We've rolled out IPv6 on many eastnet sites with pretty good success however the means of which to transport IPv6 under ax.25 is where the challenge is. If you study how the routing is configured under ax.25, ARP is required - yet in IPv6 ARP is eliminated. To roll out a 100% successful IPv6 environment on RADIO with the exception of 802.11, IPv4 is still required. I wrote about how we're doing this at: https://uronode.n1uro.com/linux/ipv6.html I have a /48 which I broker out to the EastNet FlexNet nodes. While it does work at 1200 baud, because of the IPv4 layer adding overhead it's not necessarily preferred. I haven't tested it on HF and don't really intend to as I would think under poor conditions it may be too difficult to pass the entire protocol layers, even though I've passed IPv4 on HF fine. -- With high-definition TV everything looks bigger and wider - kind of like going to your 25th high school reunion. ----- 73 de Brian N1URO IPv6 Certified SMTP: n1uro-at-n1uro.ampr.org
