    Silly usage of AWS EC2 IPv6 prefixes

  • Good point, just had a look at the code. The NF queue will receive packets from all IPs in the /80 and they are all processed and validated by the ghost program that reads from the queue. So it could do the rate limiting there with full visibility.

    How do you fit the fixed 8-bit ULA prefix (fd00::/8) plus the 40 random bits you're supposed to use for the Global ID (per RFC 4193) into six hex characters? It should be at least 12, e.g. fdXX:XXXX:XXXX::/48.

    As for remembering addresses, yes, just use (m)DNS. You can even set up an mDNS Discovery Proxy[0][1] so that devices which don't support mDNS themselves can resolve the names via regular unicast DNS.
