I've had it running in my house for a few years and aside from my MacBook Air acting strange a few times I haven't noticed a problem with performance or reaching sites. Here's my setup: Router: BananaPi R1 running OpenWRT and doing the IPv6 tunneling ISP: Verizon FIOS 75/75 System: Windows 10 box connected to router via GigE speedtest.xfinity.com tests both IPv4 and IPv6 speeds. IPv4: 83.9 Mbps down, 91.5 Mbps up IPv6: 80.9 Mbps down, 87.9 Mbps up Not really believing those results, I went to ipv6-test.com/speedtest which only tests against a server in Anchorage, AK: IPv4: 57.8 Mbps IPv6: 70.4 Mbps Go figure. -Mark ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: IPv6: it's probably about time I learned it.
I've been running a tunnel to Hurricane Electric for several years now, and would also recommend them if you're looking for some practical experience. One book I've heard recommended several times is Ed Horley's book Practical IPv6 for Windows Administrators. Does get to some topics you might not need. :) Did catch a podcast interview with the author a while back, and there are many more book recommendations in the show notes: http://packetpushers.net/podcast/podcasts/datanauts-006-assessing-ipv6-readiness-2/ There are several more podcast episodes about IPv6 and can search for them. I've also gone through IPv6 Fundamentals by Rick Graziani and I thought that was good. Even though this was a Cisco Press book, wasn't too Cisco specific. More directed to a network admin audience.

My replies in Gmail are not going back to the list, for some reason. Let me also put in a plug for Hurricane Electric at Tunnelbroker.net their IPv6 resources are excellent.

RE: IPv6: it's probably about time I learned it.
Hurricane Electric has some good resources plus a tunnel broker to give you IPv6 in the event your ISP doesn't support it yet. https://tunnelbroker.net -Mark Original message From: Ken D'Ambrosio Date: 7/27/16 2:42 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Gnhlug Discuss Subject: IPv6: it's probably about time I learned it.
