Overview of Teredo Relay Servers

Overview of Teredo Relay Servers is here: http://bgpmon.net/teredo.php

Only 13 in the world ... I'm surprised Teredo/Miredo works so well for me.

IPv6 at 150 kmph

Cool: IPv6 at 150 kmph ... in the train to Brussels. Thanks to KPN Mobile and my Nokia N97 combined with Teredo/Miredo on my Ubuntu. Result:

Let's check your IPv6 connectivity:

OK, you have IPv6 network connectivity. Your IPv6 address is 2001:0:53aa:64c:b6:14c1:4331:57e.

Congratulations: you have IPv6 name resolving, too. This means you have full IPv6 connectivity.

Vigor 2130 supports IPv6 via DHCPv6 and TSPC

Cool: the Vigor 2130 broadband router from Draytek supports IPv6. The WAN-IPv6-connection can be established via Static IPv6, DHCPv6 and TSPC. See included screendump.

Uncool: the price: 119 Euro.

NbIServ.de offers cheap vServers with IPv6

The German vServer / hosting provider NbIServ.de now offers IPv6. As their vServers start at 2.60 Euro per month, this is a great way to get an IPv6 enabled root server based on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse or some other Linux.

One downside: most texts, including the output of the operating system (!), is in German.

IPv6 announcement here, the cheapest vServer with all options here.

SABnzbd + XSnews + IPv6 = Walhalla

Free binary newsserver via Xsnews and IPv6

This is quite incredible: Xsnews offers free access to their binary newsservers over IPv6. I've measured downloads at linespeed (18 Mbps)! It's Xsnews' way to promote IPv6. It works much better than Eweka's and Xs4all's newszilla free IPv6 newsservice.


It's quite easy to get access: fill out your email address on http://www.xsnews.com/ipv6/ipv6_aanvraag.php , and then wait a few minutes for the mail to arrive with all information.
The information will look like

Hostname: reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl
Username: ipv6-12345
Password: aaa12345bb

Fill out that information in SABnzbd (www.sabnzbd.org) and start downloading! This works on Linux and Mac OS X with IPv6 enabled. If you haven't got IPv6 yet, use miredo.
It works automagically on Windows Vista and Windows 7 thanks to the built-in Teredo IPv6. On Windows XP you have to activate Teredo IPv6 yourself.

If you don't use SABnzbd but an other news downloader, you might need the IPv6 address of reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl, which is: 2a02:d28:5580:c::101:5

Happy downloading!

Cool: IPv6 directly connected to "1-wire" sensors

Cool! Someone has used IPv6 to give each "1-wire" sensor it's own IPv6 address and webserver. He has created an IPv6 stack in a microcontroller. Impressive.

PS: you will get some XML code that will show things like temperature.
