Unfortunately my home internet has a dynamic IP address. I currently have my PyDECnet
instance at home connected via Multinet to the office where I run another PyDECnet
instance that runs as the area router for area 35, so I don't think I'll be able
to test this IPv6 code at the moment.
Dave,
PyDECnet, inspired by a suggestion from Robert Jarrett who did likewise in his C based
router, can handle dynamic addresses. It does so by periodicallly refreshing the address
data from DNS. It also tries to do this "when needed" though that part of the
algorithm needs more work.
So if you have the ability to use Dynamic DNS and have the A and/or AAAA record updated
when the address changes, that should work.
