OVH - How to use the API to order any server? The answer is here!
I wrote this tutorial in 2024 and since this it is very popular on the LET Kimsufi topic, I make a few changes to help to understand better how the API works behind the scenes.
There are many APPs that helps you to order machines with OVH API automatable so when you understand the steps, you can use all of them as a pro.
And let me to say thanks to everyone who mention me and my tutorial on the forum.
This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.
Let’s begin.
First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:
Concept 1

| uint16_t CRC16(uint16_t crc, uint8_t *buffer, int len) // Default CRC16 Algo | |
| { | |
| while(len--) | |
| { | |
| crc ^= *buffer++ << 8; | |
| int bits = 0; | |

This will become a short tutorial on how to achieve higher bandwidth on a residential (german) Vodafone DOCSIS internet connection.
A flaw in Vodafone's modem activation process allows for simultanous operation of two modems on one contract:
On a low-loaded DOCSIS 3.1 segment, I am able to achieve 1900 MBit/s download and 95 MBits/ upload bitrate by bundling both modems using MPTCP
