I don't know if you realise, I most of IPv6 _IS_ currently in 4.x if you compile your kernel with INET6 enabled: genius% uname -a FreeBSD genius.systems.pavilion.net 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #32: Sun Jan 2 18:15:42 GMT 2000 joe@genius.systems.pavilion.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENIUS i386 genius% ifconfig -a lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 fe80:2::1 prefixlen 64 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80:3::260:8ff:fe95:a83c prefixlen 64 inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:60:08:95:a8:3c media: 10baseT/UTP supported media: 10base2/BNC 10baseT/UTP 10base5/AUI genius% ping6 usage: ping6 [-dfnqRrvwW] [-a [alsg]] [-b sockbufsiz] [-c count] [-I interface] [-i wait] [-l preload] [-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-h hoplimit] host [hosts...] genius% traceroute6 usage: traceroute6 [-dlnrv] [-m max_hops] [-p port#] [-q nqueries] [-s src_addr] [-g gateway] [-w wait] host [data size] From route(8): For AF_INET6, the -prefixlen qualifier is available instead of the -mask qualifier because non-continuous masks are not allowed in IPv6. For ex- ample, -prefixlen 32 specifies network mask of ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to be used. The default value of prefixlen is 64 to get along with the aggregatable address. But 0 is as- sumed if default is specified. Note that the qualifier works only for AF_INET6 address family. I don't understand how you can say that it _isn't integrated!
