[c-nsp] Recommended IPv6 Resources

[Jeremy Bresley]

A few good resources and cheat sheets:

http://www.estoile.com/   and http://www.estoile.com/links/ipv6.pdf
http://packetlife.net/library/cheat-sheets/
http://search.oreilly.com/?q=ipv6&x=0&y=0

Also check out some of the Live Virtual sessions covering IPv6, some 
very good intros there.  If you can be a bit more specific on what 
specifically you want to read on, I'm sure the group can come up with 
more resources to cover that use case.  (Peering, customer filtering, 
exchange point configuration, access switch issues, MPLS, 6VPE, etc.)
