IPv6 test pages

• http://www.kame.net/ : the turtle is animated if connection is over native IPv6
• http://ipv6.aerasec.de/ : the top logo is animated if connection is over native IPv6, also you find some information about your browser and your address in the lower right corner
• http://ipv6.aerasec.de/index2.html : extended version, shows more information about your address (e.g. registry, NIC vendor, ...)
• http://www.space.net/ : animated logo is shown, if connection is over native IPv6

Additional contents

Connecting to the 6bone through PPP with a dynamically-allocated IPv4 address

• For all with a simple PPP dial-up account and the capability to tunnel an IPv6 segment to this dial-up-host and the network behind.

My configuration

• RedHat 7.2, 7.3, 9 and Fedora Core 1,2,3,4 Linux distributions
• Production-kernel 2.6.x (see my IPv6-HowTo-2 for the current used version) - 2.2.x is no longer in productive use by me now
• For IPv6: several software (see my IPv6-HowTo-3 for the current used version)
• Hints for getting this software you will found here: IPv6-HowTo-1
• 3 computers to test IPv6 interface configuration, packet routing and applications:
