Who in the World Supports IPv6?
- Hurricane Electric - Runs a production IPv6 network, and offers commercial IPv6 services.
- XS4ALL - Based in Amsterdam. Offers tunneled IPv6 services. XS4ALL access services (dial-up through analog and ISDN, xDSL) are run on IPv6.
- Internet Initiative Japan, Inc. - Offers Tunneled and Native IPv6 commercial services.
- FreeNet6 - Provides tunneled IPv6.
- 6NGIX - As with Hurricane Electric above, 6NIX offers free tunnel brokers.
- NGNlab - Native IPv6 connectivity between the MultiComLab, and the EuroDemo Lab in Brussels. Any one testing features of IPv6 for supporting QoS, mobility, security, larger addressing range, multicast, multimedia, etc., can participate.
- 6Bone - The 6Bone's goal is to aid in the evolution and deployment of IPv6. It offers tunneled IPv6 connection.
- FreeNet6 - This initiative is headed by Viagenie, a private company in Canada. The goal of this project is to deploy IPv6 on a large scale by offering configured tunnels.
- ATRIUM - Aims to "advanced networking and application experiments." A European Terabit Testbed of IP Routers running MPLS over DWDM.
- PlaGE - A French Gigabit testbed.
- GRNET2 - A Greek gigabit testbed running MPLS and DWDM.
- GigaPort Project - Consists of a 2.5-10 Gbps connection between Amsterdam and Chicago. Testing implementations using MPLS and/or Optical BGP.
- The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) operates one of the largest production networks in the world running dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) on Juniper routers. Esnet supports research sponsored by the Office of Science in the Department of Energy (DOE), and "was assigned the very first production IPv6 addressing prefix by the American Registry for Internet Numbers in 1999."
- Abilene – The Internet2 backbone, Abilene, has deployed native and tunneled IPv6.
