[ipv6-wg] test-ipv6.com

Thanks Jason,

I just tried this and got a perfect score on a PC (using Freenet6 tunnel 
broker client on Win7); this provides much more information than the "show 
IPv6 host address on a web page" when testing connectivity. The scoring 
system is quite helpful as it can indicate how far one is from host 
readiness and ISP, even if there is no IPv6 stack yet on the host, and also 
does a good job measuring DNS readiness.

Now if we can get mobile networks operators and handset vendors work on 
getting a 10/10 score it will be quite an IPv6 leap !  I got a 7/10 on a 
Nokia e51 Symbian handset, Opera Mini browser and using Orange Jordan mobile 
operator with HSPA+.

Regards,
-Ahmed
