There are many people wondering about how to check IPv6 connectivity. The following article will show you how to check IPv6 connectivity.

1. About IPv6 address

1. Use the browser

There are many websites on the Internet that can check IPv6 connectivity, this is one of them:

1. http://test-ipv6.com/

1. http://ipv6.he.net/certification/ (Hurricane Electric IPv6 Certification)
2. http://testmyipv6.com/
3. http://whatismyv6.com/
4. http://ipv6eyechart.ripe.net/ (RIPE IPv6 Day connection chart)
5. http://ipv6-test.com/ (Including checking IPv4 versus IPv6 speed and Website checking)

2. Use 'ping'

Unix operating system :

ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING6 (56 = 40 + 8 + 8 bytes) 2001: db8: 100: 603e: e554: e63: 3494 -> 2a00: 1450: 8003 :: 69
16 bytes from 2a00: 1450: 8003 :: 69, icmp_seq = 0 hlim = 55 time = 40,915 ms
16 bytes from 2a00: 1450: 8003 :: 69, icmp_seq = 1 hlim = 55 time = 41.042 ms
16 bytes from 2a00: 1450: 8003 :: 69, icmp_seq = 2 hlim = 55 time = 41.695 ms
^ C
--- ipv6.l.google.com ping6 statistics ---

round-trip min / avg / max / std-dev = 40.915 / 41.217 / 41.695 / 0.342 ms

Windows operating system :

C: Usersexample> ping ipv6.google.com

3. Use traceroute

Unix operating system:

# traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
traceroute6 to ipv6.l.google.com (2a00: 1450: 8003 :: 69) from 2001: db8: 100: 603e: e554: e63: 3494, 64 hops max, 12 bytes packets
