[c-nsp] Humor: Cisco announces end of BGP

[Robert VanOrmer]

Verizon: IPv6!

 

We do have a IPv6 transport from Verizon, granted. (1) good luck globally
routing your /48 outside of VZB land, they won't do it unless your providing
a /32, and if you have been delegated any address space from an RIR, (2)
good luck getting delegated addressing from Verizon's chunk, they require
you to return any space delegated by an RIR before they will provide any of
there own. we are stuck in that Catch-22, but they are offering services.
Shows the lack of maturity in IPv6, but it's coming.

Let's see...from our "big carriers":

 

AboveNet: No IPv6

Verizon:  No IPv6

Savvis:  No IPv6

Level3: No IPv6

GBLX: IPv6!

Verio: IPv6!

 

Sure, we have some smaller providers and peers that run it, too, but until
the majority of our so-called "Tier 1" providers start deploying it *and
making it easy to request*, I stick to my guns by saying that he wasn't that
far off.
