I've found both the NRL and Inria ports to be very stable. Both of the systems require some tweaking to get 'em running, but once they are up, they seem to do just fine. If you just want to see what IPv6 is like, NRL is easy to put on and take off (it puts binaries and IPv6 kernel sources into /usr/inet6, and you can just remove the kernel). Inria is more complete, and once you've rebuilt the system, everything just works. Both of 'em are changing quickly enough that in six months everything will be different... >And also the advanced socket API? Hmmm. Last time I checked, NRL had more of the API implemented, but I haven't loaded up the latest Inria release yet. (Darn, these folks actually want me to *do something* with IPv6, instead of just installing new releases!) Happy networking, Kevin
