[nycbug-talk] Fw: Greetings from the IPv6 Internet

[Trish Lynch]

(Sorry about top posting, if anyone knows how to make my blackberry not do this, and still have the original message, let me know)

Yes - I experimented with this about 4 years ago - had working tunnels, dns entries, routing, etc., working quite well. Since not many sites were using v6 at the time it became uickly a "old toy" and abandoned to play with other things.

Has the adoption of v6 gotten much wider? If I do this again, is there enough sites running it to make it worthwhile for me?

So after Gene's talk, I went home and registered with Hurricane Electric's
tunnel broker service, and after a little bit of fussing around, the router
on my home network speaks IPv6. (Its actually pretty easy to setup also)

$ nslookup -type=aaaa freebsd.org
Server:         192.168.1.1
Address:        192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
freebsd.org     has AAAA address 2001:4f8:fff6::28

-- snip --

$ ping6 -c 5 2001:4f8:fff6::28
PING 2001:4f8:fff6::28 (2001:4f8:fff6::28): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:4f8:fff6::28: icmp6_seq=0 ttl=56 time=95.8 ms
64 bytes from 2001:4f8:fff6::28: icmp6_seq=1 ttl=56 time=103.3 ms

64 bytes from 2001:4f8:fff6::28: icmp6_seq=4 ttl=56 time=108.9 ms

--- 2001:4f8:fff6::28 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 92.2/100.4/108.9 ms

I have a long way to go, and even though this isn't very impressive, I am
feeling pretty good about myself ;)

My eventual goal is to serve all wireless clients on my network
an IPv6 address, and get a few services like ssh and dns running on IPv6

Has anyone else started experimenting with this yet?
