ipv6 routing table...?
 
Trying to understand ipv6... I've got a system that has a global ipv6 address, and it can communicate with other ipv6 addresses on the network, and it can communicate with ipv6 enabled Web servers (like ipv6.google.com). However, if I use the command "ip route" I only see the ipv4 routes, and I can't seem to see anything in the manual page telling me how to see the ipv6 ones.

Is ipv6 smarter somehow so that it figures out the routes dynamically? Or is there something else I'm misunderstanding?

Try ip -6 route.

IPv4 and IPv6 have completely separate protocol stacks and separate routing tables.
