Really...tunneled connectivity without link monitoring (can't with tunnels), latency/throughput checks or quality checks using a route server? As Randy would say: I suggest everybody else to use that! Please though do not do this, it will just make IPv6 SUCK for everybody using that. For the few ISPs who are in a remote location who cannot get native IPv6, let these people connect to their CLOSEST native connectivity point. I'll repeat again: if you know of ISPs who want IPv6, but cannot get it, let them send an email here. I am sure that various real transit providers will make them offers they cannot refuse. A setup like you propose with 6assist is fun for people who want to LEARN how BGP works, but for real connectivity, please just do not do it. Greets, Jeroen
