> Cisco will lead a consortium of industry and academic institutions in 
> building an IPv6 research network funded by the European Commission (EC). 
> It will provide an IPv6 network infrastructure with routers and switches 
> running Cisco IOS software. "6NET" will give service providers and 
> European research and educational institutions the opportunity to define 
> network capabilities for applications and services to Internet users. 
> "Communication networks in general and the Internet in particular are the 
> life-blood of the information society," comments Frans de Bruine, a 
> director of the Information Society Technologies Programme, European 
> Commission.
>
> "The 6NET test bed is at the heart of European-funded advanced networking 
> experiments. This consortium intends to widely deploy IPv6 across the 
> European research community and beyond."
>
> The demand for IPv6 has been increasing as the need for IP addresses grows.
>
> The 6NET project will span eight European countries and establish links 
> with other IPv6 initiatives in North America and the Asia-Pacific region.
