But seriously, this seems to be a problem introduced by XS4all. Is there
anything we can/should do about?
I have no idea :-)
The email came in to [email protected] so I thought it should be sent
to this list, so that someone who understood it could decide whether or
not it needed our input.
All the best,

Subject: XS4ALL strict IPv6 filtering

Hello XS4All Noc,
We are Host Virtual, a cloud provider that provides dual-stack IPv4+IPv6
services worldwide in 10 locations via AS36236 and AS42210.
It has come to our attention that customers in any of our three EU locations,
using our RIPE assigned ip space (2a00:dd80::/32) are unable to access the
XS4all network, including sites such as www.python.org. We announce at a
minimum, a /48 from each location as per generally accepted standards for IPv6
routability.
In previous communication with our peers, we've learned that XS4ALL filters its
IPv6 traffic based on the strict case at
http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html published by Gert Döring.
While we understand and appreciate there has been much discussion on the topic
we feel this type of strict filtering, based on rules published and not updated
over 3 years ago are now negatively impacting both XS4ALL's own customers, and
the end users of high profile sites such as www.python.org.
Being a supporter of many open source projects ourselves, and a strong
supporter of moving IPv6 forward we appeal to you to review this policy. With
IPv6 adoption now accelerating it's in all of our best interests to ensure IPv6
routability.
I appreciate your attention and review of this policy and have included
relevant parties on the CC.
Thanks
Mark
