We offer a tunnel broker and a 6to4 relay for remote users, e.g. students in home networks or staff in wireless hotspots at conferences. At present tunnel broker users connecting get either a single IPv6 address or a /64 prefix. To offer more, in particular a /48 from our tunnel broker, we would need to use our RIPE membership to obtain LIR status and get a larger ‘ISP’ prefix.

We are assisting UKERNA to deploy a national academic IPv6 tunnel broker, using the Hexago broker which includes TSP support.
