[IPv6crawler-wg] Update on project

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Thank you for your update, Sameh. I am looking forward to the next demo!
Please bear in mind that I will be unavailable thursday and friday since
I'll be at the EURODIG conference in Madrid.

Well done for having found the bug which crashed the logs.

I can email you the following additions/amendments to the tunnels
prefix.conf  list:

Replace:

UA030, IPv6nowTry6, IPv6 Now Try6 - ipv6now.com.au, AU, 2406::a000::6:/112

with

UA030, IPv6nowTry6, IPv6 Now Try6 - ipv6now.com.au, AU, 2406:a000::6:/112


(this was an error)

I've also received confirmation for two more tunnels:
Add:

# IIJ- Internet Initiative Japan

UA090, IIJ, Internet Initiative Japan - iij.org.jp, JP, 2001:240:500::/40

# IPv6 Task Force Europe
UA0A0, IPv6TF, IPv6 Task Force Europe- tunnelbroker, ES, 2a01:48::/32

One suggestion which was made was whether one could detect a tunnel
through detecting encapsulation, overhead, mtu, or, as they say
"something similar".

I have conducted some tracepaths to various tunnelled and non-tunnelled
addresses and not found any consequential difference in MTU - in fact,
in some tracepaths, the MTU changes even when traffic isn't tunneled,
due to other types of encapsulation or traffic management.

I am copying others on the list, in case they have a suggestion how to
detect tunnels in a more efficient way than by listing them in a
manually updated list.

Kind regards,

Olivier
