Setting up 6to4 involves at least joining a service like sixxs, which even if free takes a certain amount of time and effort.
The method you quoted does not require an account with a tunnel provider.
There is an RFC giving provisions for global IPv4 to IPv6 routers using the 2002 prefix. Sprint has some 6to4 routers spread around the USA.
I'm using the 6to4 method (for several years now). The only requirement is that you must perform the setup on an Internet-connected router box, not on a workstation behind a router.
The other method that you are thinking of hands out native IPv6 addresses.
Given that I mostly don't know about IPv6, what's the best way for people to test IPv6 next Wednesday, given what I think are the following common limitations:
- they'll have one (or two if we're lucky) Fedora machines
- they'll be using a private LAN behind a $40 router that doesn't know anything about IPv6
- they have very limited time and want to do the minimum work possible to set it up
- they themselves know next to nothing about IPv6 ?
