Global Crossing says it has deployed native IPv6. Also, TeliaSonera has picked Lucent to help it prepare for IPv6 service.

"IPv6 [...] delivered over our global, MPLS-based backbone."
It's not clear whether they're doing 6PE over their v4/MPLS backbone, running v6 in parallel to v4/MPLS or running v6/MPLS (I don't think vendors support this).
At least one of these doesn't (IMHO) qualify as "native IPv6 [backbone]".
They are delivering native v6 sessions (both customer handoff and backbone links) via their Juniper core. I don't know what they're doing with the GSRs, or even how many of them they have left, but I di know that all of the Juniper-based v6 is native. The "MPLS-based backbone" stuff is just standard marketing fluff. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
