thanks for the quick answerSupport for RB750's new components was added only in v3.29
again thanks for the _instant_ answernope
welcome, and enjoy the forumagain thanks for the _instant_ answer
I second that bumpageBump.
Please can we take another look at this? 6 to 4 tunnels are a nuisance!
Clearly not.Can mikrotik please give us some hope on this....
Any answer from mikrotik ?Has anyone emailed them asking what timeframe we can expect it in?
I plan on doing this today, obviously if anyone else wants to do so it'd be helpful.
Then we should again wait for IPv32first querter of 21st century %)

Well I've got 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 IPv6 addresses allocated to me (a /48) but I can't use them until MT have IPv6oPPPoE workingIf we used all the IPv6 address' then damm...
I got 2x /64 and a /48 pending... The /64 is used on the Lan, where i don't use PPPoE or VPN's. The /48 is for PPPoE and VPN, so atm uselessWell I've got 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 IPv6 addresses allocated to me (a /48) but I can't use them until MT have IPv6oPPPoE workingIf we used all the IPv6 address' then damm...
OK. Strictly speaking, I can use them if I ditch MT and use something else...

Mikrotik , hurry up .Dear Colleagues,
With the distribution of two /8 blocks to APNIC, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) today announced that less than ten percent of available IPv4 addresses remain unallocated.
“This is a key milestone in the growth and development of the global Internet,” noted Axel Pawlik, Chairman of the NRO. “With less than ten percent of the entire IPv4 address range still available for allocation to RIRs, it is vital that the Internet community take considered and determined action to ensure the global adoption of IPv6. The limited IPv4 addresses will not allow us enough resources to achieve the ambitions we all hold for global Internet access. The deployment of IPv6 is a key infrastructure development that will enable the network to support the billions of people and devices that will connect in the coming years.”

Well the month went by, then a year and still no sign of IPv6 over PPPoE.Any timescale on this? This month, year or decade?We are working on a more complete IPv6 support, and this will be implemented in the way it's supposed to be.
Good grief, doesn't time fly.Well the month went by, then a year and still no sign of IPv6 over PPPoE.
I'll second (third/fourth/whatever) that.Please let's have a timescale on this!
this is a small howto we wrote for connecting to our isp in the UK Andrews and Arnolds aka AAISPHow does IPv6 work on PPPoE anyway? ....
it's like with Blizzards: no timescales until release =)Do you have any timescales?
..... I think you will find a lot of people interested in helping you beta test it once you have it in a testable state.
linkie for the streaming pls ... we're still in the uk you seeguys, haven't you seen that in online streaming? ))
Good stuff. Issue is just, that 2 weeks are gone and no release yet. Where did you see that info ?Good news. Sort of.
MT have announced at MUM that IPv6 over PPP is working in ROS 5. The first release will be within two weeks.
Well.. depends on which forecast. The earliest IANA depletion forecast is currently forecast at less than a year away. The last RIR being being depleted something like 18 months after that.Depletion of IPv4 is at the moment Oct 1st, 2011.
ipv4-to-ipv6 converter cables...Thankfully, v5 beta1 has been released to public just in time! http://aaisp.net.uk/news-1-Apr-2010.html
The same cables, when connected back to front convert IPv4-to-FrameRelay. I guess there's not much use for that these days, but it's a handy thing to have in your toolkit and certainly makes ROS and RB devices much more flexible.ipv4-to-ipv6 converter cables...
I intend to upgrade CPE to ROS v4.x as I migrate and continue to upgrade our network but it is not feasable to pay more / replace all the perfectly good existing equipment that is installed over the past 24 months.As per the License manual http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:License_levels
Level 3 ROS v3.x is only upgradable to ROS v4.x
In one topic the users demand that all features should exclusively be going into a new release while current release contains only fixes, but in this topic you demand that we sacrifice stability to add new features in v4?Bump.. Any update on having IPv6 PPPoE in ROSv4 ?
I have no interest in using V5 nor can we as all our existing CPE is Level 3 licenced and perfectly good equipment. We should not be forced to buy licences within 12 months to get a feature like this. Especially when the feature was implemented and then withdrawn !
Chupaka, you are right this is what I mean..maybe he means license restrictions? 'upgradeable to:'
I agree . new mikrotik versioning is very commercial (of course for mikrotik )Chupaka, you are right this is what I mean..maybe he means license restrictions? 'upgradeable to:'
We have bought loads of CPE over the past 12 months.
This CPE is running V3.30 and has been licenced to Level 3 ROS due to volume licencing.
All our CPE is config'd as PPPoE clients
Now.. We want to use PPPoE and IPv6
Why do we need to upgrade to V5 (stable when available) ?
We are stuck as we are only allowed to upgrade to V4.x which is of no use because PPPoE IPv6 feature is not available and probably never will be in V4.x !! (in my opinion, MT please correct me if I'm wrong)
New equipment being purchased will be fine as Routerboards now come with V4 installed but what about all the V3 that was just installed over the past 10 months !
MikroTik you are moving very fast with version 5 and in my opinion should have completed all IPv6 features in the current version. We are running out of public IP addresses (est Oct 2011) and many ISP's use and rely on PPPoE to deliver service and public addresses to end users.
This is now not possible with current stable versions of ROS. Is it a technical reason or a financial one not to include PPPoE IPv6 in ROS V4 ?
Also since PPPoE IPv6 was in 3.18 it should have been incorporated into V4.x not into V5.x effectively stopping all licence level 3 V3.x users from upgrading and obtaining this feature without paying for another new ROS licence. PPPoE IPv6 must be a CPE level 3 feature in V4.x to allow us to dual stack our recently deployed CPE.
- why do you call it 'beta'?..Beta version is unstable not because it's called "BETA" but because new features have been added.
Normis: Being able to upgrade to v4.x is of no use to us when you need v5.x to handle PPPoE IPv6. BTW, I am fully aware how you upgrade to v4.xThere is no such license restriction, all RouterOS devices can be upgraded to v4. After you click "update license" you will get "upgradable to: v4.x"
It's interesting, but the biggest ISP in Latvia has no interest in IPv6 even today.It is quite late to begin IPv6 transition now, about 1 - 2 years before IPv4 exhaustion. But nobody wanted to hear IPv6 before.
It's a pity to see this. I encourage everyone to start IPv6 as soon as possible, before big providers takes our money and our jobs.
Thanks Normis for the quick response. That is great.and after you upgrade to v4, usually you will be able to upgrade to v5.
did you read this part?I am glad that MT will usually allow upgrade
we have a license exception for betas, you can always test betas, no matter what license upgrade limit you have
I agree with both FIPTech and with Normis. It is the same here in Ireland.It's interesting, but the biggest ISP in Latvia has no interest in IPv6 even today.It is quite late to begin IPv6 transition now, about 1 - 2 years before IPv4 exhaustion. But nobody wanted to hear IPv6 before.

IPv6 via PPPoE is not a new feature as it was avialable at one stage in 3.x ? Right..Officially if you have "Upgradable until v4.x" then you need to purchase a new license, if you want the new features.
As I said, we have made exceptions in the past, but officially it's still so.
Could anyone post a wrap-up, something on the current state of play on this?
Cecil Ward.
I should use Mikrotik-Address-List for my pppoe users . How do i provide ipv6 to pppoe users without radius ?Just wanted to say we've been running the v5 beta version on one of our test boxes with no major problems/crashes etc. KVM access from terminal sometimes locks up but other than that, for a beta it has been very reliable.
Currently running v5beta06 on x86 hardware.
