micheal, that article is a bit obsolete. i will update it as soon as
possible, but until next week there is no chance i can do it (friday i
will get my MS degree in electronic engineering and i am __very__ busy
now).
however, the choice of the kernel to use is quite simple: if you need the
advanced features in usagi kernel (e.g. ISATAP, drop packets with fake
ipv4-mapped address, RFC 3041 support, anycast support, allow default
route when forwarding is enabled, Node Information Queries, IPSEC, MIPv6,
IPv6-in-IPv6 tunneling) you should install the usagi kit. if not, use the
standard vanilla kernel.
p.s. i wouldn't spend too much time working on ripng. if you wish
to analyze routing protocols, perhaps OSPF and BGP4+ would be
better choices.
