[AusNOG] APNIC IPv6 transit exchange

[Terry Manderson]

Dear AusNog Colleagues,

APNIC is facilitating IPv6 adoption in the Asia Pacific region with an  
IPv6 Transit Exchange.  This will allow APNIC to support IPv6 and at  
the same time expand IPv6 awareness, use, and understanding of IPv6 in  
the Asia Pacific region.  The IPv6 Transit Exchange is a Reasearch and  
Development effort and will continue to run for as long the  
participants require the service, however a horizon may be set when  
commercial providers offer native IPv6 services in a commercial  
relationship.

APNIC will additionally advertise prefixes and negotiate peers for both  
2byte and 4byte Autonomous System numbers (AS) to ipv6 neighbors of  
this service.

The  preference for the IPv6 exchange is that is an MLPA style service.  
That is, we will re-advertise all routes presented to us. And the more  
routes you are willing to advertise the better! As such, any  
organisations willing to offer full transit will be greatly  
appreciated.

Any organisation with an IPv6 prefix is welcome, and encouraged to join.

Please see the following link for more information:
