That doesn't even make any sense. IPv4 is a contended resource, but IPv6 is not. They're already double-dipping by charging for the extra BGP sessions.

Subject: Re: Cogent BGP session more than 1 router ipv6

Cogent stopped offering anything larger than a /31 IPv4 and /127 IPv6 on new DIA circuits earlier this year, when previously they provided a /29 IPv4 and /112 IPv6 without issue at no additional cost. Now they expect you to pay additional for this functionality, including for redundant sessions. Unfortunately I have not heard of any success stories for people getting around this as of yet. YMMV

Kind regards,

I am trying to get our Cogent rep to give us a /124 to peer on a Cogent circuit with.  We have multipl routers we want to peer to a cogent transit circuit with.on.

Does anyone have the magic words or a circuit ID example you are doing multiple BGP conenctions on a single circuit?
