IPv6 6to4 Tutorial 7

Anonymous Coward writes "I've put up a small tutorial on setting up 6to4 (on FreeBSD) and am keeping a list of public 6to4 relay routers (which 6to4 users use to get their traffic to non-6to4 sites). The list is way too short right now, so we need more folks to set up relays and/or let me know about them. The quicker IPv6 becomes popular, the easier the eventual transition will be. here's the URL."

IPv6 6to4 Tutorial

    Is there any way to tunnel IPv6 in TCP or UDP connections? My school's firewall does not allow IPv6 through (it doesn't allow incoming TCP connections either).
  • I know, I shouldn't mention the word 'linux' here, but I do have a question concerning 6to4 that's related to linux.

    The tutorial says ' To set up 6to4, you start with a machine that has both IPv4 and IPv6. I will use FreeBSD 4.x as an example, mostly because it's the one I know best. FreeBSD has a special pseudo-device that can be used to set up 6to4 called stf. Make sure you put pseudo-device stf in your kernel configuration.....'
    Very nice, a complete tutorial how to set up 6to4 on a FreeBSD box, but this is not portable in any way to linux. I tried a search on '6to4' on the net, and I only got matches for the Microsoft ipv6 stack, none for other OS-ses.

    Can anyone point me to a generic 6to4 tutorial, with an explaination about the things to set up, WITHOUT a OS-specific example?

  • As all the OSs have a different way of setting up ip6 over ip4. You probably won't find a usefull generic how-to. There was I site I found in the past that had howto's for many OSs. I can't find the exact link, but start looking at www.freenet6.net [freenet6.net].

    For Linux specific try Linux: IPv6 [bieringer.de]

  • Yes. From what I hear, it's quite common in Japan.

    Here in North America, you'll have one heck of a hard time finding an ISP that's providing IPv6 service directly. Good luck.

  • Look into SIEMENS [siemens.com] over Nortel or Lucent. Their newer telephony products are based off of Solaris.
  • Are there any ISPs that are using something like this to provide dialup IPv6 access? I ask because no one is going to want to deploy IPv6 commercialy until a fair number of users are using IPv6.

    Are companies adding IPv6 to their RAS servers?

  • I'm not as interseted is finding one as I am in "starting" one. I work for an ISP in Colorado and am looking into the feasabliity (sp?) of cutting over to IPv6. I'm not worried about our servers since I run FreeBSD on them but I am worried about our Portmasters. Lucent doen't have anything (that I see) that can handle IPv6.
