Peering Disputes Migrate To IPv6

1sockchuck writes "As more networks prepare for the transition to IPv6, we're seeing the first peering disputes (sometimes known as 'Internet partitions') involving IPv6 connectivity. The dispute involves Cogent, which has previously been involved in high-profile IPv4 peering spats with Sprint, Level 3 and Telia. Hurricane Electric, which has been an early adopter on IPv6, says Cogent won't peer with it over IPv6. Hurricane has extended an olive branch by baking a cake bearing a message of outreach for Cogent."

Seriously, every one of these conflicts that Cogent gets involved in seems to involve Cogent acting like a bunch of dicks
Interesting perspective. Level 3 de-peered Cogent because they wanted Cogent to pay for the access. I believe the others were similar. Since when is not rolling over for a bully the same as "acting like a bunch of dicks"?
