This host is in 6net, not in 6bone, if I got that right from our networkers. It is connected with an 100Mbit interface, but I don't know if I can get that performance over IPv6 over long distances. > The IPv6 Internet, as I understand it, is well under way in Europe and > Asia, however. This surely has something to do with the fact that IPv4 addresses are running out here and in Asia more quickly than in the US. Ok, so I try to setup that mirror. regards, le --=20 Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl@univie.ac.at UNIX-Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Zentraler Informatikdienst (ZID) Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 der Universit=E4t Wien http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
