6bone Folk,
EUROVIEW-GROUP has requested a pTLA allocation and I find their request
fully compliant with RFC2772. The open review period for this will close 8
October 2002. Please send your comments to me or the list.

Note that the ASN that EUROVIEW-GROUP uses, AS15450, is owned by Alhambra
Systems (ALHSYS), which is part of this collaboration.
Thanks,
Bob

>Hello Bob,
>
> I send you this email for request you a pTLA for the
> EUROVIEW-GROUP (www.v6.euroview-group.com). Euroview group is a group of
> different IT companies in Spain, France and Italy. We are very interested

>
>The following rules apply to qualify for a 6Bone pTLA allocation. It
>should be recognized that holders of 6Bone pTLA allocations are
>expected to provide production quality backbone network services for
>the 6Bone.

>
>1. The pTLA Applicant must have a minimum of three (3) months
>qualifying experience as a 6Bone end-site or pNLA transit. 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.
>
> MNT-EUROVIEW-GROUP
> EUROVIEW-GROUP
>
>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.

>2. The pTLA Applicant MUST have the ability and intent to provide
>"production-quality" 6Bone backbone service. Applicants must
>provide a statement and information in support of this claim.
>This MUST include the following:
>
>
>a. A support staff of two persons minimum, three preferable, with

>for the pTLA applicant.

> Javier Castillo (me): JCA1-6BONE

> Juan Jose Muñoz: JJMM1-6BONE

>b. A common mailbox for support contact purposes that all support
>staff have acess to, pointed to with a notify attribute in the
>ipv6-site object for the pTLA Applicant.
>
> ipv6@alhsys.com

>
>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.

>I can give a more detailed explanation of Euroview-Spain activities.
>Euro-view Spain is an ISP and data/voice comunications integration company:
>
> - As ISP we provide internet connection to medium sized comanies to
> Internet, and other internet based solutions such vpn's, extranets, etc.
> A base of small home users exists today but is reducing cause the spread
> of low cost xDSL technologies of big ISP providers.
>
> - As Datacomunications we are specialized in providing Lan/wan
> connctivity between companies. We also work with carriers and operator to
> provide IPv4 and other networking protocol services that they not
> provided to their final customers in a overall project.
>
> - We are involved in data-voice convegence and CT and Call Center
> apllications.
>
>Our first plans is to provide an ipv6 enabled network connected to the
>backbone, and connecto to it our customers to divulgate and test ipv6 and
>prepare them for migration strategies of their networks.
>
>At same time we want to spread the ipv6 protocols in the Eurovie-group
>companies: ASP providers, SBC integrators, to give each other feed-back of
>how ipv6 can influenciate future applications and business.
>
>
>We want a 6bone prefix, and not a ripe prefix,
> because we want to test deeply the IPv6 protocol,and the
> 6bone seems to be a more test network than ripe's
> networks. In a future, if IPv6 becomes the production IP protocol in
> internet, we will
>pick up a RIPE ipv6 address space, but until that moment arrives, we would
>like to test
>with some of our best customers, the IPv6 world.
>
>
>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.

>Additional questions (from Bob):
>
>1. Your acknowledgement that you are not charging for services using the
>6bone prefix,
>
>Of course.
>
>
>2. Your acknowledgement that will give up your prefix when required by the
>sponsoring organization of the 6bone, or its descendents (currently the IETF),
>
>No problem. Yes, we know that 6bone is test network, and we
> will remark this point to our customers.
>
>
>3. Your explanation of why you need a 6bone prefix instead of getting a
>production prefix from the RIRs. Also, for my planning purposes, I would
>appreciate it if you could tell me
>why you think the 6bone is necessary, as opposed to just having networks
>get production prefixes from the RIRs. If you wish, this answer will be
>held in confidence. As I said above, it is for my planning purposes.

> The main reason, I think, for the 6bone network is that
> 6bone is the perfect testbed solution for ipv6 deployment.
> When we have ipv6 fully tested, we will get a ripe prefix,
> and we will offer to our customers real ipv6 services. Until
> that, we are going to test routers, servers, OSs, protocols,
> getting more familiar with ipv6, experience with different
> solutions, etc, etc...Another good point is, that medium size
> companies(like euroview-group) have the same rights and
