<p class="MsoNormal">Dear AusNOG,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please be advised that after many years of service the AARNet IPv6 Tunnel Broker (<a href="http://broker.aarnet.net.au/">http://broker.aarnet.net.au/</a>) service is being discontinued as the hardware and software are no longer supported.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst it will be missed, we are happy to see a large number of services providers in Australia are now offering IPv6 services to their clients directly which has resulted in the reduction of usage this service has provided to the point
where it no longer makes economic sense for AARNet to keep providing this service.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be switching the broker off on Sunday the 7<sup>th</sup> of April 2019 at 10pm AEST.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
