Re: Level3 IPv6 peering with HE only in London?

Issue seems resolved. I just retested and routing between HE and Level 3
looks normal now.

I emailed about this to friends at HE yesterday. Heard they are working on
it.


I can see forwward as well as reverse paths via Europe - so very likely
they lost connectivity/BGP session with Level3 in US or something like that.


Let's see how it goes.

Confirmed by L3's looking glasses (
http://lg.level3.net/**traceroute/traceroute.cgi?**
site=lvg1&target=www.he.net&**ipv6=true<http://lg.level3.net/traceroute/traceroute.cgi?site=lvg1&target=www.he.net&ipv6=true>
) and my own corporate IPv6 connection from Level 3.

I opened a ticket with Level 3. Anyone else seen this?
