Experiences with IPv6 peering?

[Marc Blanchet]

FYI:

ping6 2001:550:2:49::1:2
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2002:230:6464::5ab0:35ff:fef4:6fa --> 
2001:550:2:49::1:2
16 bytes from 2001:550:2:49::1:2, icmp_seq=0 hlim=52 time=94.683 ms
16 bytes from 2001:550:2:49::1:2, icmp_seq=1 hlim=52 time=89.926 ms
^C
--- 2001:550:2:49::1:2 ping6 statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 89.926/92.305/94.683/2.378 ms

Cogent is one of our IPv6 transit provider.
