IPv6 enabled carriers?
Does anyone have a list of carriers who are IPv6 capable today? I would assume this would be rolled out in larger cities first but anything outside of "testbed environments" and "trials" as in Comcast's recent announcement seems to be all that is available. I'm being tasked with coming up with an IPv6 migration plan for a data center. Mostly interested in if ATT, Level3, GLBX, Saavis, Verizon Business and Qwest are capable as those are the typical ones I deal with. Thanks...Chuck

Ones I have personal experience with: GLBX - yes SAVVIS - no VZB - yes, good luck ATT - "Beginning in 1Q2010 MIS will provide the ability to support IPv6 in a dual stack mode." When I disconnected my SAVVIS circuit in November 2009 I explicitly told them IPv6 was a deciding factor. Not all of Verizon's pops are IPv6 enabled, which may cause you trouble ordering it. It's put me in month 11 of trying to turn up a dual-stack circuit because they refuse to read the order and keep putting it in Sacramento (v4 only) when it needs to go to San Jose (dual-stack). Sprint wasn't on your list, but they are rolling out native IPv6 support on all of 1239. I've been using their 6175 testbed since 2005. ~Seth

Recent experience with VZB in a major central European city: VZB: we can tunnel 6 to you over 4 but the /48 we give you will probably change down the line once we roll out "real" v6.

To pile on in the spirit of "if people don't complain, nothing will change" - is VZB still insisting on filtering >/32 at their peers? While ARIN is allocating /40s and /48s directly? -C On Mar 10, 2010, at 2:18 PM, Seth Mattinen wrote:

I believe so ... will be even more impactful as LTE gets deployed. Another nit - They are also blocking Protocol41 on their EV-DO network. While this is a 'noble, if poorly thought out, effort' to prevent IPv6 from impacting their cel phone users - it kind of messes up those of us who have aircards (and got used to 6to4 for quick and dirty IPv6 connectivity). /TJ

If you want quick&dirty then 6to4 is not going to help you in most cases anyway, as you are mostly landing behind a NAT, as such Teredo (miredo on non-windows boxes) is a way out and there is of course TSP which can run over TSP and AYIYA. For some magical reason I prefer the last ;) Also note that is it is their network, they can filter all they want, just like you do you in your own. (How did you btw determine that it is filtered, maybe the 6to4 packets are just not coming back from a broken relay somewhere, that is very hard to determine) Greets, Jeroen

In general, yes - but VZW's EV-DO (currently) always hands-out a public IP ...
Also note that is it is their network, they can filter all they want, just like you do you in your own.
Sure, and ISPs that do this (too much) get bad press and lose customers ...
(How did you btw determine that it is filtered, maybe the 6to4 packets are just not coming back from a broken relay somewhere, that is very hard to determine)
Because someone (who may have been employed by my employer) showed them that cel phones were horrendously exposed (I am looking at you, Windows Mobile devices) to IPv6 via Prot41 ... and their answer, rather than fix the problem, was to just block Prot41 (whether this is an ACL or they black-hole 192.88.99.1 I don't care, they should (IMHO) stop). Atleast that was what I heard, and 6to4 currently fails - leading me to believe this to be the case. (I also believe they are munging AAAAs queries or replies, but haven't taken the time to poke into that or work around it as I just use less-quick and less-dirty IPv6 connectivity - which may include the options you plugged :) ) -- /TJ

how so exactly?? LTE is really just a 'last mile' tech... whether it's v4 or v6 doesnt' seem to matter (to the fact that it's LTE)

Agreed. But, the hope is that LTE will be a "green field" IPv6 deployment both to the end-user device and in the infrastructure. There are some material difference in LTE (dual-stack bearers) that make LTE more IPv6 friendly.
Another nit - They are also blocking Protocol41 on their EV-DO network.

And, some of those carriers, are working very hard to deploy native IPv6 to the customer, and have beta networks on the air now. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/3gv6/current/msg00269.html -Cameron [t-mobile employee]

Mostly domestic until ~mid-year, limited port availability in the next couple of months, more sites and port speeds available as the year and the rollout progresses. www.sprintv6.net or your Sprint sales droid will have updates as they're available.

I believe most of the ones you've listed have service offerings in various stages of availability. You should be able to pop over here: telnet route-views.equinix.routeviews.org and take a look at the table easily enough to determine what providers have it enabled. Some have been operating with a different ASN for a number of years, including ATT and Sprint. If you're not feeding route-views, and are IPv6 enabled, please do. It helps those interested in routing research and is a valuable community asset. - Jared

We have a dual-stack 10G link to XO here in Seattle so they are doing it as well... Savvis is not doing v6 yet either so far as I know, we are going to make that an issue at our next renewal. I am told that level3 is working on a full dual-stack roll-out currently and that it should be available "soon" and will replace the current tunneled options they have.

SixXS maintains a list here: http://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=ipv6transit. The IPv6 BGP weather map is a good resource: http://bgpmon.net/weathermap.php?inet=6 You can also use Geoff Huston's IPv6 CIDR report: http://www.cidr-report.org/v6/as2.0/ <plug>I should also note that my employer, tw telecom, offers IPv6 everywhere on 4323 - you have to ask for it, but it is available.</plug> ~Chris On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 12:00, Charles Mills <w3yni1@gmail.com> wrote:

I think that list should also include TeliaSonera. TSIC does offer v6 transit, although their product sheet only mentions IPv4. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks. Security. -- George R.R. Martin: A Clash of Kings

"Updates & addons can be directed to The SixXS Staff." aka info@sixxs.net ;) All of these entries have been requested by the company themselves as such the company states that they can deliver. As the page states, peeringdb is also an excellent place to figure out where those providers are truly present (again according to what they provide to these systems). Greets, Jeroen
We are getting native IPv6 from HE and Qwest at this time. Qwest was doing a beta of IPv6 that we were (are) a part of. Not sure of they have ended the beta and rolled out to production. ---- ---- ---- ---- Chris Gotstein, Sr Network Engineer, UP Logon/Computer Connection UP http://uplogon.com | +1 906 774 4847 | chris@uplogon.com On 3/10/2010 1:00 PM, Charles Mills wrote:

Check out http://www.getipv6.info there is some information there. Hurricane Electric has a full production dual-stack environment.

To the best of my knowledge, each of those has varying degrees of IPv6 availability and none is "full production product" yet. My information could be old. Owen

Always fun to read how people who work for some place (you might want to use either your work address or actually disclose directly why you are pimping something) like to bash their competition else while they run a 'full production' network without providing true arguments to counter that, nevertheless lets take a look at that "full production network": 3 10g-3-2.core1.sjc2.ipv6.he.net (2001:470:0:3c::1) 66.649 ms 66.555 ms 66.511 ms 4 10g-3-2.core1.pao1.ipv6.he.net (2001:470:0:32::2) 59.644 ms 62.214 ms 62.164 ms 5 3ffe:80a::b2 (3ffe:80a::b2) 61.770 ms 62.135 ms 62.506 ms 6 hitachi1.otemachi.wide.ad.jp (2001:200:0:4401::3) 182.958 ms 181.156 ms 181.346 ms 7 2001:200:0:1c04::251 (2001:200:0:1c04::251) 183.827 ms 181.617 ms 181.554 ms Yes, 6bone is still alive (sing along to that well known Portal tune ;) I, and others, have mentioned that problem already several times since 2006-06-06, you know the day that 6bone got shut down. It is also still amazing that "full production networks" are not able to do proper uRPF or let alone IRR based filtering as in that case you would not even see that nonsense... Also if you are running such a "full production network" you might want to disclose the traffic levels that you do. Or is there something to hide there? Thus: please actually FINALLY fix your "full production network" by finally renumbering at PAIX. You are peering with other folks, thus you know who is on the other side, as such, after 4 years, you might want to finally move on from this 6bone space and possibly deploy uRPF. Then again, you'll notice those traffic levels one day when you will go into history as the source of the first large spoofed DoS attack against whatever truly important service.
