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.
