We are picking up our transit natively at our PoP in London. Many ISPs 
in Europe seem to have climbed on the IPv6 bus so there are usually a 
number of choices of varying qualities.

Our core is native IPv6. ;-)

I was wondering what is considered 'not-native'?

I have been avoiding 6in4 and transition tunnelling protocols where 
possible. We are however using layer-2 tunnels in various places. These 
IPv4 and IPv6 packets arrive 'natively' at the end user with a 1500 MTU 
available. Doesn't seem to cause any harm ;-)
