Ten years ago with the very first communications between two independent implementations, IPv6 became reality (*)!
(*) according to the IETF credo about "running code" (cf RFC 3160 section 7), the first demonstrated interoperability is the real birth of IPv6. [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: here is the log of a communication between ottawa, using the "INRIA" IPv6 stack on NetBSD, and sipper, using the IPv6 stack of OSF/1. This is not the log of the first one because to look at problems was more important than to keep a trace but the second aspect was not forgotten to Jim Bound's surprise (Jim lead the Digital implementor team and was already a great IPv6 supporter). Note: the original (and binary) version is in the downloads section of the Point6 site (http://www.point6.net/) Script started on Thu Mar 30 10:41:42 1995 ottawa# pwd /usr/src/usr.bin/telnet6 ottawa# ./telnet ::204.123.39.2 Trying 0:0:0:0:0:0:cc7b:2702...
