Hi,
we are running two probes. One behind my private dsl line at home, one in our data centre.
I noticed that the IPv6 ping times to m.root-servers.net are more then twice as bad from our data centre compared to the dsl probe.
As it turns out at home I'm talking to the m-root instance in Paris while in the data centre we were talking to the instance in Tokyo(?)
Some of the fun of anycasting :-) I was pondering this issue already here in Vienna, too, but for the moment with IPv4 only, because I don't have v6 on the DSL wire (yet), but our subnet at the university does v6 :-)
It looks like this:

Not _that_ important in the great scheme of things but non the less quite nice ;)
Thanks!
Best regards,
