 Welcome to IPv6Droid!

-What is IPv6Droid?
-===============
-
-IPv6Droid is currently an Android client for SixXS tunnels, in order to bring IPv6 support to Android mobile devices on networks that do not support IPv6 (specifically, all mobile networks in Germany at the time of writing).
-
-What is required to get IPv6 on my device?
-==========================================
-
-You'll need an account at SixXS and apply there for an AYIYA tunnel. This service is free of cost, but you will be asked some person-related data and a statement what use you're going to make with your tunnel.
-
-The about only thing there you could make wrong with using your tunnel with IPv6Droid is to apply for something different than an AYIYA tunnel. IPv6Droid does not support all the options of the AICCU client available from SixXS.
-
-I am using Android Studio already to develop. I didn't test yet to build the project from a fresh checkout, so some required resources might be missing. If so, this is not intentional, and I'll be happy to help out solving the problem.
-
-An official version of IPv6Droid is available via [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.flyingsnail.ipv6droid).
-
-You need an Android device running Android 4.0 or later.
-
-**You don't need root at your Android device.**
-
-What is the current state of IPv6Droid?
-====================================
-
-The software is right now in the state that should fit users with an interest in IPv6.
-
-Please also see the open tickets!
-
-How to use
-==========
-
-Using IPv6Droid is pretty straightforward. After installing via Google Play and opening, you will be presented the settings dialogue. Here you must enter user name, password, and URL of the TIC server of your tunnel provider - usually this will be tic.sixxs.net.
-
-After entering this, you can start the tunnel from the main dialogue, by pressing the button "please start", or the "play" button in the icon bar. For the very first start, please choose a location with stable network connection of the phone as this is a multi-stage process, and any problems related to instable network might be difficult to track down.
-
-The tunnel settings will be queried and the IPv6 tunnel should build up, visualized by a progress bar and some indication of the current activity.
-
-Two exceptions from this rule apply:
-1. If you don't have a AYIYA tunnel available at your tunnel provider, things won't work. In case of sixxs.net, please note that a few days might pass until your request of a tunnel gets approved!
-2. If you have more than one AYIYA tunnel available, starting the tunnel will be interrupted and you have to choose one of the tunnels listed in the main screen before starting again.
-
-Loading updated tunnel settings
-====
-
-If there are relevant changes to your AYIYA tunnels and your previously selected tunnel configuration is no longer functional, this will generally be detected, and tunnel configuration reloaded automatically.
-
-However, as long as your existing configuration is proven to work, no reload will occur. This might be undesirable in rare circumstances, e.g. if you have an additional tunnel configuration available and you want to use this with your device.
-
-For such a case, you can force a reload of the tunnel configuration from the extended menu (either press the menu button of your device, if available, or press the ... button at the right of the button bar). Please use this function with consideration, only if there's reason to believe a change to the list of tunnels might have occurred.
-
-What are the design goals? Why have you written this tool?
-=====
-
-Goal 1: An IPv6 solution for Android without the need to root the device.
-
-Goal 2: Keeping up the tunnel in changing networks without triggering the "do not restart the TIC client" policy of SixXS.
-
-Goal 3: Usable by end users.
-
-Goal 1 and 2 are met by the codebase as of 25th August 2013.
-
-Goal 3 partially, I hope, with the release of 3rd September.
-
-Licenses
-=====
-
-For different parts of the app, different licenses apply.
-
-* [License for Android specific sources]
-* [License for protocol specific sources]
-* [License for Google icons]
-* [License for distributing the CaCert root certificate]
-
-
-Can I contribute?
-======
-
-I put IPv6Droid under GPL. You're very welcome to contribute!

-I put IPv6Droid under GPL. I can do so because, contrary to my own initial expectations, there's no code reuse at all; IPv6Droid is absolutely different from AICCU. Open question right now is, if the SixXS guys object about the client. Note: they can because they have the infrastructure. Once this is settled, you're very welcome to contribute!

-
-What does the name stand for?
-================
-
-AICCU is a term coined by SixXS themselves, an acronym for [Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Client Utility].
-
-The J I put in front basically should indicate that it's written in Java. However, it is a completely independent implementation of the protocols TIC and AYIYA as specified by SixXS - so the AICCU in its name might be misleading and might be changed in near future. I'm not sure if there's a need for a Java library for TIC and AYIYA protocols, but this software could be. Right now the only use I see is as a client for Android, using official Android APIs and not requiring root.
