I discovered to my amazement that my new Airport Extreme Base Station supports IPv6 native and via teredo ... great job Apple!!

native ?

It advertises (with RFC 2461) a native global IPv6 prefix on the LAN bridge and routes over either a 6to4 or a manual tunnel (as appropriate, or when configured). The default configuration is 6to4 tunneling. Alas, it doesn't properly support acquiring native IPv6 service from an ISP with DHCP6 prefix delegation (over either PPPoE or ethernet).


via teredo ? its still a tunnel :) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Teredo_tunneling>

He means it doesn't block Teredo (yet). <http://tools.ietf.org/html/ draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security/> currently suggests that Teredo should be blocked unconditionally when a native IPv6 prefix is advertised, though I expect there to be some debate over that before last call.
