I'm agree. Complete check is pretty complex. Actually even routing table check for some IPv6 subnet existence will be better than "just receive IPv6 subnet allocation" on the paper. 

For example we could ask LIR to get Atlas probe and use it as IPv6 connectivity monitoring :)

Hi , Pavel,

What do you mean by "offer IPv6 address for checks" ?

As all of us understand
"Announce IPv6" doesn't mean "Use IPv6"
?

Announcing IPv6 doesn't require much efforts, isn't it.
So method of "checking the use of IPv6" should be strong enough.
