The following list of IPv6 - Tunnel brokers lists tunnel operators that RFC 3053 are -compliant. This RFC describes a system with which the user can set up a tunnel via a server - which is called Point of Presence (PoP) - via which he is supplied by a provider with an IPv6 connection via a non-IPv6-capable Internet access.

The columns show the following information:
| Surname | The name of the organization providing the tunnel broker. This is usually an internet service provider . | |
|---|---|---|
| PoPs | Number of installed PoPs. | |
| Location | Location (s) at which the provider maintains one or more Point of Presence (PoPs). | |
| Subnet | The size of the subnet that the provider allocates to the end customer per tunnel. The size is usually between / 127 and / 64. | |
| Tunnel protocols | ||
| Enumerates the tunnel protocols provided by the tunnel broker. This has z. B. an effect on whether the tunnel can be used behind NAT or with frequently changing IPv4 addresses. | ||
| 6in4 | If the IPv6 packet tunnels directly into IPv4, it is also known as 'proto-41' because the protocol has the protocol number 41. | |
| 4in6 | Tunnels IPv4 directly in IPv6 packets. | |
| TSP | The "Tunnel Setup Protocol", it uses UDP-based tunnels. | |
| AYIYA | It allows users behind a NAT and / or with a dynamic IPv4 address, and also supports roaming between different networks. It uses UDP-based tunnels. | |
| heartbeat | Heartbeat tunnels are 6in4 based, but allow dynamic IPv4 addresses, which are automatically corrected without user intervention. | |
| Features | RDNS | Shows whether the provider allows reverse DNS delegations of the allocated network. |
| BGP | Shows whether the tunnel broker optionally allows peering via BGP in order to use its own address space. | |
| Multicast | Shows whether the broker allows IPv6 multicast over the tunnel. | |
| Registration required | ||
| The available login options. | ||
| Anonymous | Anyone can use the service without registering. | |
| Registration | It is necessary to register and provide personal details (at least the email address). | |
| configuration | ||
| Shows available methods to configure tunnels and provide subnets from the broker | ||
| Script | The broker provides a script on its website. | |
| Manually | All settings must / can be made manually here. | |
| TSP | Uses the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP), this requires the gogoclient | |
| TIC | Uses the Tunnel Information and Control (TIC) Protocol, implemented e.g. B. in the Automatic IPv6 Client Connectivity Utility (AICCU), AVM FRITZ! Box , Draytek , Motorola and others. | |
| Url | URL indicates whether changes to the tunnel parameters can be made via the provider's website (for example, switching the tunnel on / off or changing the end point). | |
| language | Shows which language (s) are supported by the provider's user interface. | |
| prefix | Shows which IPv6 prefix (s) are used for the tunnel broker. If a / 32 network is specified, only part of it is used for tunnels / subnets, as this represents the entire network of the provider. | |
| Server-side implementation | The implementation used by the tunnel broker. | |
Implementations
There are a large number of tunnel brokers as each provider offers its own implementation. Only the implementations used by all tunnel brokers listed here are listed here.
Gogo6 gogoSERVER
gogoSERVER (formerly Gateway6) is used by the Freenet6 service; this was the first IPv6 tunnel broker service - it went live in 1999. It started as a Viagenie project and was then spun off as Hexago; this was a company which Gateway6 - the service provided by Freenet6 - sold as their flagship. In June 2009, Hexago became gogo6 through a management change and the Freenet6 service became part of gogoNET, a social network for IPv6 experts.
SixXS sixxsd
sixxsd was the service that operated all SixXS PoPs. It was software designed to offer high-performance, low-latency tunnels. The development of the service started in 2002 and evolved into the last v4 version of the software. SixXS ceased operations on June 6, 2017.
CITC ddtb
CITC Tunnel Broker is operated by the Saudi Arabian IPv6 Task Force. It is your own implementation based on the TSP RFC.
