A Looking Glass is a website where you can execute network commando's like ping, traceroute, dig, etc. over IPv6 and usually IPv4. Below you can see the result of the traceroute6 command from a Looking Glass located in Japan:

traceroute6 -q1 -l tunnel-2586.ipv6.xs4all.nl

Below you can see the result of the traceroute command executed on the same looking glass in Japan, but this time freegw's brand new IPv6 address/hostname has been taken as the host argument:

traceroute6 -q1 -l tunnel2586.ipv6.xs4all.nl
