Do you want to test if IPv6 is supported on this machine or do you want
test if it has public IPv6 address or if it can connect by IPv6 to some
address? There are things like NAT66, ULAs and other stuff that happens
not on this machine ....

Local IPv6 might be available for most of all "modern" platforms.
