Selectel IPv6 Ready!

• Our site is now available through IPv6.
• We got 4 stars for ipv6 support (what RIPE has not yet decided “5 stars”).
• All servers have IPv6 connectivity.

Address Allocation Policy

All our users will receive / 64 networks per server. It doesn’t matter virtual or physical. We will not use stateless configuration. Thus, everyone will be able to reduce the ipv6 address by at least 3 ... how are they still called (pieces between the colons, two octets?)? In short, 12-15 characters. That is, instead of 2a00: ab00: 100: 332: fabc: da92: ae36: 4514, you can use something like 2a00: ab00: 100: 332 :: 2. Still uglier than ipv4, but already memorable. The second important point: we will not use such pleasant ipv6 things as router discovery - you will have to register routing yourself. Why? Because we don’t really want to observe network failures due to the fact that someone has declared himself a router. Good old static configuration, guaranteeing no surprises.

/ 64 implies that you will not have your own routing (that is, you will not be able to divide it into several / 120, etc.) - all the IP addresses that you use will be "equal" within your / 64 network.

For those who need the ability to make their own subnets and the ability to route them, in accordance with the recommendations of RIPE, we will issue / 48 (this is 65 thousand / 64 networks). The exact cost / 48 we have not yet determined. You can already cut this / 48 as your heart desires, at least for / 52, at least for / 120. Most likely, such networks will be interesting for hosts and users with many colocation servers connected via their own routers. Although no one bothers to reconfigure one of the dedicated servers to the router and distribute it to other servers through the local port. In principle, from the moment of issuing / 48 - the fate of the networks and addresses from it, and most importantly - the plan for numbering the network - is entirely at your disposal.

What do u / 48 money come from? For the load on the routers, “membership” fees in RIPE ... Each / 48 (and, by the way, any other network, the question is not the size here) is a line in the routing table. An additional line that incurs overhead on network equipment. You can use the ordered / 48 for any piece of equipment installed within the data center, of course.

If you have your own network (PI), then we can also route it, and even announce it.

PS to get IPv6 settings for your server, you need to go to the server page in the control panel, if there is no settings, write a ticket and engineers will provide the necessary settings.
