Hi,
The following just popped up in the IPv6 Global Routing tables*:
8<-------------------------------------------------
inet6num: 2001:41c0::/32
netname: UK-BBC-20041108
descr: British Broadcasting Corporation
country: GB
------------------------------------------------->8
It is sourced from AS31459, which is the BBC R&D AS, thus might be
that it is still sort of experimental, but it is there.
This also proves one big thing to all the people complaining about
getting a TLA. If the BBC can get it, any large organization can get
one. If you can't you simply do not network well enough.
Props to the BBC for going ahead and not staying behind!
(Btw, any hints on what the BBC is going to do with it?)
Greets,
Jeroen
