Abstract

In this paper we present an overview of the IPv6 activities of European National Research and Education Networks, both within the individual national programmes andin joint studies undertaken within the GÉANT Task Forcefor Next Generation Networks working group. The grouphas an international testbed activity (GTPv6) under whichmany IPv6 aspects have been studied, including routing, interoperability, DNS, multicast, registries and addressing,firewalls, transition and IPv6 applications. We presenta summary of initiatives, including the m6bone multicastIPv6 network, a successful attempt at the IPv6 Land SpeedRecord, and the migration of two NRENs -SURFnet andFunet - to dual-stack IPv6 operation.
