4/26 I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
Is this expected to work?
\_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address. The IPv6 addresses you see
in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6
will autogenerate those, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6
router. They're useful when you do things like connect two machines
directly with an ethernet cable: they'll both assign themselves
addresses and it just works. You need a real address to talk to the
directly with an ethernet cable: each machine will assign itself an
address and it just works. You need a real address to talk to the
internet, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address |
