I was glancing though the latest Computerworld and notice that Telstra have reported to Computerworld that they have facilities for IPv6 and are able to provide IPv6 on their existing products.

So I am wondering if anyone has obtained a IPv6 address yet for their TC modem and what process you go though to get and setup IPv6 on the TelstraClear network?

They do have DNS, and for some time I was able to get some IPv6 stuff going on, but this seems to be gone now. From what I've heard before it was "unofficial".

For example I can ping -6 ipv6.google.com and get name resolution, but can't browse to it.

You won't get this information in public until they are ready.

They have Protocol 41 sent up I beilve https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/6in4

My Ubuntu machines just work over globally addressable IPv6 addresses and can go to ipv6.google.com . I think my router wrt610n auto forwards this as well so the machines just auto config themselves. I don't know much about it as it just works so haven't dug into it much.

Karit: It is probably 6to4 that you are using (as opposed to 6in4.) This automagically generates a range of IPv6 addresses from your public IPv4 address, and is a pretty good way to go for basic IPv6 connectivity. TCL have a relay pretty close to the cable network too:

$ ping -c 5 192.88.99.1
PING 192.88.99.1 (192.88.99.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=23.5 ms
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=59 time=19.8 ms
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=59 time=20.4 ms
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=59 time=20.2 ms
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=59 time=20.0 ms

--- 192.88.99.1 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 19.872/20.846/23.598/1.388 ms

(192.88.99.1 is an anycast address - all 6to4 relays appear on this address, and you get routed to the closest one.)

DOCSIS 3.0 supports IPv6, so when that rolls out, maybe we'll get v6 natively.
