>The applicance is for CNIT. This acronymous is for National Consortium

>Since the beginning of 2001 the consortium has developed a proprietary

>redundant routing (European project www.depaude.org). CNIT has
>recently ask to UNIFE some helps to create a native IPv6 network with
>the aim of using it both in all the local site and in the geographic
>connection. Where the native IPv6 is not supported, tunnelling has
>been used.

>Actually the system is running with some /48 given by public tunnel
