Any2 fully supports and encourages the use of IPv6 peering. In addition, Any2Easy is fully IPv6 enabled, allowing route server peering at IPv6, and we offer Reverse DNS Lookups for IPv6 addresses.
New Any2 participants are automatically issued IPv4 addresses, along with IPv4 addresses.
Existing Any2 participants can obtain an IPv6 address free of charge by e-mailing Any2@CoreSite.com. Once the request is received, your new address will be assigned within one business day. All new Any2 participants receive both an IPv6 address and an IPv4 address with their account.
We urge you to submit constructive comments on our IPv6 offering via the feedback page of this website. CoreSite’s goal is to offer the most efficient, highest performing IPv6 peering to every Any2 participant.
CoreSite also encourages Any2 participants to read ARIN’s policy statement below regarding the transition to IPv6. As a valued customer, we want you to be fully aware of the risks involved with a delayed transition to IPv6.
ARIN Board Advises Internet Community on Migration to IPv6
ARIN and the other Regional Internet Registries have distributed Internet Protocol version 6, IPv6, alongside IPv4 since 1999. To date, ARIN has issued both protocol versions in tandem and has not advocated one over the other. ARIN has closely monitored trends in demand and distribution for both protocol versions with the understanding that the IPv4 available resource pool would continue to diminish.
The available IPv4 resource pool has now been reduced to the point that ARIN is compelled to advise the Internet community that migration to IPv6 is necessary for any applications that require ongoing availability from ARIN of contiguous IP number resources.
On 7 May 2007, the ARIN Board of Trustees passed the following resolution:
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ARIN ON INTERNET PROTOCOL NUMBERING RESOURCE AVAILABILITY WHEREAS, community access to Internet Protocol (IP) numbering Resources has proved essential to the successful growth of the Internet; and, WHEREAS, ongoing community access to Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) numbering resources can not be assured indefinitely; and, WHEREAS, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) numbering resources are available and suitable for many Internet applications, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Trustees hereby advises the Internet community that migration to IPv6 numbering resources is necessary for any applications which require ongoing availability from ARIN of contiguous IP numbering resources; and, BE IT ORDERED, that this Board of Trustees hereby directs ARIN staff to take any and all measures necessary to assure veracity of applications to ARIN for IPv4 numbering resources; and, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Trustees hereby requests the ARIN Advisory Council to consider Internet Numbering Resource Policy changes advisable to encourage migration to IPv6 numbering resources where possible.
Implementation of this resolution will include both internal and external components. Internally, ARIN will review its resource request procedures and continue to provide policy experience reports to the Advisory Council. Externally, ARIN will send progress announcements to the ARIN community as well as the wider technical audience, government agencies, and media outlets. ARIN will produce new documentation, from basic introductory fact sheets to FAQs on how this resolution will affect users in the region. ARIN will focus on IPv6 in many of its general outreach activities, such as speaking engagements, trade shows, and technical community meetings.
