Re: v6 bgp peer costs?

[Mike Leber <mleber () he net>]

You can get a free IPv6 BGP tunnel from Hurricane Electric at 
http://tunnelbroker.net

We have tunnel servers spread through out the world, so typically the 
nearest server has reasonably low latency from your location.

Of course our main business is selling wholesale native IPv6 and IPv4 
transit, however you don't have to be a paying customer to use our free 
service.
