I hope it works. My experience with IPv6 has been hit or miss because my service provider, Cogent, doesn't peer with everyone. So while I can access Facebook's IPv6 address and every international IPv6 service I've tried, I can't access visit ipv6.google.com.
- rwg 15y agoCogent de-peered Google about half a year ago: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nsp/ipv6/29238 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nsp/ipv6/29238 If you're single-homed to Cogent and want global IPv6 connectivity, you should look for another provider.
- justincormack 15y agoSurely they can't just not route to part of the internet?
- jjv 15y agoThey have done this in the past to many others; look up the Sprint - Cogent fight a few years ago. Cogent want peering (i.e. free traffic) with as many providers as possible, but it usually doesn't work out for their peering partners because Cogent's traffic is unbalanced (up / down aren't roughly the same). Usually when you don't have a direct peering arrangement, you route there through other providers, but Cogent specifically blackhole other networks to try and force them to peer.
