Morning all, Thanks to Dean's great ipv6 presentation at Uniforum, everyone's got a ::/28 allocation from APNIC now, right? I'm interested in hearing from people who've got v6 allocations, either from tunnel brokers, or otherwise who'd like to peer at an NZ ipv6 peering point. APE and WIX are possibilities, however I have my doubts on the number of providers on WIX and APE who would be willing to add v6 addresses on their interfaces from citylink to any servers in their network; it'd be easier to put a 6to4 tunnel for testing purposes on a router in the middle of the network, especially if the router question already has a tunnel to a tunnelbroker overseas. One of the benefits of this is that any NZ<->NZ v6 traffic doesn't have to traverse international tunnels. The big driver of this will be the amount of local content available via v6. Admittedly there's not much around at the moment, however I do have mysql, apache, xfree86, cygwin, cpan and sunfreeware mirrors that are on the 6bone which could serve as good starters. I'm sure that there would be some webservers out there who are v6 aware which people would be willing to route ipv6 to. The more people we can get on the ix, the more content would become available. Sorta like the multicast chicken and egg thing. Could I get a showing of interest on who'd like to be on such an ix (just a box I have running zebra which a whole bunch of 6in4 tunnels), even if you've got a ::/64 tunnel allocation from a tunnel broker? There won't be any international v6 transit provided, just a BGP4+ feed of all the NZ prefixes of people peering.
