Hi all, For those of you who are Linux users (or BSD/OS X hackers¹), and happen to encounter an application or service that doesn't appear to work correctly when connected to the IPv6-only network - do try and see if 464XLAT (RFC 6877) solves the problem before giving up and connecting to the default dual-stacked network. A Linux implementation can be found here: https://github.com/toreanderson/clatd I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and so on. I'm unfortunately not in Warszawa, but I am available on IRC (nick "tore"). [1] While clatd is developed and tested only on Linux, I believe it should be possible to port it to BSD/OS X. The actual RFC 6145 packet translations is performed by TAYGA (http://www.litech.org/tayga/) and as long as TAYGA works (I've never tried, but it is available in FreeBSD ports), it ought to be possible to adapt the currently Linux-specific commands in the clatd script that set up the network environment to their BSD/OS X counterparts. Patches are welcome! (Cc: opensource-wg) Tore * Marco Hogewoning > Welcome to Warsaw.
