Many of the free 4to6 tunnels will provide a /64 of IPv6 addresses that you |
| 8 |
can assign arbitrarily. They also provide scripts to automatically update |
| 9 |
your 4to6 tunnel's IPv4 address whenever you are assigned a new one. |

Yes, NAT is not available in IPv6, nor is it needed. |

Nope, you can use their MAC address to generate an IPv6 address that will |
| 20 |
always be used for that device. You could /also/ assign the an address |
| 21 |
out of the /64 space given to you by the tunnel broker. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
IPv6 routers exchange routing information so you can use the same IPv6 |
| 24 |
address for a device no matter whose network infrastructure you are using. |
| 25 |
That's one of the great things about IPv6. |

I wanted to do it but never got very far. |
