Using IPv6 Via IPv4

Posted by michael on from the early-adopter dept.

Prolog-X writes "``6to4 is an ad-hoc mechanism by which anyone can participate in IPv6 without having to make any arrangements to hook up to an existing IPv6 network.'' Nick Sayer wrote a short but useful tutorial on how to set up 6to4 on a FreeBSD system."

  1. List of 6to4 relay routers by don.g · · Score: 1

    Is there a list of 6to4 relay routers anywhere?

    Or should I just play with 6to4, use anyone's, and take a look with tcpdump at where the packets are coming from (IPv4-wise) to locate a closer relay?

    *sigh* It's a follow-up to an article which was announced on Slashdot September, 3rd. Sure, it's interesting, but I count this one as another item for the old-news folder on Slashdot.

    It is even still the first item in the "older stuff" in the BSD section.

    Now if M$ would just incorporate a IPv6 stack into their Windows Me/98/95.... everything would be heading toward the new standard

    We're one small step closer to an IPv6 internet. Can't say much other than good about this.

      Microsoft has a stack available for Windows 2000, and it also supports 6to4.

      Look here.
