Dear Sir/Madam IPv6 is one of the key research areas within NC3A and we have come across an issue on addressing. I have presented my questions to SURFnet ( which you can find below ) Since Surfnet has not yet presented their views yet I continued my search. I came acros the ECP IPv6 portal and a presentation by Rumy Kanis from RIPE NCC. http://www.ecp.nl/ipv6/docs/Rumy_Kanis_27apr05#1 which refers to IPv6 plicy and this seems relevant to our problem. I am wondering if you can lead me to the right channel for some more guidance on the issue of global IPv6 addres assignments for large geographical distributed organisations like NATO , We are also curious in which database tools are used by RIRs ? Could you help me in finding the right sources or people to get more clearness on this issue so we can further expand our IPv6 work.
