I was looking around for ayiya/aiccu server, and obviously had to realise
that there isn't any, SiXXs doesn't provide one, and large parts are closed
source either. So I've stumbled upon your project, which looks promising.

Apar from the fact that there is no indication how far did it go before you
(seemingly) abandoned it. Does it work, or part of it? Is it useful by any
means, or just the test framework exists? Is there any todo, or most of it
is todo?

Obviously I could start examining the source more thoroughly (which I had
to do probably since you aren't expected to reply anyway) but would be
easier to have you to tell since you have the best insight on its progress.

You can use the TODO file, the wiki pages on this project site, this issue,
email, whatever. 

Thanks.

Thanks.

Just for everyone to know, this is part of the email that I sent to Peter, 
thank you
for bringing this up:

Nabla was started when I was in China doing my graduation project and only 
contact to
the outside world was (unfiltered) IPv6 or a (filtered) HTTP proxy, in the end 
Nabla
became that project. The reason that it has no documentation is that my thesis 
was
supposed to be that documentation. However as it often happens, I've had to 
postpone
that thesis for personal reasons, but good news is that my time is running out 
and I
should finish the thing this spring. So I'll probably start to work more or 
less full
time on this project, however since code is not included in the thesis my 
emphasis
won't be in coding new features but documentation only. Currently I have a 
native
IPv6 connection available, which means that I could start working on Nabla  
testing
as well though.

About the current state, unfortunately as far as I know Nabla is not working as 
is,
but again good news is that it is almost working. I would've written the whole
project in C but writing in C# was faster and I had to get it into a 
semi-working
state, it's a big project for one man without any pay, especially with the whole
cross-platform compatibility kept in mind. My main motivation of the Nabla 
project
indeed is very much related to SixXS. I wrote a long rant about it in
http://juho.vaha-herttua.fi/sixxs/ that I haven't really published. I even 
found a
bug in their service, but they ignored it and just wanted to shut me up. I'm 
not very
fond of SixXS.

I have to mention that if you just want a very quick solution, I think OpenVPN 
works
with TAP devices as well and gives you an open source link-level VPN that can 
be used
to route IPv6 as well. However if you would like to use your valuable time and 
help
me on this project, I would be very happy to co-operate. I find it very sad as 
well
that an almost finished project is in the state that it is right now.

Hi juhovh how are you.

I'm very happy that I've found someone that really as ambition to keep a great
project as this is.
I have a good news for you, I'm also working with a project wich is exactly 
this, and
I would be very happy to help finishing this up.
I'm currently on the last year of my degree in Informatics engineering, and I'm 
doing
an internship on Neoscopio, my project is to develop an IPv6 tunnel broker with 
free
access in Portugal.

We could manage to develop an TunnelBroker server, since Sixxs doesn't give and 
of
their on. :S

We can cooperate in this great project. 

You can reach me on amandio(dot)gomes(at)neoscopio(dot)com

I will be waiting for your answer.

Best Regards,
Amândio gomes
