In reality, IPv6 uses your mac address and inserts a prefix^H^H^Hmidfix (don't have the book handy) in the middle -- this makes your host autoconfigurable at link and network level. For Internetwork, the prefix for your org. is concatenated. > This might be more for -hackers or -chat, but i thought that it would be > appropriate given the current thread on ipv6 & ipsec implementations. No, it should be on freebsd-net. There's one book (IPv6, O'Reilly ed.), which covers IPv6 in depth, including FreeBSD INRIA. It's in French though :-) -- -[ Philippe Regnauld / sysadmin / regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk / +55.4N +11.3E ]- «Pluto placed his bad dog at the entrance of Hades to keep the dead IN and the living OUT!
