Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Configuration Utility

## NAME

AICCU - Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Configuration Utility

## SYNOPSIS

**aiccu**  **\<start\|stop\|tunnels\|test\|autotest\|license\>** \[ *config* \]

## DESCRIPTION

AICCU makes it very easy for anybody to get IPv6 connectivity everywhere they want. It uses the TIC (Tunnel Information & Control) protocol to request the information needed to setup a tunnel through which the connectivity is created. AICCU supports the following tunneling protocols: - 6in4 static    (RFC 2893) - 6in4 heartbeat (RFC 2893 + draft-massar-v6ops-heartbeat) - tinc           (http://www.tinc-vpn.org) - AYIYA          (draft-massar-v6ops-ayiya) As AYIYA even works from behind NAT's, thus unless there is a very restrictive firewall in place, anybody should be able to get IPv6 connectivity without problems and everywhere they want.
