Hi Philip & Guido,

We also have no connectivity to the address you show.

6bone-lon-gw#sho ipv6 route 5f06:d800:c171:3a00::1/128
Route not found

BT-LABS also have connections to IFB and ULANC.  I am getting RIPng from
IFB so clearly there's either broken RIPng from BT-LABS or the static from
IFB to BT-LABS isn't being redistributed or BT-LABS don't really have a
tunnel to IFB.  I think ULANC are either down or not running a RIPng
routing daemon because their RIPng session to us is not running.

This certainly explains your lack of connectivity to BT-LABS but not
necessarily to anywhere else.
