I very much like the idea of having vBNS as a multi-site 6bone backbone
site as it will provide better performance and connectivity AND help us
gain experience with the new AGGR addressing.

I really like the prospect of vBNS moving native IPv6.  Let's get going
right away with the tunneled version so you can move your plans along.

I will assign a pTLA for vBNS (let's call it vBNS) if you will register
with the 6bone registry (a requirement for 6bone participation).  You can
read the documentation at:

	http://www.6bone.net/RIPE-registry.html

and I have enclosed my 6bone registry entry registration email for convenience.

Then you should create a MNTNR entry (MNT-VBNS) so I can delegate the
inet6nun pTLA to you using it (also see example below).

As for an addressing plan, let's try to get the mail list to comment. I'll
also suggest something later on.


But for now...get registered and I'll assign your pTLA.


Welcome aboard!
