So I have been introduced about IPv6 at school. (In fact one of our assignment is to do a IPv4 to IPv6 proxy in the labs.)

Unfortunately there are currently no ISP in my country that offers IPv6. However I guess I am just geeky enough that I like to set up an IPv6 in my LAN to "play" around with... like ssh from other machines and using my internal web pages via IPv6.

So I am wondering how does it work, or does it work at all in a LAN? From what I have read from Google, the address space for IPv6 is so large that you simply don't need NAT anymore, and many tutorials and how-to's basically teach you how to get a free IPv6 over IPv4 tunneuling and basically just use whatever IP you get from the service...

What I like to know is, is it at all possible to set up a private IPv6 network that doesn't connect to the Internet? It looks like its got self-assigned address too and doesn't need DHCP...

Basically I am not sure where to start if I want an internal IPv6 network to play with.

Thanks.
