[Hans Thienpondt]

>From my point of view it seems like Level(3) has the same issue:

http://lg.level3.net/traceroute/traceroute.cgi?site=ams1&target=ipv6.google.com&ipv6=true

router> show route receive-protocol bgp <L3_peer> aspath-regex ".* 15169"
table inet6.0

inet6.0: 4374 destinations, 12674 routes (4374 active, 0 holddown, 0
hidden)
