In honour of the upcoming World IPv6 day this week, I've set up IPv6 on my shiny new VPS and sent test mail to it from another ip6 site (chiark). It might even see some real mail this week as I move services onto it.

I know the new numbering space is mind-bogglingly vast, but even so it does seem a little bit profligate to have been allocated a /64 (that's a standard allocation of 2⁶⁴ addresses - the square root of the size of the entire IPv6 space) and have just a single host rattling around in it...

It's just a shame there seem to be no consumer devices that support ipv6 yet. Still, there is a fair chance that I'll be able to get 6to4 going and ceremonially tunnel my way to test-ipv6 and Loops Of Zen (that latter link won't work, btw, unless you are IPv6-enabled).
