List of IPv6 tunnel brokers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of tunnel brokers[1] that are setup according to the principles of RFC 3053 which describes a system where a user can request setup of an IPv6 tunnel from a host called a Point of Presence (short: PoP) which, using the tunnel, then provides the user with IPv6 connectivity.
There are a variety of Tunnel Brokers in existence each with their own implementations and targets and thus advantages and disadvantages. There is one well known Tunnel Broker product on the market which is called the Hexago Gateway6[2]. Go6 was one of the earliest Tunnel Brokers, Go6 started out as Freenet6, which was a project of Viagenie, then Hexago was formed as a spinoff commercial company which sells Gateway6 as their flagship product.[3].
