Group,

Is it possible to run RIPng over 6to4 tunnel?

 RIPng is working fine over Manual and GRE/IP tunnel, but I can not make it
work over 6to4 tunnel. Tunnel itself is fine (I can ping from one end to
another). Only difference (from manual and gre/ip), that I can see, is that
6to4 tunnel is point to multipoint (and not piont to point) by its nature,
so there is no destination address in which musticast RIPng packets can be
encapsulated. As I understood, communication between tunnel endpionts is
over IPV4 infrastructure, and only addresses that have format
2002:IPV4-address::/48 can be found through 6to4 tunnel interface. Is this
mean that RIPng packet destinated to FF02::9 address can not be send over
6to4 tunnel because we do not know to which tunel destination (IPv4 address)
we have to send it?

Did anyone else try this before? Am I missing something here?

rgds,
srdja
