If us doing this prompted all the other ISPs to build 6to4 gateways for their customers, then I'd certainly be happy with that outcome! -jasper On Wed, 2008-09-03 at 10:30 +1200, Neil Fenemor wrote:

Looking at http://tr.meta.net.nz/datexplore.php/2008-09-03_10:19_192.88.99.1?format=png&openas the majority of ISPs are currently coming to your 6to4 anycast gateway.

That's a lot of ISPs entrusting their IPv6 traffic to someone off-net. That surprises me, as it isn't particularly difficult to set up.

2008/9/2 Jasper Bryant-Greene We are announcing the 6to4 prefix (192.88.99.0/24) on the APE as of early this afternoon.

We're seeing about 15-25 Kbit/s of traffic, of which about 1/3 is exiting via one of our peering links rather than tunneling to the USA.

I'll collect stats over the next while and post some pretty graphs etc at some stage.

Cheers Jasper

I think someone should post a how-to for connecting medium size businesses to the ipv6 anycast network.. :) Perhaps some quick documentation on how to do the 6-to-4 nat for an entire /24 ? -----Original Message----- From: Craig Whitmore [mailto:lennon(a)orcon.net.nz] Sent: Wednesday, 3 September 2008 1:35 p.m. To: Neil Fenemor Cc: nznog Subject: Re: [nznog] 6to4 on the APE On Wed, 2008-09-03 at 10:30 +1200, Neil Fenemor wrote:

When you get onto the '6 you should be able to see http://www.ipv6porn.co.nz (it IS Work safe). (why else would you get on v6) Thanks Craig _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog

Sure, I'll re-work some of my slides and post. Note that 'entire /24' isn't really relevant with 6to4 - a single IPv4 address = IPv6 /48 = 65,536 IPv6 /64 networks. So, background, 6to4 runs on a border router, and lets a native IPv6 network (numbered out of a 6to4 prefix) connect to the IPv6 Internet. Note that it requires IPv6 support from your internal devices - if you have any routers or whatever in your 'medium size' business network then they will require IPv6 support. Alternative to native support inside a network is to run ISATAP, which is a protocol targeted at enterprises which runs automatic IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels to your border router - that border router can run 6to4, or have native connectivity. I'll write up some scenarios, I've got some time to kill on a flight tomorrow. -- Nathan Ward _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
