[AusNOG] IPv6: Where's my tunnel?

Hi All,

I'm from OCCAID (AS30071), a not for profit R&D network based predominately
in the US and EU.  However, we do have a couple of IPv6 tunnel servers
located in both Brisbane and Sydney (with thanks from guys like Equinix,
Over The Wire and Vocus) and can provide connectivity for both companies
and individuals who are interested in learning and deploying IPv6.

We're able to provide native IPv6 (if you're connected to Equinix Sydney
IX) and/or tunnels in either of these locations (for a tunnel in Sydney we
do require your IP endpoint be visible over Equinix IX).  You can route
your own IPv6 allocation, or take a /48 from us.  Both static routing and
BGP are available.

We have local peering with networks like AARNet, Google, Internode and
Vocus.

Send me an email off list if you're interested and we can setup the
connection.

Cheers,
Lee
