-*- text -*- Gateway6 Client v6.0-RELEASE ============================ Current Web home: http://go6.net/ What's New ---------- Take a look at the following release notes documents to know which bugs have been resolved, what are the known issues and what new features are included in this version: - HEX-DC-0007 Gateway6 Client Release Notes. - HEX-DC-0009 Gateway6 Client with HAP6 Release Notes. Description ----------- TSP is a control protocol used to establish and maintain static tunnels. The Gateway6 Client is used on the host computer to connect to a tunnel broker using the TSP protocol and to get the information for its tunnel. When it receives the information for the tunnel, the Gateway6 client creates the static tunnel on its operating system. The Gateway6 Client code is mostly identical for all client platforms. However, creating the static tunnel is operating system dependent and is done by a script called by the Gateway6 Client. These scripts are located under the template directory in the Gateway6 Client installation directory. The script executed by the Gateway6 Client to configure the tunnel interface is customized for each type of supported operating system and takes care of all specifics for the target operating system. On Unix systems, it is a shell script. This separation of the binary and script enables fast and easy additions of new operating systems, as has been shown by the community contributions for many operating systems. Packaging --------- The Gateway6 Client is available either as part of the operating system distributions, such as Linux or FreeBSD; as downloadable software from the Web site of the tunnel broker service, such as Freenet6 (http://www.go6.net); as included in the Gateway6 CD-ROM; or directly from Hexago (http://www.hexago.com). Multi-site operation -------------------- The Gateway6 Client may be used to connect to a single Gateway6 server or to multiple servers across different locations. This serves two purposes: providing better quality of service by having users connect to the closest server and also provide redundancy if one site is unavailable. The mechanism used by TSP to announce multiple sites is called a broker list or broker redirection (in the case there's only one element in the list). The client receiving a broker list will test which sites are available and their respective topological distance using echo messages. The client then connects to each broker in the list, the closest one first, until a successful connection is established. Executing the Gateway6 Client ----------------------------- The Gateway6 Client is executed manually by typing the command gw6c. If no keepalive is negotiated, the Gateway6 Client program exits after setting up the tunnel. If the keepalive mechanism is negotiated, the Gateway6 Client forks itself and runs in the background to carry the keepalive with the tunnel broker. Keepalives are mandatory for IPv6 in UDP IPv4 tunnels to keep the NAT mapping up, but are optional for IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels and IPv4 in IPv6 tunnels. Please report bugs in the Gateway6 Client to <support@go6.net>. MAINTAINER: Hexago, Inc (http://www.hexago.com/) Copyright (C) 2007 Hexago, Inc. See CLIENT-LICENSE.TXT for license information.
