Short answer: download the ipv6-toolkit-v1.1.tar.gz. If there's any tool
that is not inside that tarball (such as ipv6mon), download it
separately (from its own tarball).

Originally, tools were shipped as individual tar.gz files. Then, when
the number of tools became large, and I was producing both new tools and
updates to the existing ones, I ended up shipping everything as
ipv6-toolkit-vx.x.tar.gz

Well, I don't own/manage the aforementioned page (for instance, I
haven't posted the tools online myself)-

Since *some* version of the tools have been posted online, I may be able
to post my latest version soon.

No. But I'm hoping to do so as soon as I'm allowed to. (that's why the
tools are not yet at si6networks.com or at my personal web site).

Agreed.

You're welcome.

Comments, suggestions, etc. will be more than welcome!
