    • Sixxs.net schliesst die Tore für Neuanmeldungen

      Leider kein April-Scherz.

      Sixxs.net, ein IPv6-Tunnelbroker, hat in einer Pressemitteilung verlauten lassen, dass künftig keine Neuanmeldungen mehr akzeptiert werden. Damit fällt ein breit genutzter Weg zur Verbreitung von IPv6 unter Privatanschlüssen weg, und man muss auf die Provider hoffen. Diese sind in der Schweiz allerdings noch dünn gesäht; prominentester Vertreter ist Init7, die neben nativen v6-Anschlüssen auch mit Glasfaseranschlüssen dienen können.

      Sixxs.net empfiehlt allen Abonennten ihrer Leistungen, regelmässig die Provider um die Einführung von IPv6 zu bitten.

      Aus der heutigen Mail:
      Dear [Mike]

      Today is the day: it is time to call your ISP and ask for native IPv6![1]

      You have been using SixXS as an IPv6 connectivity provider, and clearlydid not yet call your ISP to ask them for native IPv6. Or you did, butthey did not really get the message yet or did not provide reverse orstatic addresses: Call them again for native IPv6!

      Over 20 years ago RFC1883[2], the RFC that formally defined IPv6, waspublished by the IETF[3]. From 1996 till 2006 the 6bone[4] existed andfunctioned as a testing ground for IPv6. Per 2006, which is now a decadeago, IPv6 has been available worldwide in production from a large varietyof ISPs.

      During the last decade, IPv4 address space has also run out at most ofthe RIRs and most of the large Internet properties have enabled IPv6 ontheir services.

      SixXS has been in existence since 2001-ish[5] and over the last 15 years wehave been providing connectivity to people around the world.

      Unfortunately it seems a large number of ISPs think that our service isa free pass for them to not deploy IPv6, as they direct their (paying)customers who want IPv6 to our service.

      With IPv6 being 20 years old now, IPv4 addresses being out, and no movementhappening, we started our "Call your ISP for IPv6 action" in December 2015[6].We are now fully [sto p ping, wird zensiert??] accepting signups and tunnel & subnet requests.We'll also be starting to ratelimit IPv4 speeds on the PoPs to make surethat you notice that the freebie that is SixXS will not stay around forever.

      Please really start calling your ISP, which you should have done so repeatedlyalready during the time that you had IPv6 by SixXS and not from your ISP.

      We hope, that by people calling their ISPs, the number one support ticketat these ISPs will be "I want IPv6" and that these ISPs who have typicallynot moved a finger yet in the last two decades to deploy or even test IPv6,will be finally putting IPv6 on their roadmaps
