Weblog entry #202 for Steve

Here we go again:IPv6

Assuming I've not messed up we have IPv6 support again.

This time via 6to4.

Only basic testing has been done, but I see from the server access log that a few IPv6 addresses have hit the site so I'll assume it works... until I'm told it is broken.

Can you place a "You're connected trough IPv6" somewhere? then the IPv6 visitor could also see it's working :)

A good suggestion, thanks.

The subtitle "System Administration Tips and Resources" should include IPv6 if you're connected via IPv6 now.

Thanks to miredo, I could test ipv6 connection to this site. I can see the IPv6 tag in the subtitle, but not on some specific pages, like http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/621 (which is an article on miredo!)

Cheers,
Julien

Ahhh that'll be a caching artifact. I'll have to track it down and fix it.

The web ping interface works, the site responds, but I can't ping it from my machine in south america right now.

PING 2002:5910:a162::1(2002:5910:a162::1) 56 data bytes

--- 2002:5910:a162::1 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3001ms

On a related note, is it me failing to do a proper search in the site or there are no articles about ipv6?

IPv6 content here is minimal, the tag results are probably the simplest way to find things and you can see there is little stuff here.

Weird that ping fails, but if the site itself is up and running I'll not worry about it too much.

Now the site is working ok for me. Regarding ipv6, for the curious, if you are behind NAT you just have to install miredo and that's all, in typical debian way.

Looks like you (or me?) might have problem with PMTU discovery. I have 6to4 tunnel on my OpenWRT router that's connected to Internet via PPPoE - so it has mtu 1472 on its 6to4 interface. Unfortunately when I'm trying to reach your site via ipv6 from laptop connected to lan (that has of course mtu 1500) connection times out. Lowering laptop's interface mtu to 1472 allows the site to work again. As I don't have such problems when connecting to my servers (via ipv6 of course), nor ipv6.google.com, I'm guessing it might be something filtered on your side.
