As those of you who read the NZRR database notifications (or am I the only one?) will have noticed, we've updated filters with the intent to advertise the 6to4 prefix (192.88.99.0/24) on the APE shortly.
This will put the closest 6to4 server for NZers on peering ISPs in Auckland, as opposed to Chicago (the current closest in all the tests I did, anyway).
I'm sure many people will be interested in the level of traffic we receive, and the nature of that traffic, so I will be doing some analysis and will post details after it's been live a while.
At this stage it looks like we will be announcing the prefix some time between now and Wednesday.
Note that this means that Jasper will be providing international and domestic v6 outbound transit for anyone who uses 6to4 and accepts 192.88.99.0/24. If you feel that you don't want that, you should either not accept the prefix from him (which will cause terrible performance for your 6to4 users, as they will go offshore), and/or set up your own 6to4 relay.
