(A Flexible Method for Managing the Assignment of Bits of an IPv6 Address Block) -Kyle A while ago I was having some conceptual barriers dealing with sanity-checking a given IPv6 network specification, e.g., why are 2620:0:A0::/48 2620:0:A00::/43 2620:0:500::/41 valid but 2620:0:510::/41 not valid? So I coded up something that would offer a bit of an explanation: checknet 2620:0:510::/41 The network prefix has more bits than the prefix size: 2620::0510::::: ^ This is the rightmost non-zero hex digit for a /41 prefix. If non-zero, the digit must be an 8. Otherwise, the tool the quite basic compared to the others that were mentioned. http://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/andris/tools/checknet -- Andris

We use the IPAM tool by 6connect.net, not sure if that is what you are looking for exactly? -Mike -Original Message- From: chip [mailto:chip.g...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:40 PM To: Kyle Duren Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: where are all the IPv6 tools?

Re: where are all the IPv6 tools?
The PERL Net::IP module provides a basis that would make it fairly easy to implement most of those and does fully support both IPv4 and IPv6. IIRC, those tools predated Net::IP, so, re-implementing them from scratch using Net::IP might be both cleaner and easier.
