Hi,<BR>
<BR>
for documentation:<BR>
<TT>2001:db8::/32 is reserved, so you could use that range to experiment.</TT><BR>
<BR>
For Site-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses:<BR>
FEC0::/10 was reserved, but this is deprecated now.<BR>
<BR>
Unique-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses:<BR>
fc:00::/7 is reserved, so I believe this is the best choice. You just need to generate a unique 40 bits ID.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, there is plenty of choice to play with <IMG SRC="cid:1211525514.9559.2.camel@pcDries.office.excentis.com" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"><BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
