There is a big difference here however...
'back bedroom' ISPs usually don't start with AS Numbers and have
5 upstreams, and innumerous peers (tunneled)... In IPv4 you started small.
At this stage you really need to ask what you want/ expect from IPv6,
and whether the 'commercial Internet' should transit over 6Bone networks.
One of the nice things about 6Bone is that it is a 'testbed' for IPv6, where
mistakes benifit the learning process.....
Or do we want to turn it into a second 'Internet'...?
