We are trying hard to make F available from our anycast nodes on its IPv6 address. Finding exchange points which (a) will give you v6 addresses and (b) have peers which will peer with you over IPv6 is not trivial, however.
Then I should advise you to come to the AMS-IX, there is no F there and it should not be hard to get IPv6 from the IX nor transit nor peers. Just give them a shout and I am sure people are willing to help out.
F has v6 enabled for peerings at several exchanges, for instance at the SFINX in Paris, the GigaPIX in Lisbon and the Namex in Rome. We will turn it on in any other anycast location where the exchange supports IPv6 traffic directly and there are peers to peer with.
As can be seen under f.root-servers.net at the following url (use "IPv6 well known destinations"): http://www.sixxs.net/misc/latency/latency/ F is at about 100ms in IPv6 for most destinations, ~3ms from ptlis01 though. Then again if I look at f.root-servers.net over IPv4 in that same graph the average is ~150ms... hmmm IPv6 is better as IPv4? :)
We would love to be at the AMSIX but would need some sort of local sponsor for that, perhaps the AMSIX itself. I shall ask them.
See the off-list message for an offer from someone. Greets, Jeroen
