 Kevin,

We see that prefix from AS2547:

BGP routing table entry for 2001:4810:2000::/35, version 421724
Paths: (2 available, best #1, table Global-IPv6-Table)

But I don't get an echo reply, and traceroute fails with "Destination 
Unreachable - Address Unreachable":

traceroute6 to 2001:4810:2345::6 (2001:4810:2345::6) from

(Our above mentioned router is the first hop in the traceroute output.)

Don't know if this problem is related to the 4-byte ASN somehow, maybe 
not.
