It is all very well having this test network, but lets try and get some real services up and running to get some real traffic on the net. I've experienced similar accesses with USOT-ECS. Shall we create some ipv6 newsgroups, and go from there, and lets get www.ipv6.6bone.net up or similar ? If you, or indeed anyone else wants to get together with me and set up some newsgroups and peer them (not tunnels, but delivered across 6bone) then I'd be only too happy to do so. > The overwhelming majority of traffic on the 6bone is pings and > traceroutes supplying data for the random "6bone status" web pages out there. > There appears to be far less incentive to actually do anything with the 6bone > than to claim that one is "on" it.

Could we have a pTLA please? Have you considered asking one of the current pTLA 6bone backbone sites for a transit (pNLA1) delegation? You can still do exactly as you propose as an NLA, i.e., delegate to other Hong Kong/Macau networks and sites. In fact some of these may want to be an NLA (transit) under you, as opposed to just a leaf site. Given the test only nature of the 6bone (i.e., no production traffic), there is no difference in practice from being a transit (pNLA1) and a pTLA. In fact it would be very useful for sites to try this out as a test of this concept as well.

The Onnet32 software is not sufficient. So far there is no support for EUI64 included and there are some other shortcomings not conforming to the current IPv6 standard, because the software was released early 1997. > > We have bought three sets of Onnet32 but haven't been able to get an IPv6 > > ping to respond > > Not very promising, right?

There will be a new Version 3.5 of "Secure Client" in early 1998, with large improvements in the IPv6 support and for questions regarding IPv6 you should contact Mr. Chip Sparling, chip@ftp.com, Product Manager at FTP Software. The biggest problem we discovered in using the software was the incorrect behavior of name resolution for AAAA records and most programs, except ping, are not yet ported to accept IPv6 addresses. The IPv6 Stack is quite complete but with shortcomings in some areas.

I would like to do some research on routing issues aswell as some development, and therefore I would like to connect to some other 6bone site. Would anyone want to setup a tunnel between them and our site? Topologically, we are very close to the swedish IPv4 central point of connection, and geographically we are located in Stockholm, Sweden. What should I take into consideration when having several routes to the backbone? What routing protocols are recommended to use? Magnus Stacken Computer Club
