Sub-domain Update BGP for IPv4 is completed but only advertised within WIDE. BGP for IPv4 is completed but only advertised within WIDE. Addresses block /27, given by John Barlow from Australia is too insignificant to advertise by ISP. Addresses block /27, given by John Barlow from Australia is too insignificant to advertise by ISP. USM (AS17815) is peering with WIDE IPv6 network (AS4717). USM (AS17815) is peering with WIDE IPv6 network (AS4717). Will try to peer with other AS using IPv6 network.

New BGP4+ Peer (In progress…) MANIS has agreed to peer with USM IPv6 network through BGP4+. MANIS has agreed to peer with USM IPv6 network through BGP4+. We are in the process of setting peer with MANIS. We are in the process of setting peer with MANIS. Since USM has no native IPv6 network to MANIS, we will tunnel through TMNet IPv4 network to MANIS. Since USM has no native IPv6 network to MANIS, we will tunnel through TMNet IPv4 network to MANIS.
