[as112-ops] IPv6 network block for AS112 and experiments

[Vesselin Kolev]

Dear William,

We (AS5421, Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski") receive prefix
2620:4f:8000::0/48 through GEANT2 (AS20965,http://www.geant2.net/) and
also through our commercial uplink (AS8717). You can see the quagga
vtysh dump bellow:

In addition, GEANT2 looking glass portal is publicly accessible here:

https://tools.geant.net/portal/links/lg/

You can measure visibility of 2620:4f:8000::0/48 at all GEANT2 POPs
across Europe. Looking glass platform is directly connected to JunOS
interface, so the output is JunOS formatted.


Best regards
