[-- Attachment #1 --] regarding: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html I see a number of 'mistakes', eg using global IPv6 addresses, while this is documentation and thus 2001:db8::/32 should be used for IPv6 and for IPv6 one should use 192.0.2.0/24. it also mentions: "::00:xx:xx:xx:xx 96 bits embedded IPv4 The lower 32 bits are the IPv4 address. Also called “IPv4 compatible IPv6 address”" These have been deprecated. "fec0:: - fef:: 10 bits site-local" which have also been deprecated quite some time ago. Currently one would use Unique Local Address (RFC3513) for that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address a pointer to http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space is maybe appropriate there. Also it mentions "SixXS offers tunnels with end-points all around the globe." but as https//www.sixxs.net/forum/?msg=setup-994088 shows, some people think no client is needed for heartbeat & AYIYA tunnels, which btw work like a charm on dynamic links. AICCU is not always needed as proto-41 static tunnels don't really need it. A link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers might be good too. the net/freenet6 port is most very likely superseded by their gw6c client. Anybody working on this, or should I sent a diff or something? (a link to the 'how we do docs' page would be handy in that case ;) Greets, Jeroen [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFJs9dLKaooUjM+fCMRAlARAJ9GDoEj0iwcGngyLDdQnOkJbohCVACcDDta dXvnhzvoSczOORfj7A67M1c= =QkGg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
