IPv6 only

Just a silly shot in the dark from someone who is in what is probably 
one of the smallest IPv6 pockets on the 'net...

I'm curious to find out whether (ie: where) there are such things as 
IPv6-only nodes out on the Internet. To further, I think I'm going to 
configure one (HTTP, SMTP, ICMP, FTP and SSH) for statistics gathering 
purposes.

What I'm really interested in knowing is whether such a 'honeypot' has 
been configured before, and if so, what statistical analysis 
applications do you run to review the results? How do you store the 
results in order to compare them to IPv4 and dual-stack stats?

For instance, I receive about 30% of my email (on my personal domain) 
via IPv6. This is due to the fact that I belong to many mailing lists 
that have the list MTA IPv6 enabled. I have yet to receive a single SPAM 
message via the AAAA side of my MX.

My colleague was asking the other day what the IPv6 Internet is like. He 
says that it seems the term 'IPv6' is all that I talk about anymore. Now 
I'm personally curious to find out what exactly is available, if I flip 
a workstation into IPv6 only, and if I place an IPv6-only server on the 
Internet.

What will I find, and what are others experiences? Might I go as far (as 
a small ISP operator) to ask, what are your expectations to date? 
(...less the complaints about the porn ;)

native v6 transit recommendations in Copenhagen

Hi all,

If anybody has any recommendations for native v6 transit in  
Copenhagen, I would be interested to hear about them. I know a bunch  
of the usual choices, and so I'm particularly interested in novel  
Danish answers I might not have heard elsewhere.

Off-list is fine; I can summarise if there is interest. On-list is  
also fine. :-)

Joe

It was recently discussed on the danish usenet, but no providers was 
found (the discussion started with message-id ftvkbe$4dr$1 <at> zdani.szn.dk 
on dk.edb.internet.udbydere, it can be found with Google Groups).

I have noticed that www.PerspektivBredbaand.dk has recieved a subnet 
from RIPE, but as a customer there, I can tell that they don't advertise 
any routers on-link.

For the time being, 6to4 would be the way to go. The danish research 
network Forskningsnettet have a public 6to4 server near the Danish 
Internet Exchange (DIX). Another option would be to go with SiXXS, 
rumors say that they have a gateway nearby in Sweden.

I would like to hear your results, but since this is a rather local 
issue, then off-list might be better.

That's not a rumor :) http://www.sixxs.net/pops/

Stockholm and Oslo, coming from AS16150 (se.port80)

But on-topic for Joe, SixXS does not provide IPv6 transit to companies, don't
have an SLA, we don't do BGP, and we're not in the IP transit business. We'd
make Joe a lousy partner (and, we're not in Copenhagen -  but we are still
taking POP applications ;)
