List of IPv6 tunnel brokers
This is a list of IPv6 tunnel brokers 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) that provides IPv6 connectivity to the user's network.

The columns in the table provide the following details:
| Name | The name of the organisation providing the tunnel broker, this generally maps directly to an Internet service provider. | |
|---|---|---|
| PoPs | Number of PoPs deployed | |
| Locations | Locations where the tunnel broker has a PoP where termination of a tunnel can occur. | |
| Subnet | What subnet allocation the tunnel broker provides next to the /127 or /64 for the tunnel. | |
| Tunnelling protocols | ||
| Which tunnelling protocols are provided by the tunnel broker. This has impact on whether one can use a tunnel behind NAT or in cases where the IPv4 address of the user changes often. Check the relevant protocol descriptions for more details, or see this tunneling comparison. | ||
| 6in4 | 6in4 tunnels IPv6 packets directly inside IPv4, also called 'proto-41' due to the protocol number (41) it uses. | |
| TSP | The Tunnel Setup Protocol. It uses a UDP-based tunnel, which is used for both tunnelling and configuration. | |
| AYIYA | AYIYA allows users behind a NAT and/or a dynamic address to maintain connectivity even when roaming between networks. It uses a UDP-based tunnel. | |
| heartbeat[15] | heartbeat is a side-protocol for signalling the current IP address of a user's 6in4 endpoint. This allows the use of a 6in4 tunnels where the user's endpoint is a dynamic IP address. | |
| Features | RDNS | Whether the tunnel broker provides reverse DNS delegations for the address space they provide over the tunnel. |
| BGP | Whether the tunnel broker accepts a BGP peering allowing one to announce one's own address space or see routing information. | |
| Multicast | Whether the tunnel broker provides IPv6 Multicast over a tunnel. | |
| Registration | If registration is optional or required. Registration requires the user provides real details (at minimum an email address, typically also name and address) | |
| Configuration | ||
| What methods are available for configuring tunnels and subnets provided by the tunnel broker | ||
| Script | Indicates that the broker provides a script through their website that one can run on a computer for setting up the tunnel. | |
| Manual | That one can set up the tunnel manually if wanted | |
| TSP | Uses the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP) which requires the gogoclient and which can provide configuration details for TSP protocol tunnels. | |
| TIC | Uses the Tunnel Information and Control (TIC)[16] protocol as implemented by AICCU, AVM FRITZ!Box, Draytek, Motorola and others. This can provide configuration details for static, heartbeat and AYIYA tunnels. | |
| URL | URL indicates that changes to the tunnel parameters can be made on the website (e.g. enable/disable or change the endpoint) | |
| Language | Which languages are supported by the providers web interface and other communication channels. | |
| Prefix | Which IPv6 prefix(es) are used for the tunnel broker. If a /32 is indicated, generally only a portion is used for tunnels/subnets for the tunnel broker or the name of the tunnel broker service that is providing the address space. | |
| Server implementation | The Tunnel broker server software used by the tunnel broker. | |
