- | Note: Private ip addresses must be (source) translated ([[wikipedia:Network_address_translation|NAT]]ted, tcp, udp: [[wikipedia:Port_address_translation|PAT]]) to a public (=non-private) ip address (tcp: [[wikipedia:Internet_socket|socket]]) before its payload can be send into the (public) internet. | ||

start
This is the WIP page for routing with ddwrt. Just to have something to start.
In general router works like this:
apB--------apA-----Internet (WAN) connection | | clientB clientA
Set the (Private_network private) Subnetwork ip (sub)networks to e.g.:
- apA 10.0.0.1/24 Short for: ( address 10.0.0.1 subnet 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 = 24 left-to-right binary ones )
- clientA 10.0.0.12/24 Short for: ( address 10.0.0.12 subnet 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 )
- apB 192.168.168.1/24 Short for: ( address 192.168.168.1 subnet 192.168.168.0 mask 255.255.255.0 )
- clientB 192.168.168.15/24 Short for: ( address 192.168.168.15 subnet 192.168.168.0 mask 255.255.255.0 )
Routing (static) configurations:
- tell clientA that apA is his default gateway (normally done through dhcp)
- tell clientB that apB is his default gateway (normally done through dhcp)
- tell apB that apA is his default gateway
- tell apA that "WAN"-router is his default gateway
- set the apB device to router mode
- tell apA that requests to 192.168.168.0/24 will be routed through (apB) 192.168.168.1/24 (static route)
That's it!
A small bit about link-local addresses
The link-local addresses (rfc5735) ought not to be used as private addresses - but it can be used as private addresses and be NATted:
- 169.254.0.0/16
IPv6 also has link-local addresses (rfc4193):
- FC00::/7
