Talk:IPv6
From Gentoo Linux Wiki
What about situations where the Gentoo box sits behind a NAT router? Using a local interface to determine the public IPv4 address doesn't seem like a good idea then ...
For these, there is Teredo technic - see http://www.simphalempin.com/dev/miredo/
[edit] /etc/conf.d/net snippet for IPv6
I wrote my own IPv6 initscript based entirely on the existing conf.d/net framework (except the MTU parameter which is just not possible yet, AFAIK); the snippet is available here: http://juffo.org/wiki/GentooConfdNetSixxs. I think it should be integrated into this article rather thant he postup/postdown hack that's there currently. Any opinions? -- Intgr 11:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm a little confused about the first part that applies to the new baselayout. Does that preclude the need to get an account with a tunnel broker? Does this also provide for that machine to hand out uniquie ipv6 addresses to clients on a lan with a private subnet?
You don't need an account - and also, you get a /48 prefix of which you can hand out internal addresses to your LAN as you wish.
It would give you multiple /48 prefixes if you have more than one IPv4 address, I only think the first one works though. I feel this is a waste of IPv6 addresses and there should be away to fix this? Can someone help me? Also, I can't get miredo to work (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3929859.html)
