Looking for BGP peers

[Pedro Goncalves]

Hello

>From what i've read, sure we have to keep the routing table small, but entities like mine,
that will need to be IPv6 multihomed in the near future also need to get some experience
before applying for pTLA.

Other option that i see is to obtain another /48 from another pTLA, exchange BGP and use
it on my network.

Yet another option is to exchange BGP with other /48 NLA and do some filtering.

Is that possible/correct within 6Bone??

Umm, unless I'm mistaking somehow...

I doubt this makes much sense, because the peers you'd talk with would not
be able to advertise your prefix (it's /48, limit is like /24 or /28 or
/35, depending).

If you want better connections, RCCN should be doing the peering.

(we were perhaps in a similar situation; "imprisoned" by our pTLD, so we
went and got a 2001: prefix we can announce anywhere we want)
