go6 Transformation
Hello, as you can see we have added a blog to go6.net. Various authors will cover the different aspects of deploying IPv6 including perspectives from: business, IT, standards, markets/countries, governments and technology. We think this will be a helpful addition to the existing information on go6 geared to help people deploy IPv6.
We are also boosting our infrastructure. For those of you who don’t know, withing go6 we have the popular Freenet6 (FN6) service. After doing their homework on go6 people can get their hands dirty by using v6 in their own networks. FN6 provides free IPv6 connectivity via the FN6 tunnel broker service powered by a single Hexago Gateway6 that has been graciously hosted by Tata Communications on their v6 backbone here in Montreal. In the last six months the FN6 server has been completely overwhelmed by a steady increase in users to the point where people in Asia, Europe and Latin America can barely get a working v6 connection. To remedy this we are in the process of deploying the Freenet6 Federation (FN6F) which will be a group of FN6 servers hosted on various networks around the world. In the coming months we will add servers in the U.S., Netherlands, Germany and Hong Kong. This first expansion should provide the necessary servers and capacity to support any user wanting to experiment with IPv6.
We will also be expanding the FN6 services beyond IPv6 connectivity so stay tuned for more information…
