The Vatican taking the lead in IPv6 rollout?

IPv6 slowly seems to become more mainstream, we hear about IPv6 more and more and it seems that at least some Service providers and governments understand that there is a sense of urgency. Regularly we see the statements of networks that are planning to roll out IPv6 and vendors that are promising to make their products IPv6 ready.

But talk is cheap and the question remains, how far are we actually with rolling out IPv6 deployment? We tried to answer that question by looking at the Internet Routing tables.

Peering Disputes Migrate to IPv6

Disputes over peering, which have quickly made the jump from IPv4 to IPv6.

Complaints of a “broken IPv6 Internet” emerged last week on the North American Network Operators Group mailing list, which surfaced a peering issue involving IPv6 connections between Hurricane Electric and Cogent Communications.

While Hurricane Electric pointed the finger at Cogent, it has also extended an olive branch. Leber’s NANOG post commented that “we stop short of baking cakes” to encourage peering. But at this week’s NANOG 47 meeting in Dearborn, Mich., Hurricane Electric presented a cake inscribed with an invitation to Cogent to peer with HE over IPv6.
