Re: 10GE router resource

[Joel Snyder]

 Also I'd love to hear recommendatios for budget 10GE
 routers. The budget router would be used to hook up
 client networks through one 10GE interface and connect
 to different transit providers through two 10GE
 interfaces.

If you don't need BGP-ish power, David Newman just published his test of 
10GigE switches today in Network World. He was focusing mostly on 
switching in the enterprise, but he has a variety of other performance 
metrics and results which may be helpful:

IPv6 tunnel for ISP sought

[Joel Snyder]

Hello.  I looked through the recent archives and didn't see this 
question addressed, so please excuse me if it has been beaten to death 
or is considered off-topic.


We have a UUnet link and a secondary provider.  The secondary provider 
has no IPv6 facilities.  UUnet (er, Verizon Business) has IPv6 clue, but 
there is an impenetrable wall between the customer and the clue which 
assures that there will be no IPv6 links or tunnels ever given to customers.


We would like to get an IPv6 tunnel to begin limited testing of IPv6 for 
customers.  Is there any IPv6-savvy ISP out there who will give/sell 
tunnels to other ISPs?


Experimentation with SixXS.NET has proven to be problematic, so I'd 
rather have a more stable and commercial relationship if possible.


As you might guess, our IPv6 traffic load is estimated to be between 
zero and unmeasurably small, but we'd still like to have it hover 
above the absolute zero mark.


Any help/pointers/advice/proposals gratefully solicited.
