> 4. Enabling IPv6 on the Router.
> 5. Basic Ipv6 Routing
> 6. More Complex Routing and Route Aggregation.
> 7. OSPF v6
> 8. Inter-Area Routing with OSPF
> 9. Creating IPv6 tunnels over IPv4 networks.

> Apparently VLC player supports both streaming to the network and playing off the network in both IPv4 and IPv6, however, as soon as I try to play the stream, it fails. I chose a multicast address of FF15::1 (I chose FF for Multicast, 1 for flags to signal transient / no RSVP, 5 for site local scope, and ::1 for a group id. I get a "no route to host" from VLC. Any ideas appreciated.

> Also tricky, was thinking of using Miredo (Teredo for Mac) over my iPhone, and then somehow sharing that with a router? Um, this is going to be tricky... Wonder if I can get a /56. Ideas still appreciated.
