   I think this could be optimized by announcing prefixes, e.g. those
   calculated from IPv4 addresses where IPv6 is being tested and 6to4 used.

=> Brian Carpenter should answer (:-)...

   BTW: I couldn't find any looking glasses for 6bone backbone routers.  Is
   there any of these available?
   
=> I have an experimental looking glass for BGP4+ with IPv6.
It needs to be secured and put on a backbone router (it should be
soon because this is the purpose). The result is:

Router: Aricie Command: show bgp ipv6 2002::/16


BGP routing table entry for 2002::/16, version 13836923
Paths: (1 available, best #1)
Flag: 0x208
  Not advertised to any peer
  1938 2200 2611 5511 4697 1251 109
    2001:660:281:1::1 (inaccessible) from 2001:660:282:1:200:CFF:FE3F:1D17 (192.108.119.137)
      Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, internal, best

The router is in the RENATER sub**n TLA. The 2002::/16 gateway seems
to be ipv6-router.cisco.com.
