I didn't manage to google anything similar before we started to do that
ourself.

virt-ix.net and hackerspace VPN networks are not for public Internet in
production in any case ;)

I think we all understand that any tunnel connectivity is worst than a
native. But still there are a lot of places where it is unable to get a
native IPv6 connectivity even for ISPs. Much more places have only one
carrier to choise, which is not sufficient for normal AS operation.

In any case, we have to live with that kind of tunnels for several years
at least.
