IPv6 test pages

Here you can test or detect whether your connection is over IPv4 or over native IPv6:

http://www.kame.net/ : the turtle is animated if connection is over native IPv6
http://www.ipv6.bieringer.de/ : 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, ...)

Suggestions, comments and improvements are welcome!

Additional contents

Linux & IPv6: getaddrinfo and search domains - Research
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, RHEL 3,4,5 and Fedora (Core) 1-15 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:
