[aklug] Teredo via Miredo for IPv6 access behind a NAT

I keep meaning to mention this for all the IPv6 geeks out there. I have
used sixxs via its AYIYA service but had never used teredo before.
Certainly an interesting transition protocol for use behind a NAT, and
an interesting using of the address space to encode information. Details
here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling

Setting it up in Fedora (19) was dead simple. Install miredo-client and
run it, though I would recommend switching your teredo server to
something like Microsoft's (they are listed in the
/etc/miredo/miredo.conf config file) instead of the experimental one.

I haven't spent that much time using it but access to IPv6 only sites
works. However, for me at least, dual stacked sites tend to prefer IPv4
over IPv6 and I haven't figured out why.

Anyway you can get miredo here if you don't have packages in your
distribution:

Perhaps someone with better access to things like real uplinks (GCI, MTA
etc.) could set up a relay in Alaska? Most likely we end up getting
routed through Hurrican Electrics relays.
