This article reminded me that I really needed to stop relying on a tunnel over my backup DSL line for IPv6 and spend the time to get my own ISP on the road to deploying IPv6.
Step 1: Request address space from ARIN
Took <1 day to get a reply that we'd be getting the space that day, a few more hours to receive a /32. That was easy.
Did you have existing IPv4 space with ARIN? If so, I have to wonder if I would get the same speedy service from ARIN as a new entrant without existing ipv4 space? :) I'm looking at building a large network with Ipv6 in the Los Angeles metro area, to serve a number of small businesses via a large scale wireless network. Essentially a large scale private WAN, with globally routable addresses (for a VoIP/IPTV roll out later) So I'm not exactly a traditional ISP or colocation customer, but share characteristics with them. Does this matter? Should I just submit my request and see what happens? -- Charles Wyble (818) 280 - 7059 http://charlesnw.blogspot.com CTO Known Element Enterprises / SoCal WiFI project
