Bob,
Can you get the map updated to show the tunnels directly to Cisco, and
UNH-Bay-Digital via UNH too on the 6bone drawing for our new addition
Digital-CA, in addition to the G6/FR tunnel. We are setting up to
distribute packets from S.E. Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, etc..).
The connection is more than just to G6/FR. We are by passing other hubs
on purpose in the spirit of laizze-faire and to make this look like the
real Internet. We have chosen to provide routes to nodes via Cisco,
UNH, and G6/FR hubs.
p.s. On routing protocols. I think the next step after RIPv6 is OSPFv6.
Then on to IDRPv6 for exterior routing. To that end I would like to
figure out at San Jose IETF the status of IDRPv6 from folks working on it.
If it still is not on target I will champion an effort with other
interested vendors to fund with real $$$$ a public domain implementation
vendors can use to get IDRPv6 up and running. I think GATED Consortia
may be ahead of me and that is where the $$$ need to go. I just don't know
right now. The $$$ would include some bright people to work on the spec
too. I would like to see a prototype of IDRPv6 on the 6bone in 1997.
I view it from an engineering perspective as a MUST SHIP CRITICAL
priority for IPv6 on the 6bone.
thanks
