Is there support for dynamic IPv4 endpoints? Multicast Support My IPv6 is random and changes often. Why? My static endpoint is broken and I don't want to lose credits My tunnel doesn't work My tunnel goes down after some idletime. My tunnelendpoint also is a NAT/Connection Tracker My tunnel/subnet doesn't work at once My tunnel/subnet stays in deleted state PoPs that are marked down The tunnel is slow Transit / I have some other tunnels and now it doesn't work Tunnel endpoint didn't ping What is the MTU of a tunnel? Where can I get native IPv6 / Which ISPs provide IPv6? Where can I get native IPv6 transit? Which PoP should I choose? Why are some PoPs not available for tunnels

How do I configure my machine to setup the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to the SixXS PoP?

The easiest way is by using AICCU, though if one wants to configure it manually or because AICCU doesn't support your platform, then you can pick your Operating system from the following list. AICCU can configure static, heartbeat and AYIYA tunnels.

The manual methods described below only apply to static proto-41 tunnels. AYIYA and heartbeat tunnels require AICCU.
