yea... maybe they do, I don't see that from my view of 7018's routing data (limited as it may be)
Interesting.

Looks like they have established a tunnel in the United States perhaps?
how did you gather that? Maybe Tom knows more about this and can let us all know? From:
Remote Access Service to IPv6 Internet
* Support IPv6 for small (or satellite) locations and individual remote users * Reach a dynamically configurable IPv6 Tunnel Gateway through IPv4 ISPs through fractional T1, DSL or dial-up access * The Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP) will be used to create tunnels to transport IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network to the gateway
wow, 'tsp'... uhm, what's that I wonder? This: http://www.broker.ipv6.ac.uk/download.html
perhaps?? yeek!
Yes looks like. Especially with the mention of DSL/dial up access. Plus I seem to recall some discussion around the ipv6 mandate having some language specifying they had to support it transit wise, but not necessarily be on v6 addresses. [1] Anyone from .gov with ATT connectivity care to comment (both on the nature of the native/tunneled v6 offering and the actual requirements of meeting the mandate) [1] Language from http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2005/m05-22.pdf "Meaning the network backbone is either operating a dual stack network core or it is operating in a pure IPv6 mode, i.e., IPv6-compliant and configured to carry operational IPv6 traffic."
