Wouldn't this be a Net Neutrality issue now or would it fall on HE for not
willing to buy transit to Cogent IPv6?

Hi All,

we got an issue today that announces from Cogent don't reach Hurricane
Electric. HE support said that's a feature, not a bug.

So we have splitted Internet again?

I have to change at least one of my uplinks because of it, which one is
better to drop, HE or Cogent?


There is another option, instead of choosing just one - perhaps establish
a tunnel to HE from a L3 device that can do the tunneling in hardware?  You
can get a HE tunnel for free, and they will speak BGP to you.

Alternatively, if you are on any IXes where HE is present - they will not
only peer with you for v6, but announce a full table if you want it.
