Other FAQ sections

Can I move my tunnel/subnet to another PoP? Can I request multiple subnets over my tunnel? Can I use SixXS tunnels to hide my IPv4 IP? Can a heartbeat tunnel be converted to a static or AYIYA tunnel or vice versa? Do you provide 6to4 connectivity? Do you provide BGP peering? Heartbeat or AYIYA tunnel doesn't work How do I configure my machine to setup the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to the SixXS PoP? How do I give connectivity to other hosts on my subnet? How is my endpoint connectivity tested? I have a firewall, what ports/protocols are used? IPv6 Transition Mechanism / Tunneling Comparison Is my connectivity filtered? / Mandatory IPv6 Filtering on IPv6 Is there a command line/non web tool for SixXS? Is there a traffic/data limit? Is there support for dynamic IPv4 endpoints? Multicast Support My IPv6 is random and changes often. Why? My static endpoint is broken and I don't want to lose credits My tunnel doesn't work My tunnel goes down after some idletime. My tunnelendpoint also is a NAT/Connection Tracker My tunnel/subnet doesn't work at once My tunnel/subnet stays in deleted state PoP's that are marked down The tunnel is slow Transit / I have some other tunnels and now it doesn't work Tunnel endpoint didn't ping What is the MTU of a tunnel? Where can I get native IPv6 / Which ISP's provide IPv6? Where can I get native IPv6 transit? Which PoP should I choose? Why are some PoP's not available for tunnels

Where can I get native IPv6 / Which ISP's provide IPv6?

The following is a list of providers who can provide native IPv6 to their customers Note that this list only comprises Access Providers and not hosting providers. Most hosting providers can provide IPv6 already simply because it is native IPv6. The list contains both consumer and business ISP's or in effect any ISP who provides access to an end-site.

Japanese IPv6 Access Providers are listed on IPv6 Style: IPv6 Services in Japan .

Russian IPv6 Access Providers are listed on version6.ru's Russian ISP List .

For Tunneled connectivity check the Tunnel Brokers list.
For Transit providers check the IPv6 Transit list.

Getting Listed

When you are an ISP providing IPv6 connectivity to endsites and you are not yet listed above, then please contact SixXS, providing them with the above information.

Would it not be bad for SixXS if Native IPv6 was available everywhere?

Why would it? One of the targets of SixXS is to stop providing tunnels to endusers because everybody can get native IPv6 connectivity. Thus if there are enough providers that people don't need tunnels any more, our mission is successful.
