[PLUG] IPv6 - configured by default?

[Michael Rasmussen]

This is a perfect LMGTFY moment. Because I'm not finding it. 

Is
IPv6 enabled by default in common Linux distros? Where is this
documented? 

The question came up while I was investigating an issue at
work and saw IPv6 connections between a server and its database server.


I know, and confirmed, there's no IPv6 routing in our internal
network. The DB server is in a secure enclave, so I know the traffic
routed. 

But both endpoints are Linux servers, they are tunneling IPv6
through IP4.
