It started in 2001 with the support of RENATER, the G6 and the Aristote Association. This network is used for testing network equipments, software, or any implementation related to IPv6 multicast technology. At the beginning of the 6NET project, few sites were connected and almost no technology was available. End-sites were using PC based routers connected all together with IPv6 multicast tunnels. The strong involvement of 6NET partners in the (...) Jerome Durand IPv6 in Africa http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=56 2004-04-05 19:37:08 This is an introduction Article about what use can be done with IPv6 . At ESMT (Dakar SENEGAL), we only have 64 public IP addresses for about 150 computers. This is due to the fact that Africa has not been given many prefixes by the RIPE/ARIN NCC. Therefore, we are forced to use NAT, wich is a complete disaster for peer-2-peer applications, such as MBONE. We are a peer that can only receive, but not send. Thanks to IPv6, we can have plenty adresses (there is no such private adresses (...) Bruno Roger Goals of the M6Bone http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=1 2004-04-05 12:49:34 The M6Bone is a test network: the aim of this project is to offer an IPv6 multicast service to interested sites. This service is based on RENATER-3 (IPv6 enable network), and benefits from the logistic support of the Aristote association which is involved in the broadcasting of the ultra-modern technologies and of the G6 , French group of IPv6 testers. The first goal is to develop an advanced service on IPv6, in order to participate in the promotion of the protocol. It makes it possible to (...) Jerome Durand
