Whenever I compile the 2.4.8 kernel's IPv6 stack monolithically, or when I load it as a module, the system's networking speed slows dramatically. TCP and UDP connections take an immensely long time,
Have you only tested ICMP using ping? I was observing odd behaviour of ping6 also but suspect it's actually ping6. So for example ping6 behaves different for me depending if I give it a hostname or a
Mr. Elias, AFAIK, an IPv6-only network called the 6bone does exist; one of the coreteam members talked about it early on. Right now, though, the only two reasons why anyone would run IPv6 is to devel
6bone has been found to survive routing problems in the underlying IPv4 structure used to interconnect IPv6 islands rather well so some people already (try to ...) rely on it. Ralf
DNS. Reversed resolutions for IPv6 are _damnly_ slow. By default ping6 from iputils disables reversed resolution, when you give numeric address. No matter: net results obtained with ping/ping6 from
I rely on it ;) At times I have as much as 30% packet loss between two hosts on ipv4, or the routing table entry in one of the 20 in-between hops is gone completely. In these situations, ipv6 takes m
