Unsanity.org: IPv6

IPv6

Today I enabled IPv6 as described @ http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/000831. Fun. What's interesting is that tracerouting to one of the IRC servers supporting both IPv4 and IPv6, I get way different results:

traceroute6 calvino.freenode.net results in 4 hops;
traceroute calvino.freenode.net results in 19 hops.

Interesting.

At least on my machine, I start in Switzerland for the traceroute6 one... This seems to be the default 6to4 gateway; there are a few others in /etc/6to4.conf which you can uncomment and stop-stf/start-stf to reenable.
