(this is getting seriously off-topic)

What I did notice today, while doing some work on the routing, is that 
BGP changes seems to take forever to propagate through the IPv6 routing 
table. A change that to our direct peers lasted less than 5 minutes, 
lead to down-time of around 20 minutes for a host in the US. Wired.

As for the paths, we should have more peers up by the end of the week. 
If you are an ISP, and your are present at Netnod, and you would like 
to investigate IPv6 peering with the root-server, send a mail to 
peering at netnod.se. I was almost going to offer tunnels with BGP over 
them to anyone, but I realized I would never be able to migrate away 
from that swap so I won't  :-)
