BTW that list is missing i.root-servers.org which is located in Sweden, but that is a testing address and routes over the US instead of staying inside Europe...
Yes, you can try out 2001:7fe::53 for i.root-servers.net. We have this week ben busy working on the Ipv6 network and we are trying to get stable connectivity to i.root. As of today you should see a somewhat shorter path to i.root. We are also bringing up more peerings that will hopefully help to cut down latency.
Feel free to use the address above, but please note that it's not listed publicly for a reason (although we appreciate any outage reports to dns-noc@netnod.se).
Indeed, I know see various paths coming in over AORTA (Chello) etc. That is starting to become better. The roundtrip-paths are async over the US still though :(
I've passed the above on to some other IPv6 routing fora maybe that should get some attention.
(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@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 :-) - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.3 iQA/AwUBQP5Pt6arNKXTPFCVEQIN5gCg1ls4DWw+OzoNhuTk755oeAURqo8An2VX Tix22ttp2f8UTyVCkRy8CIRs =Z51y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
