Hi Abdul,

I think this highlights problems faced by many individuals or groups seeking
to get IPv6 access.   In the general case, a tunnel broker with the 
associated protocol 41 hole is probably the best solution, so long as you
only need a single host connected, or at most a /48 (which Freenet6 will
I believe give).   If you need more than a /48 for a "student project", 
then you're asking for more address space than a whole university would
probably get, so you're in different territory :)

As you say, I2 is now much further advanced, being one of the first backbone
networks to move to dual-stack operation.
