Christer,
Telebit has been working on an IPv6 over ATM SVC implementation for
UNI-C's IPv6 network following the Armitage style solution
(draft_armitage_ion_tn_00.txt), which is now available as a Beta
version.
This implementation is aimed at gaining early development and
testing experience in advance of a more formal consensus. Both Unicast
and Multicast SVCs have been implemented. Multicast Neighbor Discovery
over ATM has also been implemented using MARS according to the draft
RFC.
More generally, we have been running PVCs across the UNI-C network both
transparently (ie native IPv6 without encapsulation) and using LLC+SNAP
encapsulation as described in RFC 1483.
I hope this helps,
Martin
