% >Bob:
% >
% >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.
% >
% >
% >You can consult our entries by ipv6-site ITESM
% >mntner ITESM-6BONE or person Alfredo Lopez and Ricardo Castaneda that are 
% >fully maintained up
% >to date at http://www.viagenie.qc.ca/en/ipv6/registry/index.shtml
% >
% >       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+
% >IPv6 in IPv4 gwipv6.ipv6.itesm.mx -> gwvpn.mty.itesm.mx ITESM BGP4+

% >IPv6 Pure (no tunnels) gwipv6.ipv6.itesm.mx -> gw6.nic.mx BGP4+
% >
% >Each IPv6 Puer connections has an ipv6 prefix-list bgp-out to advertise 
% >only the near neighbors.
% >       c. Fully maintained DNS forward (AAAA) and reverse (ip6.int)
% >          entries for the Applicant's router(s) and at least one host
% >          system.

% >Our dns machine is mainipv6.ipv6.itesm.mx AAAA 3ffe:c00:8027:2::9/64

% >(5 for each 6 campus in the ITESM)
% >
% >3. The pTLA Applicant MUST have a potential "user community" that
% >       would be served by its becoming a pTLA, e.g., the Applicant is a
% >       major provider of Internet service in a region, country, or focus
% >       of interest. Applicant must provide a statement and information in
% >       support this claim.

% >    ITESM Network has a user community made up of more than 85,000 
% > students plus teachers, researchers
% >and personal working at the ITESM all over Latin America 
% >(http://www.itesm.mx/campus).
% >
% >    ITESM Network provides service to students, teachers and researchers 
% > besides of several
% >educational and governmental institutes of Mexico ,therefore it is 
% >considered the most important
% >educational and research center of Latinoamerica.
% >
% >    ITESM Ipv6 Network deployment is a task effort  of many educational 
% > institutes and companies
% >of Mexico like ITESM Campus Monterrey (http://www.mty.itesm.mx), 
% >NIC-Mexico (http://www.nic.mx)
% >Virtual University of Mexico (http://www.ruv.itesm.mx), Alestra 
% >(http://www.alestra.com.mx) and
% >every single campus that constitutes the ITESM (30 campus).
% >This effort (working group) puts us as the biggest Internet Service 
% >Provider of our country.
% >
% >    ITESM has been the bedrock of the network development and 
% > research  because
% >in 1986 it was the first Educational Institute to be part of EDUCOM, 
% >having one 2600bps
% >link to Texas University in San Antonio.
% >    Within Internet2 effort (CUDI http://www.cudi.edu.mx), ITESM is the 
% > main participant working with
% >workgroups such as  Ipv6 , Multicast ipv4/ipv6 , Virtual Private Networks, 
% >H.323 (streaming and
% >videoconference,video over demand), voice over ip, routing policies, 
% >Quality of Service, MPLS, etc ...
% >urging the need of a full ipv4/ipv6 functional network notwithstanding if 
% >we are serving ipv4 or
% >ipv6 networks.
% >Project ITESM-ALESTRA: IPv6 WAN interconnections   (no tunnel) . If you 
% >wanna know more about this
% >project please contact me
% >
% >4. The pTLA Applicant MUST commit to abide by the current 6Bone
% >       operational rules and policies as they exist at time of its
% >       application, and agree to abide by future 6Bone backbone
% >       operational rules and policies as they evolve by consensus of the
% >       6Bone backbone and user community.
% >
% >    We understand the 6Bone operational rules and policie routing 
% > practices and we strongly agree
% >    with them all. In our site we are updating a database of all RFC´s 
% > relationated with IPv6.

% >We are looking forward to service ipv6 as it should be and we hope you can
