There is no operational or implementation experience with shim6 at  
this time, that I know of (the technical specifications for shim6 are  
currently incomplete). The shim6 working group has its first meeting  
in August in Paris, after which the goal is to progress quickly to a  
set of specifications which can be implemented.
