[6bone] 6bone is PHASED OUT !! Thanks to all who have worked on the 6bone.

[Robert Fink]

6bone Operators & Users,

Today is the day!  The 6bone is phased out.

I would like to thank everyone who has participated in the 6bone
during the last 10 years.

===
Per RFC 3701, "6bone (IPv6 Testing Address Allocation) Phaseout ", 3FFE
prefixes only remains valid until TODAY, June 6, 2006.

After TODAY, June 6, 2006, no 6bone 3FFE prefixes, of any size/length, are to
be used on the Internet in any form.

Note that on June 6, 2006 3FFE prefixes do not actively need to be
returned to the 6bone registry; 3FFE prefixes will simply be invalid
after that date and assumed to be totally under the control of the
IANA.

Network operators may filter 3FFE prefixes on their borders to ensure
these prefixes are not misused.

Please take appropriate action now.

Again, thanks to everyone who has been involved with the 6bone; you are great!


Regards,

Bob Fink
