Check out the New, Improved Linux IPv6

Last February the USAGI project released the second stable version of IPv6 for Linux. USAGI is managed by volunteers who are dedicated to providing a free improved IPv6 environment on Linux. Many of these volunteers are already known for their work on the Free BSD Kame IPv6 implementation.

The latest version of Linux IPv6 features the following improvements:

• better source address selection
  
• CIMPv6
  
• ICMPv6 Node Information Queries
  
• SNMP statistics per device
  
• IPv6 khttpd
  
• rejoins all-node multicast address on network devices
  
• enables double bind on the same port
  
• supports backward compatibility of sin6_scope_id with old glibc
  
• enables default route when ipv6 forwarding is enabled
  
• rejects invalid ICMPs
  
• complies better with RFC regarding Neighbor Discovery Protocol, Stateless Autoaddress Configuration, and Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol
  
• processes extension headers
  
• provides INSTALL and Configuration documentation
  
• fixes bugs in the original kernel
  

Source codes for Linux IPv6 are available from ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/stable/patch/

Binary packages for RedHat, debian, Turbo Linux, Vine Linux, Kondara/MNU Linux are also available.
