[6bone] 6bone phaseout countdown notification - 3 months until phaseout

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi,

I will like to take the opportunity of this email to introduce the OCCAID
Project, which may be useful for some of you when turning down 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.

Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: [6bone] 6bone phaseout countdown notification - 3 months until
phaseout

6bone Operators & Users,

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

After 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.

Because of this, it is highly recommend that all 6Bone participants
take early measures to find alternative IPv6 services, instead of
waiting until the last minute, in order to avoid service disruption.

Please take appropriate action now.


Regards,

Bob Fink
