That said, even such a distant gateway would be fine for v6 *eyeballs* if organizations would voluntarily set up 6to4 outbound relays for their own v6 networks. It's as simple as setting up a route to 2002::/16 at the border with a 6to4 conversion.
The problem is building a high performance gateway. Currently you have about the following two options: a) set up / configure a Cisco used as 6to4 gateway b) set up a dedicated host (Unix box) as 6to4 gateway Approach a) is good for only few traffic, really. Approach b) is more complex. Both approaches aren't really appealing. I'm waiting for vendor J to enable option c)... implementing 6to4 via the Tunnel PIC (or other PICs including the Tunnel PIC functionalities like Link Services PIC). It's a very simple translation/encapsulation which doesn't require any state keeping, shouldn't be a big deal. I can imagine a few larger IPv6 ISPs then suddenly implementing 6to4 gateways. :-) Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr () cluenet de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
