Native IPv6 over Swisscom VDSL
Thanks to our friends at nts.workspace we now have native IPv6 on our VDSL line at home.
There was some fighting with the Vyatta router as there is no support for IPv6CP in VC 6 Alpha 3 that I'm currently using. I got it to work by using another ppp package and some manual edits.
www.calivia.com and sipx-wiki.calivia.com over IPv6
www.calivia.com as well as sipx-wiki.calivia.com are now reachable over IPv6. Thanks to Simon at nts.workspace we now have native IPv6 with a /48 prefix available for our servers.
After I read about Sharing an IPv4 Address Across Multiple Subscribers I got very scared about the future of the Internet and when I found Address Sharing—Coming to a Network near You my fear got even worse.
IPv6 Tunnel with SixXS.net
I'm now the proud owner of an IPv6 tunnel at home.
I signed up for the SixXS tunnel service back in January but did not get around implementing it until today. The tunnel currently runs over AYIYA as my Internet router is not capable of passing protocol 41. An old Buffalo wireless access point (with wireless turned off) with OpenWRT serves as tunnel termination device.
All my Debian and Ubuntu machines automatically fetch upgrades from the Swiss Switch mirror over IPv6.
