Quite a bit actually. Our experience at Efficito may be interesting.
We previously had backups located in Denver and production servers located in Europe, both through the same hosting provider (FDC). We never could get IPv6 working flawlessly (high packet loss, etc) intercontinentally and the problems weren't on our side.
We moved to Hetzner and have our systems spread throughout their datacenters (backups, and some backend systems on one side, customer data on the other) and have had absolutely no problems with ipv6.
What this tells me is that somewhere between the Czech Republic and Colorado there are routers which although they sort of support ipv6 don't do so in a usable way.
- MichaelGG 13y agoWere they using HE as an ISP? I ask because HE makes a big deal of IPv6, and we regularly get packet loss between LA and Denver on IPv4. Way overloaded. FDC says they use Cogent -- Cogent used to be not-so-great (they're better nowadays).
- einhverfr 13y agoWe didn't look into it too closely. mtr would have told us but we didn't go into it. They did tell us that if we upgraded our servers and switched data centers, we would get better peering. But we opted at that point to move off and go with Hetzner instead because we weren't at a point at the time when their higher end servers would have made sense.
