I used to run an IPv6 network in the UL Telecomms Research Centre, I had a
Linux box, Solaris 2.5.1+sun ipv6 and NT4+MS Research IPv6, I had a tunnel
originally to DIT  (some FYP), and then to some place in England, since
then I've let it go due to not working in U.L. any more ... getting
together all the Linux utils was probably the hardest work, getting the
tunnels up wasn't a major problem.... I think running an Irish IPv6
backbone or tunnelling system would require someone to run it with support
in case they depart, I remember when DIT stoppped doing it it was most
annoying...
