[AusNOG] IPv6: Vocus connects to the 'Other' side of the Australian Internet via IPv6 within Australia.

[Sean K. Finn]

Hey just a shout out,

I've noticed my IPv6 routes to Telstra through Vocus are now going Direct to Telstra within Australia, instead of jumping over to HE.Net in the U.S. then back to Telstra.

So to whoever just bumped the 'ON' button for Telstra IPv6 connectivity at Vocus, BEERS FOR YOU!

Is anyone from Telstra Lurking? You could shave 100ms off my return path by routing VOCUS IPv6 Traffic directly into Vocus instead of preferencing Hurricane, by the looks ;)

So I guess the general consensus is that we're going to take IPv6 seriously in this country after all?
