AICCU
Résumé
AICCU (Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Client Utility) was a popular cross-platform utility for automatically configuring an IPv6 tunnel. It is free software available under a BSD license. The utility was originally provided for the SixXS Tunnel Broker but it can also be used by a variety of other tunnel brokers.
AICCU was written and maintained by Jeroen Massar. Various patches from other persons have been incorporated, these persons are acknowledged in the field for their contributions. AICCU is the successor of the Windows-only and Linux/BSD-variety of the Heartbeat tool that was provided by SixXS, solely to use the Heartbeat protocol. When the AYIYA protocol came into existence it was decided that to support this new protocol it would be better to merge the Windows and Unix trees into one program and give it a better appearance. The name of the Heartbeat tool was then changed to reflect that it did more than providing mere support for the heartbeats.
AICCU has won the Award of Excellence in the Implementation Category of the 2004 Edition of the IPv6 Application Contest.
The following tunneling protocols are currently supported:
6in4 - Standard IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels using protocol 41 in the IPv4 protocol header.
AYIYA - For IPv6 over IPv4 UDP in a secure manner and being able to work through a NAT.
6in4 Heartbeat - used for dynamic 6in4 tunnels
AICCU primarily uses the TIC protocol to retrieve the configuration parameters of the tunnel automatically that the user wants to have configured.
AICCU finds available tunnel brokers by looking up the TXT DNS records from "_aiccu.sixxs.net". The latter allowed a local network to add their own tunnel broker(s) by adding records in the domains configured in their search path. Non-local tunnel brokers could then be added by requesting the SixXS staff to add an entry to the global DNS records.
The following operating systems/platforms/distributions are supported by AICCU:
AIX
DragonFly BSD
FreeBSD
PC-BSD
NetBSD
OpenBSD
Linux
OS X
Solaris (no AYIYA support)
Windows
Various distributions have an AICCU package included in their distribution.
