Thank you all for your replies, it gave me a lot of clues and points to start from.

Hi, if your transit provider doesn't already run native IPv6 you can get a tunnel at tunnelbroker.net, and you can request BGP via a request BGP tunnel command once you are logged in.

Once you have IPv6 connectivity established (either native IPv6 or via a tunnel from anybody) if you want a self teaching procedural guide where you can setup and test various IPv6 services (HTTP, SMTP, reverse DNS, forward DNS, host record glue) then you might checkout our free IPv6 certification service at:

http://ipv6.he.net/certification

It's a bit tongue in cheek and meant to be sort of like entertainment with education for engineers (for example the certification ranks are from "Newb" to "Sage").  By the time you are done you are done IPv6 won't seem weird.  (In fact, you'll probably be thinking "that's it?!")

We are still adding tests and content as people suggest ideas, so if you run through it and see a gap you'd like covered, let me know.

Mike.
