Just out of curiosity, what would you use at the other end of the
IP6 PVC?

It might be a worthwhile project. Obviously, the encapsulation would
need to understand IP6. For CLIP, the ARP code would also need to
be updated. The question is whether anyone would use it (IP6 on HARP).
I do have a "spare time" project of getting RFC1483 bridged encapsulation
into HARP, but that may be a while yet.
All the best,
