[arin-discuss] IPv6-only website

[johnb at infinitie.net]

Hey

Yup and we have a Cisco 6509. We aren't announcing BGP at the moment because our colo facility is statically announcing our CIDRs for IPv4 via BGP.

But we want to start doing BGP and peering ourselves now since they are becoming a pain in the ass to deal with.

Definitely would love to start getting ipv6 on the roll since its going to be a gong show once ipv4 runs out and other provides are left scrambling

You have an AS number, yes?

What you need to do is contact a tunnel broker and advertise your
address allocation to them via BGP.

In many cases, this is free to do. I *highly* recommend he.net:

http://he.net/

They have all the details, but if you need anything further, I will
gladly help you out with implementation details (including initial
configuration).

I am in the same situation you are... my primary v6 transit is over an
ipip tunnel to HE.

Cheers,

Steve
