I've read the FAQ, and see there is no equivalent IPv6 for our lovely 44/8. My question is, can we utilize IPv6 with our IPv4 address embedded in it? The reason I want to be able to easily utilize message authentication with IPSEC AH.
We're doing 4 to 6 mapping using 44-net IPs to route IPv6 through FlexNet just fine on EastNet. I drafted a white page on it and also have a list of hosts on https://uronode.n1uro.com (also dual stacked). You can find my whitepaper at: https://uronode.n1uro.com/linux/ipv6.html
I have a /48 subnet from HE.net and give each node that wants one a single IPv6 IP so it can also be dual stacked. Since they also opened up all ports for me, sharing my /48 this way allows for their mail systems to fully function as well. I use my RPi as a mini IPv6 amprgate in a sense to do the routing, and we've been doing IPv6 for just under a year now. While there's no official IPv6 amprnet so to speak of, Brian at least allows for AAAA records in the ampr.org DNS.
As for proof it works these 2 site examples have NO wired internet whatsoever and as you see it's fine: n1uro@asus:~$ traceroute6 k2put.ampr.org traceroute to k2put.ampr.org (2001:470:8a1e::20), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets 1 gw-ipv6.n1uro.com (2001:470:8a1e::1) 38.617 ms 51.747 ms 55.424 ms 2 k2put.ampr.org (2001:470:8a1e::20) 1727.098 ms 1835.171 ms 4692.584 ms n1uro@asus:~$ traceroute6 wb2snn.ampr.org traceroute to wb2snn.ampr.org (2001:470:8a1e::17), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets 1 gw-ipv6.n1uro.com (2001:470:8a1e::1) 39.018 ms 49.048 ms 55.707 ms 2 wb2snn.ampr.org (2001:470:8a1e::17) 1615.153 ms 1734.683 ms 1890.518 ms n1uro@asus:~$

We're not using IPSEC however. It's just straight mappings... but it works fine.
