History of IPv6 6bone pTLA 3FFE:8280::/28 allocated to XS4ALL-NL Bob Fink fink@es.net Tue, 02 Oct 2001 12:30:03 -0700 XS4ALL-NL in The Netherlands has been allocated pTLA 3FFE:8280::/28 having finished its 2-week review period. <http://whois.6bone.net/cgi-bin/whois?XS4ALL-NL> Note that it will take a short while for their pTLA inet6num entry to appear in the 6bone registry as they have to create it themselves.
