6Bone IPv6 Network Shutting Down Tomorrow 161
theberf writes "On June 6, 2006 the experimental IPv6 network, the 6bone, will be
shut down. All 3FFE:: addresses will revert to the IANA and should no
longer be used. All IPv6 traffic should now be using production IPv6
addresses delegated by Regional Internet Registries.
The 6Bone has been in operation for 10
years." Here's some more information about "IPv6 day."

So, just like IPV6 then.
The 6bone dying means the last ipv6 broker I know of just went out of commission...
In some ways it's a pity that ISPs never deployed it - it could have been in wide use by now. As it was you had to search all over the world for a broker and cope with 500ms first hop ping times & service that was never reliable.. the world has moved on and no longer needs it.

When you can cram enough memory into routers to handle the tables.
(Note that some of the tables are not what you'd expect, but are from algorithm hacks to speed up searching to achieve adequate instruction/packet ratios.)
For 1024 bits, absent algorithmic breakthroughs, you'd need so much that storing one bit per quantum on all the particles in the router wouldn't be adequate. You'd have to go to chipped or even nudged quanta (though you probably wouldn't need to go all the way to pizzication.) B-) See Hal Draper's MS Fnd in a Lbry [comcast.net] if you don't know what I'm talking about.)
