IPv6

NEDERLANDS | ENGLISH

There are many pages on IPv6 and there will propably be lot more when all of it starts to become a fact of life for everyone. Untill then you can get ahead of the game and connect your own network to the IPv6 network if your ISP is not yet up to the challenge. For that you need to sign up to a tunnelbroker to provide you with IPv6 over IPv4 connectivity.

Here in the Netherlands only XS4ALL does allready offer this service as part of their experimental services. And I noticed that T-Mobile has IPv6 active on their web-and-walk service.

It is my firm beflief that we can not sit down and do nothing about the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. The clock is ticking and the counter below is currently a reasonable guestimate when there are no more IPv4 addresses available to assign from the top level. Shortly after that the same problem will occur on lower levels.

I am currently familiar with the following tunnelbrokers:

There is quite a lot of information on IPv6. Some of it points to or explains things based on obsolete RFCs. The following RFCs are important:

RFC2460 - Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification
RFC4291 - IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture
