IPv6 Support
The Any2 Exchange fully supports, and encourages use of IPv6.
Any2 currently has about 25% of members with assigned IPv6
addresses, peering at IPv6 through the exchange. In addition,
the Any2Easy route servers are also fully IPv6 enabled, allowing
route server peering at IPv6.
To obtain an IPv6 address, Any2 Exchange members should send a
message to any2@crgwest.com ,
and an address will be assigned within a day of your request.
All new Any2 Exchange members will receive an IPv6 address with
their IPv4 address.
CRG West and the Any2 Exchange project team would like your
feedback, and will support any reasonable member request to enhance
our ability to effectively deliver IPv6 peering to our valued
members, and further support migration from IPv4 to IPv6 within the
Internet community.
ARIN issued the following policy statement regarding IPv6 migration in
May 2007:
ARIN Board Advises Internet Community on Migration to IPv6
Posted: Mon, 21 May 2007
ARIN and the other Regional Internet Registries have distributed
Internet Protocol version 6, IPv6, alongside IPv4 since 1999. To
date, ARIN has issued both protocol versions in tandem and has not
advocated one over the other. ARIN has closely monitored trends in
demand and distribution for both protocol versions with the
understanding that the IPv4 available resource pool would continue
to diminish.
The available IPv4 resource pool has now been reduced to the point
that ARIN is compelled to advise the Internet community that
migration to IPv6 is necessary for any applications that require
ongoing availability from ARIN of contiguous IP number resources.
On 7 May 2007, the ARIN Board of Trustees passed the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ARIN ON INTERNET PROTOCOL
NUMBERING RESOURCE AVAILABILITY
WHEREAS, community access to Internet Protocol (IP) numbering
Resources has proved essential to the successful growth of the
Internet; and,
WHEREAS, ongoing community access to Internet Protocol version 4
(IPv4) numbering resources can not be assured indefinitely; and,
WHEREAS, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) numbering resources are
available and suitable for many Internet applications,
BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Trustees hereby advises the
Internet community that migration to IPv6 numbering resources is
necessary for any applications which require ongoing availability
from ARIN of contiguous IP numbering resources; and,
BE IT ORDERED, that this Board of Trustees hereby directs ARIN staff
to take any and all measures necessary to assure veracity of
applications to ARIN for IPv4 numbering resources; and,
BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Trustees hereby requests the ARIN
Advisory Council to consider Internet Numbering Resource Policy
changes advisable to encourage migration to IPv6 numbering resources
where possible.
Implementation of this resolution will include both internal and
external components. Internally, ARIN will review its resource
request procedures and continue to provide policy experience reports
to the Advisory Council. Externally, ARIN will send progress
announcements to the ARIN community as well as the wider technical
audience, government agencies, and media outlets. ARIN will produce
new documentation, from basic introductory fact sheets to FAQs on
how this resolution will affect users in the region. ARIN will focus
on IPv6 in many of its general outreach activities, such as speaking
engagements, trade shows, and technical community meetings.
