Cogent & HE

[paul at paulstewart.org (Paul Stewart)]

For what it's worth, we have a number of IPv6 peers in place plus IPv6
transit from Level(3), HE, and TiNet. 

For downstream customers, we are currently exporting them 6250 prefixes on
IPv6.

>From HE we are getting 5990 prefixes

Hope this helps a bit ;)

How divided is the table? I see about 98 routes transiting Cogent ASN
via a HE connection. Customer has only has HE as v6 upstream. An
previous post listed about a 1300 prefix difference. That's pretty
significant unless it's due to aggregation or something. I'd also be
interested to see the size of the other major carriers v6 tables so I
can patch a whole until the other upstream is ready.
