Re: AW: Cogent - Google - HE Fun

[Jon Lewis <jlewis () lewis org>]

In other words, GOOG is playing peering chicken with Cogent for IPv6.  I'm 
not surprised.  I suggested it during talks with GOOG roughly 10 years 
ago...not saying I had any influence...I'm pretty sure I did not. :)

GOOG wants Cogent to peer.  Cogent wants GOOG to pay for transit (from 
them or someone else to get to Cogent).  If you're well peered / 
multihomed, it's not much of an issue.  If you're a single-homed Cogent 
customer, you should complain to Cogent that they're not providing full 
IPv6 connectivity.
