I'm addicted to sipcalc: http://www.routemeister.net/projects/sipcalc/ It's available on standard repositories for MacPorts, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora. I guess install is straightforward in other platforms as well. regards Carlos On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 4:29 PM, Kyle Duren <pixitha.kyle@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I depend on a number of shell tools for manipulating IPv4 addresses, CIDR blocks, etc. like:

 aggis  ipsort.pl  grepcidr  aggregate

I have not yet found much in terms of similar shell utilities for IPv6.  I've spoken to authors of some of these tools and they admit they have not yet produced IPv6-capable versions.  (Not trying to name and shame: those tools are great, I just want more!)

Do folks here know of IPv6 tools that might provide some of the functions the above tools provide for IPv4?

Thanks!

I recommend IPv6gen.

Very useful. Granted its not what you were asking for exactly....

From the site:

"ipv6gen is tool which generates list of IPv6 prefixes of given length from certain prefix according to RFC 3531. (A Flexible Method for Managing the Assignment of Bits of an IPv6 Address Block)"

I use it as well. Great tool. (In the FreeBSD ports tree too). I have also made use of the perl tool Net::IPv6Addr. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/

We use the IPAM tool by 6connect.net, not sure if that is what you are looking for exactly? -Mike -----Original Message----- From: chip [mailto:chip.gwyn@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:40 PM To: Kyle Duren Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: where are all the IPv6 tools?

There's also "sipcalc" which has nothing to do with VOIP.... http://www.routemeister.net/projects/sipcalc/ --chip -- Just my $.02, your mileage may vary,  batteries not included, etc....
