IPv6 tunnel on OpenWRT using tunnelbroker.net

I’m far from an IPv6 expert so this is more a detail of my experiences, rather than a detailed setup guide.TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND

My ISP does not provide native IPv6 yet to their ADSL customers but I wanted to set up IPv6 on my local network, and be able to access the Internet using IPv6. To do this I’m using a free tunnel from tunnelbroker.net. The way this works is that your IPv6 packets are wrapped up in IPv4 and sent to tunnelbroker. There they are unwrapped and sent on their way, as IPv6 packets. Once set up this is transparent to you and you just treat it as a normal IPv6 network.

When you sign up for a free tunnel with tunnelbroker you will receive several pieces of information that you will need to set up your tunnel.

TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND OpenVPN performance on OpenWRT

This is a brief follow-up to this post – sysadminman.net/blog/2011/openvpn-sysadminman-asterisk-tl-wr1043nd-3431 – which details OpenVPN on a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND running OpenWRT.

I used iperf to max out my ADSL link which will run at 8mb. This showed around 35% CPU usage on the TP-LINK so it looks good, at least for my line speed.

Here is the iperf report -

[ 3] local 10.10.10.248 port 56167 connected with 10.20.0.1 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0-10.1 sec 9.25 MBytes 7.65 Mbits/sec

and CPU usage by running ‘top’ on the TP-LINK -

CPU: 17% usr 8% sys 0% nic 63% idle 0% io 0% irq 9% sirq
Load average: 0.00 0.00 0.00 1/35 1194
