>This is a pTLA request for ITESM  (Technological Institute and of superior 
>studies of Monterrey http://www.itesm.mx)
>Technological Institute and of Superior Studies of Monterrey is made up of 
>30 campus in Mexico, 1,302 receptor "seats"
>of classes broadcasted by means of satellite transmissions with full 
>Latinamerica coverage >
>- Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Ecuador , etc .. -

>We would like to request one pTLA block, conformance to RFC 2772

>1. The pTLA Applicant must have a minimum of three (3) months
>       qualifying experience as a 6Bone end-site or pNLA transit.

>ITESM is in 6bone since 13th July 1999 as pNLA of DIGITAL-CA/US. In this 
>moment the ITESM
>is a pNLA of CISCO/US-CA pTLA (3FFE:0c00::/24) , DIGITAL-CA/US pTLA 
>(3FFE:1200::/24)
>and FIBERTEL/AR (3ffe:3800:FFF5::/48)

>       During the entire qualifying period the Applicant must be operationally
>       providing the following:
>
>       a. Fully maintained, up to date, 6Bone Registry entries for their
>          ipv6-site inet6num, mntner, and person objects, including each
>          tunnel that the Applicant has.

>       b. Fully maintained, and reliable, BGP4+ peering and connectivity
>          between the Applicant's boundary router and the appropriate
>          connection point into the 6Bone. This router must be IPv6
>          pingable. This criteria is judged by members of the 6Bone
>          Operations Group at the time of the Applicant's pTLA request.
>These are our BGP4+ peer connections:

>Ipv6 in Ipv4 gwipv6.ipv6.itesm.mx -> ipv6-router.cisco.com CISCO BGP4+
>Ipv6 in ipv4 rznipv6.ipv6.itesm.mx -> ipv6-router.cisco.com CISCO BGP4+

>Virtual University of Mexico (http://www.ruv.itesm.mx), Alestra

>    ITESM has been the bedrock of the network development and
