The website of that project is <a href="http://www.6assist.net/" target="_blank">http://www.6assist.net/</a><br>
It acts like a virtual media IXP, and anybody have own ASN can join it.<br></blockquote></div><div style>As others pointed out, I do not really see the problem you are solving [well, I see it, but I do not agree that the problem exists]. If you look at the larger more established tunnelbrokers, they will invariably all have multiple points of presence, HE / SixXS as two examples. Here, the ISP takes care of the IPv6 network, and the IPv4 endpoint is topologically close. But, I will agree that some localities do not have any reasonable coverage, and in those cases, MPTP may help.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Some questions:<br>- does this infrastructure bridge ethernet to IP (that's what I believe from your website)? I ask because somebody may be interested to use this for IPv4 as well.</div>
<div style>- does it support (ethernet / IP) multicast (v4 and/or v6?)</div><div style>- does it use compression? If it doesn't, then what is your 'shared segment' MTU? Does that work well for you? Note: if you use header compression you can probably easily retrieve the wasted bytes in protocol overhead, and still provide a 1500b MTU.</div>
<div style>- I understand that the hub will provide authentication - what is the design for this authentication mechanism?</div><div style>- What happens if the hub goes away? Do the clients cache the IPv4 endpoints of their peers, in other words, is transient failure of the hub impacting anything?</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Good luck with your project! And please, pretty please, do not recreate the 3ffe::/16 mess!</div>-- <br>Pim van Pelt <<a href="mailto:pim@ipng.nl">pim@ipng.nl</a>> <br>PBVP1-RIPE - <a href="http://www.ipng.nl/">http://www.ipng.nl/</a>
