Correct, at least until I send ^C and get a report of 100% packet loss. > Perhaps that's true about your specific OS, but there are plenty of other OSes for which this isn't true, like macOS and the BSDs. It's true on Linux and FreeBSD anyway, the two OSes I have installed in my home. Granted, FreeBSD does hardlink ping6 to the same binary for ancient script compatibility, but the standard ping works just fine. OpenBSD is the same. The days of IPv6 being a weird experimental protocol requiring separate commands are long over (I can't check Mac OS, don't own any Apple products).
