Peering Disputes Migrate To IPv6

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the square-peg-and-deliberate-round-hole dept.

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."

      This unfair to Cogent. They are obviously only doing what they must, because they can, for the good of all of us.

    If I were to express confidence that there is a perfectly cogent explanation for the behavior of both disputing parties?

    It's in TFA: it has been empirically demonstrated that accessing it is impossible for most people commenting.

    That's ok. I actually clicked on the link the OP posted.

    I believe this is a new low. Thank you.

    We've all seen people not read the article.

    Occasionally people don't read the summary.

    But to have someone not read the article, and then provide a link to it after googling is priceless. I almost blew coke all over my computer. I'm still chuckling.

    Can someone give me that as an analogy with bi-curious cars instead?

    Yes, I can.

    Your bisexual male friend (who happens to be a car) wants to play with your girlfriend (who is also a car?). BUT he wont let you play with his (multiple) girlfriends, err.. sorry, cars. They're bored and don't get any while he plays away. In fact, I can think of a few situations like this in real life, too!! Wierd but accurate.
