| said by JTC:W00t! Just threw my hat into the ring. HE works well for this, but it would be nice to not have to run my v6 traffic out through a tunnel. Agreed on HE (I started with HE; now I use SixxS' AICCU, primarily because of the direct support by 'buntu for AICCU).
The reason we have to use tunnels is due to a lack of public Teredo servers (Windows XP and later includes a native dual IPv4/IPv6 stack starting with XP's Service Pack 2; Teredo is the preferred method for V6-within-V4 tunnels in XP, Vista, or 7, though all three can support native/pure V6). There is support in third-party router firmware (notably OpenWRT, especially with the X-WRT extensions) for configuring residential routers as tunnel endpoints (either HE or SixxS) and creating a dual-stack home LAN (my WRT54GS is configured in this fashion). With the router handling things, as long as the OS in question supports V6 (Windows XP and later, Linux 2.6.x kernels and newer, Solaris/OpenSolaris, most BSDs, and MacOS 10.4 and newer) you're ready to rock. |
