Re: Testing IPv6

I had already visited sixxs but the URL you supply above is
particularly useful. It makes me think there is no IPv6 for me through
comcast.

Few ISPs supply native IPv6. My ISP does supply an IPv6 tunnel
as do places like HE (google HE ipv6 for info). The tunnel consists
of an IP address (the IP tunnel endpoint), 2 ipv6 addresses (the IPv6
tunnel endpoints), and your ipv6 assigned addresses. In my case
the info is this:

208.201.244.208 IP address of my gateway machine
2001:05a8:0:1::0123 my IPv6 tunnel address

208.201.234.221 ISP IP tunnel address
2001:05a8:0:1::0122 ISP IPv6 tunnel address

Setup is done in hostname.gif0

--------
tunnel 208.201.244.208 208.201.234.221
inet6 alias 2001:05a8:0:1::0123 128
dest 2001:05a8:0:1::0122
! route add -inet6 default ::1
! route change -inet6 default -ifp gif0
--------

The first line sets up the tunnel
the second assigns my ipv6 tunnel address
the third line assigns the ISP ipv6 tunnel address
the forth line prepares an ipv6 default route
the final line changes the ipv6 default route to use interface gif0
