Hello,
my sixxs-setup works quite well and I'm really happy with it.
But what will happen if I can really get a native IPv6-connection from my ISP? Can I keep my current IPv6-address space (from sixxs) or do I have to switch everything to an other address space which is assigned by the ISP?
Or is it possible to have both subnets working simultaneously?
Thanks,
Torben

I'd imagine your sixxs will continue to run over ipv4, blissfully unaware of the new native ipv6 on the same connection.
And, depending on how you setup the routing, and which subnet you assign the default gateway, you can use either.
Naturally, you won't get double bandwith, even though you are using two subnets :-)

Address space belongs to the POPS...if you want to do native IPv6, you need to give up your address space and use the space that your ISP gives you.
You can run both subnets, although administering it might be a little hairy.

Isn't one of the IPv6 features easy address space migration?

Yes, one of the advantages is that you per-default get a /48 or /56, as such, you will never have to figure out again what your numbering plan looks like, "just" replace the first 48 or 56 bits, presto.
The "just" is in quotes as that is the tricky parts, you need to update them everywhere you store numbers, which is not always places where you have direct control: DNS, firewall rules, etc etc etc
Thus effectively, except for having to figure out the numberingplan nothing changed there.
