We went further and required native. At 10GE interconnect speed, one is in the recently-upgraded core or metro access layer of most providers. These parts of the network have been ready (if not set up) for v6 for at least 5 years now. Did not pose a problem. All I need to do now is to set up the peering ;-) Had I been looking for a FE transit I'd had much more issues with v6 connectivity. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 INSIDE, I have the same personality disorder as LUCY RICARDO!!
