From what I can see it looks that Hurricane Electric only sees this prefix from Equinix and thus routes it up to Ashburn and back. I suppose there could be utilization issues along the path, but the path itself seems like it could be better and may improve streaming with PS Vue. Going halfway up
Playstation Vue is basically unusable when viewing over IPv6 from Tampa Bay Frontier network. A little background first... Almost all traffic from my metro area (Tampa Bay, FL) routes to Miami first, and then continues on to the IPv4 Internet. Frontier does not have residential IPv6 yet, so I am tunneling to the Hurricane Electric Miami POP to get IPv6 connectivity. Point being, the tunneling does not really have an adverse affect on latency. That said, IPv4 streaming is great because I head down to Miami and jump right over to Akamai for the content. 1 4 ms 5 ms 5 ms 192.168.4.1 2 * 18 ms 6 ms 192.168.100.1 3 8 ms 6 ms 6 ms 47.199.160.1 4 8 ms 9 ms 7 ms 172.99.45.80 5 12 ms 13 ms 13 ms ae8---0.scr02.mias.fl.frontiernet.net [74.40.3.73] 6 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms ae1---0.cbr01.mias.fl.frontiernet.net [74.40.1.126] 7 12 ms 12 ms 12 ms lag-101.ear3.Miami2.Level3.net [4.15.156.29] 8 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms NTT-level3-80G.Miami.Level3.net [4.68.127.54] 9 14 ms 13 ms 13 ms ae-4.r05.miamfl02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.3.40] 10 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms a204-2-178-194.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com [204.2.178.194] IPv6 on the other hand, goes down to Miami, up to Ashburn, and back to Miami. 1 clay584-1.tunnel.tserv12.mia1.ipv6.he.net (2001:470:4:4e5::1) 17.460 ms 17.231 ms 16.867 ms 2 10ge13-20.core1.mia1.he.net (2001:470:0:8c::1) 13.187 ms 13.446 ms 13.143 ms 3 100ge11-1.core1.atl1.he.net (2001:470:0:18d::1) 27.223 ms 31.532 ms 27.294 ms 4 100ge8-1.core1.ash1.he.net (2001:470:0:114::2) 45.364 ms 39.037 ms 38.893 ms 5 xe-0.equinix.asbnva01.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (2001:504:0:2::2914:1) 39.565 ms 39.485 ms 39.870 ms 6 ae-2.r23.asbnva02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (2001:418:0:2000::115) 39.356 ms 39.249 ms 42.904 ms 7 ae-1.r20.miamfl02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (2001:418:0:2000::f2) 64.380 ms 65.897 ms 64.124 ms 8 ae-1.r05.miamfl02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (2001:418:0:2000::26a) 65.341 ms 65.324 ms 65.114 ms 9 ae-8.a00.miamfl02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (2001:418:0:2000::166) 68.843 ms 68.839 ms 69.295 ms 10 2001:418:0:5000::929 (2001:418:0:5000::929) 135.368 ms 84.350 ms 219.402 ms 11 g2600-1403-0015-0000-0000-0000-48f7-f02b.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (2600:1403:15::48f7:f02b) 68.629 ms 65.356 ms 65.352 ms the east coast just to come back to the same city (possibly the same facility) is not ideal.
