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."

Yes, I think we can all be glad we got that out of our systems.
By the way, did I hear someone say that the IPv6 peering agreement was moist and delicious?

Oh come on. Just because you're no fun, doesn't mean we aren't.
