This is a big problem for the two providers involved in this "spat" having inconsistent IPv4/IPv6 business relationships (peering, etc).
There are many professional service providers that will happily dual-stack your internet port with consistent business relationships. Don't let these two parties that so far have agreed to disagree prevent you from using IPv6 to its fullest. Select another carrier.
Hi Jared,
Is it really fair to say there are "two" parties in a peering spat when Cogent is one of them?
I know that the following IPv4 as-paths appear to enumerate transit paths where the providers can do IPv6 transit as well. If HE does not take advantage of those existing IP transit connections for whichever IP version I'm not sure where I would cast blame. Perhaps those ports don't have IPv6. I have my own opinions about peering disputes which you can obtain privately. route-views>sh ip bgp 216.218.186.2 BGP routing table entry for 216.218.128.0/17, version 417045 Paths: (35 available, best #26, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) ...snip... 1239 3549 6939 6939 144.228.241.130 from 144.228.241.130 (144.228.241.130) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external 2914 1299 6939 6939 129.250.0.11 from 129.250.0.11 (129.250.0.12) Origin IGP, metric 5, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 2914:420 2914:1008 2914:2000 2914:3000 65504:1299 3356 3549 6939 6939 4.69.184.193 from 4.69.184.193 (4.68.3.50) Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 3356:3 3356:22 3356:86 3356:575 3356:666 3356:2012 3549:4143 3549:30840 701 1299 6939 6939 157.130.10.233 from 157.130.10.233 (137.39.3.60) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external 1668 3549 6939 6939 66.185.128.48 from 66.185.128.48 (66.185.128.48) Origin IGP, metric 7, localpref 100, valid, external 7018 1299 6939 6939 12.0.1.63 from 12.0.1.63 (12.0.1.63) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 7018:5000 3257 1299 6939 6939 89.149.178.10 from 89.149.178.10 (213.200.87.91) Origin IGP, metric 10, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 3257:8100 3257:30052 3257:50001 3257:54900 3257:54901 3561 3549 6939 6939 206.24.210.102 from 206.24.210.102 (206.24.210.102) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external 6453 3549 6939 6939 66.110.0.86 from 66.110.0.86 (66.110.0.86) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external
