For honor of LAAP, it has already provided production address for the IX fabric since many months ago. The 3ffe:80a::/32 still in use is PAIX/Palo Alto. Mark Prior from AARNET wrote at least a couple of times to PAIX to provide non-6bone space but I don't think he got a response. The peering with Abilene over PAIX/Palo Alto has been established for more than 10 days. So the main reason of the route change was not due to a fact that the peering still uses 6bone space. A couple of Abilene routers (SNVA and DNVR) still uses the route via PAIX/Palo Alto to reach us while other routers pick routes based on their own preferences. While the number of the hops increased, the RTT doesn't change a lot (313ms vs 309ms -- average of the three measurements). -- Akira Kato, WIDE Project _______________________________________________ 6bone mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.isi.edu/mailman/listinfo/6bone
