Get IPv6 in Denmark
The list and information below is ways of getting connected with IPv6. This page may never be complete, but do send information if you have it. Consider it easy marketing - if you are a hostingprovider that has IPv6 already.
The purpose of this page is
- to make it easy to get started using IPv6
- to choose between multiple possibilities, selecting the best
Configuration options
Get connected to IPv6 using either a tunnelbroker or built-in support in your operating system. Some places to research:
- A tunnelbroker SixXs.net
- Another tunnelbroker is he.net
- Built-in Teredo support in Microsoft Windows operating systems
- Built-in 6to4 in Mac OS X or Apple Airport, see below for more on 6to4 in Denmark
Tunnels configured using the above methods work from behind NAT and are multiplatform.
You can also use these tunnels both on a computer at home or your laptop which is mobile.
Sixxs.net tunnelservers are available across europe, and we are actively working to get some added in Denmark. Henrik Kramshoej and a few others currently (January 2009) use a newly added tunnel server in Copenhagen. Other people use the he.net - both work well from Denmark.
Using 6to4
If you have an official IPv4 address and are in Denmark you might be able to use 6to4 more efficiently than tunnels to tunnelserver. Using 6to4 you will transform your IPv4 into a /48 prefix, which you can use for creating some 65535 networks for your own purposes.
Forskningsnettet in Denmark, close to the DIX recently (april 2008) added a 6to4 relay, so try this:
hlk@laura:hlk$ ping 192.88.99.1
PING 192.88.99.1 (192.88.99.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=251 time=1.125 ms
64 bytes from 192.88.99.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=1.030 ms
--- 192.88.99.1 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 1.030/1.077/1.125/0.057 ms
If your results are low pingtimes you will be able to receive IPv6 packets to your network in IPv4, using the existing infrastructure and routing of IPv4, and also be also to send packets to IPv6 using the relay effeciently.
Search google for information about your operating system, some operating systems kan easily support 6to4.

Be sure to also check the reverse DNS for your 6to4 network
DNS
Transfer your DNS records to either your own server supporting AAAA (quad-A) records or service provider supporting it.
- DK-hostmaster is working to get connected to IPv6
- Gratisdns.dk is already ready for IPv6, they added IPv6 glue recently
