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+.

I have to agree, this is very useful and I thank the people who thought of it... Ragnar Belial Us
Hi Jason, I got 10/10 on my dual-stack PC at home :) After enabling RADVD on my network (bridging through my WLAN), my Nokia E52 phone with wifi got 10/10 too. With RADVD enabled, my Vista PC used the autoconfigure address to connect outbound, overriding the static IPv6 address that it had; I had to use netsh to fix this! The same phone on O2 network (UK) got a big fat zero.
