Hi Guys, 

I've got a sheeva plug running Debian Squezze (ARM) with
a sixxs tunnel setup in Meath if that helps :)

June it will be world IPv6 day (thanks to David Malone for reminding
me). To mark this occasion I propose that we do the following:
http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/ [1] The Weirdest ping We will set up a
convoluted IPv6 route through the most geographically and technically
diverse set of equipment and send a ping through. What sort of gear:
PC's, Mac, Embedded systems, VM's, hacked set top boxes, phones, toys,
etc. etc. The odder the better. The plus side of doing this is that we
might help out the debugging and porting efforts for ipv6 stacks. Anyone
want to take part?
>> I am on DSL at home with *native* IPv6. DSL
terminates on little Cisco 877. There is however nothing weird behind
this what could speak IPv6 - PC running Ubuntu and Macbook with newest
release of OSX, so they are both well known IPv6 speakers. The only
"geeky" thing there is that my router terminates VPN from outside and
assigns IPv6 to client via PPP (PPTP to be precise), so it let me do
IPv6 on every IPv4 network, which doesn't block PPTP connections out.
Downside - poor speed due to DSL upload being only 512k. Regards, --
