venet devices are not fully IPv6 compliant, but still works if you statically assign IPv6 addresses. They do not properly support MAC addresses and consequently link local addresses and can not play nice with neighbor discovery or router advertisements, router discovery, or auto-conf. They also require additional modifications to the layer 3 forwarding behaviour of the host via sysctl. | venet devices are not fully IPv6 compliant, but still works if you statically assign IPv6 addresses.
