting Fidonet Technical *.ftc | Question Of The Week *.que
    Humor in a Fido Vein *.hfv | Comix in ASCII *.cmx
    Fidonet's Int. Kitchen *.rec | Poet's Corner *.poe
    Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
    Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
    Best of Fidonet *.bof | Letters to the Editor *.let

    If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
    on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

    If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
    in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
    of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
    sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
    article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
    can not fix and I need your help on it.
    Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

    Bj”rn Felten
    Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0
    E-Mail b @ felten dot se
    Skype file bfelten

    IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
    word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
    will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
    folder.

    Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
    That way I will know to look for it.
