AND IS HERE ONLY FOR HISTORICAL REFERENCE

Note: The 6bone was phased out as of the 6th of June 2006

All 3FFE addresses have reverted to the IANA and should no longer be in use

The 6bone is an IPv6 testbed to assist in the evolution and deployment of IPv6, the next generation Internet network layer IP protocol often referred to as IPng (see the "Case for IPv6"). These pages provide overview
and operational information about the 6bone, and tell you how to join the 6bone. The 6bone operates under the IPv6 Testing Address Allocation of Experimental RFC 2471, allocated by the IPv6 effort of the IETF.
