It will all get sorted out anyway as we've recently completed a network wide core router upgrade and moved IPv6 into our core, and IPv6 BGP sessions over tunnels are deprecated and being replaced with native sessions. (BTW for observers, he isn't talking about 3ffe prefix announcements, he is talking about a left over 3ffe::/127 address used on a link.) BTW, here is our IPv6 peering information for anybody with a IPv6 BGP tunnel with us, we would be happy to migrate you to native sessions (send email to peering@xxxxxx to get sessions setup): NAP Status Speed IPv4 IPv6 --------------- ------- ------- -------------- ------------------------ EQUINIX-ASH UP 10GigE 206.223.115.37 2001:504:0:2::6939:1 EQUINIX-CHI UP GigE 206.223.119.37 2001:504:0:4::6939:1 EQUINIX-DAL UP GigE 206.223.118.37 2001:504:0:5::6939:1 EQUINIX-LAX UP GigE 206.223.123.37 2001:504:0:3::6939:1 EQUINIX-SJC UP 10GigE 206.223.116.37 2001:504:0:1::6939:1 LINX UP 10GigE 195.66.224.21 2001:7f8:4:0::1b1b:1 LINX UP GigE 195.66.226.21 2001:7f8:4:1::1b1b:2 LoNAP UP GigE 193.203.5.128 2001:7f8:17::1b1b:1 AMS-IX UP 10GigE 195.69.145.150 2001:7f8:1::a500:6939:1 NL-IX UP GigE 194.153.154.14 2001:7f8:13::a500:6939:1 PAIX Palo Alto UP 10GigE 198.32.176.20 2001:504:d::10 NYIIX UP 10GigE 198.32.160.61 2001:504:1::a500:6939:1 LAIIX UP GigE 198.32.146.50 2001:504:a::a500:6939:1 PAIX New York PENDING DE-CIX PENDING NOTA PENDING SIX PENDING > Iljitsch van Beijnum wrote: > > > > On 30-mei-2007, at 13:23, Nathan Ward wrote: > > > >>> I can't seem to reach www.ietf.org over IPv6 these days and I have to > >>> wait 10 seconds before I fall back to IPv4. > [..] > > > I think what's going on is that packets from www.ietf.org don't make it > > back to my ISP.

Just the same as you would expect to see if somebody was using 10.0.0.0/8 address space for a link.

Would you similarly disconnect a nonresponsive customer because they used a /30 from RFC1918 space on a point to point link with you? BTW, I do agree that the links involved should be renumbered immediately. Considering we are in the business of providing connectivity, the thought of tearing down the session as opposed to gracefully getting rid of them didn't cross our mind. > Of course, Neustar, who are hosting www.ietf.org, might also want to > look for a couple of extra transit providers who can provide them with > real connectivity to the rest of the world. That won't renumber Bill Manning's links if that is the problem you are trying to fix. If somebody helps Bill with his IPv6 config, please remove the 3ffe prefix announcement as it is still there, we just happen to be filtering it.
