Currently in europe, at least, there are only a few 6to4 relays:
- Switch
- Cybernet
- Funet
There are others (e.g. three I know of in the UK). How public they are
is another issue.
Just to put 6to4 in perspective for its current deployment, I am not
aware
of any European NRENs that are using 6to4 to connect sites to their
national
IPv6 deployments. Everything is done by manually configured tunnels.
That's not to say 6to4 doesn't have a place (our students use it for
access
from their home networks, and it will work behind a NAT with tunnel
forwarding)
but it is perhaps more likely to be in large customer networks?
To play devil's advocate, who is using 6to4 in a notable deployment?
Define a notable deployment. Windows XP comes with IPv6 support. It
isn't on by default, but with a few commands, IPv6 is on and 6to4 is
up. Mac OS X 10.2 (a.k.a. Jaguar) ships with IPv6 on and listening for
routing advertisements. With a command, 6to4 is on and the node has an
IPv6 address.
