Hi,

Thought I'd use some of the break time to write some blog articles
about IPv6 and ping. There's a few things about using ping with IPv6
that are different to using ping with IPv4, some which would be quite
useful for IPv6 troubleshooting.

The first article is "Pinging all IPv6 nodes on a link", which
includes briefly covering some topics such as IPv6 multicast address
scopes, multicasts being looped back and address scope zones.

Any comments or corrections, email me directly or add them as comments
on the bottom of the article. As I used Fedora 31 for this, It would
be interesting to know the Mac OSX or Windows ping command line
equivalents if they exist.


Regards,
Mark.
