And of course in the American higher education space, IPv6 traffic handling was one of the factors that motivated the selection of Juniper's T640's for the next generation of the Abilene/Internet2 backbone (see: http://archives.internet2.edu/guest/archives/I2-NEWS/log200204/msg00003.html). Related to that, a growing number of Internet2 connectors now do native IPv6 peering with the Abilene backbone (rather than tunnelling their v6 connectivity), including NYSERnet, the Pittsburgh Gigapop, Great Plains, WiscNet, 6Tap, CUDI, ANS, MAX, Surfnet, and APAN. (see, for example: http://listserv.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0207B&L=abilene-ops-l&P=R2) Regards, Joe
