- What kernel version have most IPv6 features build-in ?? (Maybe a feature is

ort_4_linux.html, it is necessary?).

micheal, that article is a bit obsolete. i will update it as soon as 
possible, but until next week there is no chance i can do it (friday i 
will get my MS degree in electronic engineering and i am __very__ busy 
now).

however, the choice of the kernel to use is quite simple: if you need the 
advanced features in usagi kernel (e.g. ISATAP, drop packets with fake 
ipv4-mapped address, RFC 3041 support, anycast support, allow default 
route when forwarding is enabled, Node Information Queries, IPSEC, MIPv6, 
IPv6-in-IPv6 tunneling) you should install the usagi kit. if not, use the 
standard vanilla kernel.


p.s. i wouldn't spend too much time working on ripng. if you wish 
     to analyze routing protocols, perhaps OSPF and BGP4+ would be 
     better choices.
