I had a good look last night, and there's not a lot of options. Gogo6 no longer has a Sydney PoP. Aarnet's tunnel broker is still running, but finding a compatible client is tough these days (the current gogoc does not work with it). There is an Australian provider (IPv6 Now), but you either have to put up with a no frills free tunnel (dynamic IPv6), or pay from $20/month (at least you get a SLA). The practical options for those of us in .au seem to be: 1. Internode (by far the best option, as you get reliable native IPv6 and reverse DNS delegation). 2. Aarnet (if you can find the right tspc version, no reverse DNS). 3. IPV6 Now (free version has dynamic IPv6 and no rDNS delegation). 4. SixXS (nearest PoP is in New Caledonia, which doesn't have too severe latency). Anything else has severe latency, due to distance from PoPs. It's a pity Hurricane Electric (he.net) don't have a PoP in .au, as their tunnel broker is rock solid. I use them to provide IPv6 for a VPS in the US, and the latency over IPv6 from here is actually less than IPv4. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
