List of IPv6 tunnel brokers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The following is a list of IPv6 tunnel brokers[1] that conform to the principles of RFC 3053 which describes a system with which users can request creation of an IPv6 tunnel on a host called a Point of Presence (PoP) which, using the tunnel, then provides the user with IPv6 connectivity.

There are a variety of tunnel brokers that provide their own implementations based on different business goals. For example, one tunnel broker product on the market is called gogoSERVER (formerly Gateway6).[2] Freenet6 was the first tunnel broker service, going into production in 1999. It was started as a project of Viagenie and then Hexago was spun off as a commercial company selling Gateway6 (which powered Freenet6) as their flagship product. In June 2009 Hexago became gogo6 through a management buyout and the Freenet6 service became part of gogoNET, a social network for IPv6 professionals.[3]
