Disputes over peering, which have quickly made the jump from IPv4 to IPv6.

Complaints of a “broken IPv6 Internet” emerged last week on the North American Network Operators Group mailing list, which surfaced a peering issue involving IPv6 connections between Hurricane Electric and Cogent Communications.

While Hurricane Electric pointed the finger at Cogent, it has also extended an olive branch. Leber’s NANOG post commented that “we stop short of baking cakes” to encourage peering. But at this week’s NANOG 47 meeting in Dearborn, Mich., Hurricane Electric presented a cake inscribed with an invitation to Cogent to peer with HE over IPv6.

Registration for the 4th European Peering Forum is now open:

AMS-IX, DE-CIX, LINX and NETNOD are hosting the fourth European Peering Forum on 14 and 15th September in Copenhagen, Denmark. NETNOD has joined the host team for the first time in 2009 and is taking the lead in the organisation for this year.

The unique event will bring together around 200 individuals from our respective member organisations, the peering networks that have an interest in not only negotiation and strategy, but also the operational aspects of peering.
