IPv6 in au was: [6bone] e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa status ? (16 April 2004 - try #3)

[Trent Lathiat Lloyd]

The WA Internet Exchange (WAIX - waia.asn.au) now has an ipv6 router with a
few user tunnels (routing AARNet provided space) as well as peering for
ISPs, that said there doesn't seem to be too much interest at the
moment.

They also have some IX-ONLY allocated address space.

Perhaps a community effort could be started to get some more ipv6
backbone in australia, if people (myself, anand kumria, progsoc, aarnet), etc
contribute, perhaps we can get some real address space, hand it out, and
try to get more exchanges (PIPE, etc) into peering it.

Cheers,
Trent
