Hi David
Depends on you vintage of Debian:
$ ping 2607:f8b0:4009:813::2004 PING 2607:f8b0:4009:813::2004(2607:f8b0:4009:813::2004) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2607:f8b0:4009:813::2004: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=22.1 ms 64 bytes from 2607:f8b0:4009:813::2004: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=20.7 ms ^C --- 2607:f8b0:4009:813::2004 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 20.714/21.426/22.139/0.727 ms
I however don't know when this generally because available, but stretch, buster and sid appear to have it.
