-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, I am not sure where you are (Italy?) and haven't looked into this, but I figured I might provide you some feedback on how I have things set up. I have an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel to UUNet UK, a /48 (which is 2^16 = 65,536 times a /64), and did not have to provide company information to get either. It is going to be used for a company at some point in the future but right now my main objective is to learn to handle this.
UUNet UK has 2001:600::/35 as well as another prefix under 3FFE::/16 which I do not remember off the top of my head, and you can write them at [EMAIL PROTECTED] They require (as every tunnel provider as I have understood it) that you create three objects in the 6bone whois database (whois.6bone.net): a person, a maintainer, and an "ipv6-site" object. To get the latter you need an ASN, but you can use a private one. I am sure there are providers closer to you who are willing to offer you a tunnel and some address space. After all, if I recall the RFCs correctly, it's being recommended that the following address space assignments are made to IPv6 customers: * A /48 in the normal case * A /64 when it is known that one and only one subnet is needed * A /128 when it is known that one and only one host is going to be connected (And no, "customer" is not to be interpreted as "paying customer".) Hope this helps you a little. Michael Kj�rling On Jan 28 2002 20:16 -0000, Jollino wrote: > So, now the question is ... what to do? Keep on using a 6to4 > address? Switching back to tunnels?
