[arin-discuss] Implementing IPv6

[Mike A. Salim]

Interesting ... 

 

We implemented IPv6 over an year ago and all seems well, we have not had
any reports of any unreachable addresses.  Is there a way to test
whether or not this is an issue for us?  I tried pinging a Cogent IPv6
address and an HE IPv6 address and both work OK for me but a simple
ping6 test does not rule out potential problems:

 

ping6 -n ipv6.cogentco.com

 

ping6 -n ipv6.he.net

We received our /32 IPv6 block from ARIN awhile back but before we could
do anything with it we needed to do some hardware / IOS upgrades on our
backbone.  We got enough of that finished last week that we decided to
"roll out" IPv6 and see how things looked.

 

After a couple days of trouble shooting why none of the engineers in our
data center could reach their Hurricane Electric Tunnel networks at home
(and vice versa),  I stopped looking at our backbone and started looking
at Google.

 

It appears that the squabble started in 2009 between Cogent and HE is
still in progress.  I was wondering if anyone on this list had any
"inside" information about the problem and whether or not there was an
end in sight.  It seems to me that having a disconnect between two major
players is going to hinder IPv6 adaptation.

 

 

 

Thank you,
