Thanks (to you and everyone else that answered before). It sounds like everyone is in agreement. I mostly ask because a customer of mine is considering venturing into the ISP business and expressed interest in offering IP6. If that is the case, I want to do it correctly from the start. -----Original Message----- From: Owen DeLong [mailto:owen () delong com] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 11:30 AM To: Thomas Magill Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Quick IP6/BGP question At Hurricane, most of our IPv6 peerings are exchanging over IPv6 addresses. In general, most routers work better if you run IPv4 peering on IPv4 and IPv6 peering on IPv6. In many cases, this is because the configuration files are less confusing more than any underlying dependency in the router OS. YMMV, but, my recommendation is to peer v6 on v6 and v4 o v4.
