[NTLUG:Discuss] IPv6 - any one using it?

[Paul Ingendorf]

Can it be done, Yes.  It just generally isn't wise to place machines in the
broadcast domain that are located on a wan connection.  So you don't see it
done very often.  If your network is small enough and you just want to test
it out I would look for information on wan bridging.  Once the bridge is up
you can use ipv4-6, appletalk, IPX you name it.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] IPv6 - any one using it?


Is there any advantages / benefits to using IPv6? I see a lot of
support of it... I haven't
experienced any real-life usage with it.

Are any major/public sites like google, yahoo, ebay, etc accessible via an
IPv6 IP address or would use use an IPv6-IPv4 gateway thingie?

Currently, I use several tunnels to link to different systems. I'm using
vtun to make the tunnels. Once I have the tunnel set up, and set up the
routing beteen the networks to go over the new tunnerls, I can do
2-way traffic between the private networks. Can I use an IPv6 network
to seamlessly connect the networks so it looks like one, big private
network ( as opposed to several private networks with complicated
routing )

Thanks - jack
