http://www.6assist.net/ - call for test

[Max Tulyev]

I mentioned Slovenia as we have a request for BGP-enabled tunnel from
Slovenia ;) So for some reasons people still want to use BGP-enabled
tunnels in real life, even in conuntries with well implemented native IPv6.

The second reason to use 6assist instead of regular TB it is not depend
of the actual load of tunnel server. If somebody download something huge
through a tunnel broker server - the other people just share the tiny
rest of the bandwidth...
