To anybody who can help me:
Has anybody implemented the linux kernel module which deals with 
connection tracking of the protocol IPV6 or has anybody being working on 
it presently? I need this information because it is one of the topics of 
my bachelor project. I would also like to kno if anybody has been 
working on implementation of the module for IPVS (using IPV6). Does 
anybody know about any contacts or addresses, where i could get this 
information?

Thank you for your help.

Yes. Look for nf_conntrack. A very much active project and scheduled to 
replace ip conntrack in some time.

No idea. This question is perhaps better asked on the lvs mailing list. 
But probably not.

For more info in IPVS/LVS see http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

nf_conntrack is found from the netfilter page somewhere.

Has anybody implemented the feature for the netfilter ( the
nf_conntrack, the generic, not the IPV4 ) module which deals with
reduplication of the connection status (e.g. when we have two redudant
routers/firewalls)  or has anybody being working on
it presently? I need this information because it is one of the topics of
my new bachelor project. Does
anybody know about any contacts or addresses, where i could get this

To me this sounds like a question for the developer list.

The ct_sync project is your friend.
	http://people.netfilter.org/hidden/ct_sync/
I do not know about ipv6 but you may find help on the dedicated list :

How about :
http://www.netfilter.org/mailinglists.html#ml-devel

where it says :
"Send mail to the netfilter developer mailinglist."
(mailto:netfilter-devel@lists.netfilter.org)

  I don't think anyone is currently working on this. The most up-to-date 
IPv4 specific code is in the Netfilter SVN 
(branches/netfilter-ha/linux-2.6-multigroup), and it shouldn't be 
_that_ hard to port it to nf_conntrack.

  The difficult work would be getting it to a state where we can safely 
recommend it for production use... (As currently it contains a lot of 
bugs and even a couple of features are missing.)

  Contact addresses: {laforge,hidden} at netfilter.org or the 
netfilter-ha mailing list on lists.netfilter.org.

  Uhh, no, it's called netfilter-failover. :)
