Within the framework of a pilot project by GIP RENATER, carried out by G6, the infrastructure of Renater2bis has been used to set up an IPv6 pilot network. The aim for the GIP RENATER was to begin to establish the means and mechanisms required to allocate the necessary resources to connect the test sites to the IPv6 pilot (NLA-ID allocation, reverse DNS delegation, IPv4 - IPv6 transition mechanisms, etc.)

The 2001:660::/35 prefix was used for addressing the pilot and connected academic sites. All industrial partners were addressed in the 3ffe:300::/24 address space. Dedicated ATM PVCs were used to transport IPv6 between the different IPv6 POPs. The original /35 prefix has been expanded to a /32 by the RIPE NCC (as part of common RIR policy) since the prefix was originally allocated.
