Yeah, I already have a tunnel from Australia with a couple of /64's. I then have a php tunnel broker system where I delegate /112 's to people and a few /64's. I would be interested in peering with the F root server in Auckland, is there an application forms? Secondly if there is anyone interested in a /112 from Auckland (not for ISP transit) but people wanting to experiment, contact me off list.

If you want to be able to reach the rest of the IPv6 internet, you will need a transit provider of some kind. Since it sounds like nobody in New Zealand is offering IPv6 transit, you'll need to look outside the country and gain v6 transit via a tunnel plumbed over IPv4. Andy's docs give some examples of people to talk to; Hurricane Electric is another well-established provider of IPv6 transit over tunnels that I don't think Andy mentions (see http://ipv6tb.he.net/). If every v6-reachable network in New Zealand uses tunnels to other countries to obtain v6 transit, then within-NZ v6 traffic will cross oceans, which is sub-optimal. Local peering (at the APE, the WIX or via tunnels plumbed over IPv4 between NZ endpoints) provides a local path so that local v6 traffic can stay local. The F root nameserver node at the APE will happily peer with anybody else there over IPv6. F has been able to be queried over an IPv6 address for some time (2001:500::1035), although there are currently no AAAA records in the root zone. An application to add an AAAA record for F has been submitted to IANA, but has not yet been actioned. Joe
