An experimental IPv6 network, run to learn BGP.
AS218705 announces one /48 from two sites, in London and Amsterdam. It runs its own transit and peering, and publishes a looking glass so anyone can query either site's routing table live.

Two points of presence
One prefix, announced identically from both sites for anycast ingress. The sites are linked privately over an encrypted tunnel.

Which site serves the world
One /48, announced from both sites. This is where the internet actually lands. We check it by asking vantage points around the world whether they can load a page over the /48. A prefix can sit in every routing table and still be unreachable, and this is what catches it. Anycast sends each network to its nearest site; a node outage shifts its share to the other. The snapshot refreshes every half hour.

We'll peer with anyone reachable at nine-IX or EVIX, or over Hurricane Electric. Bring your ASN and a v6 prefix; sessions come up unfiltered up to the max-prefix.
The prefix is RPKI-signed and origin-validated as AS218705. Everything you'd check before configuring a session is in the record on the left, or query it yourself in the looking glass above.
