Hello everyone,

Should RIPE include Soft v6CPE in their IPv6 CPE survey ?

These are basically low-cost software solutions that enable an end user to 
get IPv6 global connectivity from their SP's own IPv6 address block and 
service, but works over existing IPv4 access infrastructure and existing v4 
only CPEs.

Soft v6CPEs use a 'short distance' tunneling solution which is terminated at 
the SP premise. Similar to 6RD but doesn't require a hardware CPE, and helps 
in rapidly spreading v6 connectivity.

The Soft v6CPE solution I have seen on PCs has a simple plug and play 
installation and free cost. Note that the SP has to be IPv6 ready at the 
core with global connectivity and install an v6 tunnel server for the 
solution to work; then they can issue global v6 address blocks from their 
allocation to customers.

Regards,
-Ahmed
