[..] Checking my little GRH list @ http://noc.sixxs.net/tools/grh/dfp/6bone/ it seems that quite a number of folks have apparently stopped announcing their 6bone prefixes recently. They haven't been nice yet though to actually mention that they would stop using them oddly enough. Could folks be so nice to send a little mail to say thanks for using the prefix and possibly a small description of things they did with it and what positive and negative things they found out during their usage? From the near-bottom of that page: 8<------------------ The database currently holds 144 IPv6 DFP's. Of which 33 (22.92%) are returned to the pool, 38 (26.39%) IPv6 DFP's didn't have a routing entry. Thus 73 (50.69%) networks are currently announced. ------------------>8 So we are almost at half-way of shutting down the 6bone.

With the termination of the 6Bone experiment on 6th June 2006, and in order to avoid some of you becoming disconnected from IPv6, the OCCAID Project (http://www.occaid.org) is offering alternative options. Of course, there are many commercial providers that already provide IPv6 transit today, and you should always try that path first. Please, make sure to ask your existing upstream providers, or even consider alternative ones if no other way. In some cases they will only move if they feel the market pressure and that means all of us ... If you upstream providers respond with something such as "IPv what?", please, let me know, some times we may be able to help them so you can keep moving ! If you are interested in taking up OCCAID offer, please send an e-mail to 6bone-transfer at occaid.org, so we can assist you.
