NANOG48: SixXS – Trying to Get IPv6 to the User
SixXS (http://www.sixxs.net) is a project run by two enterprising Dutchman providing IPv6 connectivity through various ISP-provided PoPs to users around the world. The project came up with a couple of unique methods of getting people to get connected to IPv6 (AICCU which provides heartbeat and AYIYA tunnels) and also to make sure that the connectivity actually works (GRH, Ghost Router Hunter). This will be an overview of what we accomplished the last 8 years and what is yet to come.

Peering Disputes Migrate to IPv6
Disputes over peering, which have quickly made the jump from IPv4 to IPv6.
Complaints of a “broken IPv6 Internet†emerged last week on the North American Network Operators Group mailing list, which surfaced a peering issue involving IPv6 connections between Hurricane Electric and Cogent Communications.
While Hurricane Electric pointed the finger at Cogent, it has also extended an olive branch. Leber’s NANOG post commented that “we stop short of baking cakes†to encourage peering. But at this week’s NANOG 47 meeting in Dearborn, Mich., Hurricane Electric presented a cake inscribed with an invitation to Cogent to peer with HE over IPv6.
Limelight Blends IPv6 into CDN
Limelight Networks today introduced the industry's first content delivery service with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) support. The company announced this upgrade of its global distributed computing platform to the next-generation protocol during a panel presentation at NANOG46
"Content consumption is moving beyond just the browser to a new class of Internet-connected devices, as consumers are accessing their favorite media wherever and whenever they want. As one of the first CDNs to offer IPv6 services, our platform is now ready to deliver content to that next generation of always-connected devices,"

NANOG46 : IPV6 Track
Andy Davidson from Netsumo/LoNAP is presenting part of the IPv6 at NANOG46 (click here for info of how to watch) at 9:30PM UK time today, or download the IPv6 for Enterprises presentation here, or see information about the other speakers here..
The messages are clear and simple. Working now to get ready for the IPv6 transition will be less expensive and lower risk than waiting for IPv4 starvation to hurt. I interviewed some key enterprises about their specific grumbles but the great news is that most are transitional and already people are working on fixing them.
