Jordi, All,

since this comes up and is interesting also for me:
In what way / how far are these networks offering native
IPv6 'not just in the core' or 'on most routers', but
especially in all POPs, even those only for customer
aggregation?

FT/Opentransit - not sure, mostly native if not all native by now
C+W - AS 1273 is native, not sure how much of in- country UK they cover
NTT/Verio - known thing, all native
Teleglobe - unsure, mostly native
Telecom Italia Sparkle - unsure, native... (somehow[tm])
Telefonica - unsure, native... (somehow[tm])
Sprint - tunnels for the desperate with full routes or nothing (argh)
Global Crossing - mostly tunnels
Telia - last I know is using tunnels
Level3 - unsure, but started offering IPv6, too early to say I think

Who else? 12702 exists, but had some E1 circuits two years
ago between their nodes in UK/NL/DE... *cough*

There might be several local networks, sure, but I am
thinking more of the European backbones.

I will leave out my employer's network, and did not intend
my previous mail to be picking on that aspect.

Does anyone want to comment? I can and will summarise if you
send things to me. Might save on spam^Wmails...

Alexander
