Looking for clued IPv6 transit between Asia and Europe/US

[Jeroen Massar]

Hi,

It seems that we have lost connectivity with most parts of China again.
Traceroutes toward Cernet2 end up in /dev/null somewhere, most likely in
the US behind either AORTA or HE.net. For the rest there does not seem
to be a route to the other side of the globe. There was a very fast
route over the GEANT but it disappeared again.

Is there any transit which can really deliver global IPv6 connectivity?
NTT are able to do it, as demonstrated with one of the best well known
traceroute6 targets www.kame.net. Can a similar deal be done for CERNET
and other ISP's in that area?

Greets & Thanks,
 Jeroen

PS: Could some ISP's please reconsider providing connectivity over ASN's
which are not managed. Better a !N than a route which goes into
/dev/null and only ends up timeing out after too long and thus hurting
the image of IPv6 as working. When it would !N at least it would try
over IPv4, thank you.
