Hi all
I am trying to configure website for testing ipv6
Just wander how internet users eg: DSL users can visit this website
and any people can access this website over the world
Thank you
1. Your web server (operating system, too) needs to be IPv6 enabled.
2. You need to have IPv6 connectivity between your web server and your borders. If you have firewalls in front of your web server, they also need to be configured to pass IPv6 traffic appropriately.
3. You need to have IPv6 connectivity with at least one outside connectivity provider.
4. Your website should have valid IPv6 DNS (unless you want to force users to type in an IPv6 address to reach your site 
)
There are numerous resources online to help people understand how to deploy IPv6 services on their networks. I would suggest starting there.
http://www.ipv6.com/ is a good starting point.
Whichever web server software you're using (Apache, etc) likely has support information or howtos for setting up IPv6 services. Same goes for whatever operating system you're using.

About 10-6% of the net is dual stack capable, there is a working
IPv6 path from the brower to the server. About 0.4% of the net
prefers IPv6 over IPv4. It was higher but changes to depreference
using 2002::/16 (6to4) as a source address have been pushed in
various OS updates.

This is updated daily.
APNIC/Geoff could use more test data sources.

I meant to post the aggregate graph.
The more optimistic number was that something like 20% - 30% of clients
could retrieve an IPV6-Only Literal URL. So yeah, still sad, but there
is some potential there.
I did this by creating a 6to4 tunnel to a relay provided by
www.tunnelbroker.net provided by Hurricane Electric - a great service they
provide BTW. They provide sample configuration templates for various
routers and OS's. I created the 'tunnel' from a Cisco 871w router (don't
forget to configure a firewall here since you'll get IPv6 public IP's
assigned to you). I used their block of v6 addresses they assigned to me,
along with IPv4 addresses I already had - ie dual-stack, on my various
windows and linux boxes behind my firewall. I then used their IPv6 DNS
server, which returns IPV6 addressing if there's an AAAA record for the
website you are going to. Some sites - like google search are reachable via
different DNS names, like ipv6.google.com or ipv6.cnn.com...and
www.v6.facebook.com.
You can also build / use Teredo tunnels - which I tested and worked as well
- tho not as good as from the routers. This works well for hosts behind
IPv4 NAT
Finally, you can test your personal IPv6 connectivity here:
And you can test if your site, or any site, is reachable via IPv6 here:
http://ipv6-test.com/validate.php if you do not have IPv6 configured.
Good luck,
Kenny
Given most of that traffic is going through automatic tunnels from
behind firewalls that generally havn't been configured to support
the tunnels I don't think it is that bad.

I did this by creating a 6to4 tunnel to a relay provided by
6in4, not 6to4. While HE do operate 6to4 relays, the brokered tunnel
service is 6in4.

A very important distinction I didn't have clear in my head. To regurgitate
some reading I just completed: both methods use v6 in v4 tunneling using ip
proto 41 in the IPv4 protocol field. However, 6to4 derives the IPv4 tunnel
destination of an IPv6 packet based on bits 17-48 of the IPv6 packet - which
when converted, equals the 32 bit IPv4 destination. While 6in4 is
statically configured IPv4 source and destination IP addresses on the Tunnel
(gre) interface. In Cisco world the config comes down to 'tunnel mode
ipv6ip' vs 'tunnel mode ipv6ip 6to4' and a few other lines of config.
Of course there are a lot more details then that searchable via google.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake - it helped me learn some more! Later,
Kenny
Thank you all
Two questions:
If I get the HE as upstream to advertsie our ipv6,
1/ Do we still have www.tunnelbroker.net as tunneling connection?
2/ All the internet users can access our ipv6 website?
Thank you

These are better asked to HE.
Derik,
1. Yes, you still use tunnelbroker.net if you wish you your own IPv6 PI
space tunneled. HE does require you to have an ASN as well. With this
you can multihome up to 5 of their PoPs.
Find more info at their site:
http://tunnelbroker.net/
However, they will give you up to 5 tunnels, each with a /64 and
optional /48 allocated from their address space. However as this is
allocated from their address space, you cannot multihome with it.
They also do have a premium service you can purchase for IPv6 transit as
well:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/06/idUS130127+06-Jun-2011+BW20110606
Also they will sell you native IPv6 with IPv4 service as well. You
provide the circuit to them.
http://he.net/ip_transit.html
2. If you have transit only with HE, all IPv6-connected Internet users
can access you with the except of those single-homed to Cogent or Level
3. Both Cogent and Level 3 refuse to route any IPv6 traffic destined to HE.
Having said that, Hurricane Electric has the most IPv6 peers at present
(more than 3 times the amount of Cogent and Level 3):
http://bgp.he.net/AS6939
I'm using HE for multihomed transit using my PI /44 and ASN (AS19621).
I'm waiting while AT&T and Verizon try to upgrade their PoPs (AT&T in
San Jose, Verizon in Sacramento) to provide me transit on my existing
enterprise IPv4 circuits. I'll continue to use HE as backup transit
even once I get IPv6 connectivity to either or both of the telcos.
The nice thing is that you can get your feet wet with HE for free and no
commitment and get started now while the giants still sleep. Plus, who
knows, HE may remain an IPv6 giant as others grow up, and perhaps this
will raise their IPv4 status to that of coveted Tier 1. Maybe IPv4
transmit won't matter in 10 years, and they'll just stay the top IPv6 dog.
