Yes, as Ran points out we've been running the NRL IPv6 and IPSEC
implementations on DEC Alpha/NetBSD-1.2 (including my changes which
make the NRL code 64-bit clean) for a couple of months now here at
NASA Ames. See:

	http://www.ipv6.nas.nasa.gov/nrl64.html

for a writeup of the porting project. Since our current research
objectives require an IPv6 implementation which offeres both high
performance and extensibility, however, we're very much interested
in taking a look at the new public-domain release Jim Bound referred
to in his announcement as well. It's still a bit early for us to run
a "bakeoff" against the various implementations, so Jim's annoucement
certainly gives us a new data point to consider.
