6bone
6bone is the name of an IPv6 backbone setup in 1996 by the IETF for testing. It uses tunnels to connect IPv6 installations, mostly run by universities and firms. The 6bone uses a dedicated address space reserved for testing, 3FFE::/16. At its peak in mid-2003, over 150 network prefixes were routed.
